the 'special room' in Gosport ...

@Matt @Mizmazzle nothing yet, I was more eluding to the functionality that reputation can be used for certain things but in all honesty I don't want the forum to turn in to a place where others cannot access certain things because their lack of 'rep'. Think of it as kudos to your peers for their contributions and little else

(until we use rep to grant access to secret denims)

[Matt]

Ha! I knew it.

I think it's nice to recognize the effort and contributions of other members for sure. I was on another forum long ago that used a 'reputation' system although it wasn't called that. I found it did tend to create a subtle "I'm better than you" element to the forum. Things got much more competitive and hierarchical than community-based (human nature I suppose) with groups of friends up-voting the shit out of their own posts and ignoring others. I have found this forum to be generally very welcoming and nonjudgmental so just sharing my past experiences as I'd hate to see that happen again.

I love the badges (going from unwoven up a tier was nice) The badges and post counts are an incentive for even seasoned users to engage with brand-new ones. The badge tiers are also spaced apart very well. Kudos to whoever came up with those numbers (gonna assume Giles!)

Indeed, Adam's tone seems tongue-in-cheek here on the special access notion, but in seriousness, I don't think it would be enjoyable to log in and see all the "high status" guys reputation pointing themselves to the max with their secret denim pics while I'm looking at my reputation and feeling like a bum.

@Salted-Racer yep the reasons you mentioned in your experience on previous forums is everything we will actively avoid on ours

[Mizmazzle]

@Salted-Racer i agree with you on both counts. Fortunately for All of us, the IH crew is far too kind to ever treat us noobs with less than the utmost respect.

[AdamJ]

@Mizmazzle for $10 you can have access to the secret marketplace

[Mizmazzle]

Yes!!!! I’m in!!!

Where is it possible to see the rep counter?

[AdamJ]

@JB click on the avatar of the user you're looking at. Note, reputation is a new thing for the platform so nothing to do with the previous version. Where as post count was migrated over

@AdamJ Thanks

good evening everyone, forgive my ignorance, what do these yellow squares mean? Thanks

@Luijim78 Each block represents the number of posts that you have made and the rank that you have achieved. For example you have posted 52 times which represents that you have achieved “Haraki-san Student” which is level 3 (3 yellow squares).
