Suggestion: Reputation System must be improve

[inetd]

It seems to me, that increase / decrease of reputation of the user should fulfil in other method.
It should not be the new window.
The idealest variant, in my opinion, if to the left of the post, near a level of reputation, will be + and - for voting for or against.
It seems to me, it will be more clear.

[Freezerator]

in the current mode it is for users to complicated to rate a user i think.
it would be much easy-er if you can directly vote on someone, without a reason.

[TonyG]

Definently would be more clear, and alot easier to add reputation too. :)

[inetd]

Devs, you plan to improve system of reputation?

[Wayne Luke]

No they don't it is currently the best conceivable method so the person doesn't have to leave the thread to use the reputation system.

You can always change this behavior through changing the templates but they will lose track of their position in the thread.

[feldon23]

comments?

[Freddie Bingham]

What do you suggest one does with the ability to leave a comment?

[feldon23]

Do I have to solve all the world's problems today? :)

[Wayne Luke]

You aren't rating the user directly though. You are rating the user's post in a thread which then reflects on that user in the long run.

I can do this all day.

Your sug - the best. But I can't understand why devs don't want make this in vB3.

I'm considering what has been said in this thread, just haven't gotten back to it yet.

He says, he will think about it, and when he has some time left he will get deeper into it.

Thank you very much!

Good deal, Feldon. I like. :tup:

[insanctus]

It is easier, but seeing as it is an extra feature I can under stand why they did it as they did (less mess).

It would not be a hard template mod to get the look you are wanting.

[Freddie Bingham]

I think this is best left the way it is. If it were to be made so that all you have to do is click an image to give or take reputation, then someone could easily dupe someone into giving reputation by redirecting them to the action called by the image. Going through a form stops this from happening.

There are two variants:
1. It will be safe, but is not popular.
2. It will be popular and convenient function, but with the lacks.

I choose 2.

As it is possible to establish, that clicks made on showthread.php / showpost.php were taken into account only.
And in adjustments of the forbidden phrases to establish URL which is necessary for exhibiting a rating. It will allow to avoid links for exhibiting ratings immediately in posts.

[Freddie Bingham]

If you wish to have option #2 then you can modify the code to support it. It would be a trivial thing to do for someone experienced in php.

[inetd]

freddie, I don't know PHP & mySQL. :(
And see this thread. The majority of users want variant 2.

[wolfman]

I prefer to have it pretty much the way it is. Simply because if it was too easy to use it would be abused.

[okrogius]

freddie, I don't know PHP & mySQL. :(
And see this thread. The majority of users want variant 2.
One user doesn't qualift as majority. Implementing option two would require minimal effort, and if you're so set on wanting it you are more then free to do it.

Peronally I stronly prefer your option number 1.

Remind me when the RC is released and I will post a hack for you to do this on vbulletin.org.

They lose track of their position in the thread anyway. When the reputation button is clicked, the thread scrolls to the top.

My members have already found ways to do this. They use the reputation system's anonymity to their advantage to the point where they give bad rep all the time to someone they don't like, even if their posts are perfectly fine.

I'm thinking of modifying it so that you can choose to leave your rep as visible to get the full pointage or anonymous to only give or take one point (if you can modify reputation at all)

Hmm.. Never experienced that myself. Maybe a quirk of the browser you are using.

[fury]

IE6, only 50% of internet connected people use it ;)

Doesn't mean it is perfect...

[fury]

I know, but you'd think someone else would've noticed that post and said so sooner than I did...

[Freddie Bingham]

It is not supposed to be doing that and I can see it is because of the href="#". It should only pop open the rep window and not fool around with the parent window at all. I'll move this to bugs so that this can be dealt with.

[Lumina]

Oh, I just see this thread now !

Well, I have posted this yesterday :
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/bugs.php?do=view&bugid=116

Between option 1 and option 2, I choose option 1 of course ! People would be very annoyed if they were harassed with bad reputation all the time, just because some people do not like them. :(

Then, I know there would be guilds wars about it :
- UserGroup A shares half of its reputation points to improve its own members, and uses the other half to decrease the UserGroup B members' reputation.
- UserGroup B does the opposite.

And each time that would be possible, someone with a new member account would use a tricky link redirection to make the whole board decreases someone else's reputation ! :(

[Erwin]

Slightly off-topic = what about a points system, that is based on post count with integration with the subscription and using points to purchase avatars etc.?

[Lumina]

Erwin,
The Postcount only depends of one user alone.
The Reputation is something that depends of every users.

If you have a link that contains "#", some browsers like internet explorer scroll to the top and this gets real annoying some times. Theres a way around this though, heres the method I use and it works well. Replace every occurance of "#" with "java script:;". Doing so, the browsers wont scroll to the top any more.

Note: Without the space between java and script.

Could you be more specific? I've done things like this in the past, but it seems as if it doesn't want to work. I've run into the always-frustrating "return statement is outside of function" error message.

[Floris]

Doesn't IPB have this as a feature in 1.2 now? On the left column in a postbit? (iirc)

[version2]

I made it so that a little bit of Reputation (I call it Karma) gets taken FROM a person when they give bad reputation. That makes a person think twice before just handing bad rep out all over the place.

[version2]

Hmm.. Never experienced that myself. Maybe a quirk of the browser you are using.

It happens to me, too...sometimes.

Doesn't matter to me as long as users can still put in a 'Comment'. To me its of little value without the Comment aspect.

How did you do this?

Same here.

If you figure out how to do this I'd appreciate knowing how.

Can you please make it an option to disable anonymous voting for the rep. system in admin cp?

90% of the members on my board are against anonymous voting for the reputation system due to abuse of the system by board trolls.

[xxskullxx]

Personally I think it is fine the way it is (beside losing my place).

[jonik]

I for one thing it is VERY necessary to make it that a user reputation can be viewed by all the users (and they can see written responses as well). That would be a great tool.

When users start getting over 1500 points, you'll need this:
