hey one thing i din know anywhere was (i dont think it is even mentioned in ur faq) about ur reputation points. what r they how do u get them? and what are those greeen or purple or whatever colored blocks below the ids of members?and whenever u keep ur mouse on that it says "gooddevil is an unknown quantity at this point". for some few it says something like "______ is on a distinguished road " or something to that effect. what r all these could someone explain?
Reputation is what other people think about you. If they like your post then they can add to your reputation and if they don't like it they can take away from your reputation. Whether this is a good feature or not is debatable.
Green bars mean you have a good reputation, red bars mean you have a bad reputation, grey bars mean you have no reputation and black bars mean you've disabled the feature. I've seen some people have two bars as opposed to one, but I have no idea what that means. Maybe it means they have over 100 points. The comments for each reputation are different depending on how many points you have. You're an unknown quantity at first, then on a distinguished road, then you'll be famous soon enough. I haven't seen anything higher than that yet.
If you look closely at a post you'll see a link that says "Add to so-and-so's reputation". Click that to see what you can do.
As you gain (or lose) reputation, the number of bars will increase based on the magnitude of your reputation, so it's possible to have quite a few bars.
it's a very stupid feature. Before a mod reset my reputation I had -40 points because people just gave me negative reputation on every post i made. even if it was intelligent.
EDIT: i KNEW that last line would be made into a pun of some sort.
Of course it had nothing to do with you being a dumb arse Xterria.
Is that even possible?Quote:

hey prelude,
u have a pretty cute avatar there . everytime i see it i get a smile on my face.
ahh, so it was you two!
please arrest them webmaster.
Prelude is jealous of my two green boxes btw :)
>whats reputation?
- Don't post anything biased, otherwise red boxes will come your way.
- Don't post your opinion, because other people may not agree with your post and send you you-know-what (and hate comments.)
- Don't post anything true, because truth hurts.
- Don't post anything false, because you're lying.
------------------------------------------------
- Don't post anything (Yes, I am ........ed off now.)
Hmm I've only had 1 red box and I know I'm an arse.
What might be good is if there was a limit of how many rep hits you can get for a particular post. That way if you do mess up you can't get slammed by everyone.
i own u all, im easy to get along with.
HAH.
i dont know why but i have got a red for this post. i dont think i hurt anyone with this. or did i?
Maybe someone didn't like you whining about why you got negative points.
How do you know?Quote:

You can check your most recent reputation additions and the total points under User CP. If the person giving you reputation is considerate then they'll include a comment about why they gave you the rating and who they are. But don't expect many to include their names in the comment. :rolleyes:;)
Ah, so Ober will see that somebody has tarnished his glowing reputation, but won't know it's me!
Oops.
yeah... cuz I didn't figure it out right away :rolleyes: Way to be stealthy, baldy ;)
Quick! Everyone behind the pool to see what Rob and Ober are up to! (check both of your reps) ;)
*blushes*
Is it possible to see other's reputation points?
Also, how many points are added or removed at a time?
You can't see the actual value of another's rep but you can see what "group" they are in by the number of boxes and their color and the text that goes along with it.Quote:

That is based off of their reputation power which is based off of their reputation, number of posts, how long they have been a member, and some admin tweaked variables.Quote:

Oh, okay. Thanks.
There are always a few people who post intelligently, and every time I try to add to their reps, it tells me to spread it around more :P
That few, eh? =)
Let's see... Prelude, Prelude... and webmaster? :P
Err, gcn_zelda, you have a little something on your chin. =b
I wonder what I did that got me ten rep? I haven't been around in a year or so.
I think 10 is the default or something
ah god, i'm getting the negative reputation again for no reason?
WHO ARE YOU?
i didn't even do anything and i just got three things of negative reputation on all different posts with no reason or explanation.
Report it to a mod.
Things I would like to see changed:
1) Only so many negitive hits on a particular post
2) Requirement to put something in the feeback part if giving a negitive rep
>Requirement to put something in the feeback part if giving a negitive rep
That won't do much. People would just start putting stuff like 'YOUR A L0S3R!!!!1111' then.
Yes but then you can see exactly how childish the person is :)
But it still does nothing to stop the issue. Besides, if someone is spamming bad rep, it becomes rather obvious that they're childish.
I believe their name should be logged with it.
Their name is logged, its just not reported to you. I know the admins have access to see who gave it. Not sure if the global mods do or not.
XSquared the main reason I think we should have it is not for the childish ones but for the people who might be upset with a post and just click the link. I think by having to put something there it will make them think for a second of why they want to give a negitive review. It won't stop the arseclowns but I think it would be a better overall improvement.
I meant logged to the user.Quote:

we should have the right to know who decides they want to give you negative rep just for the hell of it.
nm
If you have a problem take it up with the admins/mod
And how exactly should we determine who gets to know who gave them positive/negative rep, Xterria?
how about you just dont pay attention to your reputation on an internet message board and go:
A. Take over the world
B. Write a killer game
C. Get a hot girl
Or:
D. All of the above.
thanks for the reality check david.
