Here is a brief summary of our reputation system....

in the blue bar just above each post (where the post time and report SPAM icon is), there is an icon that looks like a scale ... you click on that to add reputation. I believe the little green squares just below that is the actual reputation..

Here is the definition of the reputation scores if you guys want to have fun and i will change them in the admin side:

-999999 User is infamous around these parts
-50 User can only hope to improve
-10 User has a little shameless behaviour in the past
0 User is an unknown quantity at this point
10 User is on a distinguished road
50 User will become famous soon enough
150 User has a spectacular aura about
250 User is a jewel in the rough
350 User is just really nice
450 User is a glorious beacon of light
550 User is a name known to all
650 User is a splendid one to behold
1000 User has much to be proud of
1500 User has a brilliant future
2000 User has a reputation beyond repute

woohoo! kewl little gadget we got going on, hope everyone enjoys the new "grading" system.

As recommended by me, I think we should refer to it as the motivation meter, where you reward someone for doing something good today.

Somehow I don't think I'll be getting very good marks with this one I *think* I am nice though...

How do you figure out the person's reputation though? By the number of squares the person has?

Yea, thats a good question....and how do you know when you've recieved any rep.??

Hehe, i gave some good reputation to you, newbride!

Bjork

well thank you !! See, and I didn't know..how do you know when and who gave you rep??

i guess you just wont know til you get to the next level and your thingy changes colors. but click on your scale thing and it should tell you how many points you have.

doesn't work for me

Look at your user Control Panel! At the bottom it says how many points you have, but it does not say from whom.

Is anybody actually doing this reputation stuff?

thats funny, it works for me. when i click on my scale it tells me how many points i have.

I give out reputation points when someone is really helpful to me! I'm eternally stuck at 11 pts though

Ah, I know I post to other message boards exactly to this one and it will tell you who it's from and they can even leave a comment.

Yea, I leave some rep. I forget alot though. I can't figure out how to tell who they are from
