Reputation Power!!!

[Starlight]

A large part of it was people were just repping people for the sake of repping to get the stars etc. It kind of defeats the purpose. Repping is supposed to be to compliment someone on a post. When people know who repped them the instinct is to go back and return the favour whether its warranted or not.....

ah i see. Thanks for the info

Oh it's ok I found it

[ColJack]

reputation can be good or bad, so why is there no option to un-tick the "I approve" button?

I wanted to send a negative rep to someone who's post I strongly dissagreed with ( actually I find it a bit mean and nasty towards people like me... ) but can only send positive rep...

[Starlight]

Because that could be totally abused. How would you feel logging on and seeing you had X no of negative reps. A forum my dad used had this for a while and people ended up 'smiting' people they just didnt like and it got really nasty

Minimins is a supportive site and a feature like this really goes against what its all about

If you feel a post is nasty or unsupportive etc either hit the report button or flag it up to a Moderator

[ColJack]

fair enough, but what about neutral rep?
you want to comment on the post privately to them but not give them points that you don't think they deserve?
there should at least be an option to un-tick the "I approve" button otherwise what's the point of having it as a button in the first place?

You can send someone a private message if you wish to continue further a discussion to do with a post.



If you do not want to be identified and have a problem with a members post then you should hit the abuse button and the Moderators and Admin will look into it.

don't you have to be friends with someone to PM them?
I don't see the option on most peoples profiles..

[Starlight]

Nope so long as you both have 50 posts you can PM anyone... if you click on their ID above their avatar you get a drop down menu one of the options is Send Private Message Or if youre in their profile theres a 'send message' option below their name on the left side of the screen that gives you the option of a PM or a visitor message

[Mini]

You don't have to be friends with someone to pm them if you have enough posts.

I know this is an old post but I couldn't find a newer one, hope thats ok!
I was wondering if by giving someone rep power it takes it away from your points?
I.e If I have 100 points and give someone rep points do I lose my 100?

[Starlight]

No you dont Yours stays the same - theirs increases

[Krissykat]

great thank you

how long do you have to wait to rep somebody again. once i have I have sent somebody a reputation comment I can't rep them again even if it is six months later and i have sent a few other rep comments in the meantime. is this normal
