What is "Rep Power"? + Congrats and thank yous

[Boo Radley]

okies... here's what i found out:

For every 100 points of reputation, users gain 1 point of "reputation-altering power".

For every 365 number of days, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power.

For every 100 number of posts, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power.

For every 100 points of reputation (from other users), users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power.

How many posts must a user have before his reputation hits count on others? 50

How much reputation must a user have before his reputation hits count on others? 10

How many reputation clicks can a user give over each 24 hour period? Administrators are exempt from this limit. 10

How many different users must you give reputation to before you can hit the same person again? Administrators are exempt from this limit. 10

so your 7 makes sense?

[Boo Radley]

btw. in the user profile can you see who gave you reputation and the comment they left?

[roseofblack25]

[ilovemykids]

No but I'll run with that. LOL

btw. in the user profile can you see who gave you reputation and the comment they left?

The only way I know how to get to it is if you click on the "User CP" up on the top left side. (User CP / FAQ / Members List/ etc...) After you click that it's right there. "Latest Reputation Received"


BTW... what is the point to them?

I always wondered what it was for also.. it's clearer now thanks

[ilovemykids]

I musta missed something.

I understand now thx to Boo how to get them... but what are they for? What is the purpose?

[Boo Radley]

usually the main purpose of rep power on a forum is to represent a person's attitude and helpfulness... people give others rep power as a way of saying thank you for helping in something

it also shows who the trouble makers are since you can give negative rep power to trouble makers

[Boo Radley]

i can try linking rep power to candy somehow so that rep power counts towards your candy but i'll have to look into the technical possibility of doing that
