We have the ability to give people “Reputation point”. Positive point if we think he/she gives good answer and valuable infomation ;), and negativ point if we think he/she is just an ugly spammer >:)
It’s a very nice features to improve the forums quality indeed imho.
Ok, well, there is a “Rep.” button on each post. But… how can we know the actual reputation of people ? And where can we see our own actual reputation ?
When I click on the “Rep.” button on one of my own post, I can see I have “10” reputation points : I presume that’s the default number with which everybody begins, right ?
I’ve looked around, but was unable to find a way to see all this information… Maybe can anyone help me ?
I had never even noticed this until you mentioned it.
I like Ubuntu Forums, because you can “thank” people and have that info added to their avatar, but I did not realize until now you could do something similar here as well.
Spyhawk,
Thanks for pointing it out, I’m just not observant I guess.
Incidentally, I clicked yours for approval.
One more thing if you go to your profile or just beneath your post count you’ll see a green dot next to your name. Hover over it & it’ll say something in my case I’m “on a distinguished road.”
Spyhawk,thanks didn’t notice that until you mentioned it! I gave you an approval.
Now under your post count there’s a green square hover over that & it’ll say something in my case I’m “on a distinguished road.”
It looks like everyone, even people with one post, as well as people with hundreds or thousands of posts, are all traveling along this very same “distinguished road”.
I just hope there are not too many traffic jams or toll booths on this “distinguished road”.

Well, my opinion is that reputation is only useful if the community uses
it to reward those that truly deserve it, but hey…this is the community
forum, you can use it for whatever you want.
I’m still trying to figure out exactly how “spam” went from being defined as “unsolicited commercial email” to being “a post someone made on a message board that thought was really stupid.”
