The reputation thingy .. I'm a bit confused.

[Panzertard]

Not sure how the reputation is supposed to work.

In the list on my persona I have 10 items, 6 are grey and 4 is green.

Above the list - in the header, to the right it says "41 points".

In my posts it shows 1 point.

 

I'm not able to relate any of the numbers to eachother - 1 on me, vs 10 in the list (or 4 greens only) - and 41 in total.

 

Could someone explain please? Pretty please ... with cherry on top? :wub:

Grey items mean someone agreed with your post but he doesn't have any points which would share them with you. Green means someone had at least 1 point of reputation (this under avatar) and gave you his own 1 point (shared with you).

Red means someone didn't agree with your post but when u don't agree with someone's post you can give only half of reputation as bad rep.

 

Points under avatar means overall reputation in points - but here is system like this: Each 100 points received mean 1 point under avatar. After 100 and 1000 posts you receive 1 point gratis.

 

I have 67 points so it means I give you my 67 points to your reputation sum, and when u get 100, your points under avatar will grow +1.

Ah - thats a simple explanation to a complicated system :D

Thank you very much - and I have only 1 point to send your way, but still. Thanks :)

 

EDIT: Oh, indeed - I have 2 reps and 108 total now - thank you *very* much :)

On the 100 and 1000 posts increase that is when you move from "Junior Member" to "Member" and then from "Member" to "Senior Member". I think there's further time-related uppings, like when you've been around the forum for X amount of months or years. I am unsure of that though.

 

Also, I think negative rep from people without rep power will also show grey.

I have six green and two red, but I haven't got any grey...:music_whistling:

After IIRC year presence on forum you get 1 point. Eer maybe after 2 years dunno :P

 

About colors, Negative rep is red, grey is neutral (due of no points to share).

 

 

Glad it helped.

Trying to avoid those situations with negative reps.

One shouldnt be at a keyboard if you're able to write such posts ... it's better to go elsewhere. Forums shouldnt get people worked up ;)

 

Junior->Member->Senior seems quite straighforward tough. :)

 

EDIT: Just noticed gigz reply - hehe, red. Bad .. badder than M. Jackson? :)

[EtherealN]

Ah, yeah, that is the proper way to express it Boberro, cheers. Someone that has no rep power cannot give rep, so whichever "positive" or "negative" option they select it will get logged as neutral.

 

I think.

 

It did confuse the hell out of me for quite a while, that system, until the first time I was given rep by someone with massive rep power and it bumped me over one of the 100x multipliers on total rep received and I practically saw the change in rep power happen between a refresh.

[Panzertard]

Related to this - you guys seem to have a "powerbar" of apples there. Bright green. What does that indicate?

[gigz-on]

It means that this member is really cool!;)

[EtherealN]

I believe they basically count a higher multiple. Somethinh like the dark green being which hundred points you're on: so you had one when you were between 0 and 99, got your second when you raised above 100.

 

I need to check how many points I have to verify that theory though, and the interfact is being troublesome at this time. >.<

 

EDIT: Yeah, up until I got my first bright yellow it did seem that the greens followed 100x multiples, so when I was at something like 450 points I had 5 dark green dots (if memory serves). Once you get above 500ish it starts to do something different but I am not sure what it is exactly - I can't get it to fit as "simply" a new multiple together with my points.

 

I bet Boberro has been typing an explanation while I was editing this, though... :P

EDIT2: No he didn't... O.o

 

It means that this member is really cool!;)

 

Not in my case. I'm not cool, I'm hot. ;)

gigz & Etheral lol .. thank you again .. keep the humor coming :D

[Boberro]

He went to kitchen :P

 

I don't know about these bright green boxes, I have them from about 4 or 5 rep points IIRC. Then they grew to few boxes and I think I won't get any new green boxes, look at Laivynias, he has about 110 rep and have same amount of boxes like people with 10-15 rep. I never understood this tricky system in vBulletin :D

Okai - here's an unrelated one for you - since you've dug up all the answers for everything else (must keep you busy):

At the main forumpage - showing both russian, german, english forums etc - in the online-userlist at the bottom - there are some users with a red "+" signs after their nicks.

Warned users?

[gigz-on]

Banned users...

Another thought occured for me. :detective:

The consequence of being "bad" against a new member is insignificant - helping them too. But being nice to a senior member have a great impact.

 

Well, in a true sense others will notice if you behave poorly of course, and act on it. ;)

 

Note to self: Stop thinking ... go flying.

 

EDIT: :thumbup: again gigz
