Reputation System?

[USViking]

How does the reputation point system work here?

Is in in writing somewhere?- if so where?

I belong to another board which had a rep point system (I did not participate), but dropped it after a few months.

On the other board I think the rep points were not publicly visible. Members could view their own in the User's section, where the assigners' comments, if any, could also be viewed.

It's not 'credible' in the sense of the most points being the 'best' poster. This is a conservative board, so many of the libs have few points. On the other hand, you will find few that are 'reasonable' that have negative points.

It's a nice way to say you like what someone posted, give a kudo here and there.

Hit "User CP", top left to view.

Thank you for the reply, and I appreciate your kind kudo to me (I just now looked in user CP).

Is it written down somewhere, though?

I have a question. How is rep power assigned? Does it go by length of time you have been a memeber, or by rep points, or what?

I think it goes by post count.

So that's why I have so many!

When Mm & I were away due to our computer being down, we lost rep power & points for being inactive. Mm gets into the heart of the board so he really racked them back up. Me on the other hand, I stay on the lighter side of things....most of the time....so it's taken me quite a while to get them back.

LOL, I just noticed that now!

You get points, too, if you post in the "pics" thread under General Chat so people can see who they're bickering or agreeing with.

Your rep power goes by your rep points received and the amount of posts. When we first started you got one point for every 100 points and I believe it was every 500 posts, been a long time since then, so long as you were on the positive side of course. Now it is every 300 points and every 1000 posts. You can watch your rep power rise as you reach each milestone, so long as you are in the positive side of things (that is still a requirement.)

I didn't get any points for that!

Oh wait, so long as you are not mofugly must be a rule.

You didn't lose points for inactivity - we 'all' lost them when the new rules for awarding points came into effect.

Thanks. I was given the other reason by someone.

Man, I've been here like twice as long as you and I have half the rep points! People don't like me apparently.

Gee, I sure wish people would raise my rep. points!... C'mon, people, how bout those points!... GIVE ME REP. POINTS!!!! (*hint, hint*)
