Question about reputation

[muddoc]

I have been looking at a few people's profile page. For some reason, I cannot find their reputation anywhere on the about me page, or statistics page. I think when viewing a profile, this should be something that is displayed somewhere.

Also, I know if you are oin your User CP page, you can see your own Rep Power. Is it possible to have a mambers Rep Power displayed on their profile page? I ask this, because I got a reputation from someone, but it was neutral. I then went to their profile page to try and figure out why it was neutral. I kind of thought they had been around a while, and should have a Rep Power of 1.

Just curious, and throwing a few thoughts out there.

The only indication of another person's rep is the number of green boxes just above their avatar.

I don't know if that's possible or not...and our favorite tweaker is now getting his butt kicked at boot camp. But our rep power doesn't scale here as dramatically as it does at...say....Fauna. Most folks just have a 1-point "power"...with a few extra points that can be gained for really high post counts and high reps.

Even a fairly new member can have some rep power...but if they have LOST any points so that their rep falls below 10, they will have 0 power. So it's possible for a long-time member to have 0 rep power if their own rep is below 10. (Their green box doesn't turn red unless their rep drops really low)

Just curious, and throwing a few thoughts out there.

Always happy to answer questions!

Thanks for the response Judy. For the most part, you answered all of my questions with info that I already knew. I just thought that there might be a way to put some more info on the profile page. I know the Rep is depicted with the green squares, but those are not shown on the profile page. My example was that I got a rep point from a member, and I wanted to research them a bit. So, I clicked on their user name on my Rep page. This brings me to their profile page. However, from there, I wasn't able to discern the info I was looking for, and was thus forced to find a post by them to see their Rep status. I thought it was a bit much work for something that I thought I should be able to see on the profile page.

I am not trying to be a trouble maker, and I know that Nate is having a blast at the old school of harc knocks, but wanted to put my .02 out there.

Thanks again,

I always wondered how your rep increased as well. I actually thought it may have something to do with how long you have been a member (but after seeing people who joined after me I threw out that notion). Thanks for clearing this up for me!

There's a little button at the bottom of each post that looks like this:



When you see a post that you find particularly good or helpful, you can click on that button and bump up the member's rep. Leaving a comment about why you liked their post is nice, too.

You can also choose to take away a rep point if you feel a member has been particularly nasty or mean, but this option should be utilized very carefully. If abused, rep-giving privileges can be taken away.
