Rep Explained

[LiNuX]

I would like to add some things as well

is what describes your reputation. The more you have, just means the more you are known throughout the forum. When it goes red, you are in trouble.

If you want to check your last rep received, you can click on usercp and on the bottom, you should be able to see the last 5 given to you. You will know if I have given you rep because I always end with ~LiNuX.

Second thing I want to add is, you cannot give the same person reputation (positive or negative) twice in a row. You must spread your reputation gift to at least 5 other members before you can give to the same user. This will avoid cheating and giving too much neg rep to people that dont like others.

Your Default rep is 10 - means one little blob. When you give rep to others, it is usually between 1-10. The more the person has received rep for that one post, the next rep received will be worth a little more. When an admin gives or takes away rep, it affects 35 points.

Every 100 days that you are registered on this forum, you will gain 1 point of reputation-altering power. For every 200 posts you have, you will gain another rep altering power. And for every 500 rep points you recieve, you will gain an extra rep altering power.

You must have a minimum of 5 Posts to alter other's reps and at least 5 rep points to alter. Note that this is half of what you start with.

You can practice by giving me and slacker some rep for these great tips .

Enjoy the forum!
