Okay this is how the reputation system ranks board members.


================================================== =
================================================== =

First, there are positive reputation points & ranks:
================================================== =

1 dark green square = " is on a distinguished road " , 10 - 49 rep. points

2 dark green squares = " will become famous soon enough ", 50 - 149 rep. points

3 dark green squares = " has a spectacular aura about " , 150 - 249 rep. points

4 dark green squares = " is a jewel in the rough " , 250 - 349 rep. points

5 dark green squares = " is just really nice " , 350 - 449 rep. points

5 dark green squares, 1 light green square = " is a glorious beacon of light " , 450 - 549 rep. points

5 dark green squares, 2 light green squares = " is a name known to all ", 550 - 649 rep. points

5 dark green squares, 3 light green squares = " is a spendid one to behold " , 650 - 999 rep. points

5 dark green squares, 4 light green squares = " has much to be proud of " , 1000 - 1499 rep. points

5 dark green squares, 5 light green squares = " has a brilliant future ", 1500 - 1999 rep. points

5 dark green squares, 6 light green squares = " has a reputation beyond repute " , 2000+ rep. points

================================================== =
================================================== =

Then there's the neutral zone:
================================================== =

1 blue-grey square = " is an unknown quantity at this points " , 0 - 9 rep points

================================================== =
================================================== =

Then comes the red (and eventually orange) boxes for negative reputation points:
================================================== =

1 red square = " lurk-e-loo " , -9 to -1

2 red squares = " has a little shameless behavior " , -49 to -10

3 red squares = " can only hope to improve " , -99 to -50

4 red squares = " is infamous around these parts" , -499 to -100

5 red squares & worse = " bad beyond belief " , -500 or lower (automatically banned by vB software)

================================================== =
================================================== =

Hope that helps everyone!

Thank you so much...

Do we get a jacket for hitting "beyond repute"?

Can we use 'em like "Marlboro Points"?

[Evil Minion]

You must apply in person for it

wow, i'm looking at that chart and i'm more confused than ever...

[Malibu Minion]

wow, i'm looking at that chart and i'm more confused than ever...

Why are you confused?

well, i understand the row of boxes and their colors, as in you, the great ortizmo2000 and the illustrious Evil Minion are all beyond repute, and lowly me will soon become famous enough.... but I'm trying to figure out what each one equals when I look at my User CP and the "Latest Reputation Received"... I have 4 green boxes, 2 blue-gray, and 1 red for a total of 141 points.... that's the math problem i'm trying to figure out ... does that make sense?

[dramaqueen]

the math is part of the program I believe- people with lots of reputation points are worth more than those with less. I think how much each is worth is calculated based on a percentage of how many total points the person has.

[Monorail Man]

Oh, read the FAQ. You'll find out that the colored boxes on the UserCP just inidcate if it was positive, neutral, or negative. You'll also find out that the amount of points that are given/taken on each click are of a combination of a few factors.

[Momzilla59]

The more you post and the higher your personal reputation, the more your reputation votes mean when you give them, and the more often the system will allow you to vote on reputation.

Hope this helps. I went and searched all the forums for "reputation" and I was still confused for quite some time.

[NeverNeverland]

Is thre any way to see who you've given points to? I tried to rep someone and got a message that I'd already repped him/her. (Which I'd forgotten I did!)

[desertdweller]

you are worrying too much about all those points...just enjoy the board

[Dustysage]

EXACTLY! Rep isn't a contest. It is a method for allowing the community to help self moderate.

[Momzilla59]

You gotta admit though, when you first start posting and see all those bright green squares lit up, and you've only got one or two.....
It's darn intimidating!
