Question About Reputation

[pickleboy]

although this is not a product request it is the only place i know that you guys monitor on a regular basis so here its the question. since the forum upgrade i have been seeing the reputation ratings and was curious as to the rating scale, ie: worst to best. and how does a person gain or lose reputation? it might be nice to know even though it does not have a lot of bearing on my activity i am just the nosey person that has to ask. thanks again guys for the forum.

Re: question for caswell guys.

Reputation is gained or lost by other users clicking on the scale icon next to each post and either approving or disapproving of your post.

The scale is:

User is infamous around these parts -9999
User can only hope to improve -50
User has a little shameless behaviour in the past -10
User is an unknown quantity at this point 0
User is on a distinguished road 10
User will become famous soon enough 50
User has a spectacular aura about 150
User is a jewel in the rough 250
User is just really nice 350
User is a glorious beacon of light 450
User is a name known to all 550
User is a splendid one to behold 650
User has much to be proud of 1000
User has a brilliant future 1500
User has a reputation beyond repute 2000

Re: Question About Reputation

You should be able to give reputation once per post.

You should be able to give reputation once per post.

It will not allow you to give the same person even in another thread any more reputation.

Re: Question About Reputation

Just found something out: it will only allow you to give any one person 3 reputation points in a 24 hour time period. Haha, I was bored so I decided to click on certain people's names and select the "find all posts by so-and-so" button and then just go through and give them a reputation point for all their posts. LOL, made me stop at 3. But hey, "some" people are 3 points richer now.
