I know a lot of you are looking for your rep - I know most people want rep. Here's the deal. There is no in-built rep system on IPB. There are, instead, plug-ins which add rep. Most of these cost a bit (as in, are relatively cheap) of money.

Hetan is looking into plug-ins at the moment. Hopefully, we will have reputation on our board very soon. Hopefully that clears a few things up.

*Squee!* That brings me much joy.

Reputation isn't important, it creates unnecessary fuss in my opinion. I'd probably prefer if it wasn't on here but it's not my decision

I second that.

IMHO, it's a waste of time/space/resources.

But then, if people like it....

[Silencer]

Well, you don't have to use it.
The Inn and Mafia people love it, and it's nice to get a bit of an acknowledgment if you make a good post in the book forums, right? Sure, it's all internet stuff and meaningless, but some people like to feel loved!

I miss my daily Affirmations.

Why, does it make you better looking kitty cat?

Does it really matter?
Just add it to whining for it and those that cont want it can ignore it, if you really didn't care why make such a big deal about it, ignore it like a bad dog; eventually it'll learn
I think it'd be another small thing for that little bit to make you feel wanted

I was only around for a brief time during purgatory, so I wasnt ever involved with all the rep-whoring and wasnt aware it caused troubles and irritations. That said, it's a cool feature. It was nice to rep someone for saying something interesting or funny, and it adds a bit of a personal touch to your compliment.

Maybe just cap it at a certain level to stop people from abusing it. At worst there'll be a brief period of rep-whoring and someone will actually win 'I win'. And if in a couple of months the majority of the people on the thread have reached the rep-cap, then it can be raised again.

It's a nice way to help new people to the site see which people are worth listening to. Even if they got all their rep in the inn, it still shows they've been around for a while and know a bit about the site.

Haha, true mate, inn seems to be the place where im at most, hope its not a foreshadowing
btw, i feel like an idiot for asking, actually most of the time, but is there anythings special about the thing that's replaced where the stars where?

It's just a user group icon.

Shows, for example, that you're a "malaz regular" and I'm an "admin".

[James]

ah, thanks for being patient.
i take it then there's no "i live in Macao, get me out before my lungs fill with smog" group?
well imho i think there great, a few more options/changes would be uber-nice, or i haven't found them yet

With gratitude
