Don't worry about it too much. The early handling of the rep system has all but made it useless now.

 

[GCAdidas13 10+ year member]

If someone likes you, they click the little weighing dishes at the bottom of the very left of your post and they click "I approve of this post."

Then, depending on how much green reputation THEY have, yours will go up. For example, if I repped you positively, your reputation will only go up a little bit, whereas if NGSM repped you positively, your reputation will go up a LOT.

The same thing goes with: not liking you, clicking "I disapprove of this post.", going down.

Also rep is anonymous. Basically it's just popularity.

You get a limited amount of rep per time period, and you can't rep the same person too much.

why wont they show the username right next to the reputation? We should be able to know who's giving what reputation feedback.

I just mentioned that in another thread. Someone told me that moderators cant make that happen or whatever...Admin can and should be able to. This site is powered by V-Bulletin, so just like other forums I frequent they can and should make it happen...

My $.02

Because then it would simply be a retaliatory thing, instead of repping people for posts that are worthy of being repped..either positive or negative.

If someone negs you (for a post worthy of a neg rep)...you would probably go back and neg them out of pure vengence. That is not how the system is supposed to work.

Not neccessarily, ive seen it work in other places where the flaming was 100x worse. It could work, but as I said it could prevent abuse. People, neg repping people with other users names creates tension and animosity. I understand what you mean though. Cant expect everyone to be honest and mature about it. Especially in OFF-Topic discussions. Very good point though. Maybe it should be done away with all together. Therfore time and posts count could validate your forum credibility.

It has nothing to do with that.

It just lets other members know if you are a doucherocket or a respected member

Well, that's what it's supposed to do anyways....
