    Default Revised Reputation Permissions

    Part of the Forum upgrade includes making the reputation system work the way the board intended.

    Reputation is ment to show a new user how "good" (for want of a better word) another users reply is in relation to tech information.

    To achieve this, reputation can now only be given in certain sections.

    Please use the reputation system as it is ment to be used, and not for buddy rep or lol rep as it currently is.

    Everyones reputation will be revised in the next few days in one of 2 ways, either

    a) Rep will be removed from the sections where rep can no longer be given

    or

    b) All rep will go back to 10.

    This will depend on the time it takes to remove rep individually. a) will take weeks, b) will take seconds,

    Further to this the permissions that you need to qualify for to go from "registered user" to "Priviledged user" (with classifieds access) will also be altered now that the board has an idea of how fast rep can grow. This may be advised once a final decision is made on the parameters for that promotion.

    Again - Please use the reputation system wisely. Pos rep for good info, neg rep for bad info or off topic chat and provide a useful comment when pos/neg repping some one. Blank comments may be deleted.

    As of Now abuse will not be tolerated and will result in the person who recieved the rep having it removed, and the giver of the rep going back to 10.

    Cheers

    In 'General Car Talk' there are dedicated threads for most groups of toyotas and a lot of the time some VERY useful posts are made within these threads. If people should be getting rep for supplying this information are they now just going to have to post in the tech area and link to the dedicated threads?

    The rep enabled areas are still under discussion. However the dedecated threads are the main areas where buddy reping occurs.

    The current thoughts are: if a question is asked of the dedicated thread. it should be asked in tech and linked to the dedicated thread. this makes searching easier in the future.

    I cant argue with your logic there Simon.
    Perhaps those guys should start up dedicated model specific TECH threads - like my "for the love of a tractor engine" thread was originally intended to be, just full of info for the 18RG.

    Glad to see rep system undergoing review, and I personally dont care if it goes back to 10 for everyone.

    I too agree to the separation of dedicated owners threads, possibly into a "dedicated owners discussion" thread in General Car and a "dedicated owners tech" thread in Tech. I subscribe to most topics that I post in anyway, so in the long run it doesn't really matter where the thread sits as long as I can find it once

    In removing buddy-rep, I know mine will go down a bit, was on the receiving end of a fair whack from the KE dedicated thread . Still, if it means that rep actually has some significance again, then so be it.

    dedicated discussion and dedicated tech?? bit much innit? could just make a new subforum for dedicated car threads and have the dedicated threads moved into there and all discussion/tech is contained within the one thread for each model. like that all the "general car" threads not worthy of rep can be left in there whilst the dedicated car threads haveb their own subforum which has rep enabled

    I agree with having a dedicated tech thread sub forum in T&C, that way they are easier to find and hopefully people will look in there before posting new threads.

    I think however the Conversions subsection should be pruned back and a lot of the threads shoved into the Members Rides section.

    The dedicated threads have a lot of good stuff but occassionally from time to time there is a little bit of bollocks and not specific tech so it is a tough call for whoever the decision falls on.

    I don't mind keep the the tech area all tech and NO BS because that's what it should be, pure useful information and nothing else. The dedicated threads allow for good information but a slightly more relaxed conversation.

    so why not make a "dedicated threads" section separate from general car and tech? then u dont need to worry about rep in general tech anymore whilst the dedicated threads still can, as they are obviously extremely useful

    yes i know. hence the making of a dedicated car thread subforum rather than moving it into tech. they dont belong in tech, and dont really belong in general car imo. all the threads are there already (KE corollas, Z10/Z20, Adub, St162 etc etc) they just need to be moved over.

    just a suggestion anyways
