Problem is, that you can just find someone's random post in the appropriate section and abuse it that way.

As for shop hacks, one that's being maintained would be nice. Last I checked, the only shop hack still arround isn't a real shop hack...

The answer will probably be, "Very".

The question is - is it hard to program your own shop hack?

And I might as well through in a related question - which programming language/s?

True enough, I was figuring that would limit the damage a bit though.

I definitely don't check on these kinds of things, so if that's the case...

PHP and MySQL.

Well, I could throw together a shop hack to some extent, but then it would be full of problems and easy to exploit.

I don't think it'd be worth that kind of effort mate, it'd just be a minor interest for myself.

We have to close nit of a group for this. Otherwise it's a good idea

That's why you guys can check if somebody complains about it. Shit, you aren't that hard to jump on any other PM about somebody complaining about any random thing that may occur, how would a complaint about the E-Rep be any different? You don't have to be so negative right off the bat...

I just see this as a cool little options, you guys are being too serious about it. People abuse every other rule anyways, there is nothing perfect. That's what makes this place cool to post on.

I'm just saying I don't care a whole lot of Thanatos gives me +1 Cool Points because I know I'm already the center of his universe. It would be different if we had a lot of new people come in all the time and they make names for themselves(which they do anyways), or we had 1,000 active members and everyone could tell me how totally cool I am.

The Leader has spoken.

Alright, nevermind on this idea. Next.

I should mention that should it be decided my opinion doesn't matter on this, that both Synthesis and Default should both have reputation system support, so my assistance is likely unneeded to do this.

Well no-matter what the outcome I think this would be a fun idea, rather than abusing etc. Everything can be fixed and tweaked, people should atleast just give it a chance.

Well, E-REp did go through, And in case you newer guys haven't noticed, you CAN E-REP people for posts you agree with or disagree with.

There is a little Gray box under the user's Box with green or red dots next to it, click and add reputation.

Oh, and another thing. Does this system max out on either side of the spectrum, or atleast can you view what it goes up to or can go negative to?..

IIRC, it's stored in a signed 32-bit number, so you can go about 2 billion positive or negative.

That's awesome, now we just have to make it visible to the public.

It is. See those green bars on your post? The public can see them, and the represent that number.

I can;t believe that he actually said that. He didn't notice the bars. Or did not know what they were for. How is this?

He actually means making your rep score visible to the public, I do believe, and maybe even stats similar to those !K_A! made up:

Oh, This would be a great idea! Just, yet again, I think that we should have the option, if it is made, to make ours not visible. For the same reason as post count.
