guys

[rubah]

I haven't gotten rep points in TWO AND A HALF MONTHS. Guys, I'm jonesin' here.

Let's think of new rep levels. There are way too many of us who are Beyond Repute.

I think one should be

Godly Unne.

[Bunny]

There are girls on this forum too, sexist.

[Rantz]

I think because everyone could only give one rep point at a time at first, it seemed to take forever to get rep so we set the levels down a ton. Then those who had gotten some rep started getting more reputation power and were giving like 10 points at a time and people's points started rising exponentially, and now we have a good few members who give out like 100 rep points every time they rep someone, which would pretty much take a new member to the highest level in one click.

Edit: okay someone changed it, so more like three clicks now.

How much rep does one need for such rep powers?

[NorthernChaosGod]

I agree, I've been at beyond repute for ages. I almost made a thread about this myself.

How is rep power determined?

Wait, with the new EoFF where the rep levels on our profile? I forgot about them, and when I went to go looked, I somehow did not catch them. :confused:

[Pheesh]

You can see your rep if you go to settings.

How is rep power determined?

I wanted to answer this with obnoxious precision, so I went to check and then I forgot what this thread was called and which forum it was in and it took me forever to find it.

Current settings are:
Rep power = [ floor(reputation / 10) + floor(days since registration / 5000) + floor(post count / 10000) + 1 ]

In other words, it's pretty much based on your own reputation, being roughly 1/10th of it. You also don't have any rep power if you've never posted.

[NorthernChaosGod]

Awesome, I have bitchin' rep power. :cool:

[blackmage_nuke]

Whats floor?

[Rantz]

Rounded down!

[rubah]

also, can it be a profile selection whether to see reputation in the postbit? I liked it in Hello Fantasy until someone removed it.

More ideas:

Grand Poobah
Mealworm
Unicorn of Spam

[Madonna]

Why do they sound more like custom titles than descriptions of charisma and respect?

[rubah]

which ones, darling?

[Jiro]

All my rep comes from badasses like Eric, Julian and Wes. Yes I did put Wes in there thank you very much.

[Rodarian]

I don't even have rep points...well just a couple... :P What good are they any how!!

[G13]

I'm a reppin' machine, yo. I remember a few months ago I'd reach my limit every day, back when rep used to matter. Now it's out of sight out of my mind.

[NorthernChaosGod]

I know you still care. Search your feelings Eric. You will know it to be true.

[The Last Illoran]

I'm pretty sure rep points count for nothing on this forum

[rubah]

They count to me! And I'm like 1/17th of this forum!

[escobert]

I've only been reped twice so I'll never reach any rep level :p

[Hollycat]

I think I have like 1 point

[escobert]

Where do we even see our rep anymore?

[Jowy]

if you get enough rep, you become a recognized member

that's what i heard anyway.

i wouldn't lie to you.

ever

[Raistlin]

I agree that rep levels are boring, as in more need to exist after "beyond repute." It still amuses me to check my rep comments every once-in-a-while to see what messages people have left me (which is by far the best part of the rep system anyway).

[rubah]

yes! I love reading/leaving messages for witty things, but I also enjoy the little levels names, which is why I'm promoting this brainstorming session

[Hollycat]

We should all de-rep me to see what happens

[Shlup]

I tried to think of new rep levels, but I fell asleep. If you guys think of good ones, I am down to change them.

[qwertysaur]

<pre>1000-5000 {name} could eat a moogle and still be seen as a shining beacon of light.
5001-9998 The mention of {name} brings hushed whispers throughout the town.
9999 {name} likes to dance (~^.^)~ and earned the almost 10000 achievement worth 15 points!
10000-20000 If you get {name} to rep you, you will get about 1000 rep points, no lie!
20001-30000 {name} is somewhere between stunning and stellar.
30001-40000 {name} is rumored to be the 5^th warrior of light.
40001+ This {name} are reputation very high.</pre>

:p

[Hollycat]

whoever banned tli, if its possible go ahead and delete the profile, I wont be doing a fake ban again, also neisho, at least ban it

[Shiny]

So that you can cockwave?

[Timekeeper]

I didn't really realise there was rep, let alone the fact that I actually have some!

[blackmage_nuke]

How can you tell when someone is beyond repute?

[Alive-Cat]

Since returning to EoFF this is the one feature I have no idea about and haven't discovered. WHAT THE SMURF IS IT? WHAT POINTS!?

[Hollycat]

we should have ranks instead for avs and helpfulness and overall rep

and all new members should have the title:
"A BIG FAT NOOB"
for a month after joining

[Alive-Cat]

I still don't understand. Cactuar, you'll explain right, old buddy?

[Hollycat]

the first part, eveyone should rate avatars and people's helpfulness, and whomever is most helpful would be ranked 1

once again:
instead of banning all new members, we should give them titles that say

A BIG FAT NOOB

for the first month or until they reach 30 posts
