When did we get it and how does it work?

Re: Reputation?

you click on a person's balancing scale icon next to the online/offline light under their avatar and basic info. It was added yesterday I believe?

Re: Reputation?

Ok but what does it do?

Re: Reputation?

You say whether you like a persons posts or not. That establishes a measure of reputation, so you can see whether a member has a reputation as a good member/poster.

Note this shouldn't be used to say you dislike someone's post just because you disagree w/ it. It's about their contribution to discussion and to the forum.

Re: Reputation?

It's like a badge of respectability amongst the forum members. It's not necessary but people in other forums like it and use it often.

Is the little green square below "posts" the reputation marker? You need more reputation to get more sqaures? Is that how it works?

I don't know about that, but I would assume the same since that's what was added along w/ the feature... Perhaps Jgk can answer this question since he's had some experience with this feature.

Of the 2 other forums I post on, 1 doesn't have this feature and on the other, it's not popular/used.

Re: Reputation?

yes, your green bar thingy grows with more reputation. I'm not sure how many it takes for you to gain a square though, maybe 10?

Re: Reputation?

they have things like this on other forums, the proboards forums feature a thumbs up and thumbs down button, and is called karma and you can get on the negative side of the scale also. however in order to regulate people just marking someone down b/c they dislike them, it allows you to only raise or lower on persons karma every hour. As for how it'll work on here I'm not sure but if there are no limits on it I'm gonna go ahead from now and say all the Turkish members, and some armos are going to have low or bad reputation
