What are Reputation Points and how do you get them?

[Jonathan Randall]

someone gave me negative rep for this, cant exactly figure out why...

I just dont understand some things...

Well, I put some rep back on your acct. I've been dinged for some strange things myself. A seemingly innocuous post inexplicably raises someone's ire. I'm very careful about giving negative points, though. The person has to really, really be acting like a jerk for me to do so. Usually I just ignore it and save the rep feature for those gems that deserve recognition.

At least the Admins. here have put some safeguards into the system. One board I visited allowed unlimited negative reviews which caused "karma point" feuds on an otherwise great board. Here, I can tell quickly whose probably a troublemaker and whose not. I've noticed banned users seemed to have accumulated a lot of neg. rep.

Anyway, love your posts and best of luck in your Kenpo journey.

Not to worry Pale Rider . The points as Samantha points out are just for fun. Perhaps try giving out points yourself instead, for it is far better to give than to receive! :asian:

MJ

AMEN! I like giving points out to good posts.

 

[Pale Rider]

Thank you all for the points that all have awarded me. I know that they mean really nothing, but it is rewarding to know that someone thought enough of my post to say "Here is points for you"....

Thank you all

Official Answer:

how the system works.

For each 1 green dot, you have 100 points
For each 1 bright green dot, you have 200 points
For each 1 red dot, you have -100 points
For each 2 dark red dot, you have -200 points

and there is a cap at 11 dots either way.


This is hardcoded into the software.

And what do the gold dots represent? I think there's more than 11 dots now, btw...

Revised System:

Dark Green = 150
Light Green = 250
Gold = 800
Gold Stars = 10,000
Grey = 0
Dark Red = -150
Light Red = -250
Red Stars = -10,000

You can have a max of 5 Dk Green, 5 Lt Green, and 10 Gold Dots. When you hit that limit, you'll get a Gold Star, and "Start Over".

As always, my popcorn is your popcorn. C'mon, pull up a chair and we'll watch Beau age right before our eyes.

 

[shesulsa]

*silently walks up behind Gemini and Lisa, grabs a handful of popcorn, raises eyebrow at Beau and pops a piece of corn*

So whatcha gonna do, fella?

 

[Rich Parsons]

So, Bob and I both get Cool. By giving the compliments to others that were differnet than cool this means I am not like this? Who said I was not fashionable? Who said I was not hot. Heck it is 73 F out and I just pushed mowed my lawn, I am hot now.


Poor Poor Beau.

Hey ya big bullies
Leave my man Beau alone, nothing wrong with a little friendly ingratiation come on now.

Beau, my own ID is filled all the way up like Shesulsa only I've got lots and lots of GOLD, not just one or two. Man, this set of permanent markers has really been worth the investment, ha! I think every Supporting Membership should come with an optional bolt-on extra of a kingsize pack of pens. I mean, all those little stars and pips are kinda hard to draw so small and my laptop screen's a bit um... wrecked now, but hey! Worth it for my HUGE reputation!!

In the meantime, my tip Beau, stick to the impermanent variety oh and of course, make certain there's a GOLD one in there too before you buy, LOL

Yr most obdt hmble srvt,
Jenna

 

[beau_safken]

I'm so screwed...lol

Nope Rich I didn't sort. Just picked a couple.

Yep, you could melt Ice like Chuck Norris stares are books till they tell him what he wants to know.

I can't believe I wasted my 500th post on this.
