Quote from: Contrary on October 21, 2011, 01:15:44 amWhat is reputation power and how does it work?Facebook uses the Like button. We use Reputation (formerly known as karma).When you join the forums you are automatically given 100 reputation points which is equal to 1 reputation power. For every 5 reputation power your description (that you can see when hovering your mouse over the green bars below your avatar) changes to a new text. When giving reputation to other members (using the button beneath their avatar), they gain points equal to your current reputation power. For every post that you make, you gain 1 reputation point. Starting threads gives you 3 reputation points. Your reputation power increases by 1 for every 100 reputation points that you gather. Your total reputation points can be shown on your profile, and there is also a page on your profile to see if you have received reputation from another person (this page also shows the reputation that you give to other people). There is also a setting on your profile which allows you to hide your reputation power from other users, making it seem as if your reputation power is 0.It's mainly used to display appreciation for other forum members, whether it be for something they did which required a lot of work, or a comment which you thought was very thought-provoking, helpful, etc.
