HRGuru

HRGuru.com 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!

Ditto, Sir!

Dear Editor

Thanks for the explanation. But could you explain how the ratings on a post is done ?

Hi, tapan, you don't get points for rating an article, but it gives others an idea of how well-received the article is.  It's helpful if you rate articles up or down.  Bear in mind that your rating will show on the activities page and on your profile, even if you've rated an anonymous posting.  You could, in theory, even rate your own topic, though it probably isn't something that everyone would do.  You're only allowed to rate something once.  If you don't remember rating it, try to rate it again.  If you've rated it previously, your rating will not change the number of times it's been rated.  So, if you click the thumbs up or thumbs down and nothing happens, it simply means that you've rated that one before.  I hope this helps!

That's a good idea.  I'll ask Katie about it.

You can only rate an article up or down once.  After that, if you click on the thumb again to rate it, you won't get a response.  In this way, you'll know if you've already rated it.  Just click on the thumbs up to rate it up or the thumbs down to rate it down.  If you still want to give the comment or article a more positive rating, post your comment saying what you would rate it if you could.  Some of the articles on the home page will have stars that you can rate them with.  Just click on the last star that you want to give.  For instance, if you want to give it a four-star rating, click onto the fourth star.

I definetly like this idea.  I just recently added in a cover letter that I have a Group and Topics as a member in HRGURU.  It would be nice to mention my points after I reach the leaderboard.

I did not receive any points for new friends.  Is this something that I need to activate?
