have you people noticed the judgement

Karen · 05-13-2009, 12:47 AM

I have no idea how it works. I'll have to learn. And I see no scales - is that because I use Firefox?

I don't think there was any moderator feedback on this - Gareth just decided we could give it a go again, and hope it is not abused like it was last time. I missed all that happened last time as I was not yet a moderator.

And here I thought only God could judge????

I think we are all adult enough to decide a quality post for ourselves, it almost seems like some form of censorship. Isn't rating threads adequate for content worth checking out sufficient?

If I remember right they were removed for a good reason. Because people would abuse it, and do it anonymously. I think we're all past looking at little green boxes to determine a level of quality, or lack of. The reputation thing was removed and should stay that way. It's much to elementary.

i realy do not like it at all !!!!

Hi
I was about to make my first post for many months. The first thing I became aware of was that I started policing my thoughts instead of just pouring it out of my heart.
The "green box feature" feels bad, and should be removed IMO

Please don´t rate me as a bad poster for writing this... (see what I mean?

)
Well, it´s nice to be back on the forum, though
Hugs to all Avalonians

Your thread seems OK now.

i have to agree with dantheman ... this feels very elementary ... i recall playing something of similarity in grade one ... recall we all became more fixated on the evaluation process rather than learning the lessons at hand ... why we were there in the first place ...

and we are doing this now?
are we not moving forward from this type of game playing ... to me this feels like we are going backwards ... particularly now ...

we are moving through huge planetary changes right now ... greater will the momentum be ... i can't see we'll have time to entertain ourselves with this game of old ... so much focus on judging our brothers and sisters ... there won't be time for it ... not like the old days ...

separating our selves as we once did gained no positive results and detained our evolution of moving onwards in oneness ...

respectfully ... i feel this newness to be very old ... a little silly at this point ...

We could all just agree on IGNORING this little silly green box in the corner, and go on with business as usual. Its up to us if we use it or not.

when I snap my fingers, you are awake and there is no box, in fact there is nothing at all. You took the blue pill and wake up in your bed and it was all just a dream. The world is like it should be, go on with your life.

Not it's not because of Firefox, it is because I use the Minty forum skin. I see a heart instead of scales.

Default is Avalon Electric. If you want something cooler on the eyes Minty is the way to go. If you can't read the lighter colored type in Minty, just select the area, then you can read it. The button is on the bottom left. To switch back the button moves to the bottom right.

I see everyone who has anything to say on the matter does not like this new reputation thing. But in the mean time ... I've located it in the FAQ

What is reputation?
Reputation is a way of rating users depending on the quality of their posts. If the administrators have enabled reputation, then the reputation icon will be visible in posts.
Reputation may be positive

, negative

or neutral

. Negative reputation may only be given if the administrator has enabled this. Neutral reputation is only given when the person giving reputation does not meet the criteria set by the administrator to affect someone else's reputation.
How do I give reputation?
To give reputation, click on the reputation icon in the relevant post. This will reveal a form to complete with the reputation type and the reason for giving the reputation. If negative reputation is disabled then it will not be displayed in this form. You may not give reputation for the same post twice.
How do I know what reputation I have received?
You can view the reputation that you have received in your User CP (User Control Panel) where it is displayed at the bottom of the User CP page. Here you will see the latest reputation that you have received and whether this is positive, negative or neutral. Your total reputation will be shown as series of reputation indicators in your posts and profile. The more positive your reputation, the more positive icons will be shown. The more negative your reputation the more negative icons will be shown.
How much reputation is given? What is reputation power?
If the administrator has enabled this, the amount of reputation that each user will give (or take away if negative) is shown in the user's posts as 'Reputation Power'. The value of the reputation power is determined by the administrator and may increase over time depending on the settings they have applied.
What if I don't want anyone to see my reputation?
You can disable the display of your reputation by going to your User CP and selecting Edit Options. On this page you will find a check box labelled 'Show Your Reputation Level'. Un-checking this box will remove the display of your reputation and replace it with the Reputation Disabled icon. You can still give and receive reputation while your reputation display is disabled.
