Karma (Reputation), Chat Rooms and Some Other Contentious Chat

I'm pretty much indifferent to the idea. I like the idea that if someone's post helped another member that it get a green light, sort of like reading book reviews at any of the .coms. Nonetheless, it is still opinion based.

For sure

I think that when the green dot is awarded, it should be mandatory to use the comment line. Like, I just sent one your way with no reason except that you're from Seymour!

Good suggestion Bill. Now I'll have to go back into this thread to see how the darn thing works!! I plead ignorance!!!

Well, the weekend is here and I'm moving into it.

I don't have enough votes. Nobody likes me

Just kidding Had to throw that in there since it's been likened to a popularity contest.

Howz this for an 'anonymous' red dot?

I'm a little curious

I have to admit that every once in a while I look at the point total. What's more important is the "Reason" that is given and from who. I find that receiving a "kudo", of sorts, from members that you respect and admire (Well, kinda ) the best part of the feature. A point without an explanation is just kissing up!

Just when I was getting used to being a "glorious beacon of light" something changed, and now I'm just a "jewel in the rough."

I'm with Energy on this one. I like the comments that come with the rating.

You'll have to blame me - I think. There are some weird parts I'm not sure about like how 'repuation altering power' comes into play. Please remember - there is NO documentation for the software.

The original setup seemed way high so I lowered it to where 1000 points was the highest one could go. Recently I saw a few people with 300 to 400 points. Thinking to the future, with numbers that high that fast I made the spread a bit larger. The current settings are attached.

I like the 'system' because of the comments aspect which several others have pointed out. As long as we don't get 'seriously aggressive' about it, I don't see a problem with it. I like 'rewarding' someone for a good post. I see it as an acknowledgement that I appreciate the post.

But, I hope people only use the feature on posts in the 'Business' forums.

The request makes sense to me Marc. After your posts over the weekend you'd be so far down it would take another 4000 "business" posts just to get out of negative numbers!
Once again, good work, I for one really appreciate what you are doing.
Although I would ask WHAT WERE YOU SMOKING WHEN YOU MADE ENERGY A MODERATOR AND SHERIFF??!
We've been ragging on him all day for that.
