Thread: Igivers

---> There are three things you must distinguish between. "iGiver", "reputation points" and "likes." <---

iGiver

1. What is it? When should I give it?

iGiver is similar to ebay feedback and is mandatory that you leave it for a seller upon receiving an invite or bonuses.You may also leave iGiver for someone to whom you have given an invite, if you feel they have been either an exceptional invitee or terrible one (for instance, if they caused you to lose your account or invite privileges by keeping a poor ratio.) The higher a person's iGiver is, the higher the number of invites they have handed out.

It can be positive (+1), neutral (0), or negative (-1).

2. When shouldn't I give it?

You should not give iGiver if you have not been either a giver or receiver. iGiver should not be given in place of rep.

3. How to give iGivers?

There are two simple ways:

• a) click the number of iGivers in user's iGiver counter in the top-left corner of his post (eg. for iGiver: (4) - you click 4)
  b) click "Submit Feedback For [username]"
  c) fill out the feedback form
  ----------------------------------------------------------------
• a) enter user's public profile by clicking his nickname
  b) click "View all feedbacks for [username]"
  c) click "Submit Feedback For [username]"
  d) fill out the feedback form
  
  Note: You're able to give each user only 1 iGiver a day. Also, giving iGiver to the same person more than once is not counted in the total stats (but it's listed and you still have to iGiver them!).

If you still don't understand how to iGiver, read these instructions:

• How to Give an iGiver

Tip: iGiver was once called 'iTrader' - you may encounter it reading some older posts. They are the same thing, only the name has changed.

1. You can check your current reputation in your public profile (above your rank) and in your posts under your iGiver counter. It's represented by one or more icons like: .
2. You can monitor reputation you've recently received in your UserCP.
3. Users with higher reputation have a higher "rep power", thus they add more reputation points when they rep someone using the "Reputation" button (more than just +/- 1) than a person with a lower rep power.

The Rep button:

1. You can't see/use the rep button until you're
2. After that, the is visible next to the post reporting button in the bottom-left corner of each post.
3. This allows you to:
   
   a) give both (+) positive and (-) negative reputation as well
   
   b) leave a specific comment / reason why
4. CAUTION: RULES! Before repping a new user into T-I from the Introductions, make sure you read this:http://www.torrent-invites.com/intro...tion-form.html and http://www.torrent-invites.com/intro...g-members.html
5. CAUTION: RULES! Before giving anyone (-) negative rep, make sure you read this: Rules for Repping
   

Tip: Depending on what reputation you have, you get various reputation comments (seen after hovering the icons).

Note: The "Like" button does not impact your reputation so feel free to like all the posts you desire, but please use the Reputation button if you feel a post is helpful to you or the community. This determines a member's progression as a T-I'er.

When should you give positive reputation?

You may give positive rep or thanks when...:

• a post is useful to you
• a post is useful to someone else
• a giveaway is made that you like
• a request is filled
• a good suggestion is made
• a post is helpful to the moderators

So when you should you NOT give positive rep or thanks?

• when someone makes a request
• when someone applies for an invite
• when someone bumps a thread
• or anything resembling spam
• in order to receive an invite (you may give rep or thanks to a deserving giveaway it if you desire but please report any threads that require rep or thanks as a condition of the giveaway)

When should I give negative reputation?

You should only give negative reputation in the following instances:

• to a cheater
• to a flamer
• to a liar
• to a scammer

and to those:

• who blatantly disregard the rules
• who spam continuously (do not go neg-rep happy!)
• who insult or flame
• who are repeat offenders

When should I refrain from giving negative rep?

You should not give negative rep because you:

• don't like the poster
• disagree with the person's post or think the poster is wrong
• want to punish the user for upsetting you
• want to punish the user for accusing you of something
• want to get revenge for the negative rep you received
• are angry at staff

Neg repping a rules thread will result in harsh punishment. Do not do it.

The bottom line is no one likes being neg repped. In some cases it is necessary, but it should always be given serious consideration.

LIKE

The "Like" button does not impact your reputation so feel free to like all the posts you desire, but please use the Reputation button if you feel a post is helpful to you or the community. This determines a member's progression as a T-I'er.
