Thread: Does any one knows, about the ..green stair??

Fotis,

If you look in the members list and sort it (descending) on reputation your position is 98 of a total of 241835.
Not too bad I'd say.
To add to this consolation: Richard Schollar, who has the title 'Forum Guru' (for what it's worth) and a total of 1264 post is in position 110 from the top.
So there's very little to complain about in your case I'd say.

This forum is - my opinion - not about giving 'right' or 'correct' answers but about inspiring each other on what you can do with certain software and it's programming language. More often than not there are many ways to accomplish the same goal.
You may also have noticed that the amount of members that is visiting a forum is a tiny fraction of the total number of visitors. Non members can read and marvel your stunning suggestions and even use them without being able to 'rep' you. So your reputation reaches far beyond the limited scope of the members of this forum, let alone the tiny few that are so overly polite to grant you some 'rep' points, based on their own reputation.
If you are longing for eternal reputation you should continue to post your valuable suggestions in this forum without bothering too much about reputation points received. You could consider those as pleasant 'side catch' (fishing expression) or 'collateral profit'.

Fotis,
I am in no way trying to attack you and I apologise profusely if I have given that impression.

I am merely trying to understand what it is that you are after in terms of an explanation, since I thought this had been covered quite thoroughly. Since you mentioned 90 posts and two bars I thought perhaps a concrete example would assist but I cannot see to whom you are referring.

Again, I apologise for any offense - it was not my intention.

@Fotis: I don't think anyone intends to "attack" you and, if that's the way it has come across, I am sorry. I think it's just one of the problems of trying to have a dialogue on a forum like this. There are similar problems with email. This is, perhaps, coupled with slight language/translation issues.

Looking at the membership list, sorted by reputation, you can see a couple of things. One, you only have to go to page 5 before you start seeing members with "only" one bar. This may be because they don't answer many questions, their answers were not considered helpful, or they were just unlucky ... who knows?

But, to pick up your point, there are a few members with less than a 100 posts who have two bars. I can only guess that they've answered questions from some top hitters. It's also fair to say that the number of posts doesn't differentiate between questions asked and questions answered ... or posts that simply say "thank you".

I generally say "you're welcome" if someone thanks me and/or I will thank them if they have (positive) repped me so that will have "inflated" my post count but I consider it good manners to close down a thread politely.

I hope this helps.

Regards, TMS

I am not looking for for eternal reputation.AND YES, i'll continue to post my suggestions!! Thank you for your remarks!

@OnErrorGoto0

I felt so I said it.

Of course I have no reason not to believe the explanation you gave me and of course there is no issue. Everything is OK now..

I felt so I said it.(From OnErrorGoto0, not from you)

So, pls do not be sorry for anything. I angree with you and special for the language/translation issues.

Thank you for all the answers.

I just saw the reb* from you and by this i get the answer for all my questions..

@Alls

I made just a question.....

Reputation doesn't need to come from the question asker, don't forget.

If somebody were to post one single answer.....then it's possible that many people could think that an answer worthy of "rep" and act accordingly. I don't generally ask questions but I give out lots of rep points when I see good answers to the questions of others.....

these ones maybe ?

But where do those stairs go?!?!

Up. The down ones are just out of picture.

Just additional info.
I'm just bored and come-up with this one.

Danny (VBA Noob) left before the rep system was started.

thanks for the info..
and to the link given by onerrorgoto0 on vbulletin forums


http://https://www.vbulletin.com/for...ion-Power-work

and I quote

When you rep somebody: Their original rep points +/- your rep power = their new rep points
Beth has just shown how to adjust the reputation power settings. These factors are the only ways to obtain more rep power.

It's the admin job to put the RULES on rep's
