Got a bad reputation?? (was Karma!)

[pamelamama]

Ok, no one has a bad reputation! What is reputation? From here:

reputation info (http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/main/reputation_intro)

User Reputation in its simplest form is a ranking of your user's benefit to your forum. Its basis comes from the opinions of all of your forum users that choose take part in it.

Users gain and lose reputation based on how their posts are scored by other forum participants. Users with the ability to affect reputation, will either give or take aways points by approving or disapproving with a post's content.

User reputation can be a derisive element of your forum so great care should be taken before a decision is made to enable it.

All of the factors that affect a user's reputation score are found in the User Reputation section of the vBulletin Options. Please view that section of the manual for more information on controlling how users are able to affect another user's reputation.

Except, I've disabled the negative thingy, so you can only add to karma, not delete it. And you can leave a comment! AND you read your comments in your user cp. So, since we lost all the Karma stuff, you can start spreading the REPUTATION love! Maybe we can change it to 'Karma'... I dunno.

[pmcgary]

Man I am glad we don't have that on one of my other forums...I would surely be in the negatives with all kinds of negative feed back...I am such a trouble maker (well I just can't keep my opinions to myself!

[mommomrebecca]

What forum is this you speak of?? I wanna see all your troublemaking opinion, heh heh :brow

[pamelamama]

It's not a forum... see the little scale thingy in the lower left hand corner of each post? And the "Rep Power" is how many points you give someoen when you give them 'reputation' The more you post, and the more rep you have, the more you can give.

Get it?

[twouglyducks]

k, i cant find how to leave or read it?

[pamelamama]

you leave it by clicking on the little scale

you read it in your user cp!

[twouglyducks]

ooohhh the scale... sorry. :blush: was trying to click on the rep power square.

hey, i can leave myself rep power!!

[mommomrebecca]

I mean the other Pam's other forum, she said she is a troublemaker there.

[RufusBeans]

awww man I had 52 in the old... now I have 0

[JustLookin]

If you want to go to the bother of being approved.

I think they get tired of the fact that my brain is full of all sorts of trivial information and I share it freely. (I have about 15-20 years of life experience more than most of them too.)

Actually where I am currently on the 'hot seat' is our discussion about antidepressants and ppd...Thank you Tom Cruise.

OOOOH I should be careful there are people on this forum and that one.

[JustLookin]

I have a question about this.
I click on the scale on my own post to tell me how many points I have and it says I have 6. I see you left me 1 comment. Do we know how many point each is and why is it showing me at 0 if I have 1 comment and 6 points?

[marnie]

where do i find out if anyone left comments about me?

me me me! all about me!

[JustLookin]

just click on user CP and itll be right on that first page

[marnie]

ohhhh. i see it. but i don't see who LEFT such a nasty comment about me!

(kidding!)

[mommomrebecca]

Oh, this is just too much fun :arwyn

[JustLookin]

ahh now I have 9 points and can see that 2 people gave me rep. hehehe

[pamelamama]

your rep power is how many points you can give when you click someone. it shows under your name, next to the box.

Register Date Factor
For every 365 number of days, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power.
(past days dont seem to factor in??)

Post Count Factor
For every 100 number of posts, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power.

Reputation Point Factor
For every 100 points of reputation, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power.

[JustLookin]

ahhhhhh interesting, I must go spend my reputation-altering power :count

[mommomrebecca]

K, Who else?? I've still got a few witty's in my tired brain...

[Susan_WW]

OK I must be clueless then...where can I see how many reputation points I have? I looked in my user cp but I don't see it??

[JustLookin]

you see how many have been left on your usercp page, some will have comments and some wont
you can see how many points you have to give by clicking on the scale.

I assume if you are subscribed to any threads it would be located under those.

[Susan_WW]

OK, I see it now, I guess I just didn't have any before :)

[mhurst]

why are some rep "buttons" green and other not even when both people have some rep?

Do the green buttons signify that there was a comment left?

Curious minds want to know:roll

Does Tom Cruise have ppd? :balloon

[MommyMade]

Bummer - JUST when I was getting some K --- bam.back to a big fat ZERO!!!!!

[MommyMade]

OK - I must be clueless - MINE say a 1, but I cant find anywhere that say WHY I have a 1 :) HELLPPP - when I click User CP - I see nothing

[mamapez]

Aha! I found y'all. I didn't see anything in the FAQ, and figured I would need to find a post from someone else as curious as me. :)

So does that mean we can't give Karma once an hour? We have to have 100 posts first?

[Loralyn]

:roll :crud: :hmm :? :ribbit :x :lol: :chin :whip :beam
I'm confused, but with all the explanation, I think being confused is just fine :p.

p.s. love the new smilies.

[Nada]

Teehee, this is FUN! :D

[Nada]

How come some are green and some are grey???

[pmcgary]

Does Tom Cruise have ppd? :balloon
8) not that I am aware of - but you know he probably takes vitamins and gets exercise......

Oh and I suppose there is that small detail of not having GIVEN BIRTH!

[pmcgary]

How come some are green and some are grey???

I don't know but it is cool to scroll over them and read the comment that pops up.....Oh yes something else to distract me from my 'real' work..

[Nada]

:( It says I'm off the scale. :( Is it possible I have negative reputation???

[Jewel]

I can't figure this out for the life of me, but of course it does not take much to confuse me.

[pamelamama]

I Changed the reputation button to the little fluffy! Now we can give good karma fluffies instead of the scale of reputation judgement!! lol

If you have a different icon suggestion, LMK!!

[marnie]

cute!

Did you change it back?

[JustLookin]

I like fluffy!

[pamelamama]

Do you see the scale or fluffy?

[CraftyMommaOf2]

i love the fluffy!

[mhurst]

Do you see the scale or fluffy?

Now I see fluffy. I saw fluffy first thing this morning (5:30 am est), then later in the day it was the scale and now back to fluffy.

You and Michelle are doing a great with the boards. Thank you so much:bighug

[pamelamama]

It's nice to be back... we're trying to get the usertitles, the usergroups and the banner thing squared away. :thumb :roll

Ah I just noticed that my user title changed...:kiss (I love all the new smilies!)

[pamelamama]

so, until you have reputation, your square is black. the more reputation you have, the more green squares you have.

it should show your reputation points, don't know why that isn't there.

No one has negative reputation!~

[Quinlonsma]

OK... I don't get it, but it ain't stoppin me from tryin' ;)

[Ruth]

Don't think the rep button is working properly, JMO's rep hasn't increased since I tried to give her some yesterday.

[eden/averymum]

bah! I was going nuts reading this and wondering why I couldn't find the scale. but it's fluufy now. I get it. :)

[dmfoote]

Okay, I went into my USER CP and I didn't see anything related to rep or rep power anywhere in there, yet I apparently do have some according to my information when I post. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?! :)

[newmommy04]

ahhhhhh interesting, I must go spend my reputation-altering power :count

:LOL This made me laugh! Thanks! :love

There, now you have more!!! :mwah
Go to User CP, and scroll down. Below the New Subscribed Threads section should be a Latest Reputation Received section. Do you see it?

LOL! Thanks! Yeah I know where it is now - probably should've updated that a bit - Pamela gave me some last night with comments so that I could see it. I just didn't have any comments before that.

[theresa88]

Now I am confused. I see no bar to click on??? Am I the only one? I only see the green squares???

[theresa88]

Nevermind.....I figured it out!!

[theresa88]

OK, Now I am back to being confused!! I keep clicking on the fluffy and I am getting nowhere!! HELP!!

[mamapez]

Are you clicking on the fluffy for someone else? I don't think you are allowed to give yourself more reputation. Also, if click someone else to soon after last giving them reputation, it won't let you leave more.

[theresa88]

I am trying to leave rep for someone else. I am going to try again!!

[theresa88]

Got it!!
