whats up with rating. why people take it so seriously here?
-
what ll you get if you get let suppose 10k or 100k points? or what if some people start devoting your every comment?
-
most of programmers are here to get information. rating a article ok thats good but why for comments. and every thing you write here?:confused: edit confused symbol added
I agree as well as dis-agree. We must be lenient to new members and must not down-vote them, unless they have reached a specified level of (say 2000 rep points. and reluctant to posts by troll and similar as we are now to others who have been here for some long time.

Re 100K points: It depends what classification you get the points in: For Debator you get the Golden Keytop of Tharrrg: a level 43 "C" key with an automatic downvote to any post by CSS. For Authority you get the Q&A Button Of Doom which automatically emails the OPs' tutor with a copy of the question. Well worth the wait, I can promise you!

The worlds computer science tutors would all close their email accounts. They would get a flood of emails just before every assignment submission date :laugh:

Speaking of CSS... Looks like he fell into the waffle dough. Haven't seen anything from him for quite a while.

He was trying to buy a new lappie in April - I thought he had been sectioned, but no - it is possible that he can't find the "on" button on the new one...

I like the process by which you draw your conclusion, but not the conclusion itself ;P

Yes, I remember that he posted something about that. This means we have another few years until he gets enough money to do so and come back here.

Aren't you a bit unfair to him now? He also manages to find the valve of his inflatable girlfriend. :)

Kudos, partially, and also certain rating levels attract abilities not offered to those of a lower standing, such as editing rights. Next question?

I must admit this is one area of CP I have reservations about too. Rating articles I understand, but lots of folks do seem fixated with the scoring of points for its own sake, I don't feel it adds anything, except to a feeling cliquiness that I'd avoid in most circles. Editing rights I have even greater reservations about. If someone bothers to write an article, why should anyone have the right to alter it without the original author's permission? Most writers in other fields would feel aggrieved by this. I'd prefer a system where the originator is contacted first, e.g. "Would you like me to help rephrase your question? I guess you're not a native English speaker and it could be clearer."

Yes, but he's had a lot of practice with Inflatable Irene.

I often edit Q&A questions, for the sake of clarity, and always state the reason for the edit. As you say, some one whose first language is not English may have asked a question, and whilst a native English speaker may be able to translate, to someone else who is not, the difference may be too much. I edit for the following things, Grammar, Syntax, Spelling, Clarity and Readability. I think it just makes it easier to others to answer if the question is clear, unambiguous and attractive. (Think of a large bland tract of text, some people will just switch off and move on).

Why not? there are different kinds of reputation so... - You can see if the person that is answering you is a well known community member or not. - You can punish bad behaviors. - You can ban members (I've seen it only once in ten years). - You can make some messages to disappear. - You can improve the value of some members if their posts are good. - If your reputation is big then you get some extra-rights. - ... After some years of being here I can say that it works well so kudos for the people and hamsters that helped on the design of that... :thumbsup:

Why not? It provides a measure of how "good" a response is: that lets people decide whether to post something in a similar way. It allows people to see how "good" or "bad" an answer is likely to be: A high Authority reputation implies that it comes from someone who does know his stuff. It also provides a mechanism where we can tell that other people think "this is a pillock, avoid him" (negative rep) or "This guy knows what he is talking about" (positive rep) without having to remember each and every single one of the nearly 8 million members...

Just kidding. Balanced out the pillock's vote. :)
