Rep Question

[sportyyy]

How many post do you need before you can give rep? Do you have a rep number? If yes how can you check that number? If yes how many rep points = 1 bar? How many bars can you have?

Sorry for the questions, thanks in advance!

You can give rep, regardless of how many posts you have. Although, if your rep is neutral or negative, whenever you give out rep, it has no effect on that person's rep.

As for your other question, i'm not sure how many rep points equal a rep bar, but for each 50 reputation points you gain ( positive ), you earn 1 rep power.

Thanks guys, whats the best way to get rep?

You can check your rep (points, power, rep messages) all under user cp. They're the initial thing that appears when you click on it in the top left corner.
The best way to get rep is to post good advice, answer peoples questions. Don't ask for it though. Really, on this site, rep isn't really a measure of anything other than popularity. It doesn't count for anything so I wouldn't focus all your attention on gaining rep. Enjoy the other features the site has to offer.

Make good posts. But rep is not important. You shouldn't worry too much about it. It's just rep.

Post good material, and put effort into your posts. That's the best advice I can give you.:)

Also, i'll quote what the FAQ says about reputation. This should answer some of your questions about rep.

What is reputation?

Reputation is a way of rating users depending on the quality of their posts. If the administrators have enabled reputation, then the reputation icon will be visible in posts.

Reputation may be positive , negative or neutral . Negative reputation may only be given if the administrator has enabled this. Neutral reputation is only given when the person giving reputation does not meet the criteria set by the administrator to affect someone else's reputation.

How do I give reputation?

To give reputation, click on the reputation icon in the relevant post. This will reveal a form to complete with the reputation type and the reason for giving the reputation. If negative reputation is disabled then it will not be displayed in this form. You may not give reputation for the same post twice.

How do I know what reputation I have received?

You can view the reputation that you have received in your User CP (User Control Panel) where it is displayed at the bottom of the User CP page. Here you will see the latest reputation that you have received and whether this is positive, negative or neutral. Your total reputation will be shown as series of reputation indicators in your posts and profile. The more positive your reputation, the more positive icons will be shown. The more negative your reputation the more negative icons will be shown.

How much reputation is given? What is reputation power?

If the administrator has enabled this, the amount of reputation that each user will give (or take away if negative) is shown in the user's posts as 'Reputation Power'. The value of the reputation power is determined by the administrator and may increase over time depending on the settings they have applied.

What if I don't want anyone to see my reputation?

You can disable the display of your reputation by going to your User CP and selecting Edit Options. On this page you will find a check box labelled 'Show Your Reputation Level'. Un-checking this box will remove the display of your reputation and replace it with the Reputation Disabled icon. You can still give and receive reputation while your reputation display is disabled.
