Narutoforums Reputation System FAQ

[Kunoichi no Kiri]

-=Narutoforums Reputation FAQ=-

Q. What is reputation?
A. A system designed to rate the posts and actions of other members.

Q. What does reputation do?
Besides identifying someone as a good member or a bad member, not much.

Q. What are the requirements to give someone reputation?
Both of the following:

1. A minimum post count of 50.
2. A minimum reputation of +10 points.

Q. Can I be banned/penalized for having a bad reputation?
No, having a negative reputation or recieving many negative reputation comments is not, by itself, grounds for a ban. However, it is difficult to
get more negative rep then positive, and the same poor behavior that leads to poor reputation can lead to a ban.

Q. What are the requirements to receive reputation?
There are none. Anyone can recieve reputation.

Q. How much rep does one start with?
10 points upon registration.

Q. How do I give someone reputation?
On every post, there is a scale icon beneath the user's avatar and personal information. This is the reputation button.
Click it on the post you wish to leave reputation for, select either "Approve" (positive reputation) or "Disapprove" (negative reputation) and, if you wish, leave a message. Then click "Add to Reputation" to complete the process.

Q. How can I see how many reputation points I have?
There are three ways:

1. The number of green or red bars next to your posts (see below for details).
2. The message you see displayed when you place your mouse over the light bars (see below for details).
3. Click on User CP (on the bar at the top of the forums), scroll down to the Latest Reputation Received box, and look at the top right corner. You will find a number on the right side of the orange bar signifying how many reputation points you've earned ("___ points total").

Q. What do the green/red bars next to my posts mean?
Each bar signifies that that you've reached a certain level of repuatation.

Q. What do the messages shown when the rep bar is hovered over mean?

This is another function of reputation levels. It does not directly contribute to how much power to affect others' reputations a user has.

Rep Ranks:

*note: as of November 3rd, 2006, the rank of "much to be proud of" at 1000-1500 rep has been changed to "bearer of wisdom"


Q. How do I see the reputations I've been left?

In the User CP, under latest reputation recieved.

Q. How can I figure out who gave me a reputation comment?

Unless you're a mod, or a Super Moderator or an admin checks your profile for you, there is no way to be certain. The only other way to know is if they leave their name in the rep, or you can figure it out by the comment they left.

Q. What do the colors in the reputation recieved window signify?

http://forums.narutofan.com/images/reputation/reputation_neg.gifNegative Rep: You lose points.
http://forums.narutofan.com/images/reputation/reputation_balance.gifNull Rep: Member who repped you doesn't meet the requirements to give rep away. You're points stay the same.
http://forums.narutofan.com/images/reputation/reputation_pos.gifPositive Rep: You gain points.

Q. How many points do I give with each reputation?
Rough estimate:
-For every 7 days, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power.
-For every 50 posts, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power.
-For every 1000 points of reputation, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power.
You start with 2 points of reputation power.

Note that negative reps only have HALF the power of a positive rep.

Q. How often can I leave reputation comments?
You can only give reputation to between 10 and 20 people in a 24 hour period, depending on how much time you wait between each. Giving many reputations out in a short period will quickly max you out for the day.

Q. Why can't I rep the same person again?
To prevent abuse of the rep system, the number of times you can rep the same person is limited based upon the number of reputation comments you've left in all and the number you've left that particular person. If you find you can't give someone reputation, you'll have to rep other people before you can rep that person again.

Q. What's the difference between reputation points and reputation power?

Reputation points is the amount of reputation you have in total; reputation power is the amount you change someone's rep points when repping them.

Q. What is rep abuse?

Rep abuse constitutes the following:
1. "Repwhoring" - Getting involved in a circle of friends to rep each other as much as possible and/or continually asking for rep, either with or without contributing something to be repped for. Even if it is only back and forth between two people constantly it still counts as rep whoring.

-Rep me and I'll rep you back sigs.

-Basically, if we see that you are repping people back for no other reason than to boost their rep amounts the staff will intervene as we see fit.

-Making threads asking for people to rep you.

-Posting "REP ME" or any variants that are synonymous to it in any and all threads on the boards.

-Sets that suggest rep whoring or "REP ME" are up for interpretation.

-Asking for rep via different mediums. (IMs, PMs, Rep messages etc)

2. Leaving nothing but or almost nothing but negative reputation comments for people in general.
3. Leaving nothing but or almost nothing but negative reputations or repeatedly leaving negative reputation for the same member.
4. Revenge negging (Member A neg reps Member B, Member B negs Member A back). Meaning do not neg someone just because they negged you. However, the staff may not punish you if it is seen as a legitimate neg even if it is in a short time frame. The staff may not act if we believe the rep in return is valid or if the person does not have a history of doing it. If we see you baiting a member in a rep just so they would neg you back we may rep ban you instead. in a neg youAlso do not ask another person to neg someone for you because you are unable to neg them at the moment.
5. Gang Negging (Getting a group of 2 or more people to go and neg one or more people).
6. Going in to opposing Fanclubs just to neg one of its members or associates. There is no reason to go into an opposing faction and neg for something you don't agree with when you shouldn't be there in the first place.
7. Using flaming, cursing, and insults in reputation comments.

Acceptable use for positive rep is to reward a post, thread, set (Avy/Sig), and/or contribution (Pimps, translations, etc). Acceptable use for negative rep is to disapprove of a post, thread and/or set (Avy/Sig). Any other motive for repping (positively or negatively) is rep-crime and is subject to sanction including extended or permanent rep ban and/or large or complete rep cuts. The staff are given wide discretion, sometimes complete discretion, as to the interpretation of your rep behavior and, once accused of rep-crime, the burden falls upon the accused to prove innocence. Furthermore, staff are given wide discretion, sometimes complete discretion, as to the sanction to be incurred for rep-crime and may include behavior unrelated to the rep-crime when determining said sanction.

Rep abuse is serious misconduct, and can result in
1. Your reputation being disabled/put into the negative
2. A ban(seal), slash, and/or rep reset

Questions, comments or concerns can be left here.

oh im back down to glorius beacon :(

ah well, no probs ill get back up there

why did they change the names around?

[Kunoichi no Kiri]

Because to me, "Glorius beacon of light" sounded just a LITTLE better then "much to be proud of"

[Gooba]

Sweet, I am glad the mouseover provides more info. And I just hit "honorable bastion of truth" a few days ago too. Thanks for updating the info for us.

User is a cheaterI love it. Is there anyone that this applies to now? I thought KK and NN deleted their uber-rep.

[theoneandonly]

Yeah, they did... But in case they ever get it back, there's a rank waiting for them. :pleased

Nice Dani. At first I thought I was downgraded due to the recent barrage of negreps.

Awesome...according to KnK's list of additions (I can do addition :laugh) my rep is over 100, as I had originally thought :thumbs

[DOK]

i give more than 100 points wootwoot

[Lord Yu]

what happens if you get to cheater? just wondering.

[Gooba]

what happens if you get to cheater? just wondering.If you mouseover their rep bar it says "User is a cheater"

Not too exciting.

[jkingler]

Way more than a hundred....
Can't a guy be facetious? :P

Anyways, it has come to my attention that several folks have attained "Celestial" status. Since there is no way we'll ever get to "Cheater," could one of you lovely higher-ups kindly add another rank for us to strive for? Like "Divine," "Ethereal," or something uber-awesome like "Orgasmic"? :D

I just don't want to stagnate, ya know? :wink

[asta]

how many rep points can a member give to another member? juz wondering coz i really cant believe that i reached 2000 positive rep points even though im a newbie ^^

[Sex]

Nah, I only make new ranks for myself, and I have no idea what my rep is anymore. :P

[Gooba]

Anyways, I think it will be nice to retire from the whole "worrying about getting more rep" thing once I hit 50k.

[jkingler]

Ah, no more ranks, then...

*jkingler skips off to the rep retirement home, breaking both hips and a few teeth on the way*

[Reznor]

Nah, I only make new ranks for myself, and I have no idea what my rep is anymore. :P
I think you should enable it again.

[asta]

oops i must have missed that ^^ Tahnk you 4 pointing it out ^^

[Heldensheld]

Wow, thanks for the help!

No wonder I can't POSITIVELY rep people no more.

[Gooba]

Wow, thanks for the help!

No wonder I can't POSITIVELY rep people no more.No, that is unrelated. You had your rep disabled, everyone else can still rep.

[Kyuubi Naruto]

User is a guardian of the faith: 15,000 to 24,999

That should be my next area once I get less then 1000 rep :)

[Kunoichi no Kiri]

Two new Rep ranks,

User is Ascendant for 100,000 points, and
User is Transcendant for 200,000 points.

I'm the only Ascend at the moment. :knk [/shameless]

[Wave]

whoa, aint that creative ;o
will there ever be another one for a million?

[Kunoichi no Kiri]

Maybe one day. :s

It's getting ridiculous. It took me a month to get a full rep bar (and you helped considerably :love) and now I can give a full bar with one rep. :x

[Wave]

consider lowering the rep power for each new level? (and your welcome :love)
then again not sure if you guys are willing to remodify the rep system again

[Dyroness]

Wrong, I have 100k+ rep for much more than a week now >D
The new ranks are pretty cool. Will there be others? I think it's enough already :oh

And I agree with Knk, the reps are just too powerful. I rarely ever rep anymore - now I understand Spectrum's reasons to it.

[Norb]

Too bad you can't give "n" number of rep points where 0 < n < (the max you can give) it would work out for ppl like dyro XD who have an insane about of rep .__. [/silly idea]

[Reznor]

*cough* . . . .

aaaalllmoosst

[Gooba]

Looks like I am out of early retirement for a while. 13k to go, and I think I am gonna not bother trying to get 200k.

[Kunoichi no Kiri]

You bitch. :guns

I used to avoid repping - but I hardly care anymore. If I could completely reset the reputation system, I would - but as it is, let the rep points flow. :dance

[jkingler]

A question: Is there any way that we can make the green bars matter more? Like 1 green bar for every 5 or 10 (or however many you deem appropriate) rep points?

It seems kind of silly to have the bars mazed before you reach even a small fraction of you repping potential :P

Either that, or make 200k something really flashy--like 1 gold rep bar :laugh

[Gooba]

I think I remember this coming up before, and NN said it wasn't doable. Sorry.

Hopefully I am mistaken.

[Kunoichi no Kiri]

Nope, we can't mess with the rep system in any way whatsoever. It's built into the forum software. :(

[Sayo]

Nope, we can't mess with the rep system in any way whatsoever. It's built into the forum software. :(
keeps the newbs busy :sarc

[Kunoichi no Kiri]

Avoiding annoying a senior member and being sent to hell with one rep? :huh

I remember when I was so freaked out that you could give 2 bars with one rep. XD

[Sayo]

Avoiding annoying a senior member and being sent to hell with one rep? :huhahum, . well . . anybody likes pie in here?

I remember when I was so freaked out that you could give 2 bars with one rep. XDXDDDDD

must have felt pretty powerfull back then =X

[kumagoro_usagi]

Oh that makes sense. Thanx!

[Reznor]

Nope, we can't mess with the rep system in any way whatsoever. It's built into the forum software. :(
Try reversing the polarity.

[Gunners]

some senior reked me with one negative rep rite from 10 all d way to -482

[Ah B]

500 points...that's pretty darn powerful.
*Must remember not to attack seniors and above*

....and for the sake of spam, I WANT A PIE!

[jkingler]

@Gunners: did you deserve to be neg-repped? It's funny how people never mention that part when they gripe about getting negged for a lot :laugh

Note: It wasn't me.

[Gooba]

I know who it was any why they did it, it was called for.

[kapsi]

500? Reps should be reset.

[Gunners]

yh it was kinda called for what i said was pretty harsh.

[Ah B]

Well, maybe you posted something that offended someone, or you were just plain ignorant or foolish in a post. It tends to happen, don't worry about it. Rep isn't all that great, it's only useful if you have 2000 posts and have registered for over 4 months , in which then, you need 3000 rep points (Senior Membership).

[Gunners]

ok i neva knew rep= higher ranking

[Sayo]

posts make the ranking, not the reps. . .

he talks about senior membership for wahtever reason . .

[Rashnefein]

While this rep system you all have set up is cool and all, isn't it really no different than constructive or destructive criticism, afterall forums are for having fun, answering questions, and making friends with others, are they not? I hope it doesn't turn into a problem for you all, because there is a similar system setup on my friend's site and everyone abused it until we higher ups voted it off. Though being a noob as I am, I vow not to beg or abuse the rep, it's not as fun when it's not earned.

[clockwork]

A question: Is there any way that we can make the green bars matter more? Like 1 green bar for every 5 or 10 (or however many you deem appropriate) rep points?

It seems kind of silly to have the bars mazed before you reach even a small fraction of you repping potential :P

Either that, or make 200k something really flashy--like 1 gold rep bar :laugh

Thats a good idea, I made a rainbow rep bar once/ I want it ='(
Too bad the system is unchangeable

[kapsi]

^good idea too, it could be like this: first we gain the dark-green squares, then they change into light green (gradually), then into dark blue or something...

[Svenjamin]

What does it mean when someone is "Ascendant"?

I have noticed that rank among the mods mainly, Dyro, Sayoko and I think a couple others too. It's not listed in the main FAQ.

To Knk: Is it you that decides what the ranks are and at what point they are earnt? Just how much control do you have over the rep system?

[Katara]

^ It just means the user has 100,000+ rep points. Transcendant is 200,000+. There's no one at Trans yet, right?

[Tehol Beddict]

Means 100k rep, and transcendant is 200k. Neither are on the list

ascendants that I am aware of:

Dani, Dyro, Sayo, Gooba, Moe, TO, Kingler, and Myself

[Dani may be transcendant, I have no way of telling for sure, but I know that her rep-power is mighty]

[Gooba]

You forgot moe.

[Tehol Beddict]

dammit.

And moe is one of my favorite people in the world too >.<

/is a failure

/adds Moe

[Sariachan]

Q. What is rep abuse?

Rep abuse constitutes the following:
1. Repeatedly leaving negitive reputation for the same member for no good reason
2. Leaving nothing but or almost nothing but negitive reputation comments for people in general
3. Using flaming, cursing, and insults in reputation comments
4. Leaving someone else's name with a negitive rep

So the one who gave me a neg rep with these words "SHUTUP, YOU FUCKING MORON!" has committed rep abuse? Some mode should take care of him/her, since I'm tired of people neg rep me without leaving their names or at least write a polite explanation fo it.

[Tehol Beddict]

eh, you'll be alright, I got a better one than that yesterday and I'm not complaining. In fact, I loved it. Awesomely random neg rep:

That's quality.

[Kunoichi no Kiri]

I can indeed set the names and levels of rep ranks.

No one's transcendant yet, but Dyro should be there in another week or so. You might have to give me two weeks, I don't rep whore.[/cheapshot]

Wait, so if your rep is diabled you can still get rep points and give out normal rep? You just won't have the rep rank showing, never knew that.

[Sariachan]

eh, you'll be alright, I got a better one than that yesterday and I'm not complaining. In fact, I loved it. Awesomely random neg rep:

I complained only because reading the rep rules I though I could. ;)

[Tehol Beddict]

We shall see who does whore not first transcendant there to get, dani, we shall see

You can turn it on and off KB, but you still get them either way, you just can't see. You have to turn it back on to see who repped you and what they said.

Of course you can, but it doesn't mean you have to sariachan. Just a thought.

[Sariachan]

Why not? °__°

[Dyroness]

I can indeed set the names and levels of rep ranks.

HURRAH! :spaz

[Svenjamin]

hahaha i was about to rep dyro just to see if it got him there, but too late! :)

So Dyro has the most rep now, what is his/her rep power??? (sorry i dunno if ur a boy or girl dyro)

There was this one rank i saw on another site "User has reached Nirvana"

perhaps that could be the 300k mark?

Unless you want something more original. Ummm here's mine i just made up:
for red bars:
"User is Satan's butt monkey" or 'love-child' to tone it down
"User is an abortion"
"User has no mercy"

and for green bars:
"User has conquered all fears"
"There is no match for User"
"User leaves a trail of love"
"User has a godly smile"
"User is a blissful figure"
"User deserves a shrine"

hmmm... well it took some time, but i came up with those, dunno about the trail of 'love' perhaps another word would fit better, but hey I would love to contribute! :D

[Tehol Beddict]

Hooray for Dyro :knk

[Reznor]

You forgot moe. You forgot Poland.

[Tehol Beddict]

You forgot Poland.

That new fishin' resort? That's a nice place.

Where, oh where, has ninja grampa been? I think I'm the only person that found him to be genuinely Land O' Lakes hilarious XD Though the timing of his absence did help confirm a suspision of mine...

[Svenjamin]

Here's something I posted in another thread, and wanted to bring attention to it.

It bothers me heaps too, because I have been a member since the end of March, and why am I only at Paragon of hope? I doubled my rep to about 9000 with a thread I started on a certain manga character being underestimated. And since then, I have been posting about all other Naruto related things and really making my contribution. But no rep for ages. And it makes me wonder what other people are doing when I see they are Luminary or Celestial and then I check their join date and...:amazed

I remember when KnK was Luminary, about 4 months ago i think?? and now people rep eachother over little things and the rep system is inflames heaps.

To me, Transcendant is the new Luminary, and it won't be long at all before some noob comes on, makes a few contributions to the captions thread, makes a few people laugh, doesn't really post anything too informative, and scores himself 11 green bars.

And there are others that dwell in the fanclubs and other little threads that just don't seem to matter much at all, and then someone with high rep power gives em a little rep... and we have another Luminary.

I see the rep system not as like a popularity thing, but like a system where credit is given when it is deserved. I admit I have repped a few times over silly little things, and especially bother to rep those with one red bar after looking through some of their old posts and realising that it must have been some moron who simply disagreed with their opinion that took away their rep power and imediately labled them as 'neg-reppable'.

I wish there was some way around this problem. I'm just damn tired of not getting the credit my posts deserve.

...Am I one of the only people that has realised this problem? Or is there some way around rep inflamation? People have waaaay too much rep power these days.

[The Sandwich Prince]

Rep isn't all that important and I stopped caring about it awhile ago. However, if you'd really like some then I'd just head into the agony thread.

Does this address deserving rep versus popularity/whateverthehell rep? No, not really, but you can't change 31,000+ members unfortunately, and I don't expect anyone to do rep police because it simply isn't that important. I'd just deal with it. It's just a forum.

but i wanna feel special :sad

The fact that people abuse it and what-not kinda makes it redundant. It's pointless if it's not taken seriously, but I guess you're right about the police thing.

[Tehol Beddict]

Then, I guess, you [svenjamin] should either get with the program or stop bitching about rep, huh? If you know what does get rep then what you think should is of little relevance. Either seek it out if it is that big a deal to you that you don't have it or quit crying because you refuse to do what you yourself have stated that you know it takes. Not that hard kiddos.

Either embrace your inner whoredom or quit bitchin' cause you ain't got the money. If everyone stopped paying to see movies and bought hookers instead, guess what? Movie stars better spread 'em or get used to being poor. People pay for what people want, not what you think they should want.

Get all the reputation you want for posting in-depth and important things, but that depends on how many people wanna pay for that service. People dont give you what you think you deserve, they give you what they think you deserve. Lots of people will always care about secks, and I'm a damn good whore when I feel like doing it, hence my massive rep. Besides, if you're shallow enough to whine about not having it, then you're just as bad as any other whore here. If you make the long, meaningful post for the conversation it is in, then you should be fulfilled knowing that you've made it and said your 'important' peice and people have listened. But as it stands now, you're just another in a long line of hypocrites.

Get it out of your head that you're owed shit and get to earning it if you want it. And if what you're doing isn't getting it, then change what you're doing or stop bitching, as I said before. It's rather simple. You do not get to decide what the 30k+ members on the forum think is worthy of reputation.

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=reputation

And since, as you can see, reputation for what is not specified except for by the individual msg left, then it is to be decided by the public. If the public gives you a lot of rep for being a whore, then you are highly reputed as a whore. If it's for something else, then you're reputed to be something else. Nowhere does it say click here to give someone "reputation as a long-winded poster". So you're gonna have to go ahead and get over yourself and the thinking process that says you get to decide what should and shouldn't be reputable.

Are you for real? You think I'm a hypocrite? You Think I'm "bitchin" and "crying"? Geez get a grip. I simply voiced how I felt about the rep system getting lousy and abused. I never "cried " or "bitched" to use your words.

Perhaps you should learn to perceive other people's posts a little better rather than exaggerate what they really mean to beter suit what you have to say.

Besides, that comparison between rep and money is completely useless. Money gets spent. Repping someone does not meanre rep is spent, it's simply a matter of clicking and typing.

All I was doing was saying how I'm sick of the rep system losing all it's purpose, and that I wasn't getting the credit I deserved. I don't need you telling me that it's what everyone else thinks I deserve, I'm well aware of that. But I think I'm enititled to complain about something when infact there is actually a problem. The system was created for a purpose which no longer is taken seriously by many members at all.

If I know what it takes to get rep (according to you), and that it involved dwelling in the useless threads that revolve around conversation and fanclubs and what-not, I would hardly bother with it at all. It isn't a 'big deal' to me, I just feel that the system had potential and it was ruined.

And I would appreciate it if you stopped telling me I'm whining, that I'm "shallow", that I'm a hypocrite, a kiddo, whatever; seriously what is your problem. Or are you going on some big power trip because you are "embracing your inner whoredom"? I hardly think I have said anywhere near enough for you to judge me like that. The world needs far less people like you who talk down on other people because you believe you are better than them. And this post you did is close to prooving you are indeed that kind of person.

I don't care if you have been a member for longer than me, or if you have more rep, or if you are better aquainted with the mods or other rep-whores, do not treat me like some "n00b".
hooray for quoting... and common sense.

@Svenjamin: Sometimes it's things like that that earn rep. I don't post thinking about how much rep I'll get as a result of what I've done. I enjoy my time here and I enjoy the people I've met and keep meeting. It's not impossible to gain large rep in a short time without whoring. Check out this guy who posted in this thread right after you in early June.

Rep-whores? Yeah, I confess that I've contributed to a few of them, when they amuse me or are just plain great NFers. Get out and start socializing a little. It can do wonders for your outlook, even if it doesn't earn you rep.

[Tehol Beddict]

1. I am a self-proclaimed megalomaniac, so that's running on a treadmill. Have fun if you want the exercise, but I sincerely hope you don't want to actually get anywhere on it.

2. You are bitching, you are whining. You want rep for what you think you deserve it for and your ego in deciding that you have the right to speak for the entirety of the forum as to what is and what isn't deserving far outcompasses the scope of your being.

3. I never called you a noob. I don't call people noobs. Besides, I only joined a month earlier and I was gone for a two month period in the time I have been a member. I am saying you are wrong and a shallow and blatant hypocrite though. Those things, however, have nothing to do with being a noob.

3. The comparison between money and rep was what some people like to refer to as a metaphor: http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=metaphor and therefore not to be taken literally. You want it and don't have it, was the point.

4. No. You're not entitled...wait yes, you are entitled to complain about what the rest of the people do with it because you would rather it benefit what you want. That's called bitching.

4. You want rep/recognition for things that should be done for the purpose of doing them, not out an expectation for reward. That means that you're shallow. You bitch about other people getting lots of rep for the things you don't think are deserving, yet you created your own fantasy standard for what is deserving, the criteria of which is conveniently met by the things you do. That means you're a hypocrite. I don't intend to insult when I say these things, I merely inform you of something that it seems you are ignorant of.

5. No, I'm not on a power-trip [at least not as far as this issue is concerned]. I wasn't the one who berated the masses because I wasn't getting what I thought they owed me, and creating that definition of why it is owed to me to fit my own desires. I cater. Perhaps you misunderstand the basis of this sort of whoredom.

6. Hooray for common sense indeed: http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=common%20sense I hope you weren't implying that your last post contained it, though.

Hooray for double-standards :knk

No problem DH DF :wink It needed to be done and I got to make a point I had wanted to for quite a while in the process ^^

[Svenjamin]

Incase you cant count, there are infact 8 points there, not 6.

1. Hmm speaking of metaphors. Treadmills infact do get you somewhere, just not literally, duhhh.
2. When did I ever "speak for the entirety of the forum"?
3. I figured you would be familiar with that word, seeing as though you're already having a go at me. Here's proof, "I am saying you are wrong and a shallow and blatant hypocrite though." And do you always judge people this way? Just what have you based this crazy idea on? 1 or 2 posts? Hypocrite (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=hypocrite): And just what did I do to contradict myself? Or what did I act on that I don't believe. Please tell me since you obviously know me a lot better than I do, note the sarcasm.
4. And is that link supposed to make me look stupid? Knowing you I would say yes. And an 'implicit comparison' proves my point. There is no real comparison since the two (rep and money) are not alike. One gets spent, the other doesn't. It's not hard to pay something when you don't run out of it.
5. Fine, lets say I'm bitching. Everyone else does it. Now what. You can't change the 31k+ members on these forums. Sound familiar?
6. Enter the quotes.
"You want rep/recognition for things that should be done for the purpose of doing them, not out an expectation for reward."
This is you being judgemental. I do infact post because what I say makes a lot of sense. The fact that some don't bother to read my long posts or my posts happen to fall at the end of the page where they are quickly forgotten and passed by those that click on 'last page' is not my fault. I would just like a little appreciation for the effort and sense I made. There is nothing wrong with that.
"you're shallow. You bitch about other people getting lots of rep for the things you don't think are deserving,"
Uhuh... and what is your idea of deserving rep? Dwelling in all those useless threads like fanclubs and convo threads? The real members who got the rep they deserve are Cholisose, Kyuubi Naruto, Kimimaro Sama, Mizura and more. Members who actually write informative posts, not ones that are trendy because they hang out in the hot spots. Whether that is infact my opinion or not, it fits my argument more than yours.
"you created your own fantasy standard for what is deserving"
Don't try to twist it so that your rep is now suddenly more meaningful just because you got it the cheap way you did.
"I don't intend to insult when I say these things"
haha!! Right, I find words such as 'bithcing', 'shallow' and even 'hypocrite' not the least bit insulting [/SARCASM]. This makes you the hypocrite!
7. Don't lie. You are on a power trip, you thought you saw a bit of fresh vulnerable meat and you pounced. All just because you wanted to get your fix of internet ass-kicking for the day and come out on top. You are on a power-trip and it is because of that that this thread has gone way off-topic at times, and suddenly I find myself here defending myself. And over what, because we have different opinions? I did nothing wrong.
8. I was referring to the common sense in my post. Read it over and over and perhaps you will see.

God forbid I might actually care about and want to contribute to the forums I frequent on. Get a grip. And don't even bother replying because I sure as hell won't.

[Tehol Beddict]

Technical points first, since you called my counting into question when I was in fact labeling my own points independantly, not as directed responses to what you were ineffectively attempting to relay. That was done overall, the numbers were just to help you keep track of where you were.

1. In case is two seperate words. Incase is not, however, a word at all. The same deal applies for in fact. It's two words, whereas infact is not a word at all.

2. I'm glad that you won't be replying to your own post. Double posting is kind of frowned on when it's unnecessary, after all. Good choice on your part. Though I do disapprove of you telling me not to, as if it were your right to make that decision. Arrogance, once again. Don't get me wrong here, I'm arrogant as hell, but I'm not stupid about it and I don't try and act like I'm not self-righteously pointing fingers at other while refusing to admit that I do the same. *cough*hypocrite*cough*

3. You don't get to decide which metaphors mean what when they are delivered by me. There, you arrogance comes into play once again. Also, I directly noted that they were effective for exercise only, already leaving you bereft of point with your redundant counter-statement.

3B. You misinterpreted the metaphor's intention, once again, to suit your will when it's meaning was easily deduced by even the smallest of intellects. You'll have to bring something a little more substantial to the table if you wish to have a meal with me. In fact, you are proving my point with the metaphor by arguing that angle. Yes, metaphorically, you can get somewhere on a treadmill. That metaphor would be pertaining towards your personal goal to better yourself. So if you note the context in which I used it, you'll see that I stated that you could continue to do so if your goal was self-improvement, but if you wanted to actually reach a destination in the argument you'd have to pick a path that didn't have you running in place. *note - Hooray for smart people* None of this matters though, since I'd bet dollars to pennies this all stemmed from the fact that you didn't/don't know what megalomaniac means. You can look it up for yourself, I've covered a lot of dictionary with you and you don't seem to be getting any quicker on the pick up.

3C. The rep to money had nothing to do with spending anything baka, I said directly that the point was you want it and don't have it. You're taking things out of context serves no purpose but to make you look worse.

4. You spoke for the entirety of the forums when you decided that what they think deserved rep was wrong and what you think deserves rep is right. That was obvious enough.

5. Yes, I have based this opinion off of one or two posts. Unless you don't think like what you have said in your last few posts in reality...which would make you even more of a hypocrite. *note - hooray for corners and backing into them*

6. Let's say that you're bitching. Wait...I already did that. I'm not trying to change your opinion, just informing you and anyone else who may be viewing of how hypocritical and shallow it is. I'm pretty sure I've stated that directly before as well, as seems to be the case with most of what you're saying.

7. No, you're right, it is fine for you to think you deserve rep for what you say. I don't think you do, and they people that have the power to give it don't think so either, wherein lies your downfall. You can think whatever you want about it, but it's not your decision to make, never was, so you bitch because their opinion doesn't match what would benefit you, which makes you a :sad whore. Again, nothing wrong with that, I am quite the whore at times, but as I said before in regards to arrogance, I don't attempt to misrepresent myself to everyone. If you had came out and said: "I'm begging for rep for what I do while condemning others for recieving rep for what they do, and I realize this makes me a hypocrite and just as shallow as any other 2-bit rep-begger on the market but I've decided that what I do is special in comparison to everyone else" we'd have been fine. I would have probably chuckled briefly and went on without pointing out that what I just paraphrased as what should have been your statement was the condensed essence of your message.

8. My idea of what is deserving of rep is irrelevant in this particular discussion, the point is that the people that have the power to give you the little green squares which you so crave don't think you are deserving. I told you before that it wasn't your call to decide what did and didn't deserve to be repped from persons other than yourself. The same applies to me. I rep for the things I think deserve it, but my opinion as a singular entity is irrelevant when it comes to deciding whether or not 30k+ people opinions on what is deserving is right or not. But then again, I do have about 140k, so maybe I'm on to something :amuse

9. You don't actualy know how I have the rep I do, now do you? *note - hooray for ignorant accusations* Yes, I've gotten a damn well lot of my rep from whoring but I've gotten more rep than you have now from single posts that others deemed particularly excellent [notice I didn't say that I thought they were great because that isn't important when discussing rep recieved]

10. There is a difference between me meaning to insult and you taking it as an insult *note - hooray for smart people...again* I said clearly that I was but attempting to educate you about those particular traits that you are seemingly [still] unaware that you posses. I openly admit to the things I am, you accuse others of the things you yourself do and attempt to hide your true nature behind flimsy walls of pretense. That is, once again, hypocrisy.

11. Again, in response to the power-trip business, I assume that you are not aware of megalomaniac's definition. I said that in regards to that particular point, which had nothing to do with power tripping. In regards to the overall subject though, I'd like to point out your blatant hypocrisy, yet again. In fact, I can quote my last post to make the same point I made then, now. Though perhaps I should rephrase since you were incapable of grasping it originally, but I'm feeling a tad lazy, so it will remain verbatim: "I wasn't the one who berated the masses because I wasn't getting what I thought they owed me, and creating that definition of why it is owed to me to fit my own desires." Now, you accuse me of a power trip having said what you did originally? Please, tell me you can see your hypocrisy draining off of that like grade D beef in a foreman grill. How oblivious can a person be?

12. Perhaps my intention in regards to the common sense statement was too subtle for you, so here it is again and hopefully you'll understand it this time: It possessed nothing of the sort.

13. Care about and contribute to the forums then, but if that is truly your goal then do it for the sake of doing it. You try and appear the humble servant while demanding increased wages on the baseless assumption that your work is better than everyone else's, regardless of the fact that the house master has decided otherwise [that'd be the 30k+ forum goers, since you seem rather slow on the old game of throw and catch].

14. I care about and love the forums as well, but you are far too [and incorrectly so, I might add] arrogant in assuming that the places you don't hang out don't matter. Convo threads have never been my thing, btw. But it is the same that you don't contribute heavily enough to the debate and philosophy threads, so you must not be deserving of recognition because that's where I post the serious things I have to say and I never see you in a thread I speak in therefore your gain must be ill-gotten and frivolous.

15. You are a fool and have proven more against yourself by only listing the people that post in the area[s] that you hang out in as having earned their rep. By narrowing your scope of vision so, you have disrespected the names of Moe, TO, Dyro, Gooba and many more great people and contributors by assuming that if they don't post heavily in your area they are not deserving. It's either that or you are ignorant of hapenings outside of your bubble which further invalidates all that you have said.

16. Your folly lies in your ignorantly narrow definition of contribution and thus deserving as well. I feel no need to expand this statement, but do consult me if you would like to request further understanding if you are incapable of comprehending it on your own.

17. Ny the way, I read those posts you have in your sig to see if maybe there was a glimmer in the darkness, but instead I found them to be boring and re-hashed postings of things that have already been covered. They were neither particularly insghtful, profound, nor original. The ideas were all base two sides of an argument, supporter/detractor thing, you being the supporter. I was presented with no new information, no new perspecive, merely a statement of your opinion that wasn't even particularly well put. If you're gonna cry about not getting rep for something you define as superior...well, first of all dont, but if you do, you might want to make sure that it's a great post and not something repetative and mediocre at best.

18. Since you're slow at this, I didn't say my posts were better than yours in the above, I gave you my opinion on them in regards to whether or not they were worthy to rep-beg for. That opinion was no, btw.

19. You blatantly declare that you deserve rep for your wonderful posts and you just so happen to put those posts in your sig....that constitutes rep-begging imo, and you shall be properly negged for it, as well as for the hypocrisy you commit in bashing others for less crude ways of whoring while asking for rep in your own sig. Please enjoy.

ok here's a couple of things, for startes, that's a bloody cheap shot to attack my spelling. Like it matters. And just so you know I only read the first 2 points, I'm not gonna anger myself anymore (i don't care how many words that should be)

But this is what pisses me off so damn much.

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y74/shwebie/Untitled-1copy.jpg

You got some stupid warped idea from somewhere that i was begging for rep????? what the friggin hell gave u this idea!? no wonder u go on about hypocrisy. And by telling u not to bother posting because i won't ws a CLEAR implication to agree to disagree. instead u neg rep me and supposedly teach me some lesson? All i learned was that you ARE a fool. Geeez if we were gonna stoop that low i woulda neg repped u ages ago. Do you have any idea how long it will take to earn those posts back through decent, uncheap posts?

[Tehol Beddict]

That was what some like to refer to as irony. You attacked, under false pretext, I might add, my numbering so I only did that to show you that it's no fun attacking technicalities that have no relevancy to the point.

You would know why I negged you if you had finished reading my post, that's your fault, not mine. I explained it rather clearly, I believe.

I don't agree to disagree when I can prove myself, what gain is there in that? Then why even hold conversation? Quite a borsih way to do things, if you ask me.

Again, if you had read my post, you would know how long it takes me to earn many times that much, even from what you still have the audacity to label as "decent, uncheap posts". [I also addressed your idea of good posting in my last go, but you didn't read that either.]

You beg for rep, deny that you do it, perhaps out of ignorance, seeing as how you didn't read my explanation, and then cry because you were negged for it and whine about how you'll possibly get it back after having spent all of this time going on about how unimportant and stupid the rep system has become because it doesn't adhere to your made up standards. Sounds like -one more time for the chorus kids- hypocrisy to me. It's too bad you won't admit how shallow you are, you might make a good little whore if you trained properly.

[Svenjamin]

Oh my god you really think you are more tha me.

You still call me hyporcite, and you say I attacked you first?

I was saying i thought there was a problem in the system, I didn't go on to whinge and whine and make a fuss about it like you. When did this ever had to turn into a bashing thread?

can we just sort this out over msn or somethin

[Tehol Beddict]

Of course I don't think I'm more than you are, I just admit and am honest/open about the things I do, I'm not trying to hide/deny them so I can engage is elitist dismissal because I'm not at the top of the food chain.

Nope I hate msn, and I think we about finished. My point was proven, anyways. Unless you have something of value to contribute to the discussion? In which case I'd be happy to make a big public ordeal out of right here in this thread ^^

I see you engage revenge negging :amuse. And you say you deserve what and what is broken you little whore? :laugh

[DrunkenYoshimaster]

Im confused by the rep power thing. Did the system change again?

Cuz I was trying to test it out so I just repped a noob who probably had 10 pts and it only brought him to 4 bars and jewel in the rough which is like under 350 pts. But when I calculate my pts:
17201/50= 344 1829/75 = 24, 2 starting pts & 40 weeks so 344+24+40+2=410 pts. add that to the 10 he already had and it shoulda been 420 which should brought him to 5 bars and just really nice.
Am I doing it wrong or did the system change. I just got curious and wanted to figure it out.

[Marsala]

Stupid question: Whu is "User has much to be proud of" on the list twice? According to the list, it's the message for both 450 to 649 and 1000 to 1499.

every time u receive reputation, how many points is it?

[Reznor]

every time u receive reputation, how many points is it?
It depends on who repped you.

Their rep, join date and post count help determine the amount they give.

Took me Approx. 6 months (I don't count the months before that..I was lurker/tard) to reach Luminary and it means something to me, because I didn't whore myself out for it. This guy, however, is getting repped for the stupidest thread I've seen yet. Hell, there's no topic to his thread, and he an idiot. Not even a funny idiot. He has no artistic skills, apparantly. He's contributing nothing yet he has glorious beacon already, with 0 post count. WTF?

It took me 2 months to get mid-Luminary, i am crying over it? No. But, you guys moan about taking so long to get a certain rep rank. If you are uber active the higher rep you have, if you haven't been active but a high rep you are mostly likely whoring it or earning it at a slow slow pace. Its rep, its nor going to judge the outcome of your life or anything its just something to spice up teh forum experience.

It's getting more difficult to reach higher ranks. :ninja

[Last of the Uchihas]

fucking awesome.

Just 75,000 more rep point and u'm transcendant.

Yet more proof of how sad the rep system is. http://forums.narutofan.com/member.php?userid=5395
30 posts and already transendent

Admins changed his posts from 5.590 posts to 75 for some time because of his unbelievable repping power, and now its back.

Proof of how godly the system is. Don't like the system? Get the fuck out :notrust

It's a lesson well learned from the admins...:nod

I've looked and looked, so sorry if this has been asked (or is such a noob question that it's never been asked before), but what is proper rep etiquette? When you get repped, do you rep them back, PM them saying thanks, or just do nothing? Thanks.:sweatdrop

Most questions about rep can be answered here. Rep FAQ (http://forums.narutofan.com/faq.php?faq=rep)

Anyways. No you don't have to PM or rep back when you get repped. Rep is just a system to leave short messages about peoples posts. You give it to someone when you either approve of what they posted or don't.

It is always polite to sign ones reps tho. :amuse

[skmt999]

*pokes thread* FAQs need to be updated to include all the new ranks. Bleh.

[Chi]

I was thinking.. Isn't "green bars" thingy kinda useless now?

I mean.. There are a lot of members who can give you the full bar with one pos rep. Wouldn't it be, let's say, more interesting to raise the requirements for each new bar in, like, 10 times (or even 50 times).
For example (taken from FAQ), you need only 1500 rep points for "full" green bars..

they discussed this back on page 2 or 3. it's build into the forum system so they can't alter it. but i'll quote from there, "it keeps the newbs busy" i remember how exited i was when i got full rep bars XD

but on the FAQs it said the formula is rep/50 + posts/75 and days/7 when it should be rep/50 75 + posts/75 50 and days/7

[bloody_ninja]

i guess green bars are kinda ineffective somewhat

I never was in that high reputation thing anyway. And I give only 2~3 pos reputations in a week. And I only gave few neg reps at all..

[ANBUKakashi]

I have been given bad rep, but I didn't do anything to offend anyone (at least to the best of my knowledge). I try to be nice and polite while still giving my opinion. Why was I given bad rep?

[Kunoichi no Kiri]

If you check your usercp, generally people will give a reason as to why they neg repped you.

[ANBUKakashi]

If you check your usercp, generally people will give a reason as to why they neg repped you.

I did,but I dont see where I would check, and I dont have any messages about it. I have had 50+ posts for an hour and my rep is already -184 or something. Isn't that a little excessive? I'm just trying to understand the system and why someone would do this.

[ANBUKakashi]

OK now I am really confused. I really don't know whats going on. One minute I have neg rep, the next I am a "paragon of hope" Thanks for the good rep, but I still really don't understand what is going on.

[Kunoichi no Kiri]

The black bar at the top of the forum - all the way to the left of it. See "User CP"? Click on it.

I think I rep a lot more when I am in better mood. Haha. It's really tricky. I do think enough reps make me feel more comfortable as a poster to debate if I need to though. It's like your insurance.

It is just annoying when people leave you neg rep but are too chicken or too dumb to put their name.

[Jaxel]

WTF? How do I have +3145 reputation? I've only made 6 posts on these forums...

(prolly gonna get neg rep just for making this post... haha)

[Dark_wolf247]

A lot of the time you get reps in welcome threads. On top of that, people here seem to rep for no reason a lot of the time.

As for the point value--there's a lot of people with a large rep influence here at NF. It's not unexpected for someone who's been here a month or less to have a Luminary rep status (25,000 rep points, I think?). That's not necessarily a good thing, but that's how it is.

[Jaxel]

I didn't post any welcome thread... I've only posted in two threads in 2 months... the "Nintendo wins e3" topic (arguing that Nintendo didn't win e3) and the Narutimate Hero 3 FC (cause I run www.shishi-rendan.com)

[Mizoguchi]

You may have gotten reped for shishi rendan rep, your reps may shed some light on it.....

[Nico]

I think it's okay here. :amuse

I though of rep rank titles that could be useable.

User has a magnificent power of reputation.

User has a very good past, present and future

User has reached their ultimate goal and is ready for new goals

User has high hopes of scaling greater heights.

User has reputation worth trying to reach.

[Silver]

meh, the ranks are okay

[Dark Evangel]

I was just wondering if any member in NF has ever reached: User is God I also saw some other guy that has User is Feared by Itachi or something like that. It kinda confuses me because I never saw anyone in NF reached User is God.

[Aman]

^Those are custom. Not user is God though, but you'll probably need to cheat through the admin panel to get it. :P

Yeah I've been at fault for that in the past

I see a new member so I'll rep him as a nice gesture and bang hes a glouriuos beacon of light straight away. Took me 4 bloody months to get there myself :P Since stopped doing it

[Spanish Hoffkage]

Great rep increasing is now easier. We all have more reppower, there's a ton of sans pareil members and reps are bigger and bigger. In no time they gonna add more repstatus. KnK is even a Ne plus ultra with more than a million points. :faint

I don't know if it's fair or not. It takes three months to me to reach Ascendant and now we ascendants are just common random people.

i know :cry, after i finally reached ascendant, it just became so common:ohBack when it was rare I always wanted to be one, and all my friends were older and wiser. But now Ascendancy is almost pointless, as there's more ranks to achieve and even people in the first week of joining can get very easy rep. :cry

[Aman]

I remember when I was trying to get full bars... :laugh

Good times.

[Spanish Hoffkage]

I remember when I was trying to get full bars... :laugh

Haha, the same goes to me. It took various weeks to do that. Now I can fulfill a n00b bar entirely. :cry

[Aman]

There's almost a one year difference between us though, imagine how hard it was for me. :laugh

[Spanish Hoffkage]

:( And we ascendants are just random members. To be someone you need Trascendent minimun.

Even sans pareil are quite common nowadays :faint

[Aman]

I reached Transcendent recently though, like a month ago.

[QuoNina]

A lot of the time you get reps in welcome threads. haha... oops, I missed that chance.

Ugh... Actually I would be quite satisfied if I reach the level with 1500 rep power. The rep rank is less appealing to me. But repping a newbie with one lick and watching the green dot becomes a green line is somehow amusing.

And... Yes. It's just funny that I remembered my first rep comment so well like an imprint. And it's from a post, not a thread. :grin

[Spanish Hoffkage]

I will always remember my first rep, a neg one. "Ur an ass" :laugh

[xcry]

>< well I've been giving random reps...and I find out...that you need a certain number of posts to give out reps. ALL that work for nothing! O_O

But hey, at least I wasn't the only one that went through that. ^^;

T_T Ah well. I can probably do them again when I have the certain amount of posts needed.

[Vikio]

Gah, it should really tell you when you try repping that your Rep is null in power... :cry I mean, I've been making myself look like a fool until I realized my Rep was null. Thankfully, it's not so hard to get 50 posts. :P This post makes 49 for me...:nod

it doesnt matter, your rep power is less than 10..:oh

[Cæk]

I remember when I was trying to get full bars... :laugh

Good times.

I got full green after two months of being on NF :cry

[NaraShikamaru]

It didnt take me long to get a full bar as far as i can remember. Maybe 2-3 weeks. And i still kept it after a year and a bit =) Only like 2 neg reps. (that doesnt give you the power to neg rep this post to make it 3) :wtf

[Deranged]

2 days it took me to get full green rep bars 0.0 but then again, when i joined up i first wen to a lot of FCs, joined them and then made a banner for it... i believe half of my rep comes from that first week or two that i just hung around the FCs :oh

Hm, i didnt actually think of making a thread in academy registration... in fact the first tiem i went into that section was about a month ago :laugh

[Moritsune]

it took me about 6-8 months to get full bars :oh

[Neji]

i got full bars my first day, then lost them, then got them again:oh

[Mojim]

It took me one week to get a full bars :laugh

[Aman]

Took me months, can't remember how many though.

[Neji]

but back in 2005 no one really had rep, so it was alot harder to get rep than when i joined :amazed

[RockLee]

It took me quite a while, to say the least. I worked so damn hard. It's only gotten easy as of recently, but with that new system, it's gotten hard again. Oh well. :D

[graysocks]

I had less than 1000 rep until about 2 months ago >_>

[Cece]

2492 Rep points here! :)

And a little suggestion seeing that I'm posting anyway...

Wouldn't it be better if the positive rep bar started higher up? Because almost everyone has a full rep bar, for example me who has around 40 posts, and Aman who has 6,000... I'm sure that Aman has much more rep points then me. So it doesn't really look too fair. Of course with posts come rep--

Just a suggestion ;)

[Neji]

thats why there's ranks.......making bars harder seems to complicated :S

[Cece]

Yeh... Well I have a plugin in Firefox so that when I hover my mouse over the bars I see where the server is located... (Happens when I hover over images or links)

So I really can't look at ranks, I could by using IE but...
Anyway, the ranks are also a bit complicated, plus...Wouldn't it be much easier to just look at the bar to see ranking more clearly?

[Spanish Hoffkage]

I agree with Cece. Why not make a full bar just for a million points. Only two full bars then in all the forum right now. :laugh

[Ram]

So I really can't look at ranks, I could by using IE but...
Right click one of the bars, then select properties, and in the window, you'll get their rank.

it's not a problem...it's a new rep system for everyone....they have decreased the rep power to deter rep whores.....

instead of one rep altering point for every 75 rep points...it's now one rep altering point for every 1000 rep points

Lol, now I get why you said only that.

But not in FCs, academy registration or the blender, or threads that you feel are going to quickly end up in the landfill section. That won't gain you any posts.

It's more usual than what you imagine. Just think about it.

There are 2 types of new members...

Noobs: OmG!!! SaZukE izzz Da PimP!!!111
New Respectable members: Yes, I think it's like this because (insert anything reasonable here)

The problem is that there are way too many of the first and too few of the second.

Is that really something to be proud of? Full Neg Rep just screams that you can't even keep a normal conversation. I win and lose rep all the time however I believe that I can least talk with some people in a civilized way.

My rep loses went down when I stopped going to the Naruto section tough.

I don't know if this means anything, but I know I'm new to this site. But I made a welcome thread for myself, like a new person should.

[Kappa-chan]

I've got a question. I think it's a decent one. Is revenge repping considered rep abuse? Like if I neg-repped someone, and then they neg-repped me back just for that. (This hasn't actually happened, but I think that's just because the clicked the wrong button when they repped me.)

[Kagutsuchi]

Nope, that isn't rep abuse.

Rep abuse is like you neg rep multiple times without any reason, someone puts extreme hatred comments in the neg rep, or they neg rep you with someone elses name on it. (Thats evil).

[xx_hiei_xx]

What about when someone leaves you a negative rep because you were playing a forum game? (such as the Naruto Elimination Game) and the comment that was left was "Deep shit."
