How's the Rep Point System work?

[Talking Poker]

Now for some accurate answers, if anyone is interested:

1. Hovering pver the Green/Red bars will give you the RANGE, but note that 1 bar <> 100 Rep points. If you are at +1, you'll have one green bar. If you are at + 501, you'll have 6 Green bars. If you are at 749, you will STILL have 6 green bars (I think - no one is this high yet, so I'm not certain). This is because the size of the ranges increase. The range shabi is in now is 500-749, for example. Also note that no matter how many -Rep points you get, you will only ever have 1 bar (again, I think - no one is < -100).

2/3. These appear to be the same question, so I'll answer them again. The default for this was 10, but I changed it to 5 months ago. I then changed it AGAIN - to 4- because I was getting tired of seeing 10 posts per day with people copying and pasting the "You must spread some reputation around" error message. The reason this is in place is so someone can't continuously hammer you with -Rep, like collieo would have surely done to you bunny, if he was allowed to.

I'm going to modify the above rules with two other points we haven't discussed yet:
1. If you have -Rep, your Rep hits won't count on others.
2. You can give a maximum of 25 Rep hits every 24 hours.

Quick question for bunny: Why are you so obsessed with the Rep system all of a sudden?

I never paid much attention to it until coolie started to send me bad comments.

I've noticed that in most threads, there's always a little mention of the rep system, either someone received it for good, bad or... happy to have hit the 6 bar mark. I never knew the details to that system and was curious (wouldn't say obsessed) to understand it better. Thankyou for clarifying it for me.

ps: I'm sure most new members would be curious to know what those little green or red bars stand for. Maybe it should be inserted in the FAQ or sticky it, now that it's all detailed the way it should be.

Nah, that's why we have this:


I prefer to have as few stickies as possible. If I stickied all good/interesting threads, the first page or two of each section would be all stickies. And that would be a mess.

But the search feature only works if you know the 'keyword' in order to find a post or thread.

If a new member comes in and wants to know about the green and red bars, it would be difficult for them to find out about it, without the keyword "reputation system."

Thrash - You'd have to thrash all 3 of them in order to be doomed. If you slam one you might have a chance with the other 2.

[Talking Poker]

Well, I guess they'll just have to stick around a little bit until they get the hang of it, just like everyone else.
