Giving reputations to a post as distinct from a poster

[Burgess]

Give Reputation Using AJAX
Reputation can now be added to a post without leaving the page. When you click the reputation icon on a post, a box will appear and allow you to choose whether you approve or disapprove of the post and provide a reason.

We don't use the Reputations function for posters.

Can we use it just for posts? I presume that reputations is different from rating?

Reputation is given to posts, but added to the posters reputationcount.
I would give your post above reputation, because it was helpful to me for example, and your reputationcount would go up.

Hi Colin

I still don't get it.

For example, I clicked on the scales icon on your post and was asked to tick "I approve of this post" I gave the following reason "I think this is a good post"

In reality, am I not just giving you a reputation rather than the post. Can I see the reputation and comments on the posts anywhere?

You can't, but I can see it by clicking on the scales on my own post.
i've given your post #3 reputation, so have a look and click on the scales image.

You can also see the latest reputations you received in your UserCP.

I guess it would be nice to be able to display how many ppl approve/disapprove a post and make it visible to others (per usergroup setting... and per user setting...). Each post that reputation was given to... would show the total number of reputation given -/+ and total number of user who gave a -/+ to the post in question...

I should have created a new thread: www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=195587

Thanks Colin

I am trying to see if I should enable the facility and it doesn't seem to have any benefit. It's just a different way for rating posters.

As mods we would like to identify the good posters and the bad posters but we don't want the other posters to see our discussions. Can we use the facility to do this?

Can we limit the awarding of reputation to mods only?
Can we limit the viewing of reputations to mods only?

By the way, I can see the comment you made on my post, but I see nothing in the User CP
