I was curious as to how this feature works?  Are points awarded by administrators?

no you just click on "cheers" if you want to give that person a spirit point. Maybe they helped you by answering your question on the boards or you know the team they coach for and they did great at comp, etc.

I'm not seeing the "cheers" to send spirit points.  When I click on someone's name to look at their profile, I keep getting an error message that says "You can't look at just anyone's profile."

I would gladly give YVCheerCoach FIVE cheers, but I can't even give her one because this feature is not any available to me.  Perhaps you, as an administrator, can give me the ability to rate posts.?

I'll look into that. It may be there is a threshold you have to reach before being allowed to give those. Smiley

I couldn't rate posts until yesterday.  The administrator thought there might be minimum number of posts required before you're able to award points.  I'm not absolutely certain, but I'm guessing once you reach 25 posts, you will then be able to award spirit points.

I was wanting to give spirit points but I guess I have to post more now, there is hardly anyone on the dance boards  Embarrassed it makes me maybe even want back all those annoying posts about the same thing, but only maybe

Since it says we need 25 posts to get the spirit points function, I have another question.  I have been a board memeber for a loooong time, and had a lot of posts on the old boards, however it wouldn't let me use my old user name so I had to create this one.  Is there anyway to get my old user name back?

StuntDouble4U, did you check out the Welcome Back thread?  There is a way of resetting your password.

I saw that, and tried every password I would have used, and it just wasn't working.  I'm working my post numbers back up there though.  Thanks, Kong!   Smiley

Ok, so I know this will seem silly especially coming from a 26 year old... but someone keeps "jeering" me and it is frustrating me!  Sad

How do you know?  I can see my spirit points...I assume that means that's the number of times I've been "cheered".  Where do you see the number of times you've been "jeered".  I guess I assumed that those would subtract from the spirit points...?

Yes, you lose spirit points if you get jeered.

I *think* it's 100 posts for Jr. and 250 for Senior. . . I am guessing 500 for "Hero" although I'm not there yet!  Grin

I suppose there is no way to see when or what comment earned me jeers either.  I have negative points Huh  If a moderator looks back at my posts, I don't think I've posted anything ridiculous (especially considering some of the misguided suggestions I've seen young cheerleaders offering each other on these boards).  I'm pretty sure someone disagreed with a suggestion I made to a flyer suffering from bruised ankles (I told her to loosely ACE wrap it to add some cushion until her back spot loosened the death grip), but I can't imagine that earning me a jeer.

As someone else said, it's a little childish for someone in their mid twenties, but it hurts my feelings.  I feel like I've gone out of my way to educate myself as a coach, and for my peers to judge me as uneducated/unsafe/unwise...  Maybe I'll just have to look elsewhere for my sense of self worth.

VSWcoach - I've earned a few jeers myself.  Sadly, we cannot see who jeered us or for what reason.  So we can only imagine what we wrote that would've caused someone to jeer us...  I'm assuming that my jeers were the result of someone having a conflicting opinion to what I wrote, not because I posted anything ridiculous...  I personally do not use the jeer button unless someone has given extremely bad advice or seems to not take these boards seriously, which really steams me...  I'm sure I'll get a few jeers for this one, too...  Down to 6 spirit points at the moment!   Sad

I don't know if things are different for me than they are for you, but I can only "cheer" or "jeer" somebody once every two hours.  I can also click on any person's name and either cheer/jeer them for a specific reason or for no reason at all.  I give out many more cheers than I have jeers.  In fact, the only people who get jeered are people who don't follow the board rules (and do that consistently).
