    Question Poster Reputations

    As a lot of you know, VBulletin has a lot of snazzy little add-ons to spice up a messageboard. One of those is a reputation system which allows you reprobates to give positive and negative reputation points to other posters. Over time, this will give a true overview of the board posters, which might be particularly useful to newbies.

    To date, I haven't turned that option on, but I have kicked it around for a bit and have the green light if I want to. Question is, do I?

    So, I figured I'd see what the board thinks? If I get an overwhelming positive reponse, I might go ahead and do it. There are enough safeguards in there to keep someone from abusing it if they don't particularly like someone. If I do activate it, keep in mind that it can always be deactivated at any time if it starts causing issues.

    So, what do you guys think? You want it? Don't want it? Don't care? Think Bill and Opus should reform the Meadownik party and run for president in 3 weeks?

    Activate it please.
    What's a reputation?
    You want to know WHAT I think?
    Does that mean I have to have thoughts to think?
    Or just think my thoughts and that is what I think?
    Is it good to smell smoke when you're trying to think?
    Is that just like burning the dust of a heater smell?



    Seriously though:

    If it can be abused, it will be. Bottom Line. Do what you're gonna do. We will just have to get used to it or move on.

    Actually, the ability to abuse it is pretty slim. There are a lot of safeguards in place to keep that from happening. I wouldn't turn it on if there wasn't.

    I could disagree with that statement. Most people hate me during my first encounter with them, and eventually they realize that I am always right. I can see it being used as a "retaliation" tool. Everyone has something positive to contribute at some point in time, even if they haven't done so in the past. Personally, I won't use it. I don't feel the need to rate people.

    It doesn't matter to me. I am an avid fan of CAD and opine from reading what is posted rather than would conjecture from how many green squares they have.

    Actually, Rev, I'm thinking it could turn out to be fun. Who else wouldn't want titles like:

    User is off the chart in the wrong direction and is probably guilty of multiple felonies.

    User is nearly as bad as it gets.

    User makes Charles Manson look like the Pope.

    User is on the fast track to hell.

    But I'm always on the fast track to hell, so that point is moot.

    Are those really options for reputations?

    Is there a..

    User is being a blunt _unt right now, so now isn't a really good time to bother her.


    That could come in handy once a month for me, shoot I will even post the week in advance if it will help out a newbie..

    PS
    Directed at me,
    Im sure some would agree.

    I have moments of peace
    and moments of alarm

    If you mess with me
    it may cause harm.

    Take your chances
    roll the dice

    If you get "but hurt"
    sorry I don't play nice.


    I'm a poet too!!!
    I really need to lay off the cold medicine.
    I am hyper enough normally.

    I'm not yet completely sold on using it yet, but if I do, it'll be very light hearted. The way I have it set up so far is that long time posters will carry more weight than newbie posters and you cannot multi-hit a poster. You have to have, at this point, 20 other poster hits before you can hit a poster for a 2nd time and I can change that to whatever I want. So there's no worries about getting gang-banged by anyone and suddenly ending up with a bad rep. And even if the rep is bad, it'll still be part of the funny pages. I guess my biggest reason for considering it is just to liven things up a bit and take advantage of some of the bells and whistles that v-bulletin has. I added the smilies last night, which colors the board a bit more. If I do this, it'll be for the same reason...fun. In the end, this is still just a messageboard and should be just that...fun.

    Hmmmm. Well, I reckon it couldnt really hurt anything. Maybe turn it on for a while, and see what happens. I'm not sure if I quite understand how it all works, but oh well.
