Zero rep?

ceestyle · #1 06-24-2008, 03:02 PM

So the new system is such that some users can give rep of zero value? I have a few reps that gave me nothing.

and 30 other users is a lot before being able to rep them again! some people consistently give good advice. they get penalized by that for sure.

if you look in the stickies there is a section that shows you how rep is calculated

Maybe it depends on where the rep was added, yeah? For instance, reps added to you for a post in Toke n Talk probably shouldn't really add anything to your points.

Just a thought.

(coughcough) It's getting God damned smoky. (Cali fires)

this no points is happening to me also and all my threads or posts are in the same correct sections. noobie , cabinets, plant problems ...... ect. the last one was this morning, i had 40 yesterday, buddy gave me one this morning and it`s still 40. and there are others. not a big deal just thought you should know about it.

yeah, i understand more rep = more rep, but it seems there should be a minimum of 1 point. it's not like i'm going to go create a user name to give myself one rep point.

I will be looking into reputation system this week. I agree it needs to be reworked.

Crazy, Ive been noticing the same thing but didnt think too much of it since I wasnt sure how it calculated. I have noticed some get 0 points then rep from say a mod is lots of points.

Thanks abudsmoker for the stickie info!

Seems to me points are used to decide how much faith to put into someone you don't knows advice/recommendation. It's always nice to think ones time spent doling out free advice is worthwhile and with rep points, it's like an acknowledgment that JoeDoe knows that what he's telling you to do will/should work.
