Hi,

there might be a few guys asked the question already... but anyone could let my doubt free here

i were in forum... left hand side... under the name who reply to the thread... i found both red and green scale... i know its scale would be vary based on the amount of comment entries... how different between red and green ones? or even someone gets grey one.

some are premium member but some get red....some get green... and various description... ie

- ..... is on a distinguished road

- ...... will become famous soon enough

- ..... is a jewel in the rough

etc.

so.... how many of description to all??? how to classify?

some got different names ie.

- Barry white of TF for Japamerican (he also gets hight amount of red scale with "Japamerican is infamous around these parts")

- Gossip Channeler for iBatch (he gets red scale and description same as Japamerican")

etc.

is there anything special?

thank you for any answer

ps. i would like to insert pix... how can i do??? and what are those (5) tags for? maybe i'm tooold to catch up new version of TF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is reputation?

Reputation is a way of rating users depending on the quality of their posts. If the administrators have enabled reputation, then the reputation icon will be visible in posts.

Reputation may be positive , negative or neutral . Negative reputation may only be given if the administrator has enabled this. Neutral reputation is only given when the person giving reputation does not meet the criteria set by the administrator to affect someone else's reputation.

How do I give reputation?

To give reputation, click on the reputation icon in the relevant post. This will reveal a form to complete with the reputation type and the reason for giving the reputation. If negative reputation is disabled then it will not be displayed in this form. You may not give reputation for the same post twice.

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.

How much reputation is given? What is reputation power?

If the administrator has enabled this, the amount of reputation that each user will give (or take away if negative) is shown in the user's posts as 'Reputation Power'. The value of the reputation power is determined by the administrator and may increase over time depending on the settings they have applied.

What if I don't want anyone to see my reputation?

You can disable the display of your reputation by going to your User CP and selecting Edit Options. On this page you will find a check box labelled 'Show Your Reputation Level'. Un-checking this box will remove the display of your reputation and replace it with the Reputation Disabled icon. You can still give and receive reputation while your reputation display is disabled.

I think this is what you were looking for.

emm...m...mmm....

thank you... Fu_ky

And it was not set up perfectly in the beginning. Some posters were able to make someone deeeep in the red by just clicking once.

Over time I think users will start to rate more often, and the the system will prove to be a good one. However, that will take at least towards the end of the year.

(When someone posts in the forums, you will see a badge below their post. You will be able to vote positively on their post if you feel it was a quality post).

The disable feature doesn't work though.....lolol, and it doesn't update your rep power acurately.

AAAum...Grrrr :-)

Disabling works too well actually. What doesn't work in your mind about both features?

now iBatch has a mangina!

The red / green bars under your avartar is the level of your nastiness and aggression of your comments giving toward admin ))
