Matt Posted June 20, 2010 Posted June 20, 2010 The "Reputation" field on your profile links up with the post voting system. On each forum post you'll see the following two icons in the lower right hand corner: The gives positive reputation points and the negative. It can be particularly useful in Q&A forums where it could be used to rate the quality of the responses and identify the best answer to the initial question. We'll need to get a feel for how people use it as I'm not sure it will be applicable to all the forums on The Hub. Tjokkits, HowellingWulf and DMC007 3

Agree, elsewhere it has been used as a mechanism to boost egos and as a groupie counter and has become quite meaningless in fact GTRacing and 'Kaze Pete 2
Stryder Posted June 20, 2010 Author Posted June 20, 2010 Yes I would tend to agree with that. It could be used as an indication of a guys selling/buying qualities, maybe I don't know. GTRacing and KuotaFan 2
Guest Agteros Posted June 20, 2010 Posted June 20, 2010 I'll take the vote down on my post as "You've hit the nail on the head" KuotaFan 1
Guest Agteros Posted June 20, 2010 Posted June 20, 2010 Admin, can you set it up so that you can't vote on your own posts? KuotaFan 1
HowellingWulf Posted June 20, 2010 Posted June 20, 2010 Os, lyk my jy boer agteruit met die plus one goeters... Wat is multi quoute - al wat ek met daai knoppie kan doen is goed hi-light. HowellingWulf, KuotaFan and GTRacing 3

Lyk asof mens veskillende artikels kan quote want die knoppies bly ge-highlight as mens dit druk, maar dan werk dit nie so nie... nie seker nie. Ons sal seker so met die tyd saam leer. Ja dis jammer die groupies van 'n ander kontinent fight hulle fights hier.... Presies soos voorspel: 'n "My maatjie" knoppie [LOL] Tumbleweed 1
Guest Agteros Posted June 20, 2010 Posted June 20, 2010 Admin, Seems like I'm in the middle of a fight between the two cycling forums... Is there a mechanism whereby the reputation voting can be turned into a non-anonymous slander platform? Instead of a back slapping / back stabbing platform, how about showing who likes/agrees vs dislikes/disagree with a post?

Instead of a back slapping / back stabbing platform, how about showing who likes/agrees vs dislikes/disagree with a post? I'll see what can be done... as I mentioned earlier, I'm not sure that it's something that'll work in all forums. I'd like to see how people take to it and perhaps limit the feature to those forums where it can be of real value from a content point of view.

The only place I can personally see this being relevant is in rating peoples buying/selling (maybe a feedback page can be included on each persons profile where people can leave comments - which should include their name and not be anonymous). Any anonymous feedback function will be abused by the minority which renders it meaningless for the majority as you can not trust the feedback given. I think a lot of users would really appreciate a feedback area to judge how much you can trust someone before entering into a transaction. Stryder 1

Matt Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 I have to agree with Shaun here. <_> I've disabled it for now. I think we need to look at how best to implement it.
