Forum "Tech Badge"?

[Matt]

Kind of like taking the Rep points to the next level. Having it lead up to something.....

Also thought it might be good to have a vetted system... so you know the title was earned by thumbs up from other "techs".

I wonder if there's a way to solve sals issue with the Rep power limits?

This is exactly what I was leaning to in the other thread. YOU STOLE MY IDEA, MATTTTTTTT!!!!!!! To the plank you go!

O.k. seriously, the rep points are for this idea, but maybe it can be refined or changed a bit to what Matt has stated. I have also run into the same issue that Sal just mentioned, therefor forgetting about the rep points thing. There has been plenty of times that I could of givin said points to someone and just bypassed it, I am guilty of not using it.

I really like this idea and believe it'll help everyone when there is a tech question you can not find on your own.

This is a great thread, but I to ran into the same issue today trying to give rep points. So I passed them out to anyone that didn't say to the plank. Just kidding I got you guys to. The limits from one person to another should be raised if possible.

On a side note can change the word "Rep" to "Tech"?

I will look at the Rep Power part of the software to see what changes can be made. I think I can change the title to anything you want and I should be able to lif tthe limits but I do not think I can limit who uses it but I will play around in there and see what all it can do.

Okay...

I did find that I can add "Ranks", did anyone notice the rank I added for all memebrs with more than 10 posts?

I can add many ranks but the only qualifier that I saw was that it changes when the number of posts by a member increases.

I thought we had a thread with name suggestions on what to call members at a certain post count.

Those were for the user Rep Power but the first title currently kicks in when a member has 10 points.

[Sal-XK]

Change the name to tech points if you think that's better. I viewed the rep points as a thumbs up kinda thing pretty much only gave rep points to cool mods or good advice that kind of thing. Being able to give the points when there deserved would be nice.

The old setting required you to give 20 points before returning to any particular member, I lowered that too 5. If it needs more adjustment let me know.

IMO for it to work it needs to be at zero. If its going to mean anything then the stuff that deserves it should receive the points not everything else so I can clear my quota so I can give points were it needs to be. As it sits I keep using Matt as an example, how long will have to wait around for a rep worthy post to come along to clear the quota so I can go back and give the member that deserves the post points. Well in this case it took so long I forgot about it. I've handed out some rep points and still can't give Matt points for his fuel tank skid work
