roamingguy 300292 Report post Posted April 4, 2011 wellie said: I guess I just don't get the connection between having some "reputation", based on the evaluation (pos or neg) of posts by Lyla members, and being "trustworthy". I doubt that I would necessarily buy a used car, or invest my money with, from someone whose posts on Lyla readers agreed with or found interesting. There is one limited sense of "trustworthy" that maybe connected to the evaluation of posts. After readers have found a few posts to be OK, the MOD can be assured that the new member is not likely to subvert the purpose of the forum. But that limited sense of "trustworthy", does not warrant a general attribution of "not yet trustworthy" to alll new members of Lyla Trustworthy and reputation is used within the context of being in the Lyla community. Do you contribute to this site, or are you a shill poster for example. The ladies don't use Lyla as a substitute for verification/reference checks. I don't think anyone would look up a used car salesman on here to get a deal...trust/reputation is solely within the context of Lyla At least that's how I see it RG Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cato 160314 Report post Posted June 20, 2012 It looks like the formula for calculating the number of rep points that a member can award has changed. It seems to reduce dramatically the number of points being awarded. Can mod confirm or comment on this, please? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest ***t***iv*** Report post Posted November 13, 2012 in the user cp, where the most recent rep points received are shown, I think there is some kind of color code for each reputation I have some green squares next to the rep I got, and one is grey. What do the different colors mean? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What do the different colors mean? Green squares are like green lights: positive. Red squares were negative points and are now gone. Grey squares are neutral: the person does not have enough posts to be able to give rep points. Best, toine 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sensual Erin 33935 Report post Posted December 8, 2012 I'm wondering about these points too? I have over 16,000 points but yet on a day of giving out ten of them or so to others, I'm not allowed to give anymore for 24 hours? Shouldn't giving points reflect your point bank account? I could understand if I had under 1000? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
futileresistenz 28253 Report post Posted December 8, 2012 How many points you can give out is not affected by your 16,000 points, which represents the reputation you've accumulated by participating in the forums and getting rep points or nominations. Giving points to others costs you none of your own points. However, there is a limit on how many points you may give to another member, as well as a daily total, set by the Mod. It's just been put in place to curb people from giving every post (or far too many) points, making you be more selective about what you deem worthy of them. :) Hope that helps!

Hi Erin, you have 16211 reputation points and this gives you a reputation power of 47 (so every time you nominate someone or leave a positive comment to reward someone you give that person 47 points) the system only lets you give points to the same member You can only give 10 members reputation every 24 hours. Here are some other details of how it works... [--] Register Date Factor For every 30 days of membership users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power. [--] Post Count Factor For every 50 posts, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power. [--] Reputation Point Factor For every 5000 points of reputation, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power. [--] Minimum Post Count You must have 25 posts before your reputation hits count on others [--] Minimum Reputation Count You must have 1500 reputation points before your reputation hits count on others [--] Daily Reputation Clicks Limit A user can only give 10 reputation points over each 24 hour period NOTE: Administrators are exempt from this limit. NOMINATED POSTS GET A BONUS 100 POINTS NOMINATED POST WINNERS GET 5000 POINTS SECOND PLACE GETS 2000 and THIRD GETS 1000 Hope that helps... the system is rather complex and it took a lot of work to find the right numbers for all the settings. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aubreyxxx 20240 Report post Posted December 8, 2012 Is there a location where we are able to see the amount of points that we give to someone when we do give them rep points? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toine 30556 Report post Posted December 8, 2012 On the left-hand side of the home page, there is a 'top stat' section. If you expand it to see more of them, you can obtain a list of top thread starter, top reputation, etc. You currently are 58th on the list and from my understanding of Lyla are giving 22 rep points at a time. 58 aubreyxxx 219 19048 22 Best, toine aubreyxxx said: Is there a location where we are able to see the amount of points that we give to someone when we do give them rep points? 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you take a look on the User CP page...you need to scroll down all the way to the bottom, it will show you who's given you recent points, either by commenting on / approving of one of your posts, or by awarding you a nomination.

Phaedrus 209521 Report post Posted January 24, 2013 A minor update from another thread: since this discussion happened, we now have a "thanks" button we can use, which does this: I adjusted the thanks option so that EVERYONE can use it and it gives 25 rep points now as well.
