Reputation System Discontinued for now
The Reputation system has been reset and discontinued for now. It may be reinstituted after I've had chance to read the documentation for the newest version of vBulletin. You can still see the reputations by going to Reputation Levels at fourm.barrowdowns.com as of 30 June, 2007

Reputations On Again
Reputations Back on
I've reset everyone's rep to 10 pts and recalculated the number of points needed to reach each level. Additionally, the levels themselves have been rewritten in a new theme. Reputation Giving Power Bonuses for high reputation and tenure have been eliminated, and the bonus for having a high reputation has been greatly reduced.

Is it the reason I've got all those mail notifications about replies to threads that really happened some years back?

I had some setting wrong, so if you repped anyone since my post above stating reps were working again, you'll need to rep them again to make them count. Sorry. Hopefully I've got it right now!

Alas! To have been kicked off Taniquetil is bad enough, now I don't even appear on your list! Ah, it's because I am a Dark Elf, isn't it? There have always been conspiracies against the Moriquendi! Haughty Noldor!

This suggestion is not from me but I am passing it along from BW. It worked for me. If you're having trouble with any of the links such as rep, just right click and pull it up in a new window. I was able to rep people this way in the Shire and Rohan and also to search some threads when the original links didn't work.

Ummm...I have a question.
I've noticed those infraction points some time ago and I was wondering where can a member see if he has got any infractions? I mean, I doubt I have any for now, but I can't seem to find anything in my User CP that links to that.

Post the girl
Back in the day, as noted here, I posited that some wag with the time and...well, time could sit down and analyze the Downs to see just how one could maximize his/her rep. Think of the glory of using algorithms to determine the best thread in which to post to have the highest possibility of getting repped. No more spending hours writing and rewriting a post to see it ignored. Like Doppler storm tracking, one could see on some probability map where and when to post and WHAM! Post and ye shall be repped.
I have started down this path. Using the list provided in the first post in this thread, I determined the gender of each member. That took some time, and I won't be providing my data as I'm sure that I got more than a few wrong (that, typos and some of you are most likely posers, so...). Using pictures and posts, I tried to determine the sex of each poster, but in some cases there was just no way to know, and so I took the scientific approach and assigned the gender that most supported my results.  Anyway, with 167 males and 133 females (I think), the data indicate that:
Conclusions? Many, but you form your own. |

Generosity, thy name is woman. (my interpretive conclusion)

Or at least that was my initial hypothesis, based on perceptions in RL and at the Downs. It may be true that, being male, that I'm selfish (the data indicate that I'm a typical male repper), 'taking' more than I give, but I don't think that we have enough data to extrapolate that far from the curve. Could it be that male posters rep females on a even basis (1:1) but, due to biology, rep other male posters less? Or do males rep less due to some other factor? Is rep emotionally driven, and if the average male had less 'emotion' than the average female, could this explain what we are seeing? Note that I did not apply statistics to the data as I'd burned enough time on it (the Perseid meteor shower was a fizzle, and so...) and, more likely, how even more boring would the results be if there were no statistical difference?
