    I would have thought it's not the size, rather the quality of it. :)

    That could be taken a number of ways. I mean, could it be considered better quality if you bling-ed it up. Or worse if it was scarred?

    If that's possible ......

    Please :mad:

    Seriously though, I wouldn't mind having some sort of quick visual way to determine a forum member's street cred, so to speak :)

    How does one determine street cred?! LOL
    And especially given there's so few of us on here who use our real names :eek:

    Bring the green squares back only to stop people from spamming posts to build up their credibility!

    Why do you think a person who doesn't have anything to sell need to publish their names?

    LOL.

    Most of my green dots weren't because I knew anything; they were because I said something funny, or something interesting to that person who kudosed me, or a "thanks mate" for coming in to someone's defense in an argument with a troll or other..

    Not much of a recommendation I felt....especially if you looked at my line of dots!!

    Lots of dots - no susbstance, lots of BS and fluff. :)

    All hat; no cattle. :)

    I'm not really a fan of "reputation" type systems like we had on Somersoft. We have likes here, which are almost as useless really, but easier to use.

    This is a good question about how to judge the credibility of a poster though (at least in the eyes of the remainder of the community) ... I think a more sophisticated mechanism is required than a simple reputation or likes system.

    Possible way:
    Identify 'positive' words. Check the poster who is been quoted. It can't pick up sarcastic comments.

    I do understand the concern a little though, I kinda feel like a noob all over again. On Somersoft I had over 10 years membership, over 4,000 posts and all those funny little green boxes. Here I have the privelege of this being my first contribution to a whole new forum. Reputation is a funny thing and I'm too old to try and rebuild from scratch...

    Cheers,
    Michael

    *edit* There you go, I even get the privelege of being deemed a New Member after over 10 years on Somersoft. If this is the new home, then that seems a bit incongruent *endedit*

    Unfortunately, although I did ask for permission to migrate user data across from Somersoft - that request was denied, so we are all forced to start from scratch here.

    At least everyone is in the same position.

    I haven't had a chance to look into the titles that appear under a user's name next to their posts ... I'll add it to my todo list.
