Extended reputation system

Posted 01 June 2012 - 03:19 PM

Hello,

In the past some member groups were allowed to click on "like this" at the right-lower corner of every comment made by other members.

There were some troubles to properly configure this system and now it was modified to not only allow all registered members to vote, as it also becomes possible to down vote the comments that you do not agree with.

The score of each member is visible on their respective profiles. Normal members that just registered are allowed to provide positive votes but are restricted from negative votes.

There exist several categories according to the number of reputation given to a member:
Bad -20
Poor -10
Nothing to report 0
Good 10
Trustable 40
Guru 120


As with all voting systems, good sense and civic attitude are requested when using this mechanism.

I hope you enjoy this feature.

Can i dislike my own posts to get reputation bad or do i have to ask others nicely to do so?

And when using the "traditional", is it not possible to have a button "I do not like" besides the "I like it"?
Nevertheless, I personally preferr the "classic" way. But I'm flexible ...

Can't speak for others, but i never cared, what anonymous people though or not.

Also, i would stay away, as far as possible, from a 'hate it' 'dislike it' button.
But if you decide to not, please also add a 'the poster is a moron' button. Would make a lot of threads way more readable!

Yes, would be nice to be able of "awarding" some of the pearls of literature art that we see around here.

I do agree with your opinion about the dislike button, it is prune to be a flame starter.

Since I can't also change this to display who is voting on a given comment, it is better then to just return onto the traditional like system. I'm already happy that the issue impeding other members from voting has been solved.

Will do this change next Monday, leaving things as is for now.

Well then, let's hope the board does not implode over the weekend, under the temptation of the dislike button.

One question. What has the fact, that people like a certain post, to do with expert status?

As far as i remember, the trademark of a true genius is, that people in his time consider him a moron and all his ideas nonsense.
