Sug: Reputation Notification by user27089 on 07-21-2005 at 06:04 PM

Well, what I suggest is that when you get a reputation, you are sent a message, or something alike saying the following:

You have received a +2 reputation
You have received a +1 reputation
You have received a -1 reputation
You have received a -2 reputation
You have received a Neutral reputation.

So that when you receive a reputation, you know that you have, so you can read their comments, to see how people feel about you...

- This isn't a beg for reputation or anything alike, it is simply a suggestion of a new forum feature.

I think it's a good idea, by message I presume you mean a PM?

Please people, don't use this thread for begging for them. You get rep's when you help and stuff, so don't just ask

It could be anything from a private message, to a small notification above "view latest posts"

Or maybe a pop up, like you do when you get a Private Message. But obviously there is an option for on/off
RE: Sug: Reputation Notification by qgroessl on 07-21-2005 at 06:24 PM

Yes... very good idea... I can't wait till I can give people repuatation points :D... you guys have been so helpful... And I'll only have like 2 or 3 more days at this rate... Hmm...

OFF TOPIC: Who has the highest rep? Is it Patchou?


RE: Sug: Reputation Notification by albert on 07-21-2005 at 07:34 PM

Good idea I guess it could be useful (y)


RE: Sug: Reputation Notification by Eljay on 07-21-2005 at 08:06 PM

yeh good idea, id prefer a pm instead of a popup though


RE: Sug: Reputation Notification by .Fusion on 07-21-2005 at 08:17 PM

yeah i would prefer a PM, it would be usefull to be notified. Becuase otherwise you just randomly see that you're rep has gone up/down.

Is there any chance this will happen?


RE: Sug: Reputation Notification by Tasha on 07-21-2005 at 08:29 PM

I would like it, but i'm not sure about it being as a Private Message. *-)

Will have to wait for confirmation from an Admin.

as far as I know, he does.

Also If it was a PM, you'd have to have the option to receive them on.

RE: Sug: Reputation Notification by L. Coyote on 07-21-2005 at 09:53 PM

PMs or emails (Y) Madman's idea. (Y)

I like the idea! :banana:


RE: Sug: Reputation Notification by Zephyr on 07-21-2005 at 09:56 PM

It's wierd that i was thinking about posting this just yesterday, but i was too tired to stay online.

I think it's a good idea though by PM.


RE: Sug: Reputation Notification by Plik on 07-21-2005 at 10:13 PM

Its a good idea but i dont think it should be done by pm
i think it should be like this
[Image: attachment.php?pid=500120]


RE: Sug: Reputation Notification by mwe99 on 07-21-2005 at 10:16 PM

Hmm yeah i like that idea Madman! If not, how about a daily rep report? So you can keep track etc?


RE: Sug: Reputation Notification by ipab on 07-21-2005 at 10:16 PM

well think of it this way, what if you are really popular like Patchou, then what you are going to have is a massive flood of PM's that will clog your inbox, not to mention the extra load it would put on the already huge sql db maintained on the server. Ofcourse there is always the option to have a radio button placed in the UserCp to enable/disable this, but we have to consider the load on the db on a silly little feature that is there so that one can reflect upon their behaviour on the forums.

i suggest checking your rep regularly, if you are that obsessed.

True, but MadMan, i think has the best solution, and you can turn it on/off etc

RE: Sug: Reputation Notification by qgroessl on 07-21-2005 at 11:34 PM

OHH IDEA! haha... Very good one in my opinion... How about like... a weekly or bi-weekly progress report... Saying: This is how many rep points you earned, from who, and their comments... Or something of the sort... I think that one is a hell of an idea ;)...

Or I suppose it could be monthly... I guess it all depends on how often you want to get notified ;).


EDIT: Yet again I don't bother reading what I missed out while away from the computer... haha... I completely agree with madmans idea.... Blows mine away :p

How about instead we have it make a new thread in T&T stating who gave the rep, why, and a little place for some people to :spam:

[/sarcasm]
RE: Sug: Reputation Notification by ipab on 07-21-2005 at 11:50 PM

again, like i said, its an unnecessary load on the database. even madman's suggestion needs at the least an extra query to output that info and that puts unnecessary load on the server.

plus its a waste of WDZ's talent and time. :refuck:

thats going to create a lot junk in the database.

I think im repeating myself, but I cannot stress it enough and I'm sure the users who are here since about 2 years on these forums agree with me that we dont want to stress these servers in any way possible (im talking about those realli annoying rejection redirects that everyone got when there were a lot of users on the forums).

note to Regexp: sorry if im sounding mean or rude. It's not my intention.
RE: Sug: Reputation Notification by L. Coyote on 07-22-2005 at 12:11 AM

Ok, ipab, we get the point.

I thought we were being hosted by C2Media and didn't have server problems anymore...

Edit: btw, there is no need to add an extra table or anything to do this. Just compare today with the lastest reputation given. You can add a cookie, but you can also let it be daily. (Y)

I'm talking about Madman's idea, which is the best. (Y)

Of course, one query. :P

I'm not good at explaining, so I'll do some kind of pseudo-code.

code:
query "select * from mybb_reps where id={$id}"
while(array = mysql_fetch_assoc(query)) {
today_begin = mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m"), date("d"), date("Y"));
today_end = today_begin + 86400;
if(array['lastrep'] >= today_begin && array['lastrep'] <= today_end) {
todayreps_total++;
todayreps_points += array['reppoint'];
}
}
# etc.
# echo


Please note: this code is probably bogus (aside from being pseudo and making up table stuff). I'm actually sculpting (:tongue: I'll take pictures later) and didn't have time to think about the timestamp comparison, so it might be wrong.

WDZ probably knows how to do it in a simple way. :bow:

Admins, mods, and elite members can give +2 and -2.
RE: Sug: Reputation Notification by ipab on 07-22-2005 at 12:59 AM

o, i get what you mean. Simple enough, u have me moderately convinced. tbh i doubt WDZ is going to do it though. (he has a rep to keep up u kno :P)


RE: Sug: Reputation Notification by Hank on 07-22-2005 at 01:06 AM

how many people actually care bout whether they get a Rep or not ?

:rofl: Indeed.

I'm not a die-hard fan of reps. But I liked coding the idea. :tongue:

The servers are hosted by EV1Servers. They are provided by C2Media. Big difference.

Go through every single reputation for the user? :-/

This would probably work
code:
    $query = $db->query("SELECT COUNT(r.rid) AS rep_total, SUM(IF(r.dateline>'$mybbuser[lastvisit]',reputation,'0')) AS reps_new FROM reputations r WHERE r.uid='$mybb[uid]' GROUP BY r.uid");
$rep = $db->fetch_array($query);


That would show since last visit too..

However I agree with Wj.

Why do you people make such a big deal out of the reputation system? Furthermore, what's with the useless suggestions here recently? :-/

Oh, I see! :o Looks interesting. I don't know so much SQL. :tongue: I'll write that down and study. It might save me some trouble.

Meh, I liked the coding challenge. That's the only reason I kept posting. I couldn't care less about the reps. 8-)
RE: Sug: Reputation Notification by Stigmata on 07-22-2005 at 06:09 AM

they said no.

why do you still keep talking :rolleyes:


RE: Sug: Reputation Notification by WDZ on 07-22-2005 at 06:12 AM

Just FYI, I have read this thread and chosen to ignore it. :)

:p


RE: Sug: Reputation Notification by Stigmata on 07-22-2005 at 06:16 AM

personally, i think i should have a crown.

King Stigmata.... I like it :D
