Re: Reputation system

So who decides whether or not the negative stuff is fair or not, because it will happen sooner or later.

It's gonna be a guy's word against another guy's word unless you have proof.
You start getting into a rating system, and sooner or later somebody is going to have to regulate it.

Just sayin'.

In an effort to encourage helpful and positive interaction between forum members, we've devised a plan to use an added feature to the forum called "Street Cred". Each forum member has this description and their total rep underneath their username. To the side of other people's posts, there are +/- buttons. Whenever a forum member give you some useful advise or they do some good deed that helps you out you can push + and the helpful person's "Street Cred" will go up by one point. The - button is supposed to be used merely if someone gives false information or a bad post (ex. - Telling someone to use gasket sealer on a carburetor). Merely disputing with someone or disagreeing on certain methods ARE NOT reasons to use this button. Everyone has their own opinion.

Not only is this a reward from you to them for helping out this number can serve as a guide to people as to how good a person's information is. Low numbers with a lot of post may mean the information is less valuable...... well.... maybe later on when we start getting street cred built up, lol. Embarassed

Seriously, how many times have you went on a forum searching for answers to find two entirely different answers, but you don't know who has the right one? How much information have you "learned" from the net only to find out it doesn't work or isn't true? Me personally, I'm old school & learned from books, schooling, & personal experience. Anymore, newbies just want a quick correct answer without researching.... the slackers, lol. Maybe this can help them feel more comfortable.

Thanks man. I get how it works...BUT...I do not see the +/- anywhere...

ok i see it now

by 74MonteCarlo Thu Apr 01, 2010 5:01 pm

I still see nothing... Neutral

by coreys73chevelle Thu Apr 01, 2010 5:20 pm

it only comes up when someone comments below you...so if it is not on THIS REPLY on the right side under the blue bars something is wrong

by The Dude Thu Apr 01, 2010 5:21 pm

I figured it out. The +/- will not show up UNTIL you have reached a level of Street Cred that allows you to vote. Over-simplified...... you gotta earn the right from your fellow members to add or take away reputation. Right now, the bar is set pretty low because no one has reputation points.

by 74MonteCarlo Thu Apr 01, 2010 7:17 pm

Whats the level that allows you to vote?
