Sorting

[wysota]

We already have a reputation scoring system here. You can click the star icon under each post and modify the author's reputation rating. Try it

Allright. But there is no public consequence. Where is the reputation rating visible for every one else?

But there is no public consequence.

There will be once people start using the system. For example we'll disable posting in any forums but the newbie forum for people with low reputation.

The green rectangle under a user name and user title in each of the posts marks the reputation. Hovering over it will give a more elaborate description. You can compare your reputation, mine and that of franco.ammato - they will differ.

This is great! Why don't you make a sticky explaining all of this in detail? Because I looked for news of the site itself.. wanted to read about the new design, but couldn't find anything.

How are the comments on the post going to be used? Just as a note to the poster? Or visible for the public? How should they be phrased? What levels of reputation are there?

Interesting idea that may have prevented any of my replies to date because I am new and as such, have no reputation.

You do have enough reputation that wouldn't prevent you from posting elsewhere.
