Title says it all. Here are some of guidelines the system will follow for now. This is subject to change.

For every 30 days, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power.

For every 25 posts, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power.

For every 20 points of reputation, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power.

How many posts must a user have before his reputation hits count on others? 25

How much reputation must a user have before his reputation hits count on others? 25

How many reputation clicks can a user give over each 24 hour period? 5

How many different users must you give reputation to before you can hit the same person again? 10

We will see how these settings play out and I will alter them if need be.

I am working on limiting forum use for reputation but its a custom hack so it will take some time.

Board supporters, Gold Members can SEE who left reputation. Registered members cannot.

what do the light green dots versus the dark green dots mean?

**Dwight Schrute** · 11-01-2005, 08:19 PM

Colors change the more you get.

You were grey, now you are green

**tattoopierced1** · 11-01-2005, 09:59 PM

not to sound like a tard, but how do you leave rep points for ppl?

**Dwight Schrute** · 11-01-2005, 10:05 PM

See the scale icon at the bottom left of your profile? Click it.

New rep points will show on the main page at the top right along with your new PM's and also NEW posts since you last visited.

**CROWLER** · 11-02-2005, 12:01 AM

I just wanted to post so I could see how many rep points I have.

I am not too familure with them but why does Tatoo up above have more posts but less rep points than Hypo up above.

Tatoo this isn't personal lol

I am guessing it is because alot of Tatoos posts were in an area of the board where a person does not get rep points for the posts they make?

**Dwight Schrute** · 11-02-2005, 12:06 AM

Your rep points are based on mostly what other people give you. Although post count plays a very SMALL role in gaining points you can gain points but its miniscule compared to what you receive fomr quality posts.

In Hypos case, I repped him which means it gives him 10 points rather than 1.

When admin's rep, its 10 points given.

**Dwight Schrute** · 11-02-2005, 12:07 AM

Have some for starters

Damn Bobo, I didn't even know yellow was possible.

I like the idea, let's see how well it works at a board with some sense.

**CROWLER** · 11-02-2005, 12:08 AM

Well I had a post saying I had a big fat goose egg for rep points but like magic it changed. lol

You are always thinking Bobo nice going

**snakebyte05** · 11-02-2005, 12:10 AM

A lot has changed on this board since I have been here. I am not sure about the rep points if I like them, It just reminds me of bb.com a lot, plus I am not sure if it will always show who more knowledgable people are. Guess I'll give it a shot.

Yeah, I'm still tinkering with it. If you get high enough there are gold stars...ooooo

Like when you got an A in elementary school...I loved those gold stars...

LOL, yeah the ones you would get on your hand.

I'm just not sure about the comment when you place your arrow over the points, your said a glorious beacon of light, I find that humerous.

**Matthew D** · 11-02-2005, 12:15 AM

Nice just wondering how low my rep will be

Ha...those are the default ones. I can change it to whatever people want. It doens't work in Firefox though. I had to use IE to see it.

You did know there was a karma system here before bb.com ever had any rep points, right?

But when the kiddies over there use it, its a bit different than over here.

**glenihan** · 11-02-2005, 12:38 AM

bobo .. i see your reputation precedes you

oh man i crack myself up

**Dwight Schrute** · 11-02-2005, 12:38 AM

**Grifter** · 11-02-2005, 02:54 AM

I like this new rep system. Good addition Bobo.

**dsl** · 11-02-2005, 04:17 AM

Are the numbers for one thing and the squares for another?

**bda55** · 11-02-2005, 07:51 AM

The number is your 'rep power' and the squares represent your reputation if I'm not mistaken. It seems Matt has received alot of rep yet

**max-rot98** · 11-02-2005, 08:26 AM

so how do you see who rep'd you then?

**EEmain** · 11-02-2005, 10:16 AM

Anyone else feel like the are reading a fortune cookie when you mouse-over the dots.

**** is on a distinguished road.

**** has some shamless behavoir in his past.

***** will be famous soon.

Your User CP. Only Board supporters, Gold members, Sponsors, etc... can SEE who repped them though.

**ersatz** · 11-02-2005, 12:45 PM

Rep system is lame IMO. It's almost a system of censorship as if you state something that goes against the norm you'll be neg repped and those who contribute to the typical brotelligence get added reps. Almost ensures conformity for fear of reprisal or reprimand. This system seems to confer a sense of credibility but I've seen erroneous posts by those with high reps/karma and the refutations put forth by users will lower reps are easily dismissed.

**Dwight Schrute** · 11-02-2005, 12:57 PM

I love the terms. Brotelligence, comformity, system, credibility....

You would think were talking about a government.

Its a ****ing message board and a green light. Get over it.

If you don't like it, you don't need to be here.

Right on. So many are in an uproar over this like it's going to bring down AM. It's a pat on the back, a way of saying "Good post" without cluttering up a thread. What makes any of you think that the mods here - who thusfar have done an outstanding job of keeping everything straight - are going to let this turn AM into BB.com? Talk about making a mountain out of a molehill.

**Poobah** · 11-02-2005, 01:36 PM

I just hope I don't crack under the pressure... Must make every post count now... well after this one..
