What does everyone think?

And how do you think it should be represented?

Ie. for one thing I’m planning on adding it beside posts, ie. just below “Posts:"

And using graphics for it? Who could make graphics?

This is how it works now:
The number it shows is just the number of reputations given in total.
The color indicates if the majority if the votes were either negative (red), a balance between negative/positive votes black and positive (green).
A user can only vote if he has made 1000 posts himself.

And regarding the neutral rep., well, whether or not it’s possible to vote neutral, the amount of positive and negative votes can still balance (be equal). Honestly though I like the idea of a neutral vote/comment.

I will consider it. Regarding graphics I’m kind of at a loss... It should be very small obviously, liek the size of smilies...

Eh, I’m not too sure if I could think of anything about the size of a smiley except for a ball with a number in it or something. What about this?



It’d be 100 pixels wide to fit directly under a person’s avatar and 15 pixels tall.

It’s the bar I use on the member’s rep page in off topic. When it comes to rep, bars that slowly fill up are usually the best way to go.

What if you had more than one rep? Like this.

positive %
negative %
neutral %

Wouldn’t that help some?

Well, three bars would be a little much. The idea of the bar changing color depending on which rep was given the most is better.

Shortly I will find a way to show, at least the latest comments, on the user page.

Cid wrote: Yeah, so.. I see that it says that the previous vote will be overlapped if you give a rep to the same person.. Bjarne, I think that’s kinda pointless. How about only allowing the member to give one rep to a single person once every 24 hours?

For example, I just gave Green_Ninja a positive rep. I shouldn’t be able to give her another one for 24 hours. However, I can still give a point to Zeta today.

Something like that.

Over the next week or two the plan is do tweaking on the reputation system (in fact you might experience a reset if some changes are done that “invalidates” votes already cast....). I have numerous tweaks in mind (many based on the feedback users have provided thus far).

Also I will porbably implement the smileys given by Cid soonish

Lastly I have another relatively difficult thing that I really need to implement..A feature that should speed up the site immensely....Page caching (primarily for guests — - but guests = 70%+ of the traffic)
