Rota and WN1 Hit have provided some great additional information about Reputation... I've edited the original post to include that information there. Thank you both for helping make this the best source for information on Reputation!

[Wildor]

I have a mind to stick this up here as it is more in tune with this section of the forum. And we can all have one thread to refer to when the subject comes up.


Thread stuck.

Please keep the spamming out of here.

Thank you.

Thank You Wildor! It's been a group effort getting all the information together but I think between Rota, Hit and myself that hopefully we've answered all possible questions on this topic!

I really was debating on where to post this... It was a toss up between here, Forum Guides, or my own server's thread.

I'm sure i'm not the only one that checks to see who has given them "reputation" every now and then... and I am always thankful and honored when someone appreciates what I posted enough to 'Rep' me...

But... I'm not sure if everyone realizes that your name does not automatically appear when you give Rep. (which is kind of disappointing to me)

So here is a quick "how to" on giving rep. for those who aren't as familiar with doing so.

1. click on rep Icon
2. leave comment (and name preferably) or just name even
3. player will then be able to see which post you rep'ed, the date and time, and the comment you left.

Here's a post I made earlier in this thread that will answer that...

Here is how your rep bar changes...
)If you have more negative rep than positive rep from warnings/infractions received by moderators, then your rep bar is red.
)If you have no rep or a perfect balance of positive and negative(for a total of zero points), then your rep bar is grey.
)If you have a positive total of rep points, then your bar is green.
)If you have 100+ points, you get a second bar.
)If you have 200+ points, get a third rep bar.
)Etc... You get one more bar every 100 points. So, a rep total of 500+ would show 6 rep bars


You get rep when other people see a post of yours they like, and they click on the scales in the upper right of the post to add to your rep. You can leave a little note when you click the scales if you want. I appreciate those notes, because I like to know who has repped me.


Now you ask, "How many points of rep do I get?" It depends on the person who repped you. Here is the scale that determines how many points you give to people when you rep them.

Your 50th post gives you the first point of rep you can give.
Every 1000 posts = 1 point of rep you give
Every 100 points of rep = 1 point of rep you give
Every year you are on the forums(anniversary date) = 1 point of rep you give

At the time of this post, I give 9 rep points.
1 for being past 50th post
5 for 5,000+ posts
3 for 300+ rep
0 for being a forum member for less than 1 year

All grey rep you get from players are 0 points. You can have hundreds o grey rep and they will still total zero.
Rep points are not retroactive. If I had 30 posts when I repped you many months ago to give you zero points, that rep bump is not worth 7 points now, it's worth zero.
