Who wants post counts back?
Started by DrReo
You can still view post counts in public profiles, although that is a pain in the *****
Post count just tells you who has been around the longest. It doesn't mean they've said anything really worthwhile (that statement doesn't reference anyone on here, but I've seen it on plenty of other boards). But post count is a pretty standard stat to have by every username, so it's weird that they removed it.
I don't get this reputation thing. I guess posters just rank you? How do you do that?

Could you have a single post and have a good to go "green" reputation? Or is there a magic number?

Gee, a popularity contest! Just in case this wasn't enough like high school already... 🙂
This is kinad stupid. I would think that anytime someone agrees with someone they will just click the good post thingy. It is a matter of opinion if a post is good or not.

Underneath your avatar there are three buttons on the bottom. The middle button is to rate someone. You can give their post a good rating or a bad rating.
Well, now you see that the rep system isn't too important either as I just put you in the red. 😛
👍
What we need is a button to rate the merit of the "reputation" concept.
This is from the SDN forums front page:

I haven't decided how I feel about this yet. The post count was kind of nice as it was a passive way of (semi) determining a member's reputation. But, it also was not indicative of post content. The reputation button is an extra step that I won't always remember to do. As a result, it may not be fully representative of a member's rep. Oh well, what's a man to do?
lol crap, now I look like a troll!
no but now you really do.
more negs!
Payback is coming your way. Just you wait.

this is funny.
hahahahaha like i care about rep in an anonymous forum hahahaha go for it! hahahaha
I think we all know that, in dental school, reputation is all that matters.
Have fun with the reputation bar in these first few weeks, I see lots of very high and very low ratings which will even out once people start using the system responsibly. You can find a primer on the way the system works here: http://forums.studentdoctor.net/documents/RSBprimer.php
I hope you all embrace the system as it's meant to be used, the discussions on returning the "karma" system has been a heated one in the mod forums for the past month or so.

how is this scored? i have -43000 as well! what wrong with a simple scoring system, like -1?
Armor please remember that any policy discussion by the staff is not for open discussion with SDN members. The link that you have provided has now been taken down.
this is pretty dumb... I posted a few times after this rep thing came out and Im already around -53k.
That's because you're still a relatively new member.
wow.... dont let us lower class posters get too informed.....
I think someone is looking for some rep points.....
. BTW, I feel much better..... because Im fonzie now.....
Edit: well, I was about an hour ago.

I apologize, I just re-read the discussion. Apparently that won't be made available to the SDN public until the 10th.

Damn you! I had worked my way all the way up to -13,000 something!
How do you even do that? I can only rate people once and then I get a message telling me I have to rate other people before I can rate the same user again.
Well, first you need to be in the positives. Just rep 5 people between each rep. So, rep person X then rep 5 others then rep person X again.
I just saw who gave me a couple reds...... thanks doc....
aheeheeheee, i am enjoying this rep system too much. Need to take advantage of it. 😀
I think I am the only person who has been giving out reds.
