I noticed some changes to the forum. On the notices above the posts it mentions reputation points and karma points. What does that mean? Any one else confused?
 
I've noticed that too - Haven't figured it out yet. I am going to hit the "Poochlover11 gives good advice" button a few times, see if that does anything 🙂

Edit: Now is says your "OK" - Whatever...

Haha! I clicked on your reputation button and now you are "OK" So this is just for today (april fools)? I noticed my says "Cool"- prob because No Imagination clicked it multiple times. I wonder if it goes higher then cool. I think I will find out. 😀

you're cool? i'm just kinda cool
 
Sorry, No Imagination I can't give you anymore rep points-it says I have to spread the points before adding to yours. So far I have seen "Ok,Kinda Cool, and Cool"
 
Haha! Poochlover, I gave you some points and you turned into "Fonzie"! Hilarious!
 
I can't find what you guys are talking about (other than I see little reputation bars underneath people's names) but WHOA I just realized that the little icon on the far left of each post has an arrow in ones that I've posted in!!! It's AMAZING! I always have trouble remembering where I posted! WOOOOO!! LOL yes I'm extremely slow apparently.

There should be a little square underneath reputation that is either green or not green. If you hold your mouse over it it should pop up with something that says the person's screen name and whether they are cool, kinda cool, etc. If you click on the silver thing that looks like a pendulum at the bottom then you can add points to someone's reputation.

If you hover over the little colored box under the word 'reputation' it'll have 'username *reputation level*' pop up.

You can click the deformed scale - looking things and add rep to people or take it away.

Also - I know the feeling - it took until a couple weeks ago for me to realize that there was a button on the main forum page that would take you *straight to the most recent post* in a thread 😱
 
Wow. This is complicated.

This is like the facebook 'poking' but even maybe a little bit lamer.

But it makes me wonder, what happens to my rep, if I get negative feedback? *hint* *hint*

:poke:
 
Why thank you kind very much.

Ha, ha! I made you kinda cool again. It doesn't take much to go from being uncool to kinda cool. Is anyone else having high school flashbacks?

woah...DVMorBust.. your reputation exploded
 
Wow...I guess this thread is where the "cool crowd" is 😛

Interesting observation nevertheless, I wonder if it is something that SDN is going to keep for the long term...it could be useful...
 
it all makes me wonder....is fonzie the ultimate in cool? or can you be even cooler? I'm going to add more points to Poochlover and see if there's more to come.....
anyone else wondering who the uncool equivalent of fonzie is?

11 bars seems to be the ultimate you can get, where 4+ is "Fonzie." With a couple of red bars, it says "kinda lame," but beyond that, it just gives your username.

I'd bestow some points on you as well, but I'm all repped-out for the day.:cry:

that's a shame....i think they need to tweak it a bit then!

I agree - could be a good way to warn people of trolls! 😀

It would be, except there's a ton of reputation-gathering going on right now. Also, with no immediately-visible post-count, it is now (slightly) harder to play spot-the-troll.🙁
 
+rep to those in this thread

So is it established that this is just for April Fool's or not?
 
Myuu said:
Not sure they'd tell us if it was. I guess we find out tomorrow.

How did you give everyone so many rep points? I was only able to add rep points once to each post 🙁

I think you have to give rep points to five others before you can give the same person points twice. Plus, I've currently got over a million points (thanks, 2013ers!!! 😀), and I think that plays a role...
 
all the sudden I am a 10+ year member??

That's what the voices in my head tell me...:laugh::laugh::laugh:


I have no idea what's going on with the 10+ year thing at all, though. We're all pretty baffled in pre-allo.:laugh:
 
Wow, guys! I go away to do a LITTLE research and now everyone's Fonzied. Anyone else think that cheapens it a bit? I mean, now it's not THE Fonz, it's A Fonz.

Way to jump the shark, SDN...*shakes head*
 
Ok, what's a plebe and why am I one?😕

A plebe is someone with no reputation points. And you don't have reputation points because no one's given you any yet.😳

I'd give you some, but I'm all out.:cry:

I just checked out the pre-allo's post about rep points. It was hilarious! You are guys are so funny!
 
Lol, thanks Poochlover11! 😀 So is it Plebe to Fonzie or is there other stuff in between?
 
dyachei said:
Other stuff in between and negative stuff as well.

Plebe - ok - kinda cool - cool - fonzie

It was that way earlier, but now for some reason if you just add one rep to someone's profile it jumps to fonzie regardless of where you start.
