I think ...

Edit: I requested that "Add reputation - how it works" be posted somewhere. Including all the abuse-proof features the mod been talking about, and everything pertinent to it.

Isn't the "cprogramming.com" logo supposed to point to cprogramming.com instead of cboard.cprogramming.com?

Code:

int main(void)

    RoD();
    return 0;
}

int RoD(void)
{
    while(1=1)
    {
        PostSomething();
    }
    return 0;
}

The way it works - from what I can tell - the black ones with positive comments are from people with ectremely little or no reputation power. Because they are new here, have few posts, or have no reputation themselves - their votes count for little or nothing until they get a reputation here. This prevents rep pumping through dummy accounts. When RoD voted for you he probably had a rep power of 0, therefore his vote didn't count for anything.

I believe it stay's the same...check your profile to see what a real negative looks like...I have rep power...

What if everyone disapproves everyone else right in the beginning... then nobody has any rep, so nobody can give rep to anyone else... Is there any safeguard against someone coming here and clicking 'disapprove' on everybody else infinitely (do a circuit type of thing so that they don't get "spread some rep around first"), until everyone's rep has thoroughly been ruined?

**An info sticky on how reps work would be nice...

There is a limit to the number of rep ratings a person can give in a day.

A sticky - or addition to the rules is possible or even likely. I've been thinking about that - right now I don't want to add clutter to the boards, but I'll figure out where to put it and add one soon...like after my exams are finished .
