I was snoopin around the site, and found out I have 19 reputation points. Is that good or bad, and how do I get said points?

 

there is a thread about this right now in the general forum. the more the better. i just gave you some. to give points find a users post and click on the silver scale in the upper right corner.

 

Hey, thanks! Eye for an eye, so here's some for you!

 

so where do I look to see what my rep is like?

 

Ok I found them I have 15 right now. I will have to remember these to give out where it is due. So here you are t-dickie for letting us know you deserved it.

 

Question how does a person see who or what was said when we get a reputation point? I like to know what I do right for others .

 

Holy guys, ya keep givin me these points and my heads gonna get too big to fit through the door to my compy room!

 

Good point, I would like to know too. One of us should PM a modertor and find out if there is a way.

 

What's the benefit of accumlating these points? Is there a prize or something? I don't think you have to but there is a list of comments from those that have given you points. The comments should indicate your good deed....encouragement....advice or whatever.

 

i think i have 10 rep points yay me

 

Woo I didnt even know a guy could do that!

 

OK, this is how it works:

If you go to a USER's post and you think it is a good post (good info, user went above and beyond, etc.) then you can click the Scales in the top right hand corner of THEIR post. A window will come up and allow you to click APPROVE or DISAPPROVE of their post and make a comment.

Always make a comment (gives the user more points) and click approve. You should not click DISAPPROVE (give negative points) in my opinion just because it could come back to haunt you (user will always be watching for you).

You can view the comments that user's gave you by clicking USER CP in the top left hand corner of the screen. When the new page comes up go to the bottom right and it should have Latest Reputation Received. You will have up to 15 comments from users (it used to only show 5). If you can't see any comments you either don't have any or you need to click the double DOWN ARROWS beside the points total. It will also show you for what thread as well. Click the thread title and you will see the post you received them on.

Once you get 100+ points then you will get 2 green squares beside your name. And so on for every 100 points. You will get points based on a users reputation. So for example, you will get little points from a new user but you will get more points from someone who has been here for a while that has a good reputation.

You do not get ANYTHING for the points you receive. It is basically just a pat on the back to make you feel good. Try not to abuse the point system and just give out points for fun or just because. Do it because you really feel as though a user went out of their way or deserve the points. You don't necessarily need to give a user points BACK just because they gave you some.

And Morris (Fomoko1) the green squares are only for reputation, nothing else.
Hope this helps.

P.S. Just to let you know I have 123 points.

 

Ok Now I comprehend this and I will not misuse it. Thanks Beast12 for explaining this to us of the unknown.

 

I hate to say it but " I TOLD YOU SO " hehehe

 

Thanks Matt, you know this means I lose the discussion about the green squares.
I thought they were given for bringing new subscribers to FTE.
