InsideTech is improving the way we calculate your reputation score and award reputation points. These improvements will include a recalculation of your previous score to ensure accuracy. Previously we calculated scores with a “diminishing return” system, making it harder for reputation leaders to increase their scores as they accrued points. Going forward, you will receive points for each and every action you take, using the scoring system listed below:



Making Friends

Each Added Friend = 5

New Member Invites = 10



Posting Content

News Articles = 5

Videos = 5

Photos = 2

Training Articles = 7



Interacting on Site

Commenting = 2

Receiving a Comment = 2

New Discussion Topic = 5

New Discussion Posts = 2

Receiving Other User’s Ratings = 2

Reviewing a Product = 2

Taking a Quiz = 2





Members with a high reputation score get special status. They get asked to

moderate the forums, receive free products for review, and more.



Having a high reputation also lets others know you're an active member of

the community and makes you more visible for career networking opportunities.

 

Reputation Status Requirements

Five stars: 50,000+ points

Four stars: 10,000+ points

Three stars: 2,000+ points

Two Stars: 400+ points

One Star: 80+ points



Have fun!

nicely done, however i think it's a bit impossible for anyone to reach 5 star at the rate that i've seen people using this community, it'll take 10 or 20 years to reach that many reputation points.

on another note I've also seen that the scoreboard has a few bugs.


isn't it supposed to remove points if you delete a picture/post?


well i deleted a pic or two cause it was a duplicate and it still left the points. (but then maybe it was designed to keep the points).


:P

The jump between 4 and 5 stars is huge, perhaps you could have a few levels in between. Everyone likes to hit a new level and will try harder when the are getting close to it. But when the carrot is to far to reach I think people will give up except for a few all stars. I think the whole idea for the stars is to give people some kind of reward for continuing support of the site, so more obaintable stars meam more activity simple math on this one. One way to do this maybe to use different color stars like the military does keep the 5 gold stars where they are but maybe add some bronze or silver levels in there. Again I think the system is great but everything can be improved right if not we wouldn't need to many IT people would we.

I think this site is a lot of fun and I enjoy the camaraderie between posters. I also agree that trying to get on the top, with five stars, is impossable. Unfortunately my world of IT people is right here, or I would be sending invites left and right. Not to boost my score, but to let them know there is a fun place where we can be the geeks we are. I try to respond to all the threads that I have knowledge of, or that interest me. I did the gathering of friends for a couple of weeks to boost my score, and felt blah after I did it. How can I be a friend when I never talk to a person? Posting is where it's at, that's how we get to know each other and share our knowledge. For me, that's what Inside Tech is all about, sharing our digital brains.


The forgetful fishy........I think??!!??

I was referred to this site a few months ago by a co-worker, and I've been really active here the past week at lest because of the ppl I've met and the oppurtunity to meet more ppl and to interact as much as possible.  The news section is great as well. Good job with it so far.

I came apon this site by reading the articles i'll bet it was 8 or months before I even realize how much more the sight had to offer and I wasn't even paying attention to it.

Kenneth, I did the same thing. I joined in Oct, 2007, because I found an interesting article that pertained to an assignment in one of my classes. I kept getting the emails telling me about new articles. I actually have them all saved, from when it was Tech Community. I didn't post my first forum response until January of this year.I had no clue this site had so much to offer. That's one of the reason when I do add someone as a friend I tell them about the groups and forum.

I agree with the posts about it seems quite a large jump from 4 stars to 5 stars.
