Gauntlet Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 How is Reputation determined and what does it mean? CaptainCoulson, Bruce Wallon, DoctorImpossible and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywind Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 It's based on reactions to your posts. Click on your name in the upper right. Go to "Profile". Click on the green reputation box on the upper left there. It will show you a breakdown of reactions to your posts.

Duke Bushido Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 For what it's worth, be mindful of the little reaction face that looks like sympathetic sadness. It's actually just "you made me sad" and inflicts negative rep just like the down arrow does. Don't use it unless you mean it.

C-Note Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 I just wonder why I'm still classified as a "New Member" after being here for 16 years. Babies born when I joined the board are driving now! 🙂 DoctorImpossible 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But under Account Settings -> Edit Profile -> Basic Info you should be able to change your title to whatever you want. I just changed mine to "Beetlejuice" for no reason whatsoever to demonstrate.

I've tried, off and on for years to edit my Rank, but the feature has never been available. Plus, I've seen board members with lower post counts and newer membership dates with custom Ranks. At my current post rate, I'll be in my mid-80s when I can edit my rank. Only 30+ years to go! 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Bushido Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 I really don't want to suggest this, but every board I've been in that tracked rep had one thing in common: If there was a humor or pictures thread, posts on those threads consistently received three or more times as many reactions as typical for posts on the rest of the board. This board has a thread (that I love) for pictures that are humorous. Consider finding something unique you can put up there once or twice a week. Perhaps there is a "rep trigger" of some sort that might unlock your custom rank. Do keep in mind that these are just wags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Note Posted November 21, 2019 Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 Seriously? Not singling out Usagi. I just think there may be a bug in the forum software preventing me from changing Rank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke Bushido Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 I don't know how you did that, Doc, but thanks for the Link. [EDIT: I finally found the problem. There is a disconnect for some reason between what is displayed in the area of my screen i which that particular drop-down menu is displayed and where my track ball seems to _think_ it is. I have spent _weeks_ trying to get that thing to drop down, and it won't do it. Found it just now, attempting to give it "one last try" after your link proved it existed. Tonight I've been writing, and have the screen slip top and bottom, with the forum on the bottom (I usually do a side-to-side; forum on the right). When I clicked on it with the banner of the board well low from where it usually is, it worked! A quick uninstall / reinstall of the drivers for the trackball seems to have cured the problem completely. Thanks again, Doc: if it wasn't for that, I wouldn't have even known I had a problem (other than common lunacy, of course ) Ternaugh and Doc Democracy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Neilson Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 I believe you have to have some de minimis number of posts before getting out of "moderator", but moderation is pretty quick. It's largely a spam protector, I believe. At the bottom right of your post, I see a heart. If I hover over it, it goes colour and provides reaction options. If you can't see it, I suspect reactions are unavailable until that minimum post count is achieved. DoctorImpossible 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
