Rep Power

[Chrono]

Quick question, what does the Rep power thing under our names.

[Elscire]

its our reputation, of course i got one :(

Actually, that's just what it says. It's how much you can affect someone else's reputation (again, from what I'm understanding). Your actual reputation can be viewed in your UserCP. If you hover your mouse over the greenish block(s), a statement will come up - each one is different for each specified amount of reputation. 10 or more will say *User* is on a distinguished road; 50 or more will say *User* has growing potential. It just goes up with increasing increments.

If you don't have that great of a reputation now, don't worry, as we just have started using the reputation system and it will take a while for some to get use to it. :)

so how does the number get bigger?

[Kiros]

The Rep Power? It gets bigger according to your own reputation. Reputation is affected by a number of things, including number of posts since reputation system started, duration of membership after reputation system started, and (the majority) users voting.

ya, just a quick question. Is their any way we can tell witch posts we have actuly reseved reputation on. other that having to go through every sing post we have made. And also i was just looking at a thread and i saw that next to Josh's and Triple7's rep power thing were it is normaly green it is black, what dose that mean? Is it an admin thing?

[Bobby]

They disabled rep... Kiros has it because he's a conselour.

[Underage_Thinker]

ahh, so dose that mean their rep dosent go up. Or that you can't add to it?

[Elscire]

Actually, the Reputation System is enabled for everyone, however, Josh and Francis have their default Rep Power of 10 as it's still set in their account information, while I am using the same rules as everyone else. Anyway, you can all vote to approve or disapprove of someone's posts. This is what you should do: use the Reputation System! :)

Though as a tip, if you provide helpful information with plenty of content in a post, people are more likely to vote for you to add to your reputation. If flame someone or purposefully be rude to someone or the community in general, people are more likely to vote against you to subtract from your reputation. It's a good thought keep in mind before every post ;)
