View Full Version : Rep question

A few months ago, I responded to a thread in the Warrior category. My response was not 100% correct. One person responded with a neg rep with a comment that I should know what I'm talking about before posting. I take blame for the comment, but overnight, my rep went from like +3 to -460. Is this a bug, just the community piling on me legitimately, or the result of someone who found out how to massively neg rep without posting comments?

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

I believe people have different levels of "rep power". I haven't been able to discern what accounts for the power, whether it is post number and current reputation, or just reputation. However, if someone with a lot of power hits you, you're going down quick. Like Anticor-Rifling would just destroy you with one negative.

There are different levels. You gain "rep power" through your rep level, post count, and time registered on the forums (in order of their effect on your rep e-peen). Your negative rep comments left for people subtract half the number of points that your positive ones grant. If your rep is currently low enough to show grey or red boxes, you have no effect one way or the other on anyone else's rep no matter what you do.

Thanks to all who repaired my rep with infusions of goodwill! I will be careful to give thumbs up to those deserving it, and only slam those that truly merit chastisement.

I saw the rep thing as just something fun to play around with. Like a facebook like to show support.

WHERE DO YOU STAND AFTER THIS ONE?! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM ~ Anticor


And to answer your question:

Reputation Received (325191 point(s) total)


EDIT: Also since someone asked me, your total rep number is right above all your rep in the settings.

I think you just click on members, and organize the list by highest to lowest rep.

But then with Drew I was gentle and took my time because I wish he would post in the politics folder more often even though HE VOTED FOR ROMNEY LOLOLOL.
