Ok what do those little green bars mean?

yeah, but "mattrocks3 will be famous soon enough"
can someone explain the dopey sayings attached to the green bars which have no rhyme or reason?

Ok those sayings are stupid, why even bother having them? groggerbug they might be calculated by someone else, but it's still the members giving the feedback for the other person to calculate. And the ratings are always always for every member going to be positive, it just matters how much positive there will be. Unless the member is a scammer or has done wrong unto one of the members here I can guarantee right now there won't ever be a negative reputation. I think they're unnecessary, but they don't do any harm either. I doubt the people on RLOL will look at the reps and only reply to the ones with the highest green bar numbers, things will continue the way they have with everyone being equal regardless of the green bar issue IMO.

Then if they are indeed unnecessary and will all be positive anyway (with, ahem, some folks being 'more positive' than others) and the Mod's can simply disable the stupid things, then why not TURN 'EM OFF?

Why don't we just talk to the site designer about getting this reputation system removed.

I was kind of hopeing that the new site would have somesort of a feedback system.

Why do we need feedback here Matt? This isn't Ebay..total stranger A dealing with total stranger B.
All new members are screened before being able to deal here. *shrug* So basically everyone here SHOULD be good to deal with. We've been going to great lengths to get that info.

Board feedback on RLOL would just a different form of those goofy green bars IMHO.

Now if you had a board where anyone and everyone could deal...well that's a different kettle of fish.

F.

The reputation system works only if there aren't cliques. They use it on other forums I'm on and it just allows the "oldtimers" to bully the new guys. Say an oldtimer has a huge rep score, and gets his panties in a wad for no reason...he neg reps the new guy, sinking the new guy into a red rep abyss. Its not a fair system in that sense...and it gets abused.

True, everyone on here has been screened before getting membership but that doesn't mean everyone is perfect and flawless to deal with. I can remember some transactions on the boards where other members had to step in and resolve issues and a feedback page would point that out.

heres a link to the issue I recall. [URL]http://toycars.redlinesonline.info/vb/showthread.php?34673-Looking-for-Tattooed-Bard&highlight=tattooed+bard[/URL]

Forget the green bars I want the Member to be changed. I know they can do it and I want Dibs on "Python Follower":D

Trivial Persuit...

The green bars/rating system seems weird...Adams point is an example...

What I question is how, right out of the gate, everyone had different ratings???

I think I'll go rate Greg in a negative way since he's begging for it!!!!:001_tongue:

It is related to the rlol "casting" system. I see people with tons of posts and only 1 bar so it cant be that.
