Reputation Rules

[spacecat]

Ok added the FAQ here since ppl are too lazy to look in the other thread :p

We are allowing reputation in this forum however there are some rules that must be followed. Failure to follow these rules could result in a warning or ban.

*NO REP GAME.

*Only negative rep if it is justified and not just cos you do not like someone.

*If you recieve constant neg reps then contact an admin or mod and ask them to check if it is the same user neg repping you constantly. This will not be tolerated.

*Do not complain to mods about your neg rep unless you have been neg repped constantly over a period of time.

*Group/Gang neg reps are not allowed. If you neg rep someone and it's obvious you did it as a team (3-more members) this is considered breaking the rule.

Reputation FAQ

How do I use rep?
To use rep use the little blue square with a tick on it at the top right side of a post. Just click it and choose positive or negative. With each style the rep button may be different. Just hover over the icons till you find the one that says "add to -----'s reputation." On the current theme it is the scales icon.

Can the person see my name when I rep them?
Yes.

If someone neg reps me what can I do?
Contact a mod if you think it was not justified and/or discuss it via pm with the person who did it.

How many points do I give or take?
It depends how many points you have yourself. An admin will automatically give or take 50 points minimum from the start.

What are the custom rep stages?

Since we encourage insanity here at the asylum:

- -10 0000 is so normal that they define normal GTFO
- -50000 is the perfect human specimen
- -10000 is almost the perfect human specimen
- -5000 has got their life in perfect order
- -1500 is becoming a model citizen
- -1000 gets away from the computer more and more
- -600 has banned comics and junk food
- -400 Is starting to get healthy and fit
- -200 has stopped regular therapy sessions
- -100 has been taken off medication
- -50 has been released from the asylum
- 0 starting to see things that aren’t there
- 10 starting to think they are a shinigami
- 50 has been checked in to Bleach Asylum
- 100 is in regular sessions with Dr. Kurosaki Isshin
- 200 has been diagnosed as a Bleach addict
- 400 has been checked in to ward: Bleach
- 600 is seeing Bleach chibi’s flying around the ward
- 1000 is claiming the hougyoku is inside them and Aizen is coming for them
- 1500 is waiting to be saved by Kurosaki Ichigo
- 5000 is trying to call out their zanpakutou so they can free themself
- 10000 has been moved to solitary confinement, Bleach addiction worsening
- 50000 is under heavy sedation around the clock to stop kidou chanting
- 10 0000 has been admitted for life unless a cure is found

[emoloz]

Can i just add maybe you should put a how to rep tutorial because i am not sure everyone gets how to rep yet i had to ask Juunana how to rep as i as unsure.

[SBJ220]

For all those who are wondering, the little blue square with a check mark in the upper right hand corner of every post is the rep button. If you want to pos/neg rep anyone, just click that button and you will be prompted to choose positive or negative and provide a reason why.

-SBJ

[Kojy]

Oh that's new to me, i received a positive rep from someone and what was wondering what it was xD.

I think this rules are really good, thankfully most of the people in this forum are heartkinded so they won't put neg reps on people :D

[Slev]

Just to make sure, when some negreps you the amount of reputation you lose is based off of the reputation level of the one handing out the rep, correct? While I'm here, same question for positive rep.

[spacecat]

Hey slev I made a reputation FAQ and put it in the FAQ thread but yeah it depends on the user. Only an admin will automatically give or take 50 points minimum to start off with, other users will work their way up.

[Ogihci]

i miss the rep game lol XP

[spacecat]

LOL sorry no rep game xD As much as I loved it :p

[emoloz]

Can i just add if you want rep back please post your name on the end of your message cause i get rep and want to rep people back and dunno who it is and then i feel like really bad for not repping back >.<

[Byakuya]

What about rep ranks, can we see the list? :3

[spacecat]

The rep ranks are currently the default vbulletin ones, we are working on custom ones.

[Agmaster]

Why have rules over rep? It's pure fluff. I take that back, it's not fluff. It's a scorecard. Ironically scorecards are used in games. This is a game, this is not serious business, this should not be policed and modified. It's just green vs red, epeen measuring. How did the mods even get the idea to start this thread? Or follow through with these decrees. I disapprove...and shall neg rep accordingly. Nothing personal.

[spacecat]

People asked about it so we made rules, you're off to a good start making friends I see.

[Agmaster]

Start? Isn't this just a continuation of the hold house? Kinda like the Bleach Forums - Shippuden?

[spacecat]

We have nothing to do with Bleach 7, there is just a lot of people from there posting here plus a lot of others.

[Agmaster]

Huh, interesting. I really kinda sorta liked that place, too.

[spacecat]

Huh, interesting. I really kinda sorta liked that place, too.
Yeah so did I, they may fix the problem who knows :/

[Kristen]

I like the rep rule, personally.

We do have some people who are using them wrongly and it's not a good feeling when you see a neg rule on your rep list..out of no where. It feel like a personal attack, really.

[Agmaster]

It's the internet. It's based on pointless attacks that attempt to be personal. It's a battle of wills far as I see. If you need these regulations, it's admitting they're stronger. As far as I see, anyways.

[spacecat]

It's the internet. It's based on pointless attacks that attempt to be personal. It's a battle of wills far as I see. If you need these regulations, it's admitting they're stronger. As far as I see, anyways.
Yeah well it's just your opinion (I don't think you needed to neg me over it but fair enough reps don't mean much to me). The rules are simply because too many people do take reps too seriously and I had way too many pms about it, it was easier just to give people the rules. If you don't like them it's fine, you can always go somewhere else if it's a big deal and I'm not gonna neg rep you back over it since I take 50 points from someone each time so it's not really fair (admin default).

[Agmaster]

Yeh, I probably didn't. But I didn't want to be a liar and it was nothing personal... Who knows, perhaps I want maxed out neg rep. I'm usually too good of a poster for that to happen.

[Riekie]

heh..usually you say?

[Unicorn]

It's the internet. It's based on pointless attacks that attempt to be personal.

Yeh, I probably didn't. But I didn't want to be a liar

Liar about what?

[Agmaster]

Reference my first post about my lack of love for the rep rule. Last sentence and all.

[Unicorn]

Yes I read it all.

You claim that reputation are just a random bunch of colours used in games, should not be policed, and there isn't anything personal about you actually going ahead to negrep someone just for the heck of it.

After which you state that its a pointless attack that attempts to be personal, and a battle of wills.

After comparing all these against your statement 'I didn't want to be a liar', this sounds really contradictory to me.. especially the :
- 'used in games' and 'not be policed' vs 'pointless attacks'
- 'nothing personal' vs 'battle of wills'.

What were you NOT lying about, please? Especially when you proved that you were capable of a pointless attack (negrep) AND a battle of wills (rage against the rules, sorta thing?)

[Agmaster]

I disagree with the game, sure, but I am in no position to change it so why not play along? My reasoning behind the negrep was this coupled with my stating that I am going to negrep spacecat, which I did.

This IS a game. As far as I can tell, forums are a few steps away from MMOs, which are a few steps away from RPGs. You spend your time socialzing (questing) because you enjoy the content of the forum (game) and receive awards (quest items, rep, e-status, allies and enemies [it is fun to have a forum rival sometimes]). Certain rules make sense even if I disagree with them (profanity, cheating the system, the rep game [which I never heard of until today], etc.) so while I freely and vocally state my opinion, I have no driving need to force change.

Succinctly, the net is a social game that has rules (some I agree with, others I don't) that I understand and deal with.

As for the battle of will versus nothing personal statements, I can see how that seems contradictory. Since I enjoy debating random things from time to time, I take losses not personal.

When I neg repped space, it was nothing personal. I simply said I would, and thus did. Had I not, I would've been a liar.

I see how I contradict myself. And thus I try to elaborate. It was nothing personal as far as me doing it , I did do it just for the heck of it, it is a pointless attempt at a personal attack (because people respond to rep so often), and thus it a battle of wills between the reppee and repper. Those two aren't even words, but I think in context this all made sense.

Too much text? Just maybe.

[Riekie]

whoa...you're very serious about this aren't you?

[Agmaster]

It's Saturday. Got nothing better to do yet.

[Riekie]

Yeah..apparently..

oow and I might have to give you a positive rep..'cuz it seems you're an unknown quantity..well..you're still petitioning to try and stay Hollow so here's your pos neg:D enjoy it while you can..

EDIT: Aww shucks..I have to spread the love around..but it will come your way soon..

[Unicorn]

When I neg repped space, it was nothing personal. I simply said I would, and thus did. Had I not, I would've been a liar.

IMHO, alternatively you could have simply edited your post and not made the claim. You have already publicly expressed your dislike of the rep rules, but have not made any constructive counter-suggestions.

Anyway, thanks for your explanation about disliking the rules. So if I understand you correctly, you seem to accept the rules but are still suggesting the rules are worthless because its just 'a game'.

I am sure that relaxing the rules will give rise to many more members with the following attitude:

It was nothing personal as far as me doing it , I did do it just for the heck of it, it is a pointless attempt at a personal attack

How then would you propose us, the mods, to respond / react to these members?

[spacecat]

Let's not continue this. He had an opinion, no one has to like it. If he wants to neg rep over such things it's his prerogative. We will just not expect complaints when he is negged himself which is fine by me since it's what half my pms are about.

[Agmaster]

So...can you three neg me back to unknown quantitative status? I miss it.

[AnimeGirlPan]

Reping on here isn't some kind of game though..I think when you rep somebody with postive rep..i think you need to give a good reason and not just go and random rep somebody..and thats all i can say

[spacecat]

So...can you three neg me back to unknown quantitative status? I miss it.
Sorry ags as much as we all would love to neg u we changed the rep titles to custom ones so you can't get it back. :love

[spacecat]

Its all in the FAQ mate :D

[Agmaster]

Hm, at 158 I need negative 158 to see things that aren't there. Anyone got that kinda pull feeling *un*generous?

[spacecat]

I can take 100? :nuts

[spacecat]

You are released from the asylum, a good day to you.

[Agmaster]

There's no way for me to tell what another's rep weight is is there?

[Rain]

Agmaster- do you just want more red squares or to be banned, I'm confused.

you can probably get a basic idea for others rep weight using the chart on the first post.

[Agmaster]

I want 0 rep. Either that or to earn red on my own by irating people without breaking rules. The latter takes work, so I'll just have the 0 rep.

[Unicorn]

I want 0 rep. Either that or to earn red on my own by irating people without breaking rules. The latter takes work, so I'll just have the 0 rep.

Thanks for the advance warning about irating people, Aggy. ;)

[Cezaria]

Hmm so for example I have 100 posts, 100 rep points, and have registered for 50 days. I have 1+1+1=3 rep point power?

[Marionette]

I was just wondering, how don you decide what's "gang rep?"

[negativzero]

it only happens if we get a complaint of someone being mass neg-reped. then we investigate since we can see who reps others. but really its by a case by case basis. and usually the only people who are mass neg-repped seem to be assholes anyway, but we don't care about them. :p

[Rain]

I have a very noobish question:o

When I try to rep someone I get a message box saying I don't have permission to preform that action:headscratch How do I fix that?

[negativzero]

Well, that usually means you've either maxed out your rep limit for the day, or you've repped a person too many times. so you need to keep spreading around your rep.
i believe space is the only one with unlimited rep, as an admin..
*is jealous* @___@

[Rain]

That's what I though at first, but it has never worked. No matter how long I wait or who I choose to rep it says I can't (even people I never tried to rep before):headscratch

Could it be something wrong with my computer itself (I know so little about computers it's pathetic)

[negativzero]

hmmm... seems like a rather peculair prob.
try repping people for another day and see if anything changes. if it doesn't, post back here and we see if we can do something else @__@

[Rain]

It still doesn't work:(

Right after I click the blue square (it is the blue one I'm supposed to click right) I get a message saying I don't have the permission to do it:headscratch

Could there be a option (under the User CP) that I may have accidentally clicked or something that could do this?

[spacecat]

Nah not really, i checked your permissions also and you do have permission to rep. You just click the blue tick next to the red x in a persons post...you are doing this right? If it still doesn't work then i suggest clearing cookies from your browser and re-logging in. If that doesn't help then i dunno @_@

[negativzero]

If space's idea doesn't work...
try creating a new account. if that works, good, if it doesn't, count yourself as the one getting perpetual unrequited rep ^__^

[Rain]

Nope, still doesn't work. The last idea I had was if you could maybe turn off my ability to rep, then turn it back on. Maybe that could reset it or something (don't laugh at my limited computer skills:D)

Thanks anyway .nez|and spacecat

Thanks, just making sure.

I gave it another try using a different computer and a different internet connection and it worked:D

Thanks for all the help .nez| and spacecat

ok how weird but great XD

[Shinrin]

Was wondering if an extra kind of "rep" could be add
For winners of competetions and stuff like that(Amv competetion, manga Triva etc.)
Or perhaps make it like a wandering trophy. So that someone got the title Triva master till the next triva is over and a new winner likely is found.

[Unicorn]

@ Shinrin and Rain - thanks for the suggestions!

[laurie b.]

Spacecat: thanks for the FAQ, I was wondering what those little boxes meant and why I got some in my inbox. I know that makes me sound really dumb but none of the other forums I've ever joined had such a policy. It's actually pretty good.

After fully understanding it, I think it's better to consider rep as instant good karma/bad karma, don't you think? :)

[hemagoku]

y does it say they ? can u make it say he or she depending on gender ?


Edit: what exactly do you mean? Could you please clarify? Thanks. ~ Uni

[Rain]

Unicorn- I think hemagoku means that when you look over some of the rep titles it has a "they" or "their"

ex. *member name* is trying to call out their zanpakuto so they can free them self

hemagoku wants to know if it can say

ex. *member name* is trying to call out his zanpakuto so he can free himself

at least I think this is what he's asking:p

[spacecat]

No we can't make it say he or she unfortunately so we have to use they.

ya thats wat i meant ,but ok

[Ogihci]

I'm guessing that the rep game won't be brought back huh?

[Riekie]

@Ogihci: Nope.

[hemagoku]

wat game ? or this considered spam ? if so then delete this post

[Rain]

I think was kind of asked before, but I don't remember an answer being given.

Are we allowed to have competitions where the prize is extra rep (not the greatest prize, but its something right :p), or would this be considered a rep game

hemagoku- I'm not 100% sure, but I think the rep game is just something where the sole purpose is rep. Like if someone made a "rep the person above you thread"

[Riekie]

@Rain: we are still thinking of 'rewarding' our members when winning a certain competition like that..it's in the works, sorta.

[negativzero]

@rain: as long as its not something retarded like the spam-games
something more valid would be like a fanart contest, gif making contest or sig making contest and the like. in other words, something which contributes to the forum.

am not good at those :( but if maybe highscores in a game or something i might be good at it

[lookingback7]

Hi there!

I'm not sure I really understand how the rep thing works. Do you give someone a pos rep if they make a really good post or have nice art or sigs/banners and cool stuff like that?

And a neg rep is for if someone trolls your FC or something - just to sort of let them know that they are pushing it?

Sorry if this is all explained somewhere else. I did read the rules but I may have missed that bit.

[Frosted Heart]

Yes, that's pretty much it. :)

If you like someone's post/avatar/banner, if it's their birthday, etc. you can positive rep them. Reasons for pos repping someone are quite varied.

However if you disagree with someone's post, you can negative rep them if you so choose. We just ask that if you neg rep someone, it be for a valid reason rather than mindless bashing. And if the situation is bad, it'd probably be better to tell a mod rather than neg repping the person. :)

Hope that helps!

[lookingback7]

Yeah, it does help, thanks!

:)

[ZarakiKenpachi]

if you post in all caps by mistake


should someone just warn you about it

or immedietly neg rep you

cause thats what happend to me and im fuming mad!


it said "STOP USING CAPS LOCK!"

and thats it

i think this person should have pm me about it and i would have fixed it

sorry for this post but i needed to vent

[spacecat]

You pos repped someone so they negged u for using caps? Im gonna look into this, it could be done by pm yes indeed : D neg repping for that is lame.

[ZarakiKenpachi]

YAY SPACECAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you rock!

can you give good rep for no reason?

cause i do that ALOT~!

[Unicorn]

Giving good rep randomly isn't a problem.

In future, could you please avoid double-posting? Just edit your original post. Thanks.

[hemagoku]

hey mods i lost a rep from zaraki ,y ?

[Rain]

*I know I'm not a mod but I'll try to help anyway*

Are you saying that now you can't see the "message" he left?

If thats the case, then you didn't lose the rep, but the post that he used to rep you was deleted. You still have the rep points from it though

[negativzero]

*I know I'm not a mod but I'll try to help anyway*

Are you saying that now you can't see the "message" he left?

If thats the case, then you didn't lose the rep, but the post that he used to rep you was deleted. You still have the rep points from it thoughYeah, what rain says is true...

[hemagoku]

ok ,thnx both

[Agmaster]

So, I've been thinking and I still don't see what's so wrong with indiscriminate neg rep if it's green sibling is just fine to be tossed about mindlessly. Does karma just not fly around here?

[Unicorn]

People don't mind getting random donations of money (pos reps). However they take exception to getting robbed (neg reps) unless with good reason.

eg. 'robbery' neg reps = 'zomg the grammar sucks, i'm gonna neg everyone around me 'cos i'm angry'.

Us mods are around to ensure that the majority aren't getting 'robbed'.

You, sir, have a habit of placing 'robbery' neg reps. If you really are in desperate need for people to retaliate with neg reps, you don't need to resort to such childish behaviour. Just ask nicely to be neg repped.

[Agmaster]

I just toss it about indiscriminately as a way of saying I read things. if they feel the need to return the ffavor for whatever reasons, more power to them. After all, does the thief himself hate being robbed? Then I submit I am not suc ha thing.

Wha? Like period? Shameful.

[Unicorn]

I submit that BA does not like thieves.

In other words, do not toss about indiscriminate neg reps just to show you can read english.

note: all other posts of yours will be deleted after this.

[hemagoku]

ok , now y can't i rep zaraki nor rain ?

[negativzero]

you can't rep the same person too many times, spread your rep around and you'll be able to rep them again soon enough...
oh and you cannot rep the same person in 24 hrs

[Agmaster]

Is there a quantified number of people I have to rep before coming back to someone that I want to rep? 5? 10? 15? Just curious as I rarely rep, but it happens to be the same people persisting in rep garnering behavior. It's kind of lame that I read a post a week later and 'have to spread' the rep around.

Also I notice there is a bit of a cutoff with the rep listing? Part of the hardcode of the forum or a choice on space's part?

[Velius]

I actually think it varies by how much you rep, because I too have tried to find a number for it, be it comes out different every time. Though it is usually around the 20 to 25 mark, of people before you can rep the same person.

[Agmaster]

That's a ludicriously high amount even if this the internet and rep should be tossed about haphazardly. Sapce, can you change that at all?

[Rain]

accprding to the first post:p, unless it was changed (and I wasn't told:yell:D) you have to rep 15 people before you can rep the same person again (admins are exempt)

and 25 is the limit in one day (admins are exempt)

[spacecat]

No it hasn't been changed rain and yeah guys I made a pretty picture for the first post so ppl didn't need to ask :)

[Velius]

Wow, I'm blind as hell. I honestly never knew that was there. It always seemed like more to me. @.@> Thanks for that Rain and space, that being, having eyes. :D

[Thantos-Espada]

as a question, does the reputation change your rank, or is that posts only...


cause ive seen people with nearly the same post ammount that have massivly different ranks...


or am i just seeing stuff?

[Rain]

Thantos- only post count affects your title

your rep title (have no clue what else to call it) does change with how much rep you have.

both lists are are on the first post of this thread:D

[Thantos-Espada]

ah i thought iwas the same as an invisionfree,

the little green squares are the rep/rep title...


cause im used to the amount of symbols = your rank/title...

but because their seperate, i didn't get it^^

[Rain]

what is blue rep (red is neg and green is pos), is it just nuetral or something

i'm not joking, the troll who has been banned like 7 times had blue rep (still does)

this isn't important but I noticed it and was wondering about it

[Unicorn]

I believe that blue rep is from people who do not have enough posts / rep for their rep points to actually count towards increasing or decreasing your grand total.

[Rain]

that makes sense, but even new members who just join have green rep and members that have never posted or been repped also have green rep

-sidenote- it isn't that if that person reps someone its blue, the rep bars under their username were blue

I ask the wierdest questions here don't I:D

[Unicorn]

Understand where you're coming from.

What I mean is that when a new forummer tires to pos or neg rep someone else (eg. me), their reps don't count towards increasing my own rep points count. Because they themselves don't have the minimum rep points / post count to effectively give reps.

However if I were to rep them, I can effectively influence their rep points. Because I have enough post count / rep points.

Makes sense?

[Rain]

Unicorn- yea that makes sense, but I'm not talking about when they try to rep someone

their rep display is blue (like how almost everyones here is green)

and more off topic (because i'm cool like that) new members don't have to have any rep/posts for the rep to count on someone (doesn't it say that in the first post of this thread)

[Unicorn]

They can have 0 posts but must have at least 10 reps (or rep points, can't remember clearly).

Who has a blue display? I wanna go see it for myself. Never noticed it before.

[Velius]

That happens when someone reps you and has 0 rep influence, the rep they give you have a little blue bar. You got rep, but it did nothing.

[Rain]

but it has nothing to do with when they rep me, its their display :crazy

Unicorn- I've noticed it three times before but can only find one person it with

member 2242 ekinig555, he was banned a few weeks ago i think

anyway, thanks for the help Uni and Vel:hug

[Velius]

Well, besides what I said being applied to their visual rep, I don't know why else someone would have it. Space is the only on that could probably answer that.

[Agmaster]

Oh my god, I'm getting anonymous neg reps, can you guys do something about this? I need green bars.

[Velius]

What happened to, "You can never neg me enough" Ag? Why this sudden change in needing green bars?! xD

Being anonymous is the system. That is not enough for it to be removed. The rep has to be undeserved or constantly by the same person for no reason, ect ect.

[Agmaster]

Oh you know that was just a phase V. Now, I'm whoring green just like all the other kids. ;b

Dude it was totally undeserved, all I did was insult Byakuya, Gin, and Histugay (Sarada has such a way with words). It's not like I called Rukia out or something....this time.

Oh for F-'s sake, I got greened again. This is why we can't have nice things.

[Frosted Heart]

but it has nothing to do with when they rep me, its their display :crazy

Unicorn- I've noticed it three times before but can only find one person it with

member 2242 ekinig555, he was banned a few weeks ago i think

anyway, thanks for the help Uni and Vel:hugThat's true, he's been banned from this forum. The blue rep bars probably means he's been banned and his rep title no longer 'counts'. Or in other words, his account's been frozen. ^^

[Thantos-Espada]

can i ask how mutch rep you need to give before you can go back to the same person?


not that i want to spam it, but i just wanna know... so i can set reminders...


cause it says


"u cant rep this person again until your spread the love *rep*"

[Riekie]

about 10-15 times? I have truly know idea:D

[Thantos-Espada]

makes 2 of us. but its somtimes annoying when, say i just commented on your poem and gavwe you rep for it...'


then went into your images and saw a good one and wanted to credit you on that aswell, i cant cause i need to give other people some more before i can continue...


not that its and issue i just cant remember who i need to give it to whho deserves it

[negativzero]

Read the first post!

[Thantos-Espada]

Nez the only thing i found on the first page is the rules and the pointing system, nothing about time limits or Quoata's you need to fill before giving rep to the same person again.

>.< Honest i just read the first too pages...


i just wanna know how long it is before i can give the same person rep again. it might be in the later pages if so, please say page number or just Link me

[negativzero]

Lol, you must not be reading carefully... it says 15

[Thantos-Espada]

<.< still cant, but never mind^^

Thank you for clearing it up, sorry for being a pain in da but for like the 9th time >.<

I wont ask anymore questions...

It's not a random comment, but a question. Just because I gave the insight behind it does not mean you should ignore the content for the covering.

[negativzero]

In any case, we're still not gonna hide your reps, no matter the reason. If you're good, you get + reps. If you're behaving like an asshole, you get - reps. If you have beef with whomever is repping you, PM us so that we can investigate.

[spacecat]

Just letting everyone know that i decided to make it so that ppl can now see who reps them xD

*Wayne's World Moment* WE ARE NOT WORRY, WE ARE NOT WORRY.

It's nice to change it up a bit. Change is good. Sir cart you are a credit to your service. xD

*REPS SPACE FOR REP REFORM*

Honesty is always the best policy in my book.

Thanks space! I'll rep you once my 24 hours is up! XD

[Mei]

Yup, no misunderstandings any more :o hehe
Good idea :laugh

[Miyona]

Yay this is great >_>

no more invisible negrepping aliens.

[Shadoblak]

This should get very interesting...VIVA SPACECAT!

[debbiechan]

LOL, Ag, what do you think the mods are going to say to your even ASKING to ask?

Your notions of reputation reform are too advanced for us mere humans, my friend.

[Miyona]

Oh man, I can't hide my 'oh so insidious' anonymous neg repping now? Whatever shall I do? So...if you can actually change the system can I make a request?

Well if they do change it, we will know who one of the invisible negrep aliens are now^^

[debbiechan]

Actually, my experience with Agmaster has been that he is an honorable NON-anonymous neg-repper. I've always admired him for that (and now I can't pos rep him anonymously for all those awesome posts of his! :D)

[negativzero]

Ok kids, while its cool and all now that you can see the bad guys like we do, but remember REP RESPONSIBLY. Don't just neg rep someone because you don't like them or they don't necessary share the same opnion as you. But do it because they deserve it like flaming or trolling and such. If the rep system is abused, we wil still know and if you've been unjustly negged do contact the mods so we can take necessary action. ;)

[Agmaster]

Because I never know when to quit;

The request is 3 pronged...but I'll deem to stick with just one part for now. I simply want the list of recieved rep extended. I know, I know, it's so selfish of me to be able to see everyone who has ever repped me (insert muttered profanity here, but use your imagination as I am playing nice), but tell you what..make it so everyone else gets it as well. Er go, latin meaning therefore, we all can see everyone who has ever repped us.

[Velius]

If it could be done and spacecat wanted it like that, then it would be like that. Since one and/or both of those are not the case, it is not like that. Your question has been answered. Don't bring it up here anymore.

[Orihime-Chan]

Don’t you guys think you’re making a big fuss out of this repping system stuff XD it’s for decoration nothing more!

And why is every mod in this forum are modifying this thread all at the same time XDD

[spacecat]

I understand what you are saying Orihime chan but think about it...why do you think they got rid of reps at BF? Cos some posters do take them too seriously and cause problems giving mods a headache. It's the same here, half my pms each day are complaining about rep meanwhile the other half of the forum repwhores. When members stop taking it so seriously then we won't have a need to.

I'm not taking it away cos personally I like it and don't think some people abusing it should ruin it for the people who don't. People can take it seriously if they want but personally I don't however the mods are here to make things run smoothly so unfortunately when others take it seriously we have to listen ;)

And why do so many mods post here? I guess since lots of people ask questions here, same as in the suggestions thread. Most of the forum doesn't need so much attention since most people posting here don't cause any problems. :)

Yeah, BF is a very VERY bad example in how a forum should be run. A cyclic of database errors, disabling the rep system and (the last straw) closing the pairing FC’s. :/

I know, but it’s a mere decoration. it doesn’t define you! your ava and sig might say a lot about you more than your rep. XD

and I’m not implying or suggesting that you disable them! No. I’m just saying that ppl shouldn’t take them seriously!!! Then again, most of the average posters here are teenagers, they’re apt to take them seriously -_- therefore their complaining and whining should be ignored! Take it with its good and bad sides!

lol I was just wondering! it was kind of odd to see all of the mods gathered here to modify this one thread. but like you said, probably becoz this thread was more active than the others! :p

Anyways, keep up the good work XD

Edit: just so that no one thinks I'm a hypocrite or anything; yesterday when I wrote these posts I only had like two green squares (what do you call them?) in my rep bar and now it's full!! In just one day!

I don't care about rep and I never asked for any but I really loved the nice comments that came with them! Thanks you guys <3

[lookingback7]

Hey! What do you do if you unintentionally neg repped someone? I'm such an f-ing n00b at this! I thought only the x box negged. *shoots foot*

ouch!

eta - I was just looking at the check box for repping - the pos rep seems to have an option to disagree yet still pos rep - or am I wrong? If you disagree does that make it an automatic neg?

[Frosted Heart]

Who did you accidentally neg rep? If you don't want to say it here, PM me or another mod and we can erase it for you. :)

EDIT: If you click on "I APPROVE" that will give the person a positive rep.

If you click "I DISAPPROVE" that will give the person a negative rep.

The check box and the X are the same button. ^^;

[07Janina07]

I like the way reps are no longer anonymous. I love the fact that people now leave their names. It has stopped the senseless neg repping. I know its kinda late but..

Thanks a bunch for the modification!:glomp

[debbiechan]

People are horrible cowards, are they not? I haven't gotten one neg rep since the modification.

The girlish rep games are still going and "rep-sprees" whatever but I like that the system is still in place so I can just be generous with my love of what people post.

[AnimeGirlPan]

i got a question-
when is the only time can somebody acutally negative rep you?
cause that really hurts me hard...

[spacecat]

AGP: people can neg rep you anytime but if it is really over nothing then we may remove it.

[Ryuuko]

I'm finding it difficult to calculate my rep power. Is there a way we can have displayed?

[spacecat]

It is displayed in your cp @@

[Rain]

Ryuuko- you mean how much rep points you'd give to others right

yours is 1 (what everyone starts with) + 3 (you joined about 5 months ago) + 245 (current rep level) + 44(post count)

thats 293 right now:D

[spacecat]

Oh you mean what you give not what you have? Nah no way it can be displayed for you, only mods can see it on people's profiles, I can't make it any different sadly.

[AnimeFantasyFan]

Space, I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but do the (green) buttons on the left side of the rep columns mean anything?

I was interested to see if I'd been neg-repped or not. Thanks! :D

[Rain]

AnimeFantasyFan- the green boxes/buttons in the rep display/chart mean that is was a positive rep

a negative rep will be red

[AnimeFantasyFan]

Oh, good to know. Thanks Rain!! :D

[Thantos-Espada]

So its 15 people before Repping the same person again >.<

Sigh this is bad, i normal rep the artists i think are doing well and improving. and alot of the time theres about 10 new peices of art, meaning that atleast 5 members will miss out on reps even thoguh their works is also really good.


If it's ok Can i ask a mod to Rep people on my behalf if i think they have done well enough and i cant rep them?

[Rain]

Thantos- i don't really think any mod would do that, it kind of defeats the purpose of rep (like it actually has one), but good luck:D


If you just need to spread rep around go to places where there are lots of members, or you still want it to be art-based there are a lot of people posting stuff in the bleach-captions thread, or even the FC's

lots of members post their fanart or fanfics in FC's as opposed to the art section

[Thantos-Espada]

they do? (goes to investigate)

Thanks rain^^, and yeah i was tryin to think outside the box. we have alot of talented artists, and anyway if i can't rep them, ill pm them or reply to their art with a compliment, it isnt quite the same but "its thoguht that counts"

[~Vizard/Espada~]

Thanks Space I was wondering about the rep points.

[Mad_Scientist]

My apologies if this has already been suggested, but with the info from the recent chapters now, I think it would be fun to have a new rep rank related to the Maggot's Nest/Hive. "Think's he's in the Maggot's Nest and is waiting for Kisuke to release him" or something similar. :D

I'm not sure how this new rank would fit in, though.

[negativzero]

well, we don't have enough info on the extra chapters yet nor the idea wtf mayuri is doing there so for the time being, no xD

[spacecat]

lol I get what you are saying, I might totally re do the rep levels since people reached the highest so fast lol.

I have made a change to how rep is calculated to slow it all down a bit cos the levels (mostly mine) were getting a bit beyond a joke lol

[Thantos-Espada]

Thats cause every one loves you^^ And reps u to the moon and back >.<

[spacecat]

Nah the same ppl rep me over and over that's all :o

[Thantos-Espada]

¬ ¬ Stalkers Eh? hhmmmmm.


So we're gonna increase the highest rank for reps?... i think maybe also lowering the ammount of negative reps, because how would some one get over 1000- reps...


if hes/she is really that bad the others have to say negative things about them maybe they need a sturn talking to from the staff...


(But is there a way to show the acticity of members?)


ive seenon other forums (dunno bout v bulletin) that they have their rank, but then also have an activity meter, that shows how active that person is...

i really like the idea, because it'll tell me when people post their art, how active they are, so i know when / have rough guess how mutch art they'll upload...

Also i think it makes people look kewl and you really then noticed the active people who try their hardest to keep BA active

[spacecat]

This isn't the suggestions thread but I have seen what you mean, it might be a hack or in the new version we just installed, I will check it out. The ranks might be changed if we get around to it but the low ranks won't change, some people actually ask for neg reps so they might get that low, and I know, I know, it is abuse of the system but I don't think the rep system can exist without being abused so it doesn't really matter XD

[Thantos-Espada]

well its your system so weather it counts as abuse or not is down to you^^.

i like the new rep though i dont get why half of the squares are dark and the others lgiht...

is it like full rep and a hlaf or somthing?

[spacecat]

I don't know, it's not my system it's vbulletin's system. I can turn it on and off though. ;)

[rei_ai]

It's really bugging me now, but i can't see the rep button. I wonder if it's just me or my computer, coz i can't see the "little blue square with a check mark in the upper right hand corner of every post". :headscratch

[spacecat]

It's cos we changed styles, on each style the rep button is different. On the new style it is next to the little man under your rep bar (the white scales button).

[rei_ai]

I see. I guess I missed the post about it?
I checked the first post and I thought the instructions changed, but it was still the instructions of the old lay out.

Thanks, anyway.

[spacecat]

There wasn't a post about rep but there was a post about the style changing. I guess most people just figured it out themselves.

[Naota]

In some versions of VB, it's possible.

[spacecat]

Hmm that is just your total I am pretty sure, same as in the cp, I know we can display that but its in the cp so why bother? Or you can look on the stats list. I will have a look into it again anyways.

No, no, I mean, there's an option to show how much rep power a person has right under their postcounts.

Go to your admin control panel. The setting is under VBulletin Options > Thread Display Options > Post Elements.

http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b30/Dark_wolf247/displayreppower.jpg

All you have to do is just check the box that says "Display Reputation Power".

[spacecat]

Yeah well i thought you were asking for something totally different, yeah I know that option is there, I just decided not to use it. You can see it elsewhere so it's not really needed.
