Jack McKalling Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I have seen some Invision Power Boards with reputation systems, and I like it.Couldn't we have one too, to let posters add a special thank to their helpers in the form of a reputation point with comment? It would be nice, its not necessary. But with it we can view the best coders, nicest coders, or best helpers or whatever you name it. Besides, with these special thanks, the helpers on our forum can recieve a bit of extra energy to help even more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspnetguy Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 does it allow you to take away points if they are spamming or something dumb like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack McKalling Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 I don't know, should, but maybe only by administrator, possibly also moderator :)But I don't have such system, the admin should get one, I don't know sht, lol :)The system I saw was fully customisable thats for sure.

aspnetguy Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 do you know if it is a module for IPB or was it custom built by the other site?Also if it is a module is it free...if it is not free then there is your answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack McKalling Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 I think it was a special mod, but specially for IPB at least.I'll have a look again, you can too, here:http://www.dhost.info/forumsI am actually not sure if it is free, but Dhost itself is a free commercial service definately. They host for free, so maybe this mod was too? I'll ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspnetguy Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 if it was custom built be dhost then the answer is no...they are running IPB 1.3.1. Modules for 1.3.x are not compatible with 2.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack McKalling Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 But they might know where to get such system, and the location where it can be found probably contains an updated one for our version :)Of cource we should only consider compatible versions and free ones too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack McKalling Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 Is that version compatible with our board? And to the mods, is this a good idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reportingsjr Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Lol justsomeguy.. Compatibility: Invision Power Board v2.1 its compatible.. now we just need one of the admins to get on -.-.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack McKalling Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 Glad you like the idea :)Hope Kajim likes it too so he would install it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notclive Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I like that idea but i hope people dont get to competitive trying to help out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack McKalling Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 Correct, I hope so too. But then again, restrictions could limit the reputations, if restrictions are possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notclive Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 i read the page about the mod/hack whatever it is (whats the difference?) and it said you could change how many rep points could be awarded, and you cant only give to one person so it should be cheat proof Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joecoolaug Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I would undoubtedly have a low reputation -- for posting pointless posts. I like the idea; though, for people who are actually helpful.I guess it would help the mods by helping them know who to keep an eye on... maybe not, I don't know.I like that idea but i hope people dont get to competitive trying to help out.Well, we've already got the post count system or whatever it's called that encourages spamming. I don't think a reputation system would increase competitivity (I think I just made up a word) between people, and therefore spamming. I might be wrong, though.

Jack McKalling Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 @joecoolaug: side note, the post count is standard at the board :)Just a wild guess, are you from Holland too? I've seen some dutch words somewhere, and the same typos I make (like "of" instead of "or") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moridin Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I think that reputation will increase the willingness to help on some level. After all "spam help" gets negative reputation. It is like a permanent, vieable record of the actions of members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack McKalling Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 I don't think this increase in spam attractation is significant. There will always be the chance that there will be spammers, even this forum itself causes that. So why not throw a little system in it to increase the thanks coders get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 One could always thank someone in the signature though..? I never liked the idea of ranks on the forum, which it sort of would create, however discreetly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack McKalling Posted August 19, 2006 Author Share Posted August 19, 2006 We could make a vote, couldn't we? Shall I attach a poll? (how can I actually?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moridin Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 We could make a vote, couldn't we? Shall I attach a poll? (how can I actually?)by editing your initial post and going "Click here to manage this topic's poll" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack McKalling Posted August 19, 2006 Author Share Posted August 19, 2006 Looked for that already, but not finding it :)I guess that's only the first time you edit that post (namely, posting it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcole.ath.cx Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 It's not used as spamming in other forums since people have to give it to you if they want to... it will reduce spam if there is a subtracting one!Also about what Jonas said, if you have a bar where it shows a general number... not like "Karma is 43" then the system wouldn't be so ranked. Like how other forums have post rank (newbie, average, adavnced, kink poster, crazy poster, nerd..) where it just show what general group you fit into.
