[Suggestion] RP Power Bar

[Ryūkai1]

I was thinking, you think it'd be a cool idea to add an additional bar like the Rep Bar that would indicate how strong of an RPer someone is.

Like, for every battle someone wins, the rep bar increases (based on a certain setup) or other things, like every rep you give in each section in the RPG Forum would be made to increase someone's RPG rep

How would this work? For one, there are many battles that just go unfinished. Not only that, but it's not like there's a system for keeping track for wins and losses like rep has. The only to keep track of this would be to go to the RP mods with your thread and send it in to them, and if they approve the wind, add it manually. And with the scale of RPers and battles, that'd be way too much of a hassle.

To the underline, I disagree with that. For someone who would rep friends within friends as they too do the same it would easy break your idea (presuming you want it fair). Why not a bounty status like the one Madara(mod) made.

Hmm, well it can be simply, not just for wins, but how about, whenever you are in the RPG Forum, there will be an additional Reputation that can be given, the RPG Rep. This Rep can be given alongside or without the other +/-Reps and each will affect its respective Rep Bar.

So it doesn't have to be after every win, but more like it'll be an extension to the standard Rep System, which is sorta meant to show a person's status in NB, but it'll be made to show someone's status in the RPG community

You sorta get what I mean? I know I could've been a little clearer, so let me know if I should try to explain it better

Actually, it would just follow the same style as the Regular Rep Bar, where you can't Rep the same person twice etc in a fast matter. It'll be like, you need to spread more Rep around before repping this person again. So it's not like the idea would be broken.

Actually, maybe this would be a good implementation to Madara's bounty idea that he made.

Its called the win loss line at the bottom of your bio. I'm moving this thread to off topic

 

[The Sach]

This will never work.
And wins and losses are never an indication of how strong one is, due to things like timeframe win.
And as if normal rep isn't too much abused, already.-_-

Fail idea

 

[Gααrα]

Rep by RP Mods when win an official battle or pass a test excluding Rain Release test?

Well, this could work.

Let me explain and ask a few things.

what you suggest would require something similar to the Reputation plugin we have. Correct?

In any reputation system, or stat system for that matter, you need to insert data which is translated into a given "rank". In this case, RP wins, loses, etc. Correct?

So, who or how would this reputation be given? By mods? By members to eachother? Who and how would it be controlled? Why do it? How to prevent it from being abused? And finally and more importantly, what benefit would it grant the RP or the community?

To your first question, yes.
To your second, yes (etc is something that can be worked out later)

And to your remaining questions:
I believe an optimal system would be that Mods would give them it, as it would be limited, and in a sense act more exclusive, but I understand that that will put a strain on the Mods by adding even more to their plate. For that reason, I don't see why it wouldn't wrong for other users to do so.

Regarding the question of control, well I've noticed that when I give a Rep to someone, if it was someone I already did give it too, it says I need to pass more rep around. From that, I'm assuming that there a time limit or transfer limit that is involved. Like, it can be, only after passing 10 other reps and 10 days passing can you give this person a rep again. So I guess that would also tie into the question of how to stop it from abuse.

And for the why do it and the benefit it would grant, I believe it will benefit those who are active in the RP, as it gives a very simple and quick way of (in a sense) comparing one to another in the RP. This may (I understand this is small, so I'm not gonna say it's gonna be major or extremely influential) cause RPers to be more competitive and participate more in the RP. Also, the fact that RPer's also gain an additional feature may make other members want to have that as well, (possibly)?

All in all, I think it would be a nice implementation to add.

Perhaps instead of a repping system where others give and receive, it can be like A rep for every category you complete? (e.g. one rep for completing Elements, one for Nin/Gen/Tai/Ken, one for special stuff)
I'd like to make it clear that I still haven't thought this idea so much myself, so I apologize for not being able to provide all the answers. I simply wanted to pass the message out beforehand in order to get a feel of what the idea would be like.


And two questions to you. Were you being sarcastic in your post and does this idea interest you in any way?
I in no way would want to be rude, but it is hard to tell, and I'd like to apologize in advance if that is not the case and you are genuinely asking these questions to think the idea through more.

We cannot implement such a system for many reasons. One, it brings nothing good when you squeeze the juice out of it. Two, it would require too much direct control from the mods and we are trying our best to steer in the opposite direction. Three, you cannot allow members to do something like that as, unlike reputation, RP reputation would be something that people would use to claim "hey, I'm better than you..." when in fact they simply managed to get people to click on a button, regardless of their own worth.

The only system possible is the system that I linked and is already in play. A system that is self managed by the members themselves. Want to be part of the leaderboard? Ok, do the math and work for it, submitting it in an active manner. Don't want to? Ok. Nothing needs to be done. Simple.

Sorry but it doesn't work in our system.
