Now this is totally random but COULD this be because I am on this persons IGNORE list ??
I tried again and got the note "rep cannot be given to the same post twice" hahah it didnt get recognised the first time ?!! Daz.

Depends what their rep points in their user CP are, adding your 96 might not have made them reach the goal posts so to speak to gain that extra smiley face.

I have alot of rep from members with less total rep than me and I didn't get anymore smiley faces or many rep points but when I give it to others who have less rep than me they instantly get another smiley face.....

If, for example they had 101 points then they would have 2 yellow, your 96 would make then 197 which is still 2 yellow and as they had not exceeded the next hundred then their rep would also not change.

If they were above 500 and had at least 1 green then it takes 200 to give them another green although only 100 to increment their rep.

Finally if they have 3 green on the third row then that is the end of the line at this point, no more smilies will show regardless of rep points although rep will still increment for each 100 points.

Rep is made up of 1 point for every month as a member + 1 point for every 500 posts (except for bar) + 1 point for every 100 rep points.

So a member who has been on for 12 months, post count of 876 and has a rep points score of 678 would have a rep of 12 + 1 + 6 = 19.

This is why where are some members with high rep yet few smilies and some with many smilies yet low rep.

Clear as mud?

I will be brutally honest flap and admit you are on my ignore list !!

When i refresh the page after giving rep the rep points always increase by one ... but lately not so ?

And I know the answer but as you are ignoring me you won't see it so I will not bother writing it.

Unless Im also on his ignore list, he should now see it. Works on other forums anyway.

But if I copy the quote Dazzler will see the reply lol

Geez Louise · 20-12-2010, 12:11 AM

When you have someone on ignore, you can still view there post if you choose to by clicking on the view post button on the right hand side of their post where the post number is.

DBourne · 20-12-2010, 09:20 AM

Did you press F5 (refresh) after doing so?

I always hit the refresh box up in the top section ( dont know the name) back to normal now .. strange

I thought it may have had something to do with them being logged on or not as well ...

HSE2 · 20-12-2010, 04:40 PM

It happens to me too for some reason. I can get people given rep but it’s only viable in my account. Sometimes it takes weeks for the number to change and when it does no one has added anything extra. I should be on 153 or 154 but it hasn't updated. It will eventually. I get it a lot especially if I get multiple reps on the same post.

It fixes itself or in my case it mostly does.

Please don't admit he winds you up, you will just encourage him

galaxy xr8 · 20-12-2010, 09:43 PM

Well with the amount of green smiles these people under discussion have against their name, obviously some people like them or tend to agree with them alot ?.

NO!

LOL.

WMD351 · 20-12-2010, 11:48 PM

hehehe
O.K. serious question, why do some members have a number of smiles but no rep power? Have they been naughty?

Read post 514 above, it should explain it.

WMD351 · 21-12-2010, 12:16 AM

Thanks flappist, but I saw someone who's been a member for over three years, has around two thousand posts, and zero rep power?
With only one smile I figured he'd been disciplined, but I've also seen some with multiple smiles and posts/time yet zero rep power.

So do I get rep because I wind him up?

You may have noticed that there are some little green box icons in each user profile that were not previously there.

These are part of the user reputation system that we have introduced on the forum.

Basically the system works like this:

This system allows users to reach predefined reputation levels as follows:

User can only hope to improve -500
User has a little way to go -250
User is an unknown quantity at this point 0
User Still on L plates 10
User P Plater 50
User Advanced Driver - well worthy of respect 250
User is a jewel in the rough 500
User is just really nice 750
User is a beacon of light 1,000
User is a name known to all 1,500
User has much to be proud of 2,500
User has a reputation beyond repute 5,000

All new users start at 10 points of reputation.

All users have the ability to add to the reputation of another user as long as:

They have 50 posts
and
they have 50 points of their own

Registered users can issue points as follows (once they meet the criteria above):

1 point for each 30 days of membership
1 point for each 500 posts
1 point for each 100 points of their own reputation

Reputation points can only be allocated twice per day and there must be 30 other users allocated points before the same user can be awarded again.

Only Admins, Mods and Super Mods can leave negative reputation.

The system has been introduced as a means of allowing all members the opportunity to recognise those fellow members whose contribution to the forum has been of value to them. It is not a popularity contest but is designed to help new users identify those individuals whose input to the forum is of added value.

If somebody has added to your reputation you will be able to see the last few additions in your user profile.

Best regards
Admin Team

Apart from noticing for ages reputation is a fickle thing mostly

First one is a rep of lest than 50 so it is quite probable they have a few "frownies".

The second is somewhat confusing , they were not banned at the time were they?

Ah, my mistake (as usual

)
Checked a couple and they're still yet to chalk up 50 posts!
Thanks guys.

Highway · 18-01-2011, 07:30 PM

ohh i want some smiles and points too!! all mine

SM1DY · 28-01-2011, 06:00 PM

Would it be possible to move the rep and report icons away from each other, I just reported someones post when I meant to add rep. My bad, sorry.

**Falcon Coupe** · 28-01-2011, 06:34 PM

I wondered about that mail, now I'm wondering about the rep.....

Both reports and rep require two clicks, I'd say yours is the first.

**russellw** · 12-02-2011, 10:26 AM

For those wondering we have implemented a cap to the rep power for non admin users to 100 points which is the same level as that of the admins.

Cheers
Russ

Road Games · 12-02-2011, 10:40 AM

Cheers Russ .... i'm surprised flap doesn't have a golden oval under his name ?
