I would never

um, craig, be careful...that almost sounds like a double dog dare

Yeah, well db gave me a test red dot with instructions to ignore it. Imagine that? The software didn't hear him. I have greens, a gray and the terrible red one!

 

[Marc]

energy - Since you've volunteered to be a 'test subject'... Let's see how that red dot looks!

You had 26 'points'. I changed it to -1026. I'll change it back as soon as you're nice to me (or when you ask or later this evening as soon as I figure you've seen it!

BTW - everyone started with with 10 'points'.

Energy, look at your 'dots'. We've uncovered (Eureka!) a couple of new dots!

Dark Red = reputationneg.gif (at -1026 you have 5)
Bright Red = reputationhighneg.gif (at -1026 you have 3)

Red = Negative

Light Gray = 'Balance' (?)
Green = Positive
Dark Gray = Reputation showing turned off by the user.

The investigation continues! I'll change you back in the morning.... IF you're NICE to me!

After finishing a post to the Quality Forums thread and admiring my gem, I glanced over at the area where the dot was. There are 8 dots packed together and I thought it was a little red worm!!

So, if you see a member with two or more green dots (Like you), you know they are pretty well admired and/or respected by those who care to use the feature. That means lots of points/votes/whatever. Are you sure that when you experimented with my dots, you didn't inadvertently give yourself some green reputation points?

yes. That shows you're well loved! Anyway, gotta go audit. I put you back to where you were and added 4 points.

I think mine are mainly based upon time and number of posts. I'll have to check the settings and see if I can make them more sensitive.

Me cheat?

Eureka!

I'm sure that most of the members think just like you. I know that I do. But, I couldn't help noticing that you are in the "green". Do you think it's because we know your gender?

Hey, to quote a very wise and astute friend of mine, "It's not easy being green.

Nah, don't think the green would be because of my gender...but, ooh, sudden insight! We should change the User Reputation function to User Mood function!!! The colour would indicate if I'm happy, sad, angry, postal, frustrated, puzzled, bored, curious, interested, shocked, indifferent, suspicious, disbelieving, confident, undecided, obstinate....hmmm...on second thought, there probably aren't enough colours to adequately cover my emotional spectrum.

Go to your user control panel (UseCP) to see your point count.

I figured I did not see mine because I did not have points. However, I see that someone did add to my reputation either yesterday or today, and I still do not see it in my user control panel. Am I missing it?

 

[Jimmy Olson]

Cari,

If you got to the main page of your user control panel and look toward the bottom of the page you should see it. It should be just above the Fair Use Notice and the graphics at the bottom of the pages. You should see something that says 'Latest Reputation Received' and then your point total and a list under that of who gave you points and their comments.

Nevermind, there's my answer!
