If someone develops a poor "reputation" that they think is unjustified - it is only going to lead to lawyers writing letters to Wyn.
If it was called something else eg - "informative post rating" or something that can ONLY result in positive ratings - I think that would be better. As soon as you rate people's posts in a negative way it is only asking for trouble. I don't think we need more pissed off people or arguments on Ozhonda. Praising the good posts would be best. LIke I said - I have not seen any detail and I am hoping this is only going to involve positive feedback. Just my 2 cents.
Interesting point Yoram. I have no say in what it is called (IE 'reputation") as it is something that the VB developers came up with.
It will be based primarily on the selected users giving other users a 'agree' or 'disagree' verdict on a post with a small description. Users can view the ratings made for/against them in their UserCP and only THEY can see these comments (this can be disabled if required). Other users can only see the little green/red dots and the description when the mouse is held over the dots. The other option is to not allow negative ratings but only positive ratings (?)
UNderstood - do you think we need the negative ratings? Over time you will see the people who come up with the great posts as they will have the green dots. I have some reservations about the "negative" side - angry PMs to moderators and between members is just one!Quote:

hmm I'd been looking for this thread, wondered what it was all about. Sounds good Wyn:thumbsup:
i think its a great idea.. theres a few ppl on here that give advise that just isnt correct... someone with no knowledge of cars can easily find themselves in trouble from following the wrong advise. This system would seperate the correct from the incorrect
will it be related to technical post only or will personal opinions get involved? Eg: the longe ect?
hopefully only technical posts... seeing the lounge is based on nothing in particular...
people will still have personal opinions in the technical sections..
nothing can stop that from happening..
It is strictly for technical posts and this is exactly why only certain users can use it.Quote:
