Anonymous Rep...

Would it be possible to modify the rep table in the UserCP, so that
it displays the name of the user who gave the rep, and maybe also
whether they agreed/disagreed?

It's just that when a non full user reps someone and doesn't leave
a comment, there is no way of telling if it was intended as ++ or --

Good suggestion - (can't rep you).

I've recieved a number of those, but have no idea whether people were agreeing/disagreeing. Maybe just color them differently? eg: white for agree with no rep power, and gray for disagree / no rep power.

Good idea. (I cant rep you atm either.)

you trolls, it's already color coordinated, green is postive rep and red is negative, grey is neutral (not a full user).... if you've gotten any negative rep recently, you'll see it, but you guys, simon and cheif, both have the highest rep counts so far so I doubt you get many --'s :p

You mean there are down reps?!?! :D

I meant:



if ($user_has_reppower == true)
{
if ( is_positive( $rep ) ) { $color = 'green'; }
else if ( is_negative( $rep ) ) { $color = 'red'; }
}

else if ($user_has_reppower == false)
{
if ( is_positive( $rep ) ) { $color = 'white'; }
else if ( is_negative( $rep ) ) { $color = 'gray'; }
}

No, I don't have many reds, but I have a lot of gray ones, it would
just be useful to distinguish between --gray ones and ++gray ones.

I almost just brought this up in a different thread... glad I checked. :o

While I'd really like there to be a difference so you can tell whether it's +/-, it'd be more amusing if the two greys were made 1 hex value apart... test that eyesight!

I think it would be good if it had a 'Given By' column so you can see who gave you the reputation.

Just noticed that's what Cheif said in his post too. My bad ! :o

edwinbrains agrees: you didn't help me, but I'm just doing what you asked in your signature. Can I have my free cookie now?

aitken325i agrees: I'd love a free cookie too !

A ha, ha, ha.
*awaits the barrels of rep--*

Yes, I agree given by would be good... I know Chief said it, but it got lost among the is it ++ or -- debate.

@Burning Snowman... it will be while before they rep-- you, they gotta spread some love around first... watch out for the proxy reps though...

The ++ or -- minus debate was summed up nicely by Simon: even
though some users have no rep power, and give you grey squares
when they rep you, they still had to click 'Approve' or 'Disapprove'.
There's just no way of telling which one they clicked on the way it
is at the min.

So what specifically are you suggesting? Lay it out in black and white and provide a step by step and we will see if we can get it implemented.

The point of the rep system is to encourage good answers, right?

Therefore, how can we know if a new user is agreeing or disagreeing with something? Both their positive and negative rep clicks are shown as grey on the usercp (and not shown at all in the thread).

For example: I got one the other day. On the usercp it's listed as:

MySql query not working April 3rd, 2005 10:35 PM

Did I help the guy out or not?

Is it possible to change the color of the reputation dot for those new users to distinguish between an agree and a disagree.

Or, maybe you could change the listing in the usercp to show 'agree' / 'disagree' (maybe for everything) eg:

<threadname> <date> <Agree: user's comment>
<threadname> <date> <Disagree: user's comment>

--Simon

<threadname> <date> <Agree: user's comment>
<threadname> <date> <Disagree: user's comment>
I like that idea, but can it be amended so that it appears like:

<threadname> <date> <given by> <Agree: user's comment>
<threadname> <date> <given by> <Disagree: user's comment>

I just think that it would be handy if you could see at a glance in the user cp who has given you rep as you can see the usernames of the rep you have given. Is it possible ?

nice job on the agree and disagree things, although that green is a little bright :) I'd prefer just black text with the agree and disagree.

are you going to make it say "Agrees!" and "Disagrees!" when there is no comment too? :p

Currently we are not recording the reputation status, whether users select Agree or Disagree. We just record their reputation power, since new users have 0 reputation power it is hard to tell whether he is give positive or negative reputation. We added new column, now it records user selection agree/disagree. And also we put a colored word in front of the comment in USERCP. So users can see whether new user given pos or neg reputation. This will start to work from today, there is no way to detect old reputations status given by new users.

ok cool, are you going to add the comment to the post for people with 0 reputation power?

We are working on that and hope to have it done in the next 30m or so.

Script changed to track given reputation (Agree/Disagree). This will help to see the reputation received from new users. This will not work for old reputation already given by new users. From today onwards this will start to track the reputation given by new users.

Works like a charm, thanks!
