    Otto, I think that the reputation system on the forums is a great idea but I have just one suggestion. Could you make it so that you can see what user gave you the rep? I think it would be better that way. Just my opinion.

    You can already on your user cp.

    I'm uncertain about reputation systems as on some forums they can tend to lead to rather polarised, provocative or even 'populist' posts in a strange back-slapping hunt for rep from known sympathisers?

    Cheers,
    Adam.

    I would have to agree with Von Poop on this one. But at the same time would probably award Kai and with the highest rep.

    I'd like to vote against the reputation system. For that I have ebay, and even then I don't have a 100% perfect because I once gave one seller a negative feedback and he took his revenge by giving negative feedback to all the people complaining about him and disappeared.

    So unless we have a pretty good safeguard against this type of guttersnipes here, I don't want to see it. We have done pretty well without it, why would we want that?

    Well it's all just in good fun. I doubt anyone here would misuse it. I participate in another forum that used the reputation system and there aren't any problems. I think it's good for sending messages to people instead of PMing them.

    The reputation system is going to stay with a few tweaks. As far as I'm aware, anyone on the WWIIF with a negative reputation has been banned anyways, so there is no reason to fear it.

    I'm still tweaking the reputations (they will eventually award WWII medals and it will be called "prestige"). Also, reputations are not only is it affected by user input, you earn reputation based on time served, number of posts, posts per day, etc. You can assign positive feedabck to any post, so I urge you guys to go ahead and give out good ratings to posts you think deserve it. In my eyes, the systme is not a way to give a black mark to a member, it an additional way to tell other you appreciate their input.

    This is a good idea Col. I'll keep this in mind when I revamp the reputation system.

    I vote against it for I have seen this system on other forums and it causes a backlash and a lot of nasty posting. I feel what we have here is OK, if you want to participate switch it on and for those of us who do not want it leave it off.

    Speaking of reputation, we should give a round of applause to Liberator who in Today in History everyday turns for us a new leaf in the calendar, with the patience and regularity of a Swiss clock.:cheers:

    Agreed Za, I look forward to his posts, and I don't think he knows how appreciated his contributions are. I think I'll head on over and add to his reputation right tnow...

    Is there any way to find out where your reputation comes from? I just noticed I have a fair bit but would love to know who has been so kind :D

    You must watch Flags of Our Fathers first though! Letters from Iwo Jima is a 'sequel' to it, and a few scenes make more sense or cause the "ohh..." factor if you've seen Flags first!
