Your HSers REPUTATION And You
**Note that as of 14 October 2009, updates to the Rep System have outdated this thread. Please direct your comments and inquiries to the New Reputation Thread instead.**
Our new home here in the vBulletin format brings with it a new "Reputation" system. Many users have asked what exactly this is and how it works, so here is the low-down... 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. With the transition to the new vBulletin site, all members are starting 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 'cards' in the member's titlebar will become brighter green, or more cards will be added, making it easy to spot community 'pillars' visually. 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 cards 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 cards accordingly. Members with a negative total reputation will display rep cards that are red instead of green. These members should take red cards 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? ( ) 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:
...Oh and one last bit, as TOG helped me to discover: The easiest way to see your own reputation, ...OR see all the docks or boons one of your own posts has received, ...is to click the Rep Button ( ) on one of your own posts. ...Your current Reputation Total, and all of your boons and docks for that post will be conveniently displayed. ^_^ -Your Administrators- ...Experience the Curse...
