Well we used to have this (before you arrived Hooskins, I believe) and it wasn't anything great. We're trying it again, but I'm not anticipating great results

On that note though, in exchange for some reputation points my way I'll keep you on the "Do Not Ban" list :)

(there's actually no such list so don't ask to get on it)

Yeah pretty much, after all I love anything EGO related.

Seriously though, it's just something we're trying out to reward people for quality posts.

Haha man, but the list is in your mind right?

Re: Do we have reputation ratings now?
 

I agree that it's not likely to have any major impact, but I want to also express that I 100% agree with the spirit of the move. Now that the season has started, we are tending to see more and more emotional posting, where people are just blowing off steam after losses or simply celebrating after wins. That may make you feel good, but it clutters the board and makes people have to sift through more crap in order to get to the quality and thoughtful discussion that may be buried somewhere within the board.

Here's some more info regarding the user reputation system:

vBulletin's user reputation system provides a way of rating users based on the quality of their posts. Users on your forums can add or subtract reputation points from other users by clicking the reputation link in their posts.

User reputations allow the users in your community to tell vBulletin which users are quality and which users are not. And in response to user feedback, vBulletin has the ability to label and reward users for the quality of their posts, as is indicated by their reputation.

By the way let's try to not make this a personal thing. If the negative comments get too out of control we'll have to take away the ability to leave negative reputation points. The point here is to reward people for quality posts, not to necessarily punish people.

It says I've given out too many reputation points in 24 hours, does that mean I'm a forum whore?

No, I just gave you negative feedback and it didn't remove your point.
