*The Rep Thread*

[Ozzie]

There are alot of threads about the reputation points system on JC.

This is just a friendly reminder about giving out reputation to people who give good information to anyone in need of help.

If you do recieve good advice from a JC member in one of the many threads on JC and you have been a JC member for 3 months, Please feel free to give a little in return by repping the person/people who kindly give out the helpful info.

I am one of those people who check peoples reputation status and decide weather or not that person is a "tool"
People with reputation under "Exuctive" for example are more than likely a tool.
Where say advice given from a person with a "GTO" status has obviously deserved the points given to them and I would be glad to use their advise.

Everyone seems to neglect the rep system lately so I hope this thread helps to spread it around some more

Oh trust me, people aren't neglecting the rep system, its being abused more than ever for pointless rep's.

I'd rather see it gone and see the thanks system come back in.

i received feedback for a how to thread but its only a little grey box. How can someone give neutral rep? Looks like a mod has changed it for something.

Seems like an idea. Should get onto Darren about it.
And yes lately it has been getting abused. People who abuse the system should have that privilege taken from them.

I'm not as up date with all the rep stuff as I used to be but I think grey square indicates that it was rep left by a person with no reputation power, so it won't change your rep status either way. It certainly wasn't a mod screwing around with it, I have a few grey squares myself

I don't take the rep system seriously, it means diddly squat so many members abuse it, if you guys could read 90% of the rep people leave u would know what I am talking about:whistling:

To true

The rep system is a good idea, BUT I really dont think its used practically.

Majority of my Positive rep is from posting something funny, I cant remember the last time I got rep for a technical post.

All my negative rep is either from someone who held a grudge, or from someone who didnt get my sense of humour. I can only remember one neg rep i got for a technical post, and it was me asking a question and I got neg repped for it lol.

Maybe it could become like the post counter, and only applicable to be given in the technical parts and not the pub/jokes section?

Its basically like visible reputation, except under a post it will say "user/s thanks you for this post" etc.
