The title says it all. How do you acquire these rep points? And how do you give them? Or is it all done by the moderators?

 

it is done by the MEMBERS not the Admins. Click on the set of scales you see at the top right corner of each post, you can then rate it good or bad as you see fit.

Personally, I think it is a PIA because it gets abused by some of the members.

 

Thanks Larry I have acquired a few good rep points and wasnt sure how they got there.

 

One more question how do I see if I have bad ones??

 

Go to your user CP in there you can see the latest ones left for you.

 

Wait , you mean i'm not supposed to leave you negative rep points every time i see your posts? J/K

 

nobodys ever left me one good or bad.

 

Now you do!!

 

I've actually turned this system off as of this weekend. There is too much misunderstanding around it, and it gets abused constantly. On top of that, we got a lot of complaints from people who thought the moderators were assessing negative points against our users when we really weren't.

 

OH NO!

Horror of Horrors

How will the rest of us ever catch up to Lary & Bill ???

 

I just checked my CP and noticed that the 13 or 18 points I was charged are gone.

I was really surprised when I got it because as far as I was concerned the comment I made on the post was not bad at all. It was on Iker's photoshop thread and the guy with the concrete in his bed (i forget his name) made a comment that Ikers photoshop talent was garbage. I responded, give me names of people who you think are good, and I was charged 13 or 18 points for that.

Thanks Jack or Larry for taking it off. I'd hate to re-register !!!!

Hoss was his name.

 

Re-registering would have gotten you banned as the forum rules clearly state no multiple user names and YES we can tell when a person does that.

Again those points had NOTHING to do with the Admins, everybody started out with 10 points and it would go up or down depending on how other members rated your posts.

Of Course thanks to Jack, I no longer have to explain this stuff 25 times a week

 

Dang it!!! I was so close to 2 squares...

Now I'm gonna cry...

That's ok, at least I'm still the DTR Senior Drill Instructor.

 

Yeah, but 2 green squares just isn't what it used to be - when I got there, I found myself hungering for more....

 

That's cause.... you're special....
