This new "Reputation" thing

I genuinely thought that was just showing if you were online or not :/

It is...or it was at least!

But on closer inspection, it looks like it is reputation. How odd.

No i think the green dot by your username is the online thing, The green dot under the registered user thing, when u hover over it it just say 'is on a distinguished road' whatever the feck that means

It was something a few people requested on my "If you ran NSC, what would you do" thread, so I turned it on last night.

I'll give the specifics later, but in brief you click the star below someone's name and choose to give them positive or negative reputation if you feel their post warrants it.

The weight of what you give is based on many things such as length of time you've been registered, number of posts etc. In short - if you're a long-standing frequent user, it is deemed that your view is likely to hold more weight than someone who has recently joined.

So, for example I noticed last night that BoF currently has a 'reputation power' of 47, so if he votes on you, then you gain (or lose) 47 points. By contrast a new user (and complete newbies are not allowed to vote) will only give (or takeaway) 1 point.

The green pips are an indication of your reputation - obviously we've all only got 1 now as it's only just been turned on. The words, such as 'on a distinguished road' are the default vBulletin words - I'll probably Albion-ise them when I have time so they're more relevant.

Or, if it all turns out to be crap, I'll turn it off again.

Does it inform you in any way if someone has clicked on the star?

Can you find out how many rep points you have?

Absolute awesome idea :)

1. No, although I can add in something else that will display all reputation votes, and comments, on your user profile.

2. Click on your own star. (Everyone started with 10)

Is it possible to see how users have voted, or will it be private? If it isn't private, I didn't MEAN to give you negative reputation:wink:

So it'll have things like 'First Team Regular', or even more specific like... I don't know, Gary Hart's boot cleaner?

Having it based on rep should be interesting - you normally see it related to post count
