I'd like to add for everyone to make sure they hit wether they approve or not.I've got 4 blue negative reps but the responses are possitive ones.

 

[Smokin Moose]

The blue marks are often from members who do not yet have enough rep power to add a rep, but it still shows up - it is not a neg rep necessarily if it appears in blue - just a new member.

OK good to know,thanks Moose.

 

[Smokin Moose]

Also folks, pls make sure you add your name in the box when giving a rep, or the recipient will not know who it came from.

 

[PFlynn]

how does it determin how much rep it adds when i add to somebodys rep?

By how manny Rep points you get.The more rep you get the more you give out.

This will help

hahah, if you click on the thread it came from it will 'auto load' the thread and scroll to the post the rep was given. (so its pretty easy to see who did what even without it being posted in the comment section) Also, All mods see who rep'ed who. yep, thats right, I am watching you

Also, the more rep a person has, the more points the person getting rep'ed gets. So like when Smokin Moose gives a rep, its worth more points (not sure what the levels are) as opposed to a newbie forum member, they will give only 1 rep point.

Lastly, if you click on the scales of one of your own post, it will tell you if you got any rep points for that post, and will tell you what the comment(s) was/were (if any). It will also give you your current rep total.

Cue music

the more you know!

Just a reminder about repping for our newer members.

 

[Smokin Moose]

A reminder that rep points are only a means of acknowledging your peers quality and value of posting. As far as recipients and rep point accumulations, I find that largely irrelevant. I award reps points because they are earned. My personal total of rep points is purely an indicator of the time I have spent here. It confers no staus whatsoever on me, and I see it purely as an indicator of the value of my contributions here. I hope that may help clear up some misconceptions.

I find the giving of rep points an important function of the forum. Rep points should be used to indicate a post or image of value. Conversley, you can give a negative rep to posts that you don't agree with. Rep points are a peer value tool and are an indication of one's standing in the community. The previous reps thread devolved into a trawling for reps exercise and served no purpose other than an amusement. So folks, use your reps wisely.

Yeah, I agree Moose. I may not have hundreds of reputation points, but I've earned all of the rep I have. I recieved a very nice rep comment last night from a newer member, and I especially like getting rep from newer members, because even though it doesn't add to your points, you know that you've helped out someone new and it makes them realize we're willing to help anyone, as long as they ask.

 

[Smokin Moose]

Thank you for understanding.
