What is Talkupation?
The Talkupation (i.e. reputation) system on Webmaster-Talk.com allows our members to leave comments about one anothers' posts, and thereby contribute to their overall 'talkupation'. Your Talkupation number is based from the votes and opinions of other forum users that choose use the system.
How do I know what My Talkupation level is?
To see your Talkupation
number level, place your mouse over the text "Talkupation:" to the left of the green box (found under your username and avatar in posts). It may take a moment for the number to appear.
To see your Talkupation
title, place your mouse over the green blob, and again some text will appear.
Your talkupation number level and title may change over time based on how your posts are scored by other forum participants.
How do I use Talkupation?
Members with the ability to affect talkupation (members with a talkupation
under 10 can not give or take talkupation from others), may either give or take aways points by approving or disapproving with a post's content. You may optionally leave a nice comment (the member will appreciate it). Click the "Helpful post? Add to my Talkupation" text on the specific members post you wish to give or take talkupation from.
Do not abuse the system. Admin and Moderators can see who has given or taken talkupation and how many times. If we find that you have abused the system by artificially inflating your buddies Talkupation (or artificially deflating someone you just don't like) without
good reason you will lose your privilege to use the system.
What do the numbers mean?
All new members start with a number level of 10 and is "
is on a distinguished road."
The next levels are at 30, 150, 250, 350, 450, 550, 650, 1000, 1500, and 2000. You will have to reach each level to find out what each one says (mouse over the green box when your number reaches a new level).
How much Talkupation number can I give?
You start off being able to give or take 1 point (admins can of course give or take more).
For every 365 daysof registration, you gain 1 point of Talkupation-altering power.
For every 100 posts, you gain 1 point of Talkupation-altering power.
For every 100 points of Talkupation you have, you gain 1 point of Talkupation-altering power.
You can only give 5 Talkupation votes over each 24 hour period.
You must give 6 different users Talkupation to before you can hit the same person again.
How do I disable Talkupation?
So you don't want Talkupation on your account? Just go into your User CP and click on "Edit Options". From there, you can choose to uncheck "Show My Talkupation Level".
