that Casinomeister's, Jetset, and Spearmaster have all had their repuatation go down recently. Is that as a result of the new parameters you have set?

Yes, that is correct. When I converted the forum from Discus to vBulletin a couple of years ago, the reputation points was a new thing. I thought people would use them more than they have been (until recently). So for most of the oldtimers, I gave them points that I thought they would have accumulated over the years prior - which actually turned out to be somewhat unrealistic. So I brought them down a few notches (to include myself) and the new parameters have an effect as well.

I noticed that everyone had either maximum rep or minimum rep with no in between. I gave out a few reps but nobody seemed to notice, which was a real surprise because when this type of forum came out at Wheresgeorge? in June, everyone went crazy with them. It has only been a few months and already some people have over 10,000 rep points!! It would be nice to find a medium where the points aren't abused and traded among cliques.

It came to my attention that new comers reputation green bar says that they are on a distinguished road while an old timer like me is on a distinguished road as well.I feel short changed and not been given the recognition that I deserve .I expect to be compensated .
Bugs definetely need to be worked out

But gfkostas, then I can't be on the same road as you and watch you moon everyone!

[gfkostas]

That's right

I ain't on no road with you newbies

Haven't read all this thread, so if my question has already been answered, sorry for being lazy

My question is, other than the green dots next to a user's name, how can you check how many rep points other people have? I know in your cp on vbulletin boards like this one, you can view the rep you have received good or bad as well as the the rep you have given. But I have never figured out, how to view the total number of points other posters have received - other than the green dots.

I think there is a plugin for this. I gotta check since this is a good idea.

I'm coming up with an incentive to get this going (with helpful comments from Simmo!).
