User Rep/Karma back again!

Below a users post count and over to the left is a old school silver scale looking thing. Click it. Dunno about yours, but mine just is a little mini pop up with an optional comment box. Have fun....

 

So, just out of curiosity, did everyone who had rep before get to keep their rep points? I've notices some with red jewels right off the bat, and some with different messages when you hover over the jewel, and like TCF there, he started with two stones.

I'm just a little confused.

 

yeah i got rep off people, i hadnt a clue what it was

i dont know how to give other people rep though

and i havent seen the karma thing

 

I understood what the rep thing was and stuff, just didn't understand why some people started off with different messages, most have "on a distinguished road" as I have, but some of something else, and more jewels...

I was curious to know now many points it takes to get more jewel, or status of rep to change, I didn't see anything about that.

 

49<is distinguished

50 or more seems to be almost famous

pos rep me some more and Ill let you know when it changes again

 

Yes, we used to have the karma points and they were disabled because of abuse. That's why I'm starting out with three green things under my name. I have 222 points last time I checked. I think it was members that no longer come here that gave me so many points.

 

for any who missed it but were wishing you could, you can shut it off in your user settings.

 

that just hides it...I can still rep you

 

and nobody will ever see you do it... lol

 

that wasnt funny enough for a point:hat:

 

well, I'll try to live with the shame...

 

I don't understand this points system. The Experience page says a post is worth 1 point, but my total number of points for everything is lower than my postcount.

 

posts in a thread of your own are only 0.1 point..maybe that has something to do with it

 

No, I don't have that many threads.

 

Ah, I get it, yea, I'm still under 50 I believe.


unfortunately I have to give more rep points before i can rep you again. Wich is unfortunate, since there are a lot of posts that are good that I can not rep.

Yay!

The point system confuses me too...

 

the pinnacle of the rep system is "a splendid one to behold" it is at 10,000 points

 

1,273 points sounds reasonable for me. Now, the only thing I don't understand is the Activity % number. What does it measure?

 

How often do the statistics get updated?
