“If we are to have another contest in the near future of our national existence, I predict that the dividing line will not be Mason and Dixon's but between patriotism and intelligence on the one side, and superstition, ambition and ignorance on the other.”
-- Ulysses S. Grant
Oh, I am sure we all know it is more than a tad silly. When people like PersianKitty can't give rep simply because they haven't posted enough I am sure we all know it doesn't really stand for anything.
I've ADMINed forums before and tried rep systems and in all cases ended up pulling them because of misuse. Not saying this will happen on GFY......................
Rep systems work well in theory but in the real world "issues" develope. IF you can call interent forums the real world.

I've been mod for this forum and I really don't see the point of it. But then I wasn't allowed to talk about politics when I was a mod or about guns!!! LMAO
Since this started, I've been red, green and whatever that color is when you have 0, so if someone wants to give me red or green, I really don't care
Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that

I can't really figure out the system as some people have little rep scales and some don't. How does the whole thing work?

Just wait... in a year idiots will be pointing to the rep points as some way of indicating who's "real" in the biz and who isn't just like they do now regarding join dates and post counts.
Im guessing if you act right and don't disrespect others and their opinions, you will be fine. I don't see what is so hard about being respectful to others. But if you troll people, you will be red doted like and Indian from India.
I disagree with others often and manage not to disrespect them in the process. Its not difficult.

Reputation is the opinion of the public towards a person, a group of people, or an organization. It is an important factor in many fields, such as business, online communities or social status.

If you are going to base business decisions on little icons under the person's name, you are nuts.
Only 10k? I heard 20. If they insist on burning resources on this, they should go by join date instead of post count.
Apart from now they will have people posting more to try to get to that post count so they can rate. If they go by join date then post levels can stay just the same as ever with people simply waiting out their time until they get the chance to give rep.

well, I gave a formula in one of those rep threads (now lost!) that took into account post count (as in fact a negative factor for very high post counts) and how much you'd been rep'd today (another negative factor).
By playing with the formula on random people (I had to assume people like JDL had been repped a lot in a day) it worked out quite well to determine whether a person could give rep or not.
Anyway, it amused me briefly to figure a formula out and now it's gone. It will stay simple I'm sure.

In the 'ooooh, shiny thing!' category. It will fade.
One can only hope. Although I do see the potential for fun with those that take it seriously. For it to have any value, we have to be able to see who repped whom.
I only just figured out yesterday that you can see who repped you in your User cp. Which I learned in a post from Candyflip that I then repped. Stay tuned for the next episode of How The Rep Turns...
