The puce ring has been busted! Something strange is going on in Repland.

Oh well, whats the point of having a bit of power if you can't abuse it.:rolleyes:
We've been had !!! :eek:
You know what giving yourself greenies equates to don't you.
Hint: It can make you go blind. :D :D
Me thinks administrators are not playing by their own rules
"Reputation should be given to people who post meaningful, helpful, and thoughtful posts. Any post that contributes to the thread in a positive way probably deserves positive reputation. This does not necessarily have to mean that you agree with what was said; the point brought up may be completely opposite to what you believe, but it may be a good point nonetheless, and worthy of a pat on the back. Giving positive reputation to someone because they are your friend and deserve to have a few more green dots next to their name isn't a good reason to give positive reputation.
Administrators and moderators, give 20 points per hit. Administrators also have the power to give as many points as they like for any posts that warrant an extra bonus."
But like termite says what's power if you don't use it once in a while:D :D
( Note to self , be nice to the administrators , the new "Deep Purple People" )
Does this make a one eyed, one horned, flying purple people eater? :D
Most of you asked for the rep points to be altered. Neil is obliging you.:D AND if you look mine has been disabled at the moment.
I notice Al has been disabled as well. That only leaves BM above me. How much do you want to disable him too :D :D (Cheque OK ?)

I've read the FAQ's but still can't grasp it. Must be a Tasmanian thing. :D (got in before you big island buggers with that last comment).
It ant a Tasmanian thing, I reakon, mate. I agree with you entirely. I still don't even have a clue what any of it means either.Quote:

Is it a ranking system. Uno, guys with higher reputation are mean't to be agreed with more than those with lower ? .....Cause, that doesn't fit? There'd be plenty of new guys to this forum with loads more experience in certain feilds than old members.
cyc doesn't lead the way twas a stuff up by me whilst redoing the Rep Point System. However he is high on the list and rightly so. His posts and expertise has kept these forums up and running through some major problems and has earned him much adulation and rep points.
Hopefully what I have spent most of today messing with may settle down some of the childish rubbish that has been seen over the last little while and go some way toward ending the flaming of newbies and the stacking of greens onto friends and family, etc. And don't deny it happens because the admin can see who gives who points and all the comments left. Not that we are interested. No one has bothered until recently when the children started crying.
Here is a synopsis of the new rep stuff
Default Reputation: all newbies will start with 250 rep points Unchanged
Every 30 days, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power. Unchanged
Every 100 posts, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power. Used to be 50
For every 1000 points of reputation, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power. Used to be 100
A user now only has to make 1 post before his reputation hits count on others? (This is so they can hit back if flamed as has happened in the past.) Used to be 50.
User must have at least 1 reputation point for his reputation hits to count on others? Used to be 50
A user can no longer give more than 10 reputation clicks in any 24 hour period? Used to be 20
A user must now give 20 different users reputation before he/she can hit the same person again? Used to be 10
All Admin will now give and take 200 points at a time. Used to be 10 then went to 20 then same as other members which meant we had less rep power than many of the members
Moderators, (except for Oz) will give and take around 100 Al is still the user with the most rep points and for now will hand out in lots of around 150. (a drop of over 70% from before)
Moderators and Admins will only hand out rep points in accordance to the rules Using them for what they were intended and in the way intended. Would be nice if all members would do the same, but that is about as likely as me seeing world peace in my lifetime. Human nature being what it is, it just ain't gunna happen.
Most members don't realise that "Have a greenie" or "Have sent you a red" could actually be as many as 400 rep points. This can wipe out a newbie in one hit. Because of this all will have a drop in the points they send to people of at least 50% and up to 75% or even more depending on how long you have been a member.
Some of you will still be sending out 100 or more points in one hit. Use them wisely. Give them the way they were intended CLICK HERE and help the forums to grow.
Cheers - Neil :)
PS To stop the sniping and innuendo the rep points for admin and mods have been turned off. We don't load our own points like some of you do and even if we did we would have well and truly earned the bloody things, to anyone who honestly believes we don't earn every point we have I say............. NOTHING! You just aren't worth it.
Any chance of a mod to the User CP to display our actual hitting power as well as our own rep points? People'd be more aware of just how much their reddies can hurt if they didn't have to settle down with pen, paper & calculator to work it out...Quote:

Clif - yesterday 265 today 88
Watch out for the Cliiiiifff
Pardon my ignorance/stupidity, but how do you find out how many points (as opposed to green/red marks) other people have? I ask out of idle curiosity, since I have never participated - it seems to me that the rep points system is a distraction from the main point of the BB, to share woodworking information.

This may annoy Neil, but,,,,,,,the question for me still exists....
What does this whole rep system mean ? ..... I'd probably get into it, if uno, it was like a kinda frequent flyer system. Some kind of prize for being highly regarded.....I know, maybe you could give blokes complementry jars of Ubeaut wax every 5000 reputation points they gain. :D I could use a new jar soon too. :p ......
All that and I'm still 14th. :rolleyes:
Mate I teach everything, Im no good at it, but I still keep telling ppl stuff.Quote:

just clicked in my user cp and noticed all my greenies ( and reds - bad start ) were there, i counted and there were 39 or 40. is that meant to have changed?
just asking cos it wasn't in neils summary of what was changed
Hi Neil,Quote:
All Admin will now give and take 200 pints at a time.
It's normally me with the typo's in the inconvenient spots. This one gave me a chuckle.
I'll have 200 pints of Guinness thanks.
[edit: but if you want, you can take them back]
Hope that the kerfuffle with the reputation points settles down soon - I'm sure that you've more important things to do with your time.
Cheers,
eddie
Here is a brief and basically simple idea of what the rep points are supposed to be about:
1/ Give good rep (greenies) to people who participate with good posts that add to the interest or help of a thread.
Giving greenies is a way for members to show their appreciation, support, etc.
2/ Give bad rep (reds) to people who participate in a negative way or are abusive, etc. (Some may consider hijacking especially on a serious, informative and interesting thread to be worth giving reds.)
Giving reds is a way for members to show their displeasure at having a good thread ruined, or your disgust, revulsion at inappropriate or offencive comments, etc. (Often used to pull spammers and others into line).
The rep point system is not for giving bad rep to someone just because you don't like them or good rep to your mate or partner etc to boost their points. https://www.ubeaut.biz/nono.gif
It is about being fair and handing out a https://www.ubeaut.biz/approval.gif, a https://www.ubeaut.biz/claps.gif, a https://www.ubeaut.biz/bowdown.gif, or a https://www.ubeaut.biz/thumbdown.gif, https://www.ubeaut.biz/offtopic.gif, https://www.ubeaut.biz/spam3.gif, etc where and when deserved.
I tried to keep it simple.
Cheers - Neil :)
PS Rep points can be likened to Communism, if ever it was used correctly by all the people it could possibly create Utopia. But as I've said before; "Human nature being what it is, I ain't gunna hold my breath." https://www.ubeaut.biz/banghead.gif
PPS And before anyone jumps in..... No I'm not a commie, never have been and never will be.
Dan - Yes he is....... Well he is now. Oops.
Stirlo - Anything you have by way of rep will remain it is only the way it is dished out from yesterday that has changed.
Eddie - 200 pints of Guinness eh? "I'll ave arf." https://www.ubeaut.biz/tequila.gif
Trust me to have at least 1 typo. Pity there isn't a typo checker as well as a totally infallible spell chequer.
Cheers - Neil
