Reputations!

[zokemon]

I'm am almost positive this has been brought up before but I think it is at an appropriate time to bring it up again.

There is a reputation system on these forums which are thoroughly explained here:
http://forums.graalonline.com/forums....php?p=1280690

I highly suggest everyone reads this. I personally had no idea how I had gray reputation marks in my "latest reputation received" (which I knew meant neutral) got there even though there was no "neutral" option when you gave reputation!

If you do read this you will notice that you can only give reputation if your own reputation is 5 or above! This means if we aren't spreading reputation around enough, a single person could remove some one's ability to give reputation by a single bad rep.

Another thing worth noting is the formula for your reputation power.

I calculated mine as so:
+1 ~ Base
+0 ~ 0 x 1000 reputation points (I have dismal reputation)
+6 ~ 6 years on my forum account
+0 ~ 0 x 4000 posts (4000 is quite a lot to get for a single point )

+7 Total
Rather amazing mine is +7 when all admins get a +10 default regardless. I guess if I manage 8000 posts and 2000 reputation points, I will be able to give more reputation then an admin .

May I make a few suggestions?
- Even if an admin were to give you all your reputation, they would need to give you positive rep 100 times in order to increase your reputation power even a single point. Maybe reduce this heave requirement?
- 4000 posts is a huge amount. It amazes me how I get 6 points from my account time but not a single point from my post count.
- Then gem count seems to be rather flawed. I think the most gems I have seen on a person was a measly two. Maybe reduce the rep/per gem ratio?
- People can only rep anyone once a day. If I go give Jim rep, I can't give Mary rep until the next day. This must be a glitch? Appended in edit

Anyways, just pointing this out in case Ziro's signature didn't already!

EDIT:
Oh my, Crono found out an aweful glitch. I appended it to the list! (Look above)

EDIT: I find it funny how you have 10 times as many posts as me but only 1 (or maybe 2, I don't know how many rep points you have) rep power over me.

I have exactly 136 rep points.

But I don't mind the way it is now, imagine if someone got too much rep and started abusing it.

I have 21 but that's fair: no-one knows who the heck I am .

My signature hasn't even worked once yet

And I am the reputation elf! I always spend my reputation once every 24 hours

Hehe
(But what the hell at the 24 hours thing? That should be on a single person not everyone)

I preferred the old system.

Agreed.

I dunno, I don't really think the rep system is used the way it's supposed to be used sometimes, even when it is used.

Anyways, in my CP it lists my rep's, what's the grey ones for? 'Cause I have two grey reps, that make no sense:

I said and it says it in the link I told everyone to read.

Gray rep means the person who gave it to you has less then 5 points and so it has no actual effect on you.

[sam_is_me]

I've got a whopping 10.
Whatever.

[xXziroXx]

39 point(s) total

[Tyhm]

The old system woulda been cooler if we could use it to make big war.

[Stephen]

I only have 30 pointses

[kia345]

I have 16, but no one knows me

[pooper200000]

15 but no one knows me.

[Inverness]

22 for myself.

[PrinceDark]

The rep limit should be increased to like 8 reps per day given out.

[zokemon]

Everyone seems to be giving me bad rep for making this thread...
Sorry for pointing things out to community? >_>

[MysticX2X]

[bahamutstevetff]

I guess so...
Luckily the negative rep'ers seem to have almost no rep power at all and were only removing 1 or 2 points each.

Thanks to the ******* who tries giving me neg rep saying "You had"
