Yeah, and I'm no 'Expert' either... It has to do with your participation in the forum, the number of posts you make. You'll see that it's by no means a measure of the experience or abilities of the other members as well...
So, if a 'Expert' gives you advice, doesn't actually mean they know what they are talking about. Sort of an honorary title, doesn't really mean anything more than a level of interest in electronics.
Yes hero999 Is 100% correct (so i gave you rep ;-)).
I have wiped out the old system and added a new. The old one was just based on posts and this one is based on post, time on forum and other members possitive and negitive feedback.
Thanks. The new title is a better description. The 'expert' implied that I know a lot more than I do (so much more to learn). I know about the stuff I've worked with (learn what I need). I have a wide range of interests, doubtful I'll achieve expert status in any one area.
It says what it is 'somewhere' - but it's VBulletin, a commercial package. If you want free?, try PHPBBS - which is what I use (and what used to be used here).
I hope you know there are problems with the rep system. You have to monitor rep to make sure people dont "trade" rep. We had this with a couple people, and they ended up with bans. Oh yea, how come I cant see My rep? Usually its in my CP.
There's a "latest reputation recieved" section in your CP but I assume you won't see it if you haven't recieved any. You can see how much reputation you have by clicking on the next to one of your posts.
Yeah, i wouldnt think trading rep will be much of a problem with this forum (well im hoping). Mostly due to the fact that it does take some time to get a good rep.
I think it will definately better than what we had ;-)

Isn't it only make sense that people are trading rep because higher "rep" brings additional benefit or privilege on a certain board? Perhaps they can access areas that normal members can't like download of files etc...
These are strong incentives for people.
On this board, there is nothing of this sort right to this very moment(is it?) and I think it would be better for it to stay that way.
