User Reputation feature has been enabled in the forum

I just noticed that you can sort by reputation in the members list. That doesn't matter right now, but it might be interesting later.

How well this feature works out is completely based on the users of the message board. I've seen forums that use it well and I've seen forums that abuse it horribly in a bad way. I've seen some forums remove the feature because people were always bitching and moaning about their reputation count, instead they only let you see the post count.

I think it'll be a fun little feature for the board, because I don't see a lot of idiots around.

Take the person who posted me above for example: They have 109 posts in about 3 years. Someone could be here for a year and only have 30 posts. They would have a rep point for the year, but not be able to use it because of the min post count.

This includes negative rep as well, if someone makes remarks that should be rightfully negatively rep'ped, and no one with a sufficient post count sees it, it wouldn't matter if they "disapproved" the person or not.

[/theoretical scenarios]

FULL DISCLOSURE: Someone with 21 posts rep'ed me. Obviously it didn't count and I wanted to say something about it. =P

In other news, this.

You can't leave rep for the same post twice, but you can leave rep for a post someone else has repped. Hell, Lagore repped 20ish people in a span of 2 hours the moment he found out and learned how to use the system.

However, just because this is how it is doesn't mean you should abuse it. Please continue to only leave rep for deserving posts. =)

the fact that you said Lagore, and learnt made me laugh!

I think there needs to be a notification letter or something, I just found out I have 3 reps from people from a couple days ago and also today.

And I also agree that the more bars should have a lower requirement.

Just check your User CP every couple of days, and you'll keep more or less up to date. I think that notifications would get a bit annoying after a while.

Most of you are, most.

At least people haven't stooped to posting posts for the explicit purpose of garnering reps (nor have they asked for it). At least not that I've noticed . . . yet . . .
