Duke Dollars?

How do I get duke dollars back if no-one answered question or response is not worthy.
thanks

You dont need to. If none of the responses were any good, you dont have to award dukes. If you did then changed your mind then thats tough.

How do you add Duke Dollars to a post???

How do you get the little Duke Dollars thingy to show up next to your post? There are no buttons to do so on the page where I'm ttyping this, nor on the preview page. Nor does it say anything about it in the Duke Dollars FAQ.

Oh never mind! I saw the option to add Dukes appear after the message was posted.
IMHO you should be able to add Dukes either on the form or the preview page.

...for a new question i have BUT b4 I can do that I need to retrive back the duke dollars from my earlier messages that haven't been answered and have my dollars gathering dust...how on earth do i do that?

Silkm I have no issues with assigning you all my dukes from all those earlier questions...just go there, type anything and I will assign them to you if u can solve my query...
It's gotta do with setting the classpath...and yes, i have already been thru google and forums here...
This is what i do:
- Start>Control Panel>System>Advanced>Environment Variables
- Click on Path in the System Variables section
- Click Edit and add C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.1_01\bin AFTER %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;c:\Program Files\Common Files\Adaptec Shared\System;
- Next I go to DOS and get my C prompt to C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.1_01\bin
- I type javac helloworld.java and ENTER
- I get "javac is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"
So then I go back to Start>Control Panel>System>Advanced>Environment Variables
- This time I click on New in the "User Variables for Gaurav" section(that's me) - after all i am logged in as Gaurav on my XP machine!
- I type Path in Variable Name and C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.1_01\bin in Variable Value
- Save
- goto DOS
- type helloworld.java and get "javac is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"
BTW i have installed j2re-1_4_1_01-windows-i586 on a XP machine
HELP!

At the top of your post, ther will be an option to "Assign" duke dollars. Once you assign them to your post, you will see an option to "Award" duke dollars in the header of the replies to the post.

Actually I think that respondant was suggesting that you search the JDBC forum - they had already posted some information in here.

SDN Forum points vs Sun Forum Duke Dollars

I believe that a points system is a great way to encourage participation by the community in problem solving.
With the points system in SDN, however, there is room for abuse, for example, by having people you know award points to you on threads.
I personally like the points reward system (Duke Dollars) on Sun's Developer Forums. In this scheme, you work with credits. Every user is given a certain amount of points (Duke Dollars) when they join. When you post a question, you can assign a number of Duke Dollars up front from your available credit as a reward to entice responses. You can also accumulate more Dollars by answering threads which have Dollars assigned.
Every month, Sun gives a gift to the user who has accumulated the most points.
I'm not sure that this solves the problem of users not assigning points for valid help, but, because users are working with limited credit, it does force them to be careful when assigning points, and prevents abuse as that mentioned above.
I would like to hear what other people think about this scheme. Perhaps there are aspects I have not considered.
Regards,
Martin

Would a moderator make it more positive?
Actually Craig went into each of the forums and published a "rules of engagement". Maybe that kind of a "sticky note" post would be the place to remind people about the inappropriateness of redundant questions (across various forums) and the confusion and poor sporting behavior associated with "copied" answers. I can ping Craig with that suggestion to add text if you think it makes sense to "remind" people in each of the respective forums.
Or..to be a little more provocative, we could suggest that community members who have a good track record of participation, collaboration, and exemplary attitude be given the moderator rights in forums where the activity volume might be too overwhelming for an SAP moderator alone to manage and given the rights to move content to a more appropriate thread.
This is what I meant about "self-policing". Also, perhaps the moderators (internal as well as SAP) could identify themselves in a sticky post and invite participants in those designated threads to track "abuses" or issues, thus identifying them and hopefully resolving them publically.
Strange, it reminds me that in old, Puritanical, America, of the 17th century community culprits were subjected to a public dunking or stocks when they broke the law. The purpose being that public condemnation sent a clear message to other "would be" misbehavers.... and thus deterred further bad conduct.
While a rather radical and unpleasant method it was an open way of dealing with abuses to the system.
Perhaps others can offer less extreme and more effective suggestions here
