I have activated the Reputation feature. There is a small badge under each post that allows you to approve or disapprove posts. You may use this feature when you find it fair to affect the reputation of other users.
You must have 50 posts before you can approve/disapprove the posts of other people.
Reasons to Approve posts (add points):
Helped me
Made me smile
Answered my question in full
Reasons to Disapprove posts (deduct points):
Aggressive post
Bigoted attitude
Offensive joke
Etc
I approve (articles 1 and 2).
Good feature! Kinda like "karma".
Is there any way to see who and why approved or disapproved my posts? I was unable to find this information though I know that vBulletin has this feature. On other forums the list of reputation changes is available in user's control panel.
It's explained in FAQ MasterRussian.NET FAQ
How do I know what reputation I have received?
You can view the reputation that you have received in your User CP (User Control Panel) where it is displayed at the bottom of the User CP page. Here you will see the latest reputation that you have received and whether this is positive, negative or neutral. Your total reputation will be shown as series of reputation indicators in your posts and profile. The more positive your reputation, the more positive icons will be shown. The more negative your reputation the more negative icons will be shown.
Maybe it's a dumb question but where is the link to User CP? If it's in My Profile section then there isn't.
There's no such link in the Settings section either.
Well, I suspect that this is called 'Settings' but it doesn't show there. Presently I see my Rep Power to be 8 and I wonder where did it come from?
I have come across a similar feature in another forum, but most people don't really understand how it works, or simply give max points to whoever makes a political or religious comment that they agree with.Quote:

In a way it's nice to be able to vote anonymously for a post but on the other hand it could be nice to know whether who disagrees or approves with what you are saying.....
PS - I like MasterAdmins "Yoda-like" Thank You message for giving positive feedback. Plus I have finally figured out your original nationality MA! There is one too many "the" in your post ;-) I thought you were American, lol!

Your are correct, here is the link, yet I don't see it where it says it will be:Quote:

Well it isn't displayed for me (((
The CP link http://masterrussian.net/usercp.php Does it show any Reputation rewards for you?
I see Hana gave me a point saying "Yes that was interesting (just testing the feature)"
The internal comments may be funny when running political debates :)
I'm also thinking of adding another feature where users can thank, like and dislike posts and this activity will be for everyone to see.
The basis is one point up or down. But Rep Power is awarded more from more experienced and loyal users. Here's a breakdown we have at the moment:
- For every 1095 number of days, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power (I had to set this high because we have users who registered looooong time ago)
- For every 1000 number of posts, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power
- For every 100 points of reputation, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power
- A user have 50 points before his/her reputation hits count on others
- How many reputation clicks can a user give over each 24 hour period: 10
- How many different users must you give reputation to before you can hit the same person again: 5

Nope, just User Notifications and SubscriptionsQuote:

Ramil has the highest reputation of anyone, even higher than MasterAdmin!
I think people could get rewards for improving their language skills in Russian and English too!
It's probably hard to implement a feature for that, but it sure would be nice recognition.
I have noticed that some Russian people have improved their English over the time that I have been a member.
Likewise I have improved my Russian!:)
An established and reputable user rewards more points compared to a novice. If I award someone points it will be 5-8 points vs. 1 point from a new user. I could set any amount of points for myself but I don't mind following the same rules as everybody does. After all, my role includes administration and that can't be measured by Rep Power :)
Also, you should now be able to see who awarded the points and what comments they left. I activated that feature.
Not completely related, but I was thinking about how reputation then gets related to what the majority opinion is. That leads on to something else: I am curious of the stats are for this site!
Are you able to say anything about it? I mean, are most visitors, from North America, Russia, CIS countries.... Europe... or elsewhere...?
I don't have this too.Quote:

Your actual Reputation can be seen when you hover a mouse over grey/green/red bar under your username http://masterrussian.net/images/repu...tation_pos.png. The number of green/red bars also reflects your reputation level.
The reputation of all members can be seen in the Members List Member List - MasterRussian.NET
As you gain and lose reputation, you are associated with a moniker that describes your current level. These levels are:
< -50 - User is infamous around these parts
-50 - User can only hope to improve
-10 - User has a little shameless behavior in the past
0 - User received little or no reputation points at this time
10 - User is on a distinguished road
50 - User will become famous soon enough
150 - User has a spectacular aura about
250 - User is a jewel in the rough
350 - User is just really nice
450 - User is a glorious beacon of light
550 - User is a name known to all
650 - User is a splendid one to behold
1000 - User has much to be proud of
1500 - User has a brilliant future
2000 - User has a reputation beyond repute
Also, if you don't see reputation in User CP it means you haven't received any Rep yet!!!
Maybe you guys should give each other some Rep points and comment them as "test". This way you'll be able to see the rewards in your CP.
I will then remove all "test" reputations after you've become familiar with how things look in your User CP.
Oh, ok. I understood. Rep power and reputation are not the same things.
Я сейчас апрувнул один пост Рамиля. Пусть посмотрит, изменилось ли что-нибудь у него в Control Panel. И мне кто-нибудь апрувните для пробы! :)
OK :)Quote:

What's up with that MasterAdmin? We can't give props to someone more than once without giving props to others in between or what? That's not fair.:cry: How many other props do I need to give out before I can "thank" this person again?Quote:
You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to **** again.
You should be able to go for thank-you streak now :)Quote:

It is like two intuitive pictures like "thumb up" and "thumb down" with "I like this post" and "I dislike this post" balloon hints plus intelligible "This post is approved X times and disapproved Y times" line which can be understood even by a newbie or occasional reader.
Reputation power of the user can go as a sum of all his posts RP as a bonus :).
The problem is that good comments often goes along with some muddled and plainly wrong replies. Sometimes I have nothing to add to replies but I want to agree to one post and disagree to another and not to make flood of comments.
Thumb up.Quote:

You did add reputation to my message about the map not being the territory, I can see that in my settings, but the reputation value as such still is still in the "little to no" range. And the reputation power is not an indication of reputation but of the reputation one gives, based on how much presence a person shows on the forum by posting - if I understood it correctly; I haven't looked too deeply into it as we've agreed on our German language forum not to use that feature at all, and I actually only know forums with rating and reputation functionality which never gets used at all in any useful fashion.
These green rectangles are added per every 100 rep points (at least this is what I've seen on other forums). If it's only 2-3 points nothing will change. Rep power tells you how much rep points will be added to someone you added rep to, it's not your reputation.
Ah! I understand now. Wouldn't it make more sense to show the actual reputation of a poster in the mini-profile, and the rep power only displayed in the full profile?
EDIT: oh wait, is reputation displayed by the little green bars in the mini-profile after the poster rank? If so, how does one check one's actual reputation value? I can't see anywhere in either my profile or my settings...
Hover the cursor over the green bars to read the message. For example, Ramil has one green bar and it reads "Ramil is on a distinguished road".
This forum has less reward for the number of posts because it's existed for several years but reputation system has just started recently. Some users have too many posts at once.
