So I went through this "Website" board and figured out how reputation works, but I still have a couple of questions.

 

First, what good are these points? Do they serve some purpose besides informing you of something you did well/poorly? I'm just curious.

 

Second, the point values. I went to give someone a positive reputation point, and saw that you can give +1, none, or -1. However, the other day I saw that someone had given a user +1000 reputation points. How is this possible?

 

Also, can you change the points you've given to a user? For example, if I gave someone +1 points for a good thread, but then wanted to change the points to -1 because of a bad thread, would that be possible?

1. They really don't mean anything. I guess to point out good and bad members...?:huh:

2. Like Oblivion said, Aaron is an admin (aka king), so he can pretty much do anything.

3. You can change your rep of someone at pretty much any time.

EDIT: Heh, someone posted before I was done writing. Thanks for the info!

Reputation is basically just points that people can gain or lose depending really of if a person is liking the other member or not. It's kind of an ego booster, and nothing really more. There's no real rewards other than friendship and respect that you gain out of reputation points. You can get positive and negative, but usually most people just do positive.

 

Just give it some time, and be a good active member like you already are, the rep points will come sooner or later. <3
