Right now I think I have 2 good and 3 bad points. I wish I could see the rep of other people, is that possible?
The green and red gems under ones post count is how you are supposed to know how reputable a member is.
The more of those you have the moer it's supposed to indicate that you're a good reputable member who is helpful. If they're red you're a mean mean man. And if you have more it's supposed to indicate that you're Satan and should be avoided at all costs.
so who decides how many dots everyone gets? i mean...is it like some voting system or do the mods control it?
People can give you positive rep and negative rep for your posts. If you collect a lot of positive rep, you get more green turds. If you collect a lot of negative rep, your turd will turn red and maybe even several red turds. Ultimate retardation.
