Maxman Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 As I mentioned in the other thread we just upgraded the site to IPB 4.2 and we are currently working on the theme. There are many new benefits but for now: 1) Thanks for your patience while we create the theme (paint the walls) -and- 2) Let us know what you prefer. The old reputation + / - system or the new like buttons (reactions). We can go with either system, just vote and tell us what you want. Thanks.

I remember waking up to the messages, "was up until 4:30 trying to upload Pitfall into the arcade. Think I figured it out but I need to write another 2000 lines of code and I have to get to work." And I'd be like, "we have an arcade?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoubleDown Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I like the feature where a post gets highlighted after getting a certain number of upvotes. Does it work the same way with the new emojis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoot-Face Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I like the old reputation. See, if I got an upvote on one of my comments, then I knew I'm special. It's the only reason I post here. I could easily see on every one one of my posts exactly how many people think I'm awesome. It was simple, yet effective. The new emojis just make me confused. I mean, does the laughing emoji mean they think I'm funny, or are they laughing at me? What are they thanking me for? Does that mean they don't think I'm funny? I need to know the answer to these questions. For my e-peen. In all seriousness, I do prefer the old system. Just my 2 cents. Real questions: how do the new emojis affect reputation? Do the other emojis affect a person's reputation? Does "liking" or "haha-ing" increase rep just like simply upvoting? Does "sad" and "confused" decrease it?

Looks like the emojis should give us the ability to do the same basic stuff + or - but just be a little more expressive in the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxman Posted August 11, 2017 Author Share Posted August 11, 2017 So I just figured this out but you can have neutral rep (Confused and Sad). The others are all either + or -. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxman Posted August 11, 2017 Author Share Posted August 11, 2017 Butt fumble has been added as a negative rep. Maybe Joe Willie in a fur coat for positive rep? Apparently these are pretty easy to configure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYs Stepchild Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I would suggest that with each neg rep your typeset gets smaller. Some real world incentive would really improve the discourse around here. Thank you and have a pleasant tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warfish Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I like having +/- Rep counted, gives a good metric for how we (as a community) feel about a posters contributions. As to what mechanic creates those +/- reps......don't care. I'm simple, so always like the simple +rep and -rep, but really kids love their pretty emojis, so why not give them that option. As long as the various Emojis translate to +1 Rep and -1 Rep is a somewhat clear way, I'm all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JETSfaninNE Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I picked reactions since the Like/upvote is there with added emojis for those posts where I don't want to dislike but I want to show my confused or sad state of mind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never understood this rep thing as a metric for anything when people rep their own posts to inflate the counter lol. Whats most important is highlighting the best posts in each topic/thread imo. In that regard the rep/like/upvote is still there and it looks like it bases these popular votes off of total amount of like/upvote/emoji used, so it works for me!

Rep, to me, is an a way of giving a subtle nod. I use it for content that I find funny, intelligent, helpful and/or well executed (in terms of being provocative).
