Anyway, back to the topic....
Heck, what REALLY makes someone a reputation in a setting such as a discussion forum? Does time on the playing field really matter? How about the bulk number of posts made? What IS "reputation" anyway? And what SHOULD it be based on?
I'm leaning towards having ONLY what rep points others bequeath to each other as being the sole determining factor. But maybe time on the field and number of posts being a filter to limit those members whose rep points actually will count towards someone else. Basically someone new has to earn the right to participate in that function. And the right would be partially earned by participating enough, via posts, and having been a member here for a measured period of time.
Or does this all sort of just take the FUN out of it all? :shrugs:
And how about limiting negative rep to Contributor members only?
Might as well put everything on the table if I'm going to be changing the rules.
I have no clue how VB coding works, therefore have no knowledge while responding here.
Is it broken? Does it need fixing? I'd rather see age of member returned and who cares about rep points. I'm trading mine in when I have enough for a moth. Or a month. Have to be a really special moth at La Resorto Serpenco. Simply seeing member age seems to be an indicator of parameters surrounding a reply.
Visual age licit's a greater good for the community.
Please do not strip away or change much from the site or I suspect it may lose its original distinctiveness.
