What are Reputation Points and how do you get them?

I just discovered this.
I also discovered how to put smiles inside the post.
Cheers.
It took me awhile to figure out how to do all that too.
Doing anything crazy, like what???

I always forget to use the whole quote thing....sorry about that.
I figure I'll wait till I hit 1,000 POSTS to start trying to do anything CRAZY like putting smiles into my posts!
This is joking....but I really just figured it out a few days ago.....
One thing I don't understand, and I see it regularly... a new member posts a question as their first post. Could be anything - where to find a school in a particular art in a particular town, a style-specific technical question, an historical question, anything - and they get rep points.
Why would somebody get rep points for asking a simple question in their first post?

Say the new member studies that same discipline as someone else already here and that person decides to award them a rep point.Say its someone from their school or someone they have met and trained with.....I've given rep points for something as simple as some posting a great joke..I've seen points given for someone asking an intelligent question..It's strickly up to the individual...
Actually, there are set rules for assigning rep points. It's not a system to be used just to prop your buddies, or as a substitute for private messaging, nor is it something to be used to continually slam a member or set of members.
As far as why a person would rep someone on their first post, depends entirely on the individual.
Personally, I've repped someone for "asking a simple question" because the question may have looked simple...but it was still a good question to ask.

I better go back and edit my post and re-read the rules...
RTFM:rules: :lol:
Questions are often, maybe even typically, the triggers for an outstanding discussion. And bear in mind, a new member is often going to be a bit intimidated either in commenting (who am I to be chiming in along with these people with thousands of posts each?) or questioning (won't people laugh at me or get impatient for asking something that's probably so obvious/well-known/trivial/etc?) So repping a new member's useful question is a way (and a powerful one, I believe) to encourage them: yes, that's exactly what we're hoping for from you on MT, keep up the good work, etc. Actually, in some ways it's the most effective use of the rep system, I think.
Nobody loves me , everybody hate me, I'm gonna eat some worms..
Sorry... the rules explicitly say somewhere that after a couple of thousand posts and well on your way towards a third gold star, you're not allowed to raise questions about why you didn't get repped for you first few posts! :lol:

Hey, Drac, my favorite song! But I learned it as:
Everybody hates me,
Nobody loves me,
Guess I'll go eat worms.
At least, that's how I've been singing it the last 50 years. :lol:
