Reputation.

Ok, I understand that we can vote for people if they have been helpful etc and that increases reputation.

What I don't get is nobody has voted for me, yet my reputation is slowly going up. Can someone please explain how the reputation thing actually works?

 

The more you post the more reputation you get.

You just get a extra boost when somebody votes for you

So thanks for voting earlier

 

Right, now I get it. Many thanks.

And no worries. It seems sensible to me to 'reward' people who give very quick responses and are very helpful.

 

Oh, i just got this too

 

Dont you lose some of your rep when you increase others?

You kinda give some to them i think

 

around how many posts do you have to have to get your first rep point?

 

Not many, maybe around 5 or so.

No, you do not lose any. The way it is laid out you may think you do, but you dont.

 

the rep system is going to be gone in the new forum anyways just to let you know. it should be out sometime around the 16th

 

O so I guess all this rep everyone is wanting doesnt really mean anything

That is funny XD

 

That's a shame, I just got voted for! Haha. Oh well. It is kinda funny. :lol:

 

I have never gotten voted for but I do like the rep system so far.

Its a shame but it funny for everyone who likes it so much
