-PHXN- New001 Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 For the applaud and smite, is that solely for reputation purposes or will we offer rewards/make it a requirement for promotions?Cause i just looked at mine and was supprised that i even had anything I'd left Koby and Nutz one, but i didn't know anyone else was doing them.

Koby Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Who is smiting you? You have -2? O.oHmm.. Its a feature of SMF, it's called "Karma". Though I wish it were more like the Rep system of IPB in which tells you who gave you a rep and the reason for doing so because then it's more reliable. I'll check into seeing if there is some way of doing just that.There COULD be prizes in the future... but I just don't know what would be good to give.

Riku Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Oh I had no idea about them. Didnt know what they meant until you just said something about them.Well thanks for answering that question. Prizes would be nice for the future of course.Well I got +1 Karma so I must have done something right for someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-PHXN- New001 Posted December 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Same, Yah I'm used to the Rep system on IPBs where you got a PM of who gave it to you, But the problem is it than becomes of a currency type of thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VincentsLucrecia Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 Yeah, I have +1 Karma, so I must have done something right for someone. xDI think it would be cool to give prizes, but some people get around more on the forums than others. :DThat way, they'd have more good Karma, and stuff.

Tidus Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 Noone has done any for me. lol I applaud people and I think i accidently smited someone. (sorry [PHXN] New001) But I think if the applauds and smites cancelled each other out, it would make it better. Better rep, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
//Cloud//Strife// Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 I think at the moment it probably won't be much use, but give it a few months and new members will be able to see who is respected and who's a bit dodgy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-PHXN- New001 Posted December 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 Hmm thats deffinatly true, so its not a perfect system, but its a good one for the site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
†Emotional Outlet Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 new members will be able to see who is respected and who's a bit dodgy It's always been my experience that things like this always turn out to be a popularity/pity contest. I haven't seen it yet here, but I'm sure at some point someone's going to complain about not getting applauded enough, or how mean people keep smiting them...Can't really know a person by what others say, especially if you make no effort of your own to know the person yourself to see if the rumours are true or not, to see if maybe their negative reputation has more to do with personal differences than anything objective.But that just might be me, since I tend to make wretched first impressions and make no effort to do anything about the lovely things being said about me.

Koby Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 I'm probally going to disable it, seems kind of useless at the moment, and peoples being applauded and smited for no reason at all. Not really much of a rep system eh? I wish it could give descriptions as to why they were smited or aplauded, etc.. to make the counts more reliable.

VincentsLucrecia Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 Yeah, I've now been smited twice, and I don't think I'm that evil... I think others might be smited just because someone is bored. That's how this whole rep thing can get out of hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
†Emotional Outlet Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 Gosh, it reminds me of the benes system from the official BBS of the Sims 2. Evil, evil thing. Most people never gave benes to people who were actually helpful, but rather for their friends or people who agreed with them on some inane argument. It was also used as a bribe to get people to help them, or to lean their way in a debate. Icky.VL, ur nto evil so imma applad u, k??/????/ :D:D:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-PHXN- New001 Posted December 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 Yah I think it would be like alot better if the system incorporated reasoning like Koby said. That people wouldnt just spam it I have the second highest applaud and the highest smite XD wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentsLucrecia Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Wow, someone is just taking it out on you, PN. xDBut really, I agree with the both of you. Having a reason will make these things legitimate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidus Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 If you could just have a area were it gave a reason to why they were smited or applauded, it would be much better. I have neither been applauded or smited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
†Emotional Outlet Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Eee, could your signature be any larger? What could probably be done is a little read-only, editable by staff only section of the forum where they can post reasons for people's reputation fluctuations (that rhymes! Name the section that ;D). That way the people who applaud/smite are still anonymous, but you still get reasons why. Of course, we would have to trust that the staff keep these people anonymous, since people who applaud/smite will have to send one of them a PM with the name of the member they applauded/smote and their reason for doing so. And, again, trust would have to be placed into the person doing the rating in that they would tell the truth for why they have done what they have done, and did not come up with a BS reason for adjusting a person's reputation for inane reasons.It probably could be done privately, but since the reputation thing is public and this is about how people perceive them, it would be helpful to see why the person is being rated the way they are.And this is assuming that a system similar to how warnings used to work can't be done (only you and the staff can see your warning level and your warning history with reasons).

-PHXN- New001 Posted December 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Yah but thats also assuming that they will post why they Applaudded/Smote??? them.I have a feeling some of my smites where just cause they were bored XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
