The GunZFactor Honor System

The GunZFactor Honor System

The GunZFactor Honor System works very similarly to the "reputation" systems found on other boards... with some differences.

The Honor System is unmoderated - honor can be given or taken away by anyone for any reason.

Although it is unmoderated, we do have some guidelines that you can choose to follow. You will want to give good or bad reputation based on the individual post, and not simply because you like the person or dislike them.

Asking for honor is not against the rules, but is not recommended. Asking for honor will probably result in people giving you -honor. Earn it and you'll keep it.

Good reasons to give someone positive reputation would be:

• Someone makes a post that helps you
• Someone makes a helpful post for someone else
• Someone posts a resource (guides, replays, tech help)
• Someone contributes to a thread with good discussion. If you think someone added to a discussion with something meaningful, you might give them some positive rep.

Good reasons to give someone negative reputation would be:

• Someone flames another member (not you)
• Someone is purposefully unhelpful.
• Someone has a blatant disregard for the forum guidelines

But like I said earlier, these are just guidelines. There are no rules to honor and reputation.

How the system works:
Two easy steps.

1. Click on this tab at the bottom of each post:



2. Rate the post either positive or negative and leave a comment. Comments are anonymous, but Admins can read them. You can check your most recent reputation comments left for you in your user CP.

Details about the Honor System:

• Your amount of honor is depicted as reward images in your left profile when you and other people view your posts.
• Only members with more than 100 posts can give reputation that counts. This cuts down on newbies passing bad reps and the ability to create a new account just to bad rep someone.
• For every 50 good reputation that you earn, your vote for positive or negative rating increases by 1 power. For instance, if someone with 50 positive rep gives you a good rep, you will gain 2 reputation points. Basically, the more reputation you have, the more you can influence the reputation of others.
• Reputation given by administrators counts as 10, which is equal to a good rep from a normal member that has 500 reputation. Making useful posts and helping others is a good way to increase your good reputation or redeem yourself of bad reputation. Reporting bad posts using the build-in report post function will also land you some +honor.

Well, this is really cool... But it would been better if that persons account name remained after he + or - repped you... Much of that is because people will often De-repp you for no reason :S ... Otherwise, this is really nice

It was that way before, and it just caused to much drama from every single -rep left even if it was deserved. Anonymous reputation is a much better system, as the reasons for distribution reputation points is left solely to the discretion of the individual users. Random or undeserved negative reputation will be easily reversed if you are a positive contributing member that posts meaningful and helpful posts. Or you could just go visit the rep swapping threads that completely bypass the original intent of reputation marks..


I think the reputation swords take up to much space on the sidebar. A person with maxed out swords will have their reputation stretch their post past the signature size limit. I would request a smaller reputation gauge, or an increase in vertical signature sizes. There is wasted space going unappreciated.

Hmm.. maby, but when people - repp you for small unesesarry things, it can be a huge pain in the ***... I`ll say, let the Activity play more on the rep (yea i know you can repp other more when you post more a,s,o) .. But if you have been really nice, and somone - repp you and it remains so untill somone + repp you again..

Yea, i know that i repeat myself.... but however... i got "dishonour" when i made my first post after i joined, and everything i did was to post a video of me playing, like most of the normal people here.. Preatty unfair and werid..

But i like the system, so it was a really creative idea, ^^ Gogo GunZfactor :P

so 1800/50=36 + 100=1 so i should give 37rep points?
