Reputation Explained

[SALvation]

Since some of you have been wondering what reputation is, here is the explanation from VB's site:

vBulletin's user reputation system provides a way of rating users based on the quality of their posts. Users on your forums can add or subtract reputation points from other users by clicking the reputation link in their posts. You can set restrictions on the giving and taking away of reputation points by users in your vBulletin options.

User reputations allow the users in your community to tell vBulletin which users are quality and which users are not. And in response to user feedback, vBulletin has the ability to label and reward users for the quality of their posts, as is indicated by their reputation.

You can label quality users by defining reputation levels in the User Reputation Manager. User reputation levels work very similar to user titles and user ranks in that they are an indicator of status that are displayed next to names in posts.

You can reward quality users by creating promotions on the Promotions page. Promotions are used to change a user's group memberships when they meet certain conditions, one of which can be their reputation level. Because forum permissions can be controlled with group memberships, a user's reputation in conjunction with promotions can be used to control a user's forum permissions. And so by using a combination of user reputations, promotions, and group permissions, you can enable your community to reward and punish good and bad posters on your forums.

hey sal, does this reputation thingy work? I see that some have added to my rep, but it always remains at 0 (and has from prior days also...) should't this change? (for good or bad.... :D) I could understand it balancing out... but it shouldn't always be at 0....

[Sepra]

[solid snake295]

where did you find that 'latest reputation' thing?

Is there a way to view all comments given to you? I see a comment on one post in a thread I made out of two. I guess what I'm trying to say is.......sometimes I make multiple posts in a day. How do I find out if someone commented or not without going back to each one and checking?

[JIMINATOR]

in user cp it gives the last few reputation posts...
also if you click on your dishrag per post you get the comments....

Jiminator, how did you get to that, reputation listing? :confused:

[JIMINATOR]

just click on user cp on the top left, should be towards the bottom right...

[Thundarr]

just click on user cp on the top left, should be towards the bottom right...

Got it! I had been there before, just thought it was a bigger section for some reason.... :o

[MR. SLiK]

ive checked bottom right after clicking user cp, i still dont see anything pertaining to reputation.

[Slice]

I also see nothing about that in the right hand corner....

I think that an admin has to enable it for the memeber group you are a part of or something and not everyone has been enabled.

[EXEcution]

Do we win stuff if we have a really high reputation?

[SALvation]

If you click on Edit Options the second or third checkbox is to show your reputation.

Nope don't have that option or anything like it.

[SALvation]

OK, I'll look into it.

[Grimmy]

Nope don't have that option or anything like it.
:hmmm: Under edit options, it was the second check box for me.

[MR. SLiK]

nope i dont have it either, i have the first and third option, but dont have reputation option.

[JIMINATOR]

only you admins have those special powers..... the rest of us are just loozers.
i happen to have mine on by default...

[Thundarr]

Ah, so under User CP is just any comments I had, not necessarily my reputation level since I don't have that Show Reputation option, my screen looks just like Jiminator's... :o
