Well, what I suggest is that when you get a reputation, you are sent a message, or something alike saying the following: RE: Sug: Reputation Notification by mwe99 on 07-21-2005 at 06:18 PM
I think it's a good idea, by message I presume you mean a PM? RE: Sug: Reputation Notification by user27089 on 07-21-2005 at 06:19 PM
quote: It could be anything from a private message, to a small notification above "view latest posts" RE: Sug: Reputation Notification by mwe99 on 07-21-2005 at 06:21 PM
quote: 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 ... you guys have been so helpful... And I'll only have like 2 or 3 more days at this rate... Hmm... RE: Sug: Reputation Notification by albert on 07-21-2005 at 07:34 PM Good idea I guess it could be useful 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. 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. RE: Sug: Reputation Notification by mwe99 on 07-21-2005 at 08:29 PM
quote: Will have to wait for confirmation from an Admin. Oh and quote:as far as I know, he does. Also If it was a PM, you'd have to have the option to receive them on. quote: Any other suggestions Tashy? RE: Sug: Reputation Notification by L. Coyote on 07-21-2005 at 09:53 PM

It's wierd that i was thinking about posting this just yesterday, but i was too tired to stay online. 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 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. RE: Sug: Reputation Notification by mwe99 on 07-21-2005 at 10:19 PM
quote: 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 ... RE: Sug: Reputation Notification by wj on 07-21-2005 at 11:49 PM
quote: 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 [/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. quote: 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. RE: Sug: Reputation Notification by ipab on 07-22-2005 at 12:16 AM
quote: elaborate please edit: btw its still querying the database isnt it RE: Sug: Reputation Notification by L. Coyote on 07-22-2005 at 12:27 AM
quote:Of course, one query. I'm not good at explaining, so I'll do some kind of pseudo-code. code: Please note: this code is probably bogus (aside from being pseudo and making up table stuff). I'm actually sculpting ( 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. RE: Sug: Reputation Notification by Lou on 07-22-2005 at 12:50 AM
quote:cant we only give a +1 rep and a -1 rep and not a +2 and a -2 ? or am I mistaken? RE: Sug: Reputation Notification by L. Coyote on 07-22-2005 at 12:52 AM
quote: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 ) 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 ? RE: Sug: Reputation Notification by L. Coyote on 07-22-2005 at 01:06 AM
quote:Indeed. I'm not a die-hard fan of reps. But I liked coding the idea. RE: Sug: Reputation Notification by surfichris on 07-22-2005 at 06:00 AM
quote:The servers are hosted by EV1Servers. They are provided by C2Media. Big difference. quote:Go through every single reputation for the user? This would probably work code: 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? RE: Sug: Reputation Notification by L. Coyote on 07-22-2005 at 06:06 AM
quote:Oh, I see! Looks interesting. I don't know so much SQL. 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. RE: Sug: Reputation Notification by Stigmata on 07-22-2005 at 06:09 AM
they said no. 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. RE: Sug: Reputation Notification by Stigmata on 07-22-2005 at 06:16 AM
