Roger et al,
Can we add Reputation as a data point listed for each member in the Member directory? Here:
memberlist.php?mode=&sk=d&sd=d#memberlist
I believe it would be useful to know which members have earned the greatest reputation, particularly if we have specific questions or are seeking escrow or some other involvement that would benefit from the input of someone viewed as "respected more than most".
Thanks.
Hi Possum577,
This is a great suggestion, however the reputation system here focuses solely on how user's posts have been received by others rather than doubling as a system to derive trustworthiness. An excellent example of someone with high reputation points but who should absolutely not be trusted is former moderator
LiteCoinGuy - you can read more
here about why you shouldn't trust him on any site.
The reputation points system should not be utilised as a tool to ascertain trust - in its current guise the system simply allows users to see at a glance that a user's posts have been rated positive or negative (i.e. they are deemed helpful by others or unhelpful), and users with a higher post count will usually have a higher reputation count by virtue of the simple fact that they post more and have a greater opportunity to have helpful posts rated positively.
