Reputation bug

[project anthrax]

hey guys I'm not trying to make more work for you but I think this is important. Alright so as we all know reputation is a big part of mmowned, the more rep you have the more famous you get, anyways I know that you have to have a certain amount of posts to make the system active; 10 or 15 to be exact however many newbies don't know that and try to send reputation but it doesn't process even after they get up in their ranks. So I was wondering why not just let the reputation count that they give us. Or even have mmowned give them a message which says they cannot give reputation yet.

just my input thank you to all the staff your doing a great job!

I've been wondering this as well.

that would lead to mass account creations & spam repping without having to post =/

[Unholyshaman]

As Sneakylemons said, there is then nothing stoping people from making accounts over and over again (keep in mind we CAN track when multiple accounts log in on the same IP) but it just becomes more work for us.

Plus they should make an effort to contribute to MMOwned before they can rep others for their contribution (10 posts honestly isn't much...)

[project anthrax]

yeah but you could always just add that little message then

Ye, exactly, and you CAN give rep with 1 posts, but you gotta be a member for 1 month or more.

yeah the point im trying to get at is not the spamming of rep just like regulating it so once they reach that point the idle rep you get in the rep record box becomes active or just to make an error appear saying you cant give rep


< thats what I mean by idle rep

[stoneharry]

Idle rep still shows you appreciate whatever you are repping, even if you can't give any reputation. Also sometimes people want to leave a comment without actually giving any reputation.

idle rep is just idle rep lol and no need to flame im not talking about hogging rep its fine if people comment im talking about an actual bug

I wasn't flaming... I was pointing out that if you make it so that they can not give 0 reputation and instead they get an error, they can't show there support. Also there are users that come here that have never used a reputation system before on a forum, in which case they will want to be able to use this button first time instead of getting a big fat thing saying no you can't do that because if they do it's likely they won't try that again. Anyway see my previous post as to the other points.

You should not make something just for rep, the 'idle' rep should be just as enough as a normal one as it shows that someone apreicated your contribution. That what your doing is contributing not rep whoring to gain access to other sections.

[project anthrax]

im only saying it should count once they have the correct privileges or to let them know what the requirements are

[7itanium]

yep.. I dont see this as being necessary
this tells me that people are posting things purely to get rep.

when I post something, a simple thank you means just as much if not more than someone clicking the +rep button

[project anthrax]

not really...I'm pointing out something I thought mattered I'm just saying whats everyone's problem im not a repwhore this is a suggestion box im suggesting get over it..
