exact points are only known to each individual member - this "reputation system" is displayed to the public , via the green dot system. It does grow over time at for example one green dot per X amount of rep points.
More fair than an exact "3 billion rep points so i is the king" type of thing :D

Id say there are a few different varibles within the system that the Admin can change too - such as "alllowable rep point give/recieve" limits per day etc.

but in my example you could only give out 1 point for every 2 points you recieved.. so even if let say wyn gave you 10 points you could give out 5 points to any one individual or 1 point to 5 different people .. and 1 point will get you nowhere in this eg.. because you need 2 to give out 1 point so it will sooner or later go down..

and like wyn said only a select few will be able to give out points.. obviously he would try to avoid having people rating each other just to get their rating up .. ^_^..

what if ur not too knowledgble in the ways of technical things, but are in others areas..ie. running cruises, shows, trading etc. are we not knowledgable??? i dont find this system very fair at all. i've made quite a few posts and i could guarantee that most are of relevance to the topic at hand. a few have been knowledgable and have helped some people out or pointed them in a direction to help them.

basically, by not having a green square means you have no knowledge about hondas at all and should just not post anything. nice way to keep members! sorry but i find it an insult to my intelligence

Who gets to give the brownie points for posts made by the user who are deemed "Knowledgable"?

i thought the rep point was more a rating so that people can judge if the person they are talking to is giving out accurate information on a car forum about well technical car information.

its not really a ranking of inteligence.. .. its more of the thing when if someone ask a serios question lets say "my vtec isent engaging"
you would get 100 post after it saying did it fall of? some people gullible like myself would believe that (yeh right if im a newbie maybee) <--- although i think information like that is realyl useless =P

but its more so the newcommers can have atleast a way of knowing if they are been misled. i thought it was a good idea..

and we all know your super Mr focus =P

Wow, is this a case off feeling deprived because you have not been rated yet? As far as I understand the system is not all functional as of right now but even if it was I'd be patient. I am sure your qualities will be seen eventually and if you know your are knowledgeable in a certain field I think you could care less what other people think about you.

To be helpful and knowledgeable should go without saying and I certainly wouldn't expect praise for it. I am sure the people you have helped will be appreciative and eventually a person will note who hands out brownie points.

why is he deprived? he merely states a situation where he wont get a rep point simply cos he isnt there for the tech side of things? EG: Chartineal, have u ever posted in the tech section? Cos if not ur a dvmbcvnt. Thats what he means, by its not fair he gets judged like that cos he doesnt post in tech, cos if u follow him in the lounge, his is godlike :)

As for ur assumption that the mods all know what they are talking about when it comes to tech, its jsut that, an assumption. u might not see it in airy fairy land, but if u been around long enough, u can see not all mods know their shit in tech (no offense inteded to mods as they are doing what they were spose to, ie mod well :) )

Sorry, I do not communicate on that level. If you want to continue this discussion, I will gladly respond as long you are able to keep your tongue in check.

Damn.......all these replies and the thing isn't even operational yet! The apparent 12 points you have Panda is because people abused it for the day or so it was up while I was trying to sort it all out. Hence the reason everyone won't be able to use it.

I'm going to try and cover all the questions so sorry if I've missed out anything.

The system is only for technical related posts so that new members will be aware of who knows what they're talking about and who doesn't. It's merely a guide this system and something definitive (see my last quote in this reply).

Hence, someone who is 'active' in the lounge or with organising cruises ETC should not be getting any 'points' in the first place.

A reputation will only be awarded if a post is correct and they want be handed out just for the sake of it :)

also, how do the mods know that the info posted is correct, incorrect, disputeable, theoretically correct/incorrect, practical (in terms of exercise in the real world) etc? like all things, theres 2 sides to a coin, what if a mod disagrees with a members views?

just my concerns wyn, i dont really give a sh1t tho lol, ill just stay out :)

Second. I furthermore believe that moderators will be rather knowledgeable and will only evaluate what they are able to evaluate, meaning, if a mod drives a prelude and knows his H22 stuff he will not be evaluating anything he has no knowledge off (which kinda ties in with position one).

So all in all I don't think these issues will arise.

I do see the validity of your points, though and I believe the site admin does as well and that's the reason why he won't let everyone rate anybody.
