Reputations being made (and lost)
The reputation system has had to be redesigned (again) to fit within the capabilities of the components on the new website.
The TgR profile reputation provides an indication of how positive a role you take on the web site. The reputation measures not only activity (such as making posts) but also feedback from others. Your reputation can range from 0 to 100. The following bands are reported on your profile.

You can earn reputation point credits in the following ways:
In the forums
1 point when you start a new forum topic (limit one credit per day, expires after 3 months)
2 points when you post a reply to a topic on the forums (limit one credit per day, expires after 3 months)
7.5 points if someone else likes one of your posts (no limit, expires after 6 months)In private messaging
1 point when you reply to a private message sent to you through the site (limit one credit per day, expires after 3 months)
In the chat
1 point when you talk with someone in a private chat (Instant messaging) (limit one credit per day, expires after 3 months)
1 point when you post a message in the group chat (limit one credit per day, expires after 3 months)
In the profile photo albums
2.5 points if someone else likes a photo you have put in your album (limit one credit per day, expires after 3 months)Note that all reputation points expire after a time so if you don’t take an active role on the site your reputation will sink over time to zero.
When the site was ported the reputations were maintained by giving everyone three lump-sum credits – each for a third of their reputation points. These credits will expire gradually over the next 6 months – so that in December 2014 everyone’s reputation will be based only on the new credit system.
After 6 months the distribution of reputations will be checked and the credits adjusted retrospectively as necessary -

Just an update on the reputation system – after having watched the first two month’s activity.
The system is currently reporting an average of 0.53 points being awarded per person per day. If we wish the average reputation score to be about 50 – then the points will have to expire after 3 months, not two as we had proposed. I’ve adjusted the configuration, and the expiry times in the summary posting above. This will not apply retrospectively, but all your future earned points will last a bit longer.
And with the two month mark approaching, be aware that the first of the fixed reputation blocks that carried your reputation over from the web site will expire. This means that all members who came from the old web site will see their reputations fall a bit.

The first reputation block for members from the old website has expired.
So, your reputation will have gone down a 1/3.
Please don’t email me asking “Why has my reputation gone down?” -
Two more ways to enhance your reputations!
I’ve extended the “Like” system from the forums so it now works on blog entries and the comments to blogs.
If you like a blog entry, or like someone’s comments on a blog entry then hit like.
That way the authors will get a bit more reputation.

Wow, maybe my reputation will blossom after I’ve made this comment on reputations. Gee it could go round and round in an endless reputation recursion if I try just a little bit harder!!!
Then I could indeed become famous

The second reputation block for members from the old website has expired.
So, your reputation will have gone down.
Please don’t email me asking “Why has my reputation gone down?”
It appears that the reward points in the new reputation system are not high enough… as I would prefer the average member to have a reputation of 40 or 50. But as I said earlier, I can’t adjust the system until the final block reputation from the old site expires and all reputation points come from the new site. That will be a job for Christmas! -

Please don’t email me asking “Why has my reputation gone down?”Now all members are earning reputation from the new website I can try balancing the points awarded so that the average score is around 50. It is a bit low at the moment.
