It's always good to listen to some good music no matter how lame the excuse.

The reputation is a yet to be announced featurette
Higher reputation means you bring good content to PF.
There will be no negative reputation.

Sorry Gordy , I didn't realise posting was a competition!, who judges? what value does it bring?.............all seems very undemocratic.
A guy who has one post...........trying to sell something nothing to do with the forum has the same score as me 10.......what's that all about? just emphasises to me how meaningless it is.

Everyone starts with 10.
Sell something??
Rep has nothing to do with selling something, nothing at all like eBay rep system.
Members will be able to award reputation points based on the CONTENT of other members posts, for example, posting a lot of how-to's, paint mixes, etc.
Hi Gordy ,
An interesting idea ..one question though what is the thought behind it ....could be a little elite sounding , ie some members spend a lot longer and have the time to post etc ...just a little intrigued as to what what it will bring to PF members ?
................isn't the like button like this anyway ?
I enjoy PF but this seems to be "grading" members ..

It's in a trial phase, it's not formally announced, y'all are discussing something without all the details and projecting erroneous conclusions.
Keith is right, FELL THE SAME HERE.
I have no prejudices, but I guess my time in PF is in final steps...

LOL, really?
A) It has always been there just not visible.
B) I should maybe remove the post counts also, it will save a database query.
C) All the speculation above is just SPECULATION!

Can't see what the fuss is. Surely this is a simple way of acknowledging the efforts of a number of our members who contribute their time to provide us with information on medels, and techniques that are not readily available particularly to members who are more isolated geographically from clubs or other modellers.
I can't imagine for a second anyone being so pathetic to approach this as a competition.

Gordy, I'm with Keith and the others on this and had been wondered what my grading of "Hidden" meant as I have (knowlingly) 'hidden' nothing? As per your comment above, do you think on reflection that it may have been of some value to float this idea past members in the first instance and see if anyone other than the unknown party(s) who suggested it thought it was useful or indeed necessary?
At the risk of being totally wide of the mark here, I would hate to see this great site develop into something one encounters on other model related sites - "Hyperscale" being one - where there is a clear and established 'pecking order' amongst users as to who's comments, contributions and opinions are judged and valued on a sliding scale. Indeed, try and say something on some sites that offers an alternative or contradiction to the opinion or sentiments of one or more of 'the names' .....and get ready for the resultant vitriol!
Personally, I am relatively new to figure painting from another branch of the hobby and as such would not consider at this time posting on this site any works or 'tips' as to how figs should be painted. This is not because I cannot be bothered, but rather because in truth, my own efforts would contribute little if anything of value in terms of skills or what people on PF wanted to see. By virtue therefore of my relative inexperience and limited skills with a paintbrush, does that mean by default that my "reputation" or indeed those like me should be significantly less amongst my fellow painters than, say, someone who weekly posts their latest masterpiece in miniature?
In the absense of any declared or identified need for this new grading system, I rather suspect that "reputation" (by design or otherwise) is nothing more than a form of overt elitism or kudos amongst site members? That said, I DO hope that I and the others who have posted in a similar vein are totally wrong on this.
Regards
Gary
LOL, really?
Is what I feel right now, can I?
Though I had more reputation here, and some other members with 10 points to???
My 3000...posts not worth more than 10p?
The most important thing is to be here every day make this forum the best in web, may have reacted impulsively in last post, but the points should be given to those who really deserves more or STOP the attribution.
Now, I understand the speculation about the last Euro ...

I guess we will have to wait and see, but it seems a pointless exercise to me, I value the comment of every member of the site if it is relevant to my needs at the time. Seems a pity as up to now I have enjoyed the free and easy approach of this site.
It makes no difference to me if a guy has a reputation of 10 or110 if I get a sensible answer to a question or informed comment-I suppose until we get the rationale behind it we are P*****g in the wind-I raised the issue out of curiosity.

Gordy-this was a reference to a post this morning from someone who had joined the forum to try and flog something he had just dug out of his grandfathers loft-he gathered an immediate score of 10 for reputation-the item he was flogging was nothing to do with modelling-i'll copy the post to you by mail........Keith

Well, I decide what I think of it when I learn what it actually is?
But it made me wonder to, as Gordy may confirm. Actually thought I was the only one who hadnt noticed.
