This topic may be edited an updated from day to day as our Technical Team discovers all of the new toys and treats our new forum software upgrade has for us.
Here's a Start:
- User Reputation: The Member Reputation system allows the board members to leave comments about one anothers' posts, and thereby contribute to their overall 'reputation'. Your personal reputation button appears next to your current Post Count in the form of a color square button, such as this: . To read a reputation of a member, place your mouse over the color button and your mouse will show a text line of the member's current reputation.
Technical Support can create titles for a variety of reputation levels, so that members are given a reputation title when they reach a certain reputation level.
Member Reputation in its simplest form is a ranking of a member's benefit to the overall forum. Its basis comes from the opinions of all of the forum users that choose take part in it.
Members gain and lose reputation based on how their posts are scored by other forum participants. Members with the ability to affect reputation, will either give or take aways points by approving or disapproving with a post's content.
Member Reputation can be a derisive element of some other forums on the internet, so great care will be taken as this new option is monitored over the next several weeks.
Member's are allocated so many votes per day so as not to abuse the voting system. Take great and careful care when using your voting privileges of a particular Topic or Comment.
