Reputation?

Re: Reputation?

Yes there were 3 different people. However you can not award reputation to the same person twice in a row, be it postive or negative, you have to award it to 10 other people first before you can award to that person again. But I don't think those 10 awards have to be postive.

Re: Reputation?

I think it's called "chicklet inflation". That occurs when someone tries to give someone a red chicklet for a post and has to give (I don't know how many, but there isn't a one-to-one correlation) positive ratings for many many posts, whether they really think those are good posts or not...just take a look at some of the posts you got positive ratings for, and you'll see what I mean.

I did. They were brilliant. Absolutely brilliant!

I take it you don't think I deserve my greenies. Well ... neener, neener!

I never said that. I just said that if you wanted to give a person a bad rating on a particular post, you could, but if you thought a particular person was pilau consistently, you have to award many many positive ratings before the system, in its wisdom, will let you give that person another bad rating on another post. And how do you know I DIDN'T give you positive ratings on some of your posts, hmmmm?

So looking at this thread, yours is the lastest response. I am trying to click all over the place to figure out how to empower posters with chicklets. While I have not quite figured out how to do that, I clicked on the "report post" BY ACCIDENT!!

Mea Culpa!!!!!!!

Then I clicked on FAQ, and faq me if I still cannot figure out how to toss chicklets people's way.

You need to click on the "scale" icon located at the top right corner of the individual's post.

Re: Reputation?

You click on the scale icon, which would be just to the left of the report bad post icon.

To be clear on this:

There is a dark strip that is at the top of a post. Going from left to right are:

Left side:
Status of the post (noticed Old or Unread so far, might be others)
Date and time when it was posted to HawaiiThreads

Right side:
number of post in the thread (#1 is the first post of the thread)
balance icon, this is where you click to give reputation (it will say add to xxx reputation)
report bad post icon

If the balance icon is not there, then the post cannot receive reputation because the poster's account is closed or banned.

Re: Reputation?

Click the little "scales" in the reddish bar at the top of each post... right by the post number.

Then I clicked on FAQ, and faq me if I still cannot figure out how to toss chicklets people's way.

Re: Reputation?

Wow, an unprecedented double echo off of my post.

Eh Blaine, is this deserving of one of your infamous "confonits"?

[zztype]

Re: Reputation?

Ahhhh, dass what I get for giving the knee-jerk reply. I didn't see that there was a next page until after posting that... confonit!

Re: Reputation?

Unless the person with the most "chicklets" wins a new car, beachfront home, gasoline and a pack of "Chicklets" chewing gum for an entire year, I'd say LOOSE IT.

It only gives (internet) lurkers and "HaterAde drinkers" a tool to ruin other people's real world GOOD reputation.

Re: Reputation?

I got 2 green (good) and 1 red (bad) reputation point notices for the identical post I did. Pretty funny!

I got a pm from a poster thanking me for my comments about their post and an anonymous red rep from someone else. Go figga.

Re: Reputation?

From glancing at this sorted list, you might get the notion that only certain HT members had been invited to a private green chiclet ping pong party.

Interesting too that it's now 21 to 17 in favor of removing the Reputation system.
