an useful tool (http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?action=ezportal;sa=page;p=25)I lost 2151 ratings in F-Zero?? O.O
Aww, I need more respect to see what got me respect...I give you random respect and you give me random respect until we both have 50! >:D :P jk
Lol why is there a restriction on people who have less than 50 respect?
I got two downrates but I wasnt rude or anything I know what the posts are and it wasnt rudeWell it depends. Did the post add anything useful to the conversation or were they just 3-word posts or even a post saying "/me lost" outside the spam section. Sometimes people gives downvotes not only for rude posts, but also spammy or messages they consider useless.
was the post apparently I got -2 on this post and and regular rated on the otherwhy was I downrated?(not yet compatible with CX, sorry).Darn /me wants it for the cx
Oh god, I posted something just like that on the same thread D:Oh it's the question that did? It might be because some people saw it as a complain about negative ratings (which used to be against the rules)
Wait,
"Darn /me wants it for the cx" wasn't downrated, but
"why was I downrated?" got -2.
That makes no sense
Lol. This is a great tool. I agree that 50+ to view is too high. Lower it to like 20. Or 25. (I passed the +50 just a month ago and I am here over 1 year)Maybe that means you don't deserve it./me runs.
[...]I found this tool quite informative, if not useful. It satisfies my curiosity as to what posts of mine got up-rated and helps me figure out what I said wrong if it got down-rated.
Netham45 also came up with an useful tool (http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?action=ezportal;sa=page;p=25) so you can check which posts you got up/downrated.

Perhaps replacing the minimum respect requirement with a minimum post requirement? If the intent of the restriction is to prevent new users from making drama out of downvotes, that seems to make more sense.I'm still in support of the whole minimum respect thing, but now that you mention it, it would seem like a good idea to impose the restriction using both respect, and post count. Minimum respect so the person has an idea as to what's acceptable in the community, and a minimum post count to give the person enough time to figure out what the community standards are. Once those two are satisfied, it becomes more unlikely that they'll start up respect drama because, as you might have suggested, they ought to know better.

I agree with the notion of lowering the respect requirement. I think that, for many, it is too high of a number to easily get to.Yeah in the past I noticed certain people for example just posted new project threads before the project reaches a presentable state just to get extra points and I even saw people begging for respect points. Although this rating system is at the mercy of the Internets and inside jokes or funny ones ends up with lots of rating like on Youtube comments, or friends/allies of certain people rating each other's posts, it should at least in general be to represent if a member who have been around for a while contributed positively to the site. If you only post random messages that are like 3-4 words long and barely anything relevant, or if you are consistently rude to other people, it's inevitable your note will be much lower. Also the rating system tends to make people be more careful about what they post.
Also, I think this encourages people to start making posts just for the sake of getting respect and they would make those kinds of posts on purpose just for the respect, rather than making them innately as we ought to be promoting. 10 - 20 would perhaps be a good target number as it would be a number that would take time to get to, but it would still be something that people know they will eventually obtain. Not a high number that would make people want to "cheat" to get to. :P
Other than that, Thank you so much for finally making this possible! :P
Note:Spoiler For Spoiler:
i just noticed the order in the list, how does that happen? it's like random? or is it me being tired?Gah!!! you're talking about the new tool, right?
EDIT: why not make it +50 respect or 500 posts?I support this. Our previous policy on the respect system has always been to deal with those who abuse it on a case-by-case basis, and 500 posts is a pretty reasonable number.
In case of newbies I would assume that it'd be easier to find the posts that got rated since there are fewer posts that could be rated.I'm kinda new, one month here.
...and +24 :PIn case of newbies I would assume that it'd be easier to find the posts that got rated since there are fewer posts that could be rated.I'm kinda new, one month here.
I have like 700 posts though D:
thats cool, but why not base it on posts?Exactly! why not?
You had a big inactivity period there, though, didn't you?

Nope, I was active for every month from when I joined till when I got my first 50 respect ^^
Yeah that was recent though ^^ And also Z it probably has to do with the increase of helpfulness of my posts :PYou had a big inactivity period there, though, didn't you?

Ah, okay. That was you that took like a 4 month vacation, though, right?

Since it's mildly on topic: Spamming respect, either positively or negatively, is against the rules. You're allowed to use it for when you genuinely feel a post deserves a +1 or a -1, but spamming to help users reach 50 or whatever constitutes abuse.Yeah true. It could be seen as vandalism or an attack against a forum member depending of which post got rated and in which direction.

Personally, I still think the minimum respect should be lowered. To me it seems to alienate members like me who have been here a while but don't pull in huge amounts of +1's.
I think it would be perhaps best to either lower the respect count, or add in a minimum post count that a member could alternatively fulfill. I think by then they'd have an idea of how to handle +/-1's.
But as it is right now, it makes the tool seem like an "elite" privilege that only very respected members can view. Because, at least from my viewpoint, +50 is __not__ easy to get to.
The issue is that the users with lower respect are generally newer, and those users tend to react much more violently to getting -1'd than the more seasoned members. We've seen it happen quite a few times where people blow up after getting -1'd when they don't agree with it.I wont blow up when getting -1 cuz -1 wont make me blow up but if i cant see my -1 then ill blow up instead of blowing up with -1 but ill blow up if i cant see -1 because of people blowing up, but i wont blow up if you let me but ill blow up if you dont let me see what you say will make me blow up, but now ill blow up.
^ Jokes? Wow. And I also agree with homerThe issue is that the users with lower respect are generally newer, and those users tend to react much more violently to getting -1'd than the more seasoned members.

/me blows up
With -5, people could still mass downrate.yes, but all his posts had like -16, and he had 22 posts, so therefore, with the -5 limit the worst he could get is 22*5=110
Some of us downrated every post that some user had posted because of lots of spam. Downrating all the spam posts got him down to under -250 O.O
But thats still pretty much a mass downrate :PYeah I mean the mass downrating would be much less bad that way. Also the user that spams gets banned for vandalism anyway.
Yes! Yes!!Yup, Darl's right. The only way Netham was even able to make the list you see was to use data that does not store the timestamp. :/

Not complaining, but I just lost 3 respect but it didn't show up on the list. Does it take time to update?
Update: We decided to remove the limit on respect points, so now everyone can see how much respect he/she has.
epic7, I just made a bookmark to it in my browser :POh. Good idea! :P
