Joe_Carrick Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 What are Reputation Points ? Are they good or bad? Scott has 6 and I only have 2 - maybe it's a new Golf Handicap System.

Alaskan_Son Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 What are Reputation Points ? Are they good or bad? Scott has 6 and I only have 2 - maybe it's a new Golf Handicap System. OTOH, maybe it's a grade for how verbose you are I know...whats up with that!? Scott got a point for quoting my post in another thread without adding any insight. Maybe he's just loved by his adoring fans : ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 It must be some strange calculation. Scott has 31 Posts and 6 Reputation Points Michael has 30 Posts and only 2 Reputation Points I have just 16 Posts and 2 Reputation Points Would someone please explain this? Maybe DJP can devine it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC-1701 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Don't mess with Scott! He is an 'insider' and can destroy your reputation with a 'single click' :) Just pulling your chain... I value all you guys, but have to be sarcastic, it is my nature... On another note: The final episodes of 'Breaking Bad' are now on Netflix! I know Scott is a big fan! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe DJP can devine it Joe, on the bottom right hand side of each post (except your own) are 2 arrows. You can vote any given post up or down 1 point based on its usefulness and thereby give that person a reputation point. In another thread Dan was encourages us all to use them. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 Does that mean I can go to Scott's posts and vote them down? COOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Park Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 All joking aside, we hope that users will spend a bit more time composing good responses to questions to get these points. Points are accumulated when you click the up arrow next to a post or next to content in the gallery. You get 10 points each day to award to posts you like, 1 each day to award to posts you don't like. With luck this will help boost good answers. It's not about how much you post but how well you post. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great show. I have moved onto "Game of Thrones"…… not as good….. but when I am riding the bike at the gym it gives me something to do. BTW, Lynn is reading the Harry Truman biography……. she is beginning to think he was the best President of all time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glennw Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I see that my post #10 was using a small font. I think it was because I accidently clicked on the size button. All other posts should look OK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry_Sweeney Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Randy......I have the same look with Glenn's reply (attachment). His earlier threads were the same as everyone's else. He must have changed the font. I call this "quite humor". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich_Winsor Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 You get 10 points each day to award to posts you like, 1 each day to award to posts you don't like. Not sure how I feel about this. Is there accountability involved? Does the person being rated (either positively or negatively) see who is rating them? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it if yes, then that would just lead to bad blood and a "pi$$ing" contest nothing good can come of this at all Lew I totally disagree. It essentially adds a tool other than post count to help gather information about a persons experience, knowledge, and involvement. Neither are a perfect scale, but they're better than nothing especially in combination. Limiting negative votes to one per day is an excellent way to control vendettas and keep things positive as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
