btw, you can disregard the rep stats of a lot (maybe most) of the posters on here, as they frequent the "rep tramp" thread, giving out rep to any who ask, and recieving it in turn, making rep completely meaningless. *puts nose in the air* I, however, am not one of those people.
What!?!?! It's true, all my rep is EARNED outside of the rep tramp thread. I have never once posted in there, you bunch of nasty rep tramps.
ok, question about rep power: does it look at your total post count, or does it simply go up with each post made AFTER the reputation system was put in place? I'm guessing the latter, because my rep power pales in comparison to a few recently-registered spambots.
Not sure Yis but mine is always low but then, I don't post in the off-topic forums much and I would bet that is where a lot of it is handed out.
The green dots had nothing to do with the Rep Power. You earn Rep Power with being an active poster, while the dots are reputations you had received from other members.
I thought it was the opposite. Rep Power from getting reputations from other members. Green Dots from posting.
Here's another question: What do the "Referrals" mean? Y'know kinda like if you click someones name, you see that on their Forum info, under the join date and such? Mine says 2 and it said 1 a couple days ago
yeah, like olly said. green dots are from what people give to you. your rep power is how you affect others. I was just wondering whether it's calculated based on total posts. I don't think it is. on another forum I occasionally post on, the rep power isn't shown, but it's a combo of total posts and join date. at least, that's what they said. if someone registers for the forum, there's a box to enter a username if someone else referred you to the site. if someone registers and enters your username, you get a referral.
no, that's definitely not the setup here. that's how it is on another forum. here, from the rep powers I see, I think you get one point of rep power for every certain amount of posts you make. but it's not looking at total post count. it's posts you make after the rep system was installed.
