"You have given out too much reputation in the last 24 hours"...

...please try again later.

This was the box that popped up when I tried to give Scott Hanna reputation - not thanks.... Funny thing is, I haven't given ANY reputation in the last 24 hours. I have only given "thanks".

Sharing to much love, Big Papa! :)

Sharing to much love, Big Papa! :)

Thank to you pointing out that I wasn't, several months ago... :sqbiggrin:

Thanks counts as rep and is counted in the total reputation tally for each 24 hour period.

i just gave chuck rep and thanks

I got the gold medal though :sqlaugh: :rofl:


Come to think of it, how come I don't get any multi-million dollar endorsements, like them swimmer dudes...?

Just don't seem fair to me -- I work my butt off, coming up with one liners, and ya would've thought Nike or somebody would of picked me up by now -- but NO :sqeek:

I guess I'm just chicken liver, but thanx all the same :sqbiggrin:

YouTube - thanks for the memory shirley ross bob hope

What's the difference between Reps and Thanks? Are reps the only things that make your little meter go all 'softjock"?

Thanks add 1 rep point at a time. Actually repping someone by clicking on the justice scales could be much much more. It depends on how much the person has that is repping you. For instance if Rick reps you, you will get more points added to your rep than if I rep you because Rick has a better (higher) rep than I.

I feel like I'm talking in circles. :eek: Did that clear things up for you any?

If you open your User CP (http://www.ourdjtalk.com/usercp.php) and look at the 5th heading titled "Latest Reputation Given" beside that title, on the right you will see "Your Rep power is X" that means everytime you rep someone you give them those number of rep points. My rep power is 84, so when I just repped you Hank I gave you 84 points or the equilant of 84 thanks in 1 shot. That's why there's limits on how much a member can rep in each day.

Rick,

Just wanted to let you know that your my favorite here.

Beer, Sir?

I'd love a beer Ruben :sqbiggrin:


But please don't call me Sir -- I work for a living... ;) :)

Wow! Mine is like giving 117 Thanks at one time.... Scott is worth it though.

Papa,

HIT ME!

Dave

ps. I KNOW...gratuitous.

See, if I can't rep Scott, I can't rep you. I will give you a Thanks, though.

So when you get a Red Dot in the Latest Reputation Box what does that do to your score?

Glad to see you joining the club. This happens to me all too frequently and I must learn to pace myself better. :D

Cesar:

I believe that subtracts rep points from your total. How many points deducted would depend on that persons rep.


Kirby

But Papa, they tell us you give good rep... ;)

The best. :sqerr::sqeek::sqlaugh:

Can you see another persons Rep to figure out how many points he is worth?

Sort of... the more " Thanked" you see, the higher the rep... under your avatar.... oh, wait... :sqerr::sqwink:

Papa

That wasn't the question. Would I be able to see your Rep Points on any windows any where?

Only if you are a member of our special group... :sqlaugh: :rofl:


If I repped ya, you would get a hundred and thirty some thanks basically. That would require a certain amount of beer, in exchange (sorta an upsell) :sqwink:

Papa

I gave you the answer as best I know... you can get a rough idea by looking where I told you. Maybe a mod can see something I can't, though I tried to find your rep and couldn't.

Okay so I looked at Papa Statistics and he has like 8887 points but if he dings me how many does that take away from me?

117... though I think I have only ever dinged 4 people... and they are no longer here because they were racists, or spammers.

I would NEVER ding anybody unless I found a post to be especially repulsive and / or trouble making.

LOL, Cesar, you may drive me nuts, but I don't think I would ding you....

Cesar, have you ever thanked or repped anybody...?

So can you get a ruling on a Red Ding or do you just have to live with it?

Cesar, have you ever thanked or repped anybody...?

Cesar has pushed that "thanks" button a total of 4x. :sqerr:

I'm just posting here so that I can read my stats right now.

Papa it was 5 times I've pushed the Thanks the one that is missing was for the GoodKnight.

Aw...my stats suck...but, hey! It says that I'm "A Real Pro Full-Time Businessman DJ"!

Awraaiiight!!!! :thumbsup:

I think I have been dinged by the same person twice?

quite possible if you annoy someone that they would ding you.

I think the amount of rep you give out adds to your rep too...If anyone want's to try just go ahead on this post :sqwink:

I am such a selfless human being :sqerr:

Cesar maybe if you thanked more people, they would thank you more and youd have more points to consider in dinging. If you have 8000000 thanks like rick or papa, then 117 might not be as many, if you have 4 or 5 than it is...

for good candor i thanked you every time in this thread

Cesar,

There is some mathematical equation at state which involved voodoo economics, the rate of inflation, along with the other persons rep score logrithmically squared times the inverse cotangent of pi.

Truthfully to my knowledge not to discredit Dan, but Dan nor I fully understand the equation, and wading through the forum code could be exhaustive, our forum software is VBulletin, maybe try their forum to get an accurate answer.

I think the amount of rep you give out adds to your rep too...If anyone want's to try just go ahead on this post :sqwink:

I am such a selfless human being :sqerr:

Sorry Jeff, that's the best I could do. I think I've given out too much thanks for the next 48 hours! :sqwink:

I might have to take a day off so the REP counter can catch up with me... :sqrolleyes:

Apparenty I have pased the love around too much today too :sqlaugh:

Papa

What Papa was trying to say is that the meter under your user name represents your rep power (although nobody can explain what the colors translate to). So look at Papa's...his is worth 117, now look at mine...I am worth 33. Best I can figure, somebody with no gold bars has less than 30 rep points and the gold medal (Rick & Fred) has at least 130. That may sort of help you roughly determine somebodies rep power, especially if others chime in with their numbers so we can compare them to their meter.

chiming...

So if I get dinged by the same person that is rated at 130 points - I loose 260 points because he doesn't agree with me.

Seems like a system that needs to have some checks and balances to it.

Or does it even matter at all? The visitors and members of this site can fairly easily tell who is worthy of a decent rep and those who aren't.

Then what is the purpose of the points?

It creates a pecking order of sorts.......so I can continue to peck at you behind the scenes for your petty posts. :)

I tried like hell to help you get more points last night.. no one was really feeling it

I used to only use the REP button if I really liked a post. Most times I just used Thanks. But, since there is no 'No Thanks' button, I've been using it as such. Don't be offended, it's just what is available.

If I repped ya, you would get a hundred and thirty some thanks basically. That would require a certain amount of beer, in exchange (sorta an upsell) :sqwink:

Rick - Well then, let's grab a six-pack, and have a chat! :sqwink:

I really dont know what to say about this crazy thread.
Breaking it down to school girl math for some that need it

Say you were a bully in elementary school
The teacher devised a plan whereas everytime you complimented someone you got a nickel but every time you were mean they took away 137 nickels, well eventually, and pretty quick for some, you're going to be out of nickels and actually owe nickels. So that will cost you hypothetically $6.85 every time you're mean to someone. You take 1 step forward and 137 steps back.

FYI- Dan and The admin staff/moderators did not design the software it is Vbulletin, while they pay to not have a freebie board that often goes slower there is only so much customization one can do with any software like this.

Instead of figuring out or trying to beat the system, do as it is intended and you wont have anyone dinging you.

What happens if you go negative on points?

ive got no idea.. wanna try it?

That's why there are limits in place so people cannot abuse the system. For instance you cannot double rep some one. You cannot red rep someone then go to another one of their posts and red rep that, you have to rep a certain number of other people before you may rep the same person again.

Overall the system is pretty smart and haven't modified the defaults as I'm afraid of throwing off it's 'mojo'. :)

@Cesar if you go negative those green and gold bars turn red. I haven't see anyone in the red here.

On some boards you can go into automatic suspension.... not sure about this one.

DJ Dan

Would you say the last bad rep I got was a abuse of power considering the question I asked?

I'm not sure what situation you're referring to. Link me/explain or something. :)

Generally speaking we don't police rep. It's a member to member option just like private messages. If someone left you red rep for what ever reason it was based on their opinion. If someone is abusing the system by continually leaving just red rep or continually rep repping one member, we'll look into it.

DJ Dan

I guess your check and balances aren't working because I've been dinged by the same person in the last 6 minutes 3 times. Lets see yesterday I had 574 point now today I have 424 point all because of one individual. Nice system.

5 by the same person: 1 positive, 4 negative. I've removed 3 of the negatives..PM on the way to the member.

well i cant give you another positive cesar i have to spread it around....you know it would help the overall cause if you hit the thanks button every now and then too or gave rep. You're so worried about yours and rarely give out any yourself.

Ohhhhh. Now I get it. It's better to tap the scale than just to leave a thanks?
Ok I will do that for all.

I'm fine, man. Guess I better go and feel your scales...

I thought that in order to see someone's Rep score you had to have a Secret Decoder Ring. ;)

It creates a pecking order of sorts.......so I can continue to peck at you behind the scenes for your petty posts. :)
But how many peckled pippers can Piter Peper peck?

Fred mustve gotten in the system seems im suspended today from giving out any more scale tipping... LOL

Dam

When you get rep by the big boys your points really shoot up.

Thanks for the rep chuck.

I didn't even know that existed. I thought it was all from thanks
