IP.Board 3.1.0 Dev Update: View Reputation

Posted by Mark, 23 February 2010 · 565 views

In IP.Board 3.0 we introduced a simple reputation feature, allowing users to give positive or negative reputation to a post.
While administrators can view who gave reputation through the Admin CP, in IP.Board 3.1 we have introduced a way for all users to view who gave reputation on any given post.

To view who gave reputation, you just click on the reputation number at the bottom of the post which will now display a popup balloon indicating who has given reputation.

There is a per-group setting to control who can use this feature. If a user does not have permission to use it, the number will not be clickable and appear unchanged from how it currently is.

The data is loaded through an AJAX call when the link is clicked, so there is no additional queries to the topic view for this feature.




As the blog post mentions, you can control who can use the feature.

Judging by the image shown, I see some pretty huge potential for abuse, via 'retribution'. Maybe only admins should have this ability, because if most communities are like this one that give out - rep just because they disagree with how something is presented, my god, this is going to get very vindictive, very, very quickly.

It really depends on the type of board you run. For some boards, that's kind of the idea. The board that came from, and the couple of others I see it at, "rep wars" are part of the fun. Nonetheless, it should at least be an option for those who want it.
a much needed and excellent update :)
Excellent I love this rep system, I honey hope for there to be an option in the user's CP to view all reputation received.

Take a look at this thread IPS, please :)
yes, it would be nice to write comment why you give + or - rep, reason. When you don't write nothing, you can't give a rep point.
I love it, I still think AH Reputation was a great idea, it opened a box so you could (if you chose to) add a reason/explanation for the =/- rep.
Did anyone ever think that this idea can and is used in a negative way?
Users that troll the forums will simply negative rep someone because they can no matter what the posters content was. In general I see this done quite often. This is a cowards way of responding to a post instead of posting or debating the topic all this feature does is make it stupid simple for someone to be an asshat.
