Reputation reason guidelines by WDZ on 04-11-2005 at 04:07 PM

These are the guidelines I follow when deciding whether a reputation vote should be deleted...

No comment at all (blank, or something like "no comment").
Really short comment like "wtf" or just some emoticons.
Completely random comment that has nothing to do with the member.
Some type of greeting like "hey, I'm voting for you" or "woot, Test_User!".
The comment isn't written in English, or doesn't make any sense, or is an inside joke between two members.
It's based purely on gender.
It relies on previously posted comments ("what they said").
It contains excessive profanity, disrespect, insults, or bashing.
It's part of an attempt to reach a certain number (goal), or "gang up" on someone.
An admin knows for a fact that the comment is false.

Note: Neutral votes are generally disregarded.

This list is not necessarily complete, and is subject to change. Please remember that giving rep votes is a privilege, and it can be taken away if you abuse it.

Payback reps

Votes given as payback or revenge for other votes are not against the rules because I often have no way of knowing for sure whether a vote was given out of revenge. I'm not a mind-reader.

"Reputation power"

Staff members and members in the "Elite" group are able to give more rep points than others. They can give +2 and -2 as well as the usual +1, 0, and -1.

Linking to threads and posts

You can link to certain threads or posts in rep vote comments by using the following syntax...

tid=12345
tid 12345
pid=12345
pid 12345

Keep in mind that posts can be deleted or edited, so you shouldn't rely on them for evidence.

I'm glad that you've added some rules to this now, some people were getting the most stupid reputations...

I saw this guy with 3 posts a +4 rep, and the reasons were all along the lines of "good avatar"....

Well, I know what I mean, but they were really stupid reputations, that was just an example, they were the stupidest things, we shouldn't be able to give a reputation to somebody with a low post count... or maybe at least have some restrictions...

Why don't you do it so you can't write a reputation with any lower than 15 characters?

Is adding a rep in a language the person who recived the rep against the rules? I got some Dutch rep and I have no idea what it says (negative rep, my only one).

Nice set of rules WDZ, shame rules have to be set though. If only people would use their common sense (a rep system on a forum has to do with the persons performance on those forums, my honest opinion).. *sighs*

Ahh well..lets hope it's clear now and that people will read and follow them...

RE: Reputation reason guidelines by Pr0xY on 04-12-2005 at 06:26 PM

Great Guidelines WDZ, thanks for finally setting down writin rules for the rep system.

Sorry if i misunderstood, but whats this got to do with number of characters in a rep. This is the amount of letters you can write in your comment when giving someone a rep, not how many posts.

I thought that this was about making sure people could write proper comments when they rep people. eg stopping someone saying "good avatar".

WTF? Settle down. :rolleyes:

I don't want you seeing a list of everyone I voted for, because it's none of your business, and therefore it's privacy-related.

Who someone voted for doesn't matter to anyone but admins. It's not your problem if someone is giving lots of dodgy votes, because they can only give one to you.

Analogy: I send an e-mail to 5 people. You find out who 3 of those people are by asking them. Should you be able to find out who the other 2 are without specifically asking them? Hell no.

Alright I guess it makes sense now, but the feature still would be nice...

That way I could see if <insert dodgy member name here> is giving everyone gay votes or just me...

Thats what i was thinking as well but i knew dz wouldnt allow it

Dz do u think u could put a link on the page where we see the votes we have given to the page where we can see the votes we got
I mean if we are on
http://shoutbox.menthix.net/reputation.php?voter=[id]
then at the bottom can we have a link to
http://shoutbox.menthix.net/reputation.php?uid=[id]

I am saying this cause i think we should have a back link .....
Dont tell me that u can use the back key :dodgy:

what if we r comming to that page directly from some thread or some other such case ..... its only a small link edit :undecided:

I've been seeing WAY too many reasons that just say "good member" or "nice member." Those are basically meaningless, IMO.

Na it's not, it was by a former member (can't remember who) whos account was deleted. I think I even have that on my reps too.

RE: Reputation reason guidelines by dylan! on 09-06-2005 at 01:00 AM

you could find out anyways...lets pretend i gave you a dodgy rep and you wanted to know if i only did that to u or if i always do it so i click it and it makes things easier...but without that we could still find out by looking at a bunch of peoples reps and looking at the ones i gave them to see if their dodgy or not your just making things easier

its just like saying that i have 1 rep and yyou can only see the rep that you gave me so you dont invade other peoples provacy by being able to see what they gave me

RE: Reputation reason guidelines by Hank on 09-06-2005 at 01:19 AM

i mean, there just like the World Golf Rankings, just because Tiger Woods is Number 1 on them, doesnt mean there's no other Good Golfer that can beat him. so i look at it this way. everyone on these boards generally does a Good Job at Helping.

RE: Reputation reason guidelines by Discrate on 04-21-2006 at 01:36 PM

and i think the Mods should add a rep report system. I am getting joke reps and these stupid reps that dont make sence.

RE: Reputation reason guidelines by John Anderton on 04-21-2006 at 01:47 PM

If anyone has a problem, pm an admin (preferably the laziest one so that he does some work (A) ). Explain what exactly happen and tell them to have a look. They will do the necessary checks and do what they feel is right (let the rep stay, delete it, give the user a warning or w/e)

Its simple. Dont live your lives by reps. If you get a neg and you think you made that mistake, improve yourself. If you think that rep isnt fair, report it via a pm. Just dont stop doing your work because of reps Keep up the good work. Remember, its the work that you do that counts. The reps are just to show appretiation to the work that you do.

And please stop spamming this thread by posting "xx gave me a rep saying yyy" Report it to an admin if you have a problem

RE: Reputation reason guidelines by zaher1988 on 04-21-2006 at 01:48 PM

ARS 2 which is coded by Smethead has this option!.
However the system used here is what ars like (this was coded before) but it has not being modified for additional need feature.
however it is all up to WDZ

Everybody knows about smethead's system and there are quite a few reasons that this system cannot be implied on this forum

#1 WDZ doesnt use scripts by others
#2 WDZ doesnt use scripts by others
#3 WDZ doesnt use scripts by others
#4 This forum is a lot bigger and it'd be tough to monitor all the reports and the spam it will cause (trust me there will be a lot of report spam
#5 Its basically the same as pm'ming only that you have to click a few more times .... are you that lazy ??
#6 WDZ doesnt use scripts by others

I might have repeated somethings just to emphasise the point 8-)

RE: Reputation reason guidelines by Reaper on 04-21-2006 at 02:10 PM

Also, might I add, getting a neg rep isnt the end of the world. Reps really dont mean much anyway.

RE: Reputation reason guidelines by zaher1988 on 04-21-2006 at 09:50 PM

i didn't mean that wdz should use that mod!!!
and that old thing WDZ doesnt use scripts by others i already know it!

i was referring to the point of having a report tool. !

ciao

RE: Reputation reason guidelines by Lou on 04-22-2006 at 02:54 AM

Of course he isn't using smet's mod (as you know zaher1988) because it's not his code and it's much too buggy (sorry smethead (a) ) but I still think something should be done about reporting reps.. maybe if users "spam report" they get suspended from using reps or w/e.

i'd gladly sift through all the reports if it reduce the bad reps like

******** -some date
Negative - you asked for a rep, so here you go

RE: Reputation reason guidelines by WDZ on 04-22-2006 at 04:21 AM

Well, I still think that simply having a "latest reputations" page that admins could access would really cut down on the crappy votes. However, being the lazy bastard that I am, I haven't coded it yet.

actualy its not a good reason, actualy because this was once given to me, and i haven't once asked for a rep, placing a link in your signature is not begging, its suggesting, its your choice to click it or not

RE: Reputation reason guidelines by qgroessl on 04-22-2006 at 04:34 AM

Ohh... that was given to you for that.... well... in that case it's not a good reason... but if somebody would actually physically ask for a positive rep and somebody put that... then I think it would be okay.

Reputation comments written in any language other than English will be deleted!

Too many dodgy Spanish comments lately. I can't understand them, so I don't know if they're acceptable or not.

Use google translator then :dodgy:

Google translator often returns things that don't make sense.

If forum posts have to be in English, it's reasonable to require rep reasons to be in English as well.

Its a sticky..

Edit: little suggestion, People who have.. say a -5 reputation, cant give other people a rep back? I think it could calm the rep-back-ness down abit...

Just a suggestion..

OR you could just behave so people don't have a reason to return-rep you.

If they still do it then, I guess it will be deleted since I don't think "He/she neg-repped me" is considered a valid reason for a -1.

or you could simply report it, and stop trying to get wdz to modify the reputation system at any given time for invalid reasons.

Maybe he rated you negative beacause he couldn't understand you (N)

Or something like that.

Imagine I still didn't get a rep, (my fault, was offline for 3 months after I posted ONE post, my only post).

And Vilkku couldn't understand what he meant to say either... get the point? This is an English Support Board, when the posts have the be in English, so should be the rep comments.

There's nothing to "imagine" in it. You only get a rep when you contribute something positive or negative to the community. And that too when someone notices it.

And you better stop caring(or rather posting) that you got any rep or not unless you really want some negative reps.
