mommylawyer Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I'm sad... I went to look at my rep this morning and... IT'S GONE! WTM powers that be have made changes. They look good, but they took away the REP!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailV Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I know -- I was going to rep a post, and suddenly realized the lack of green squares. It was eery. There's an announcement at the top of the various boards about the upgrade -- we now have iTrader to rate transactions. We also have other new features.

JudoMom Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I'm sad... I went to look at my rep this morning and... IT'S GONE! WTM powers that be have made changes. They look good, but they took away the REP!!! I'm gonna miss it because it was an easy way to thank someone and let them know they are appreciated. I'm not going to miss the complaints about it. At all. And if I feel that way as a poster, I can't imagine how thrilled the admins are going to be that it's gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beansprouts Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 It looks like they are using a "feedback form". Click on your name and you will see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beansprouts Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Click on the "Visitor messages" tab. It looks like you can still leave nice messages for your friends, and the feedback form better serves the purpose for the "sell and swap" boards.

ma23peas Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I actually like it...hoping the new system will prevent rogues from abusing the negative rep...I just learned what reps were and went to read my reps and all were good but one who used it as an attempt to slam my political views...when I came and reported that (not knowing the whole mess about you will be silenced if you bring up negative reps)....my threads/posts were deleted..ouch! Nothing like being censored by Big Brother..just hoping this new program censures those who abuse the system not those who complain about it! :) Tara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is your profile page: http://www.welltrainedmind.com/forums/member.php?u=3004 In the middle of the page you see a box with a tab that says "Feedback" next to it there are other tabs for "visitor messages", "About me" and so forth.

HRAAB Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Just when I had the rep system figured out! I hate it when things change cause then I've got to go learn a new system. Plus I was having so much fun leaving positive rep for people. Oh well. So I clicked on a couple people's names, and it looks like you can see everything everyone might write. Where is the visitor tab and what is that for? Janet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Academy of Jedi Arts Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 So in playing around with this thing, you can leave comments, but the comments do not link to a specific post the way the rep system did. I liked the rep system because the comments linked to specific posts and it actually made it easier to keep my place in conversations. You can also have conversations back and forth on the "comments" form, but apparently anyone can read those conversations. I am not liking that part of it.

Haiku Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Well, I'll go out on a limb and say I am glad that rep is gone. I don't think it served its intended purpose. I got a lot of rep for posts I made in parenting and political threads ... but those things don't have anything to do with my knowledge of homeschooling or ability to help others in that respect. What does it matter if someone likes/hates my political perspective? So, I'm glad we've moved beyond rep. Tara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelli in TN Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Now, go down to the tag box and instead of clicking on any of the tags, click on the word Tag. You will go to a word cloud of our forums. See that? Total strangers will be able to see what we talk about the most, what we deem important around here. Ack. Quick, lets all go tag threads about Latin, and grammar, and algebra, and logic, and high ACT scores, and the Epic of Gilgamesh, and stuff like that. Everyone spread out. You, you, and you, take the high school board. You, you, and you cover the k-8 board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFSinIL Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 My lack of rep makes me feel like the kid who has worked hard and gotten straight "A"s only to be told he/she can not be high school valedictorian because the administration decided to eliminate the position since it made some kids feel bad.

See, that's what you get for trying to befriend someone in the clueless crowd -- they don't have the socialization skills/computer skills to figure out how to accept your friendship.
