Most Generous Rep Giver

[The Midnight]

Good explanation and not a bad idea. You should add this post to your OP. I thought you were looking for the most generous rep givers ever or something like that. Being able to see the given reps per a time period such as per week or preferably per month would be nice.

Well I think Mods/Admin peruse the Site Feedback threads pretty regularly anyway so hopefully they'll see this discussion.. but yeah I think a ranking like this of some kind should help to encourage good behaviour both in terms of:


1) quality of posts; and

2) recognition of good posts


That's gotta be good for the site and the fan base.

I don't know whether it would do much for this, perhaps it would, but I agree with some of your points. It might encourage people to use the rep system more frequently. I don't use it often at all, and maybe allowing people to see my horrid usage rates would light a fire under my butt.

Exactly, Exactly.


In my honest opinion, I think this site could use an injection of 'positivity' somewhere, somehow. This is one way to do it. Take a look at this, this is what additionary said in another thread:

Receiving pos rep makes me feel happy. If I log in jazzfanz and I see the notifications button gone black, and if there are likes, reps and messages waiting to be seen, I click reps first. But that doesn't mean I'm gonna whore for it. If I wanna screw around, I screw around.

Obviously getting a pos-rep can lift someone's spirit and create a much more positive community feel. Promoting & encouraging pos-rep I think is one way you could bring some positivity to the table.

Didn't suggest it for the mods to see bro, most of the posters skip threads fast(like me), and even close the thread if they don't find the OP interesting enough(again, like I did for this thread before )

It is posible to get things done around here. Jason was kind enough to enable the "Quote Notification" function which has served me very well so far for a year now. I would have missed a ton of posts if this function does not exist.


Hopefully this idea gains a bit more traction going forward

Pos-rep is a good thing to lift someone's spirit up, but only if he knows he is getting good feedback because of whatever he wrote. I have come across many love circles in my lifetime of this kind of experience and I can easily say that it's in human nature to form up gangs and watch each other's back while benefiting the exploitation of the system by only giving to each other and no one else.

In my opinion, this takes the whole bunch of enthusiasm away from the reputation system. The first thing to lift me up here is not the rep votes I received. I don't give a dang to them in the long run. It's just that they are rare and they are a sign of somebody gave up something valuable (in the codes of this artificially set up community) and I feel flattered by inspiring someone to do something like that.

What makes me happier than anything however, is that when a person shares his feelings or experiences about his life or an event that bugs him a lot, and he gets personal about it, opening his heart, being intimate, trusting us, crediting us a meaningful value, then I strongly feel that this community is not just some internet forum to waste some time but actually a real deal psycho-social living space for the thoughts of the minds of many active ones that dwell in here. That's what makes this site important to me and it is what is above the rep thingie.

Oh, OK. Not too much time past then. You got me there for a second.

Well this isn't gonna take anything away from that whatsoever. All that will still be going on.


People will actually be more happy to share something in what they perceive to be a positive environment, a positive community.

I don't believe in the pure positiveness of anything society related. Society is a system of interrelations and subsystems that always put a cosmic type balance between the people living on earth as long as the nearly-old-as-humanity exploitation system exists. Positivism fools luckier people to believe in the perfectness of anything socially constructed. You might wanna light up a few pots, get dizzy and giggle to yourself and think everything will be fine as long as we stay positive, but the real life is based on balance, where you need to be not-so-positive when people are coming at you like they don't give a ding-a-ling about anything. The whole existence is based on balance, and Earth is not an exception.
