Guest | | Rep System Expantion (19th Dec 09 at 1:42am UTC) | | I have never really used the rep system on any of the forums here, but from what I see the wait time is defaulted at 1 rep per ever hour, and thats in regardless of who was rep'ed. I think maybe adding an option about the wait time so that the users can chose how they want the wait time to work, like "Per Member" and "Total" so if they chose per member, and set the wait time to 1, they they can only rep that member once within an hour, but can rep other members, but if they select total, they can only rep one person per hour and no one else.
Just thinking of ways to make the Rep System more fixable.
In in doing this I also got thinking maybe adding an area to the modify profile area that only those will the selected permissions can see, and the option will over rule the default settings for the rep. It work great to manage the rep'ing of people that are abusing the system. You can from their, disable the option for them to use the rep system, limit their rep times, and everything else. | |

Basically, if you were to rep me, it'd go up by 1. If I were to rep you, it'd go up by 3 or 4 or something like that (can't remember the exact formula!)
If you set it per user, then someone could go and rep every single user every hour. Whereas at the moment, it stops it getting completely destroyed and becoming pointless. | |

Guest | | Re: Rep System Expantion (22nd Dec 09 at 4:13pm UTC) | | | awesome, I have almost all of it figured out, oddly enough though some of the codes act funny, from time to time, speaking of which, mind if a pm you a code and have you look over it and maybe you can figure out why its acting weird? | |
