I notice that my alter ego, Admin aka Charvaka has a reppytashun of 4, whereas I have diddly squat to my credit.

What should I do to get a reppytashun like his?? Score high in Indo's padakeli? Get a Bong wife? Become a consultant? What??

Simpal. Get peepal to vote your posts up. There is a + and a - sign to the right of every post. Every time someone gives you a +, your rep goes up by 1; every time you get a -, it goes down 1.

Blabberwock raised a very important question on another thread:

blabberwock wrote:Oddly, this reputation thing was one of the main reasons that caused issues at the other forum. I found that the administrator had the power to see who was doing the "plus" and minus" for himself (and others) and was constantly monitoring that. Also, since he could see the IP addresses, he used to know everything that everyone else was doing. It soon lead to a lot of issues and the admin and I turned adversaries. I felt very uncomfortable staying on that forum after that and left.
Hmm... that's worrisome. Perhaps I should disable it. The reason I enabled it was to allow people to vote posts up or down, and use that as a community-policing of bad posts. But if it ends up creating more issues than it solves, I am happy to remove it.

Others, please weigh in with your comments as well.

Since you and I were once a part of an alliance of antagonism, I will contribute towards building your "reputation".

LOL. Merci beau-coup. I discovered that clicking "merci" sends the poster's reppytashun to Charvaka-like levels.

Oh, yeah. Clicking merci is saying a personalized thank-you. It does give the target 3 rep points.

I think it depends on the maturity levels of the people concerned and how seriously they take their reputation. I think the feature is rather silly and don't really care either either way.

Unkil, with great power comes great responsibility. Use it wisely.

I know your IQ is high. But, I will at least make sure your reputation level is in single digit...Wink

Some might take this reputation thing seriously and start acting like big cheese (I can already think of 2 or 3 CHers).

Haha. Knowing the maturity levels of CHers (including myself), I am thinking of killing the feature. If anybody really likes it and wants to make a passionate case for bringing it back, please do so.

Let us agree to disable..

However, i would like to make it clear, that I would have received the maximum reputation points if only we had continued the system (and everyone else ZERO). (Can we give ourself a rating ? Also, how come I dont see the merci sympbol on my screen ?)

Look what you did with your loose talk of god-given power etc. Our godless Admin was offended and now we've all been disenfrachised.

Both are same. If I were not a maramandai, I would be running a Nityananda-ish Ashram.

Ladies and gentlemen, I have made the following adjustments to the reputation system:
  • Removed the display of reputations, so we don't get all hung up on those numbers.
  • Retained the + and - to help you report inappropriate posts (primarily, any NSFW content.)
  • Introduced new criteria for voting, as described below; the purpose of these criteria is to prevent newly created stalker / abuser handles from misusing the reputation system.
    • You need to have posted at least 10 posts before you can begin to vote. I will reset this to 100 in a week or so.
    • You can only cast 10 votes per day.
In addition to the + / -, there is also an exclamation mark in a triangle -- that will flag any offending content. I am leaving both open for now, as we figure out how things work.

Any questions, concerns or comments?

You can still vote on individual posts. You just can't see your total score, because that's kinda pointless for CH.
