Rep

Post by Donald » Wed Nov 07, 2012 9:29 pm

Several questions! All to do with rep. I understand what you have in place is to prevent it losing it's value, but suggestions can't hurt :?:


Is there any chance of the rep cooldown period being reduced?
Am I right in thinking it's 1 per hour at the moment? Sometimes in a really helpful thread you want to rep maybe 2 or 3 people for their info, yet you can't so you have to come back and do it again later, and often end up forgetting.


Is there any point at which you can increase the amount of rep you give?
So say if I had 500 rep I could choose either the standard 5 or input my own value up to the next threshold. An example could be:
<500 = rep power 5
501-750 = rep power 5-10
751-1000 = rep power 5-20


Maybe with higher rep the cooldown period can be reduced?


The spreading to another user thing. This is 5 different people before you can go back to person 1 again right? Often it's the same people giving good help/info and you can't always reward that because maybe 4 reps ago you did, so you end up doing a token rep for something you normally wouldn't. Maybe a reduction to 3 would be good?

Some good suggestions there sir! I agree with the cool down on the rep, it's happened quite a few time where I've wanted to rep someone helpful but because they've been helpful recently I can't

Ok chaps:
  • No longer any cooldown period
  • Reputation spread is still 5 people
  • 200 rep points = 1 block under your avatar
  • You gain 1 extra point to bandy around for every 5 points you receive
  • You gain 1 extra point to bandy around for every 100 posts you make
  • Based on the above, max givable rep is 30 points
  • Max rep power is 10,000 points
  • Min rep power is -5,000 points
  • Posts made in the NSFW area count for diddly squat

Maybe a cause for negative rep then, for breaking the rep system?!
