No, we are discussing the Reputation feature (that little square below your status). This can only be votes atm by Elites, mods and admins. so neither you, nor me can vote on posts individually. The "Rate" thing is the usual rating method: 1-5 for any user. But if the Reputation is widely implemented the old "Rate" thing will get deprecated (I don't know how WDZ will use the current ratings in the future).

It's also a good option to let you edit your ratings/reputation votes.

(Ok, I'll rate you, but do the same to me )

Hehehe sure, just tell me how..lol By what u said above it looks like neither of us can aawwwwwwwwwww shame!

Well, you can get to my profile (clicking on my nickname) and clicking on [Rate] or use the shortcut in my sig (exceptionally): [Rate me!]

Edit: Look, someone (an elite, a mod or an admin) gave you a good reputation

Could the Reputation points be shown in the profile, to see where a member got a good reputation (and to see what were his/her best posts?).

Edit: (Thanks, same did I, I was doubting between 4 and 5, but I thought that only super-members deserve that 5th star )

Yeah, I know... I kinda feel the same way... it's more possible work... though you're not forced to do it...

Also i like the idea that out will replace the member rating thing.

Me too.

But will we be able to chacge our reputation vote after we gave somebody one on voring per user? I mean, people can change their behauviour you know .

---

If I implement the "vote on users" system, you will definitely be able to change your votes. Maybe I'll allow it with the post system too, in case you change your mind, or the post gets edited. I can't think of any disadvantages to vote-changing at the moment...

That's one option... I thought of a slightly different plan after I posted this thread though: maximum votes per user per day. In other words, you can only vote for someone a certain number of times each day.

I think the future system should combine both. I explain myself:

I dunno, KeyStorm, your post confused me...

One thing: disable voting in T&T, no matter it's gonna be user or post voting. People want to vote negative to soon when reading crappy T&T posts .

I gave you a 5 star rating...see how happy i am with the lil things in life (next goal: become supermember..lol...if i ever can, considering i didnt grow up with comps)


I'll think i'll stop now...this could be considered spammin...oops...carry on guys!

Yeah, I'll add something like that. Guido had some really nice ideas/designs for the "vote on users" system... maybe I could adapt those to the post system... or just make something up myself... blah.

Oh yeah, that's another thing I had in mind...

I'm going to edit my first post if my internet connection stops acting dodgy...

Yeah... well, my dodgy English, you know:
Step by step.

• Each regular member has max 1 point to give or take to one member (to avoid so rage-voters) (range would go from -1 to 1 per member)
  
• You, as user can vote posts positively or negatively, affecting this vote to your personal average vote to that member (If I voted someone twice positive and once negative, the vote (in a range -1 to 1) is 1/3)
  
• Post-reputation stays as it is now (it's showed somewhere which posts were voted and whether positively or negatively.
  
• But the Rating of the user would vary as consequence of the post-Reputation, from -1 (worst) to 1 (best)
  
• One member can vote as many posts by one member as s/he wishes, but the votes don't count separately, the average of all votes to one member does count as one "member-vote" (I'm repeating this to see if it gets clear )
  
• Showing the voted posts in the profile (or on another pforile page) would be also a good thing

That's all about it. If you want me to explain it clearer (I wish I could ) PM me.

Hmm... I understand better now... I don't really see the point though... if you can only give 1 point to a user, it makes more sense to use the "vote on users" system. Also, I'm not sure how easy it would be to implement... it looks like you need every vote available when you do that calculation... I'm not good at math anyway.

Right now when you vote, MyBB simply adds or subtracts a point from a user's overall reputation number. With your system, it would first have to load every vote you made for a certain user, do the calculation, then... uhh... How would it update the user's reputation number? It would first have to delete the previous reputation change you made, then add the new one... right?

Maybe what Keystorm means with keeping the per post thing is this:


I like it too though that you can still see comment off why you have got a certain vote.
