    Rep Power

    Hey all, just wondering if there is a way to track rep power, ie. who is giving it out, who is stripping it away and why?

    You can check the last four or five reps you got on the settings button at the top left of the page - click there and then scroll all the way down.

      One thing I've just noticed, the rep thing doesn't seem to be updating when you get additional. Any ideas admin?

        I don't know exactly how the rep works, but I noticed that one click doesn't mean necessarily that you'll get one rep point.

          I am so low on rep power I do not care about it anymore... It just a reminder of how well liked you are. I could care less....

            Well, you got less posts than me and still got more rep.

            Granted, most of what I post is garbage, but still...

              it is a combination of how long you have been registered for, how many post you have, and how many + or - feedbacks you have. The + or - feedbacks are also dependent on the rep power of the person leaving you the feedback.

              I have never been happy with the system but it is what it is so we use it.

                Is it acceptable to dish out bad rep for flooding incorrect forums with the same post over and over? I think its a fair call.
                Also, can someone point me in the right direction as to how to do this, Ive been here for a while but still havent figured out how to do the rep points. I should probably have given a few positives for all the help Ive received too.

                  Its the little star icon in the bottom left corner of each post.

                  Hope the weather is good over there in SA Jonezy.

                    Cheers Wazza,
                    Probably could have found that if I had my eyes open, haha.
                    As for the weather, who knows what it wants to do, four seasons in one day, everyday at the moment.

                        What gives any idiot on this forum the right to just strip rep power because I actually helped someone repair a machine resulting in him not needing to buy that manual? Isn't that what this forum is for, helping guys out? Or is it a forum to sell product first, help later? And I actually bought manuals from this jerk in the past. Go ahead Paul, strip more rep power. I'm already at zero. But the other guy knows how to remove that fuser now so I've done my job.
