Okay dumb question

True confessions...I just figured out where you check your rep. Oh my goodness, there are some really nice folks out there! Thanks all you sowallers...reading those comments made my day and made me realize that I have not added comments when giving rep. I shall start doing that today! See, you can teach an old cat some new tricks.

P.S. I also believe that part of the reason I have so many green squares is because, hmmm, I have quite a few posts. ;-)

I do love this part- I love giving AND receiving- just like Christmas!

You get a point every time someone approves of your post, lose a point every time someone disproves of your post, and lose 10 points if you misbehave and get a warning.

Beyond that, I have no clue!

Awesome thank you!

Tsgtsgirl. That sure is a cute kiddo in your 'tar. What a beautiful smile too! I've been away for a while sorry I missed your first post! I always loved it when someone says, no question is a dumb question, so, I think I'll say it now. Guess I just did. Nice to see a new fresh face on the board...very nice.

I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation
You're living in the past it's a new generation
A girl can do what she wants to do and that's
What I'm gonna do
An' I don't give a damn ' bout my bad reputation

Oh no not me

An' I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation
Never said I wanted to improve my station
An' I'm only doin' good
When I'm havin' fun
An' I don't have to please no one
An' I don't give a damn
'Bout my bad reputation

Oh no, not me
Oh no, not me
I don't give a damn
'Bout my reputation
I've never been afraid of any deviation
An' I don't really care
If ya think I'm strange
I ain't gonna change An' I'm never gonna care 'Bout my bad reputation

Oh no, not me
Oh no, not me

Pedal boys!

An' I don't give a damn
'Bout my reputation
The world's in trouble
There's no communication
An' everyone can say
What they want to say
It never gets better anyway
So why should I care
'Bout a bad reputation anyway
Oh no, not me
Oh no, not me

I don't give a damn 'bout my bad reputation
You're living in the past
It's a new generation
An' I only feel good
When I got no pain
An' that's how I'm gonna stay
An' I don't give a damn
'Bout my bad reputation

Oh no, not me
Oh no, not
Not me, not me

Nice WCW, I am going to be singing this for the rest of the day now.

How come people can tell that I've given them points, but I can't see who gave me mine? Just curious!

Go to your "user cp". The first thing on the screen should be a list of all your rep points and who gave them to you, along w/ any comments they added.

Ha, me too. I'll do my best to spare everyone my awesome air guitar though...

Hmmmm.....tried that, nothing comes up. Or does everyone automatically get 10 "starter" points, because that's how much I have? Not that big of a deal, but I don't want to seem rude if I don't say "thank you" when given a point.

mine started that way also, i am still figuring this thing out as I go.

I gave you some rep as a test!

Uh-oh, I haven't been sending thank yous for rep points!

As weird as this sounds I actually have a vision of some random person flying off the bed jamming on an air guitar... TDF

Go to your User CP and where the Reputation Points are listed, at the right end click on the little arrows and it will open and you can see who has give you Rep points.

Thanks, everybody!

Thanks everyone from me too. I haven't had time to figure this all out...

It takes awhile, it took me a years from being on another forum using the similar format.

I thought I had the rep points figured out, but guess I was wrong. Apparently there are a lot more variables involved!

Once again technological knowhow and Scooterbug part company!

thanks for the tip. had no idea how to look at this.

This will help some.

User Reputation
This section contains many settings that dictate how users of your forum are able to affect each other's reputation score.

• Enable User Reputation system
  This is the global switch for the reputation system. If you disable this, users will not be able to rate each other nor will their scores be visible.
• Default Reputation
  This is the reputation score that new users will start out with.
• Number of Reputation Levels to Display
  When a user enters their User CP, they will see a list of their most recent reputation ratings. This affects how many of the latest ratings to display.
• Administrator's Reputation Power
  If you wish to have administrator's wield a certain reputation power independent of their calculated score, enter it here. Otherwise, set this to 0 and they will use the same calculations as everyone else.
• Register Date Factor
  The number of reputation points that a user is able to give or take is dependant on several factors, with the length they have been registered as one of them. A user's power is first initialized at 1 and then this factor and the factors that follow are used to increase it. For example if you set this to 365, every 365 days that the user has been a member of your forum, they would gain one point. So if they have been a member for five years, they would gain 5 points of power for a total of 6.
• Post Count Factor
  The amount of posts that a user has can also affect their reputation power. Set this to number of posts that you want to award one point for. For example, set this to 50 and for a user with 500 posts, they would gain 10 points of power.
• Reputation Point Factor
  The users current reputation score can also affect their reputation power. Set this to 100 and a user with a reputation of 1000 would gain 10 points of reputation power. If you set any of the power factors to 0, that will effectively remove that factor from having an effect on the user's reputation power.
• Minimum Post Count
  If the reputation system is enabled, anyone will be able to rate a post but only users with a post count above the level you set here will be able to actually give points or take points from another user.
• Minimum Reputation Count
  As with the post count above, a user must have a reputation above this level to be able to give or take points from another user's score.
• Daily Reputation Clicks Limit
  This sets how many unique members that a forum user will be able to rate in any 24 hour period. Administrators can rate as many people as they wish.
• Reputation User Spread
  This setting dictates how many unique members that a user must rate before they are able to rate the same member twice. The goal of this setting is to stop a member from either artificially bumping or dropping a user by repeatedly rating their posts.

The total number of points is your score.
