8960 Triangles and scales

Trying to fathom this new reputation thingy. On my own post I have a scales, which if I hover over it says something like "Add to annec's reputation". When I click it it tells me how many "reputation points" I have

I don't have any scales on other peoples' posts

The triangle road sign seems to be to report "naughty" posts.

And congratulations to Charles Phillips who seems to have gained a massive instant reputation - well deserved I'm sure!:laughs:

I will simply take a bow, annec. I am, however, reliably advised that the 'reputation feature' is not yet working properly - which clearly explains my new found (and very temporary!) fame.

Well I've just added to your reputation (in the interests of science, naturally!) and you've shot up from nowt to something rather impressive.......I might have to buy a lottery ticket this week :jiggy:

I wonder which is better, a high Grazie count, or a whopping reputation.......hmmmm I can't bear to think who might have a low reputation but the gratitude of many, apart from (ahem) Mrs Robinson!

Ok - reputation - the easiest way to explain is to just show you the rules so please have a look at the two images attached.

The first one shows the rules - rather complicated and we will have to tweak them to make the sensible but it gives you an idea of how things work. Basically the sum of it is the more your are on the forums and the more posts you have the larger your reputation giving power - also the more reputation you have the more reputation you can give.

This second one show the different titles - suggestions on how to change them are welcomed :yes:

Is any of this useful.. I guess it could be... in the meantime just a bit of fun.

Oh and yes - you cannot take away reputation because given our predesposition to fights I can see lots of fights developing quickly. Philosophy is - if you have something nice to say give reputation - if you don't agree then just say so nicely :bigergrin:

The rules seem to give an incentive for pointless comments? (Like this one.)

Oh, Steve ... you've lit the blue touch paper there mate ... II'd stand well back now if i were you!
