Your REPUTATION and You (Pt.2)
Reputation is a measure of each member's general merit, esteem, trustworthyness, character, respect, and level of contribution to the site. Reputation is given to each HSers member by other HSers members. It is a 'community-mediated' system for helping to recognize and reward the members of our community that contribute the most to making it strong.
All new members start from the same 'baseline', so to speak, of 0 (zero) reputation. As members receive positive feedback, or rep boons, from other members, their Reputation will increase. As Reputation rises, the little 'order markers' in the member's titlebar will become brighter green or even yellow, or more cards will be added, making it easy to spot community members with high Rep. When Reputation reaches certain benchmark levels (see below), those members will be given new Reputation Titles, which display when the mouse is rolled over the reputation markers in the member's titlebar. If warranted, members can also receive negative feedback, or rep docks, for unhelpful posts, harrassing comments, spam, troll-feeding, flaming, violating forum policy, etc., which will reduce that member's Reputation and remove markers accordingly. Members with a negative total reputation will display rep markers that are red instead of green. These members should take red markers as a friendly warning that they should improve their behavior before they end up being ignored, ...or even banned. So how exactly does it work? Easy - see that little 'scale' icon near the top-right of each post? ( http://www.heroscapers.com/community...reputation.gif ) That's the Reputation button. When you see a post that deserves positive recognition (helping out a newbie, solid contribution to the site, clever, insightful, heartfelt, upstanding, etc.), just click that button. The default "I approve" button will be highlighted, and you can add a comment (if desired) and click "Add to Reputation" to give that member a rep boon and increase their Reputation. It's that easy. If a post is worthy of negative feedback (spam, flaming, unwarranted rudeness, etc.), Administrators and Site Supporters can also click the Reputation button, then select "I disapprove" before clicking "Add to reputation" to REDUCE that member's Reputation with a rep dock. (Note that this 'negative' option is only available to Site Supporters and Administrators.) The 'fine print' details of the system:

REP Rules and Regulations
To help regulate how the Rep System SHOULD and SHOULD NOT be used, we have instituted the following "Reputation System Code of Conduct":
THE RULES:
The administration will intermitently scan through recent Rep comments left throughout the site, and will fully review ALL Rep comments left by or for a specific member whenever it is deemed necessary or prudent. Such investigations may uncover infractions in the past which lead to punishment: there is NO "statute of limitations" on illegal rep behavior. In addition, any member who believes that an infraction of the above regulations has been committed can and should send their concerns and/or evidence in a PM to any Admin, and we will follow-up with a full investigation. For the first violation of any of the above regulations, an offending member will have HALF of their currnet Reputation permanently removed. If there is a subsequent second violation by that same member, their Reputation will be permanently reset to ZERO, and their ability to make Rep comments (give boons or docks) will be permanently removed. Repeated and/or severe abuses of the Reputation system may also be punishable by temporary or permanent BANNING from the site, solely at the descretion of the Administration. Please enjoy the Rep System and use it responsibly. Thank you. ^_^ -The Management- |
