Reputations - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I would like to thank TGWBS for my new shiny 11th box. I feel so awesome now!

...well, in a pathetic, geeky way. But awesome.

Gothmog, you're quite welcome. Congrats.

Amazing what reps will do to a person's mental state - about a month or two ago I hit this huge dry streak and it was terribly depressing... And then you get a whole bunch in a week and it makes you ecstatic.

I know exactly what you mean. I'm trying my best not to care too much anymore, but it's really hard...

Is there a way to see the number of reps that people have been given? It would be interesting to see how that list might differ from the list of rep points, if it does. Because if a person gets most of their reps from the people without as many rep points, their rep isn't going to be as high as someone who might not get as many reps but receives most of them from people higher up on the list.

Not that I know of, though it's possible the administration could.

If it is more blessed to give than to receive, it would be interesting to have a list of those who give the most reputations. The Barrow-Wight has compiled a list on occasion in the past, but as far as I know, there's no public access to that information normally. Anyway, if we all concentrated more on giving points than receiving them, we would all have an active, not passive, role in the reputation system.

Here, here!
Perhaps there should be a golden rep box for every 100th time you rep someone. I say this as it would be another thing on the 'member's list' page and you could then sort by who is the biggest giver.
Just a thought.

Hookbill, you're strangely obsessed with golden rep boxes. It can't be doing you any good...

In any case, rep-given boxes would be down to V-Bulletin, not Mr Wight. I'm not sure they offer them.

Actually, there is a way. That is, if you made the list...

'Top 'Reputation Givers (scroll to #127)

That is a list of the 'Top' members by number of reputations (not the points) given and received up to that point. I do hope a new one comes soon. *cough*hint*cough*

Firefoot · 02-16-2006, 07:56 PM

Ah, thanks for that. It might be nice to see an updated version, though...
