Pete Raven 276 Posted November 6, 2018 The reputation system enables users to earn reputation points when other users react to their content. Reactions award reputation points to the author of the content. Each reaction can increase or decrease the author's reputation points total (or leave it unchanged). This can be turned off if people are that bothered by it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Diane 500 Posted November 6, 2018 Pete - Why when I click ''reply to topic'' does it quote previous posters, like it just did, I've edited out their comments as they weren't relevant, but I didn't click quote anyway ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pete Raven 276 Posted November 6, 2018 The leaderboard collates each day's top three posters (based on their received reputation), as well as top content based on the number of positive reactions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Must say though that with regard to the leaderboard surely only one person is going to be constantly at the top of that which likewise means it will receive the most reactions to receive reputation points ?

The reputation points figure is simply a total of the number of positive reactions and does not decrease when a negative reaction is given. Bit misleading for some of our "marmite" contributors.

wooster 134 Posted November 8, 2018 I'm surprised that the old software was able to upload a photo that the new software cannot. I can't upload the (faintly humorous) photo of my dog crashed out with her paw over a bottle of wine because it's too large. That wasn't an issue previously.

PurpleCanary 5,554 Posted November 12, 2018 Pete, now you finished with trivialities such as helping posters sign in is it possible to deal with the vital matter of changing my roundel colour from the nasty pale mauve it is at the moment to the much nicer proper purple that the likes of Midlands Yellow and pete have, or is this set in stone?!

Fuzzar 1,702 Posted June 18, 2019 Hi Pete. I'm aware there's an ignore poster function on this site, but is there a facility to ignore a whole topic so that it doesn't appear on the list of my unread items? Or would ignoring the poster remove these topics from my view? While I'm sure there are lots of people who are enjoying The Great Mass Debater's current offerings, I'm not one of them. And I'm guessing there are plenty of people who would like the opportunity not to have to see the EU thread as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
