Lynda, I am still so new that I have no clue on rep points and how to give them. If I did, I'd give them all to the beach bleach blonde.
How true, and I would add that the Rep system can be a blessing or a curse. A person's reputation needs to be earned, not just given. I have noticed that a couple of our higher rep members have let it go to their head and get carried away sometimes. Fighting4yourRights, When you reach your goal, I hope that you will use your new found power for the good of the human race, and not for evil. Because what goes around, comes back again.
What are these mystery rep points? Whats the story here??
This should be just for fun, its not meant to be a vain popularity contest.
Just for fun? All this time I thought I was saving up for a new toaster!!!!!! NOW what am I gonna give the Mrs. for Christmas???
The Reputation Program is a system for members to make positive or negative comments to other members. This is done by clicking on the little white scale icon located under a members name/and or avatar. A members Rep number is basically a tenth of the total points they have earned from other members under this system.
A few rules:
1. Every ninty days, you get one point.
2. Every 100 posts, a member gets one point of reputation alternating power.
3. It takes a new member 25 posts before their rep points hit on other members.
4. A new member needs 5 points before his count hits on others.
5. A member can only give 7 reps in 24 hours.
6. A member has to give rep to seven different people before they can give rep to the same person again.
This rules can be changed at any time, in fact they have been changed once already to cut down on certain members misusing the system. Personally, I don't take a lot of stock in it. This should be just for fun, its not meant to be a vain popularity contest.
Is there a table somewhere that shows how many points everyone has? That would be interesting.
