reputation system

if any of you hadn’t noticed there is a reputaion system built into the vex forum. i have seen it used bery little resulting in almost everyone not having any reputation points. so i encourage you to click the little button and give people your opion when they post, it wont take but 10 seconds of your time.

in case you dont want to look for the button, it is the picture of the scales at the top right corner of each post. :slight_smile:

Paco…

You and I have one properly modest dot of silver/platinum/iridium/whitegold, not lots of moldy green like some people.

I am assuming that is a good thing.

I think we should proudly bring as much attention to our elegantly simple and succint, non-bragging reps as we can.

“Are you agitating the dots?” :wink:

I definitely think that we need to give rep. points were reps. are due. If someone really helps you out on a tough question or gives you some handy advice, give a little credit to that person…it is only fair.

just to make things even more easy… The reputation btton loks like this It is in the top right of each post.

Dang it. Someone went and converted my platinum dot (grey like the hair of a wise sage) into a green rookie dot.

:slight_smile:

Thanks guys,
Blake

i think the green dot or gray dot is just showing if the person is online or not. green = online, gray = offline. it has nothing to do with reputation.

we arent talking about that green dot, its the rectalgular dot on the right side right underneith your post count

oops, i was mistaken. i just wasnt sure what that rectangle is for. or how and why it changes. but according to this thread it seems to be by reputation.

my point exactally, no one know it even exists

But WHAT do the colors mean and How about the PHRASES??

BTW, as of this posting:

Green
“mister_t is an unknown quantity at this point”
“pacoliketaco is an unknown quantity at this point”
“1885.blake is an unknown quantity at this point”
“s0FaB0y is an unknown quantity at this point”

Blue-Gray
“artdutra04 is an unknown quantity at this point”

Green
“gamerfrEEk is on a distinguished road”

I seem to be:

Green
“MarkO is on a distinguished road”

Does everyone else see that too??

Yeah I see the same stuff too. I’m wondering whether or not they some how screwed it up when creating it or whether we’re missing somthing.

You would think that there would be some sort of help system here for us, but, a little searching Revealed vBulletin Documentation.

Searching through docs, html for “Reputation”, results in a few matches, but I have not found an explination of the Colors and the phrases.

AH HA!!
I found Modifying User Reputation Levels. I still am looking for colors…

Please, one of the moterators are someone in technical, help us a little to enlighten us with this problem.:confused:

all i see is: pacoliketaco is an unknown quantity at this point

where are you seeing the other text?

“Hover” over the Green Square on gamerfrEEk
or MarkO with your mouse. Watch for the “fly over” help.

gammerfreek, when you go to your user cp how many rep points does it say you have?

10 points right now, did you add some?

so thats why you are on a distinguished road and i’m unknown, i only ahve 3 points
