Just a question...

[TheLampIncident]

What does this rep power thing in my posts mean? I just noticed it today.

[otepsoul]

your rep in this site.

[chubz]

what is it based on? number of posts?

[HiaWataH]

What does that rep means ?
Its a rep...

I want to know too what it means.but with that answer...I still know nothing

sorry

[otepsoul]

its your rep on this site your post and how well your known mines at 23.

[HiaWataH]

Thanks :thumbsup:

[TheLampIncident]

I'm still not content with that answer. It's too vague. Is there any kind of mathematical way of explaining it?

[gehtfuct]

Its your reputation as a member.
You know, If you say something people like,they add it too your rep.

it seems than that I am not saying enough nice things that people like.

[gehtfuct]

Nah,you're just a newb.You'll geht there.
We all luv ya,its just politics put us to sleep. ;)

[TheLampIncident]

So then how do you add something that someone says that you like to their rep?

[Jason]

Current reputation power is the amount of reputation members give to another user I believe (though it seems to be working funky for admins right now, I've given more rep than anyone here lol).

I'm working on finding the exact mathematical formula now, you have me curious. ;)

The other green dot thing is unrelated, that's how much positive or negative reputation points others have given you by clicking on the +/- button in a person's posts.

[Jason]

One thing I did learn...

If someone has an altering power of 36.

Giving out positive rep, they give 36 points.

Giving out negative rep, they give out 18 points.

[Jason]

Reputation Power is influenced by things such as Reputation points, post count, register date too...

[Child of Bodom]

weird

[TheLampIncident]

I guess it's also subject to change negatively seeing as mine went back down to 0.

[Bullshyt]

That's what I thought rep power was, but wasn't too sure.

[Child of Bodom]

wow, bullshyt, you have 24. GG me, I only have 3

[TheLampIncident]

So where is this button that gives people power or unpower? I have no idea where it is.

[chubz]

its the check or x button over the rep

[MaxPower]

it seems than that I am not saying enough nice things that people like.

It does not have to mean that you say nice things about people (Though that normally doesn't hurt). People can rate your comments either "Approve" or "Disapprove" and then give a reason.
If they use it right, it is suppose to gauge the factor in which what you said, contributes to the conversation.
If you have someone that you want to add comments to their reputation, just look for the http://forums.wtf.com/rage/buttons/reputation.gif Icon at the top right of the post. A small window will open giving you the choice of Approve or disapprove. Then type your reason why.

[Jason]

I've made a few more adjustments that might make the process a little more fun, and changed a little math.. Some of you will have additional points at this time.

Default reputation points is 10 upon registration.
For every 15 posts, user gains 1 point of reputation-altering power.
For every 25 points of reputation, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power.
User must have 25 Posts minimum before his reputation hits count on others.
User must have 10 reputation before his reputation hits count on others.
Users can give 20 seperate reputation clicks per day.
5 different users must be given reputation before you can hit the same person again.

These values may NOT be final, we'll see how it goes.

[otepsoul]

ive got 80 rep power thats sweet

[chubz]

81 as i see it

wait so u changed it? or was that the original schtuff?

[TheLampIncident]

So if it's 10 on default, then why do I only have 5? Does the rule not apply to me?

[Jason]

Sorry, the 10 points by default are your reputation POINTS given to you, not your reputation POWER. ;)

[Jason]

I know it's all very confusing, but luckily I didn't write it. :D

[chubz]

still dont get it. .

[TheLampIncident]

Wow, people must think I suck or something. But I guess it's not possible to get into negative numbers.

[Halfpintrocker]

i am so confused... sorry just wanted to see if I had it.. hehe

[Halfpintrocker]

I ahve none is that good or bad??

[Child of Bodom]

[Uber Squirrel]

There might be two persons who where nice. But hearing saying nice things here ? Foreigners aren't really welcome here. And I haven't heard somebody dissagree. Disapproved or approved...that doesn't matter. Although I have now 8 rep thingy or something, instead of 7.

than i have a lot of disapproves because one of the moderators likes to piss me off, where ever I am...no matter what I say....

* this might be disapproved too, I'd better shut before she starts to piss me off here *

[TheLampIncident]

So why do I have two green boxes next to my name? When I go over it with the mouse, it says I have a spectacular aura about. I suppose it's good, but how did it happen?
