I think certain people have more "point power" based on there own rep points or posts or sumpin.

When can I start giving out points again?

Yes.

On this forum and a few others I frequent, you can't see the person who leaves you rep. However on another forum () you can, I was just wondering if that was an option you had turned off TP.

Hmmm... not sure.

Is it better to be known or anonymous when leaving Rep, I wonder?

Well, I think that if you're leaving postive rep, being known isn't a bad thing. However, if leaving neg. rep, being known could lead to a huge PM (or worse, public) flame war or retribution unless the neg. rep has a comment that is constructive on why it was negative. Even then...

While I admit, it's nice to see who was kind enough to give me rep points, I think that the possible downside outweighs any benefits to seeing who gave you rep.

I agree with Robb except I think it should be mandatory to add a comment. This way we have an idea as to what the neg or positive rep was about or a hint as to who might have given it to us.

I like this idea but i get bad rep points when i ask a question i dont know. Like you guys were talking about Horse and i had no idea what it is so i asked what it was. What was i suppose to do make it into a HUGE paragraph??

Ok...who didn't like my opinion on this? Silly to give me a neg rep; just for giving you all my opinion. Wish you would've at least left a comment as to what you didn't like about it!

Edit: Was finally inching my way up to green light and you took it away from me.:mad:

My guess would be that some people that are leaving negative rep do NOT understand that the rep is attached to a particular post and they were actually giving you neg. for a different post (or they just don't like you :)). There's no way you should receive negative rep for simply agreeing with someone.

I gave one person rep on a post that it wasn't really intended for (although it was positive so it's not too big of a deal there).

I do agree, comments would be nice. I try to leave a comment for each one that I give so the person receiving it knows why I give it. I mean, if I'm taking the few seconds to give rep, what's a few more seconds to comment on it. If a person doesn't leave a comment because they are too busy or don't have time, maybe they shouldn't worry about the reputation anyway.

That said, I don't think forced comments would be a good idea however. As TP (I think it was him) mentioned - if you force them then all you'll get is "adj;askdjf" or whatever. The only option is to appeal to the moral decency of people (hehe - ME talking about morality...go figure) to leave comments.

I doubt that you were given negatie rep for asking a question. I suspect it was because you don't honor bets that you make, and people wanted to make sure your Rep icon would be red to warn other posters...

Just a guess.

lol good one tp. by the way when was the last time farve was on, i think hes shying away. How can i check? or do u have too

lol i like how i made a post saying good things about rook and got a negative rep for that, someone must really dislike her

When adding reputation, I've just been "signing" my name in the comment section. That way, people know it's me giving them their propers!!!!!

How many "points" does it take to reach the next level? I have 36 points but I am still at one bar! How about for negative?

I think the descriptions are really stupid and have been meaning to change them. I think I'll change them to the number range, so people can have an idea of where they are at.

Done.

this rep thing is great man. Interesting to see how thinck some of my posts are and how good. Makes you think more about what you type in a post, and not to type in one words replys (not counting your post above this one:D )

good way of making it more fun. Rook seems to disagree though i reckon....

So much so that she left...

*shrug*

i miss her anyways. she was fun. Good to have a woman around, tidy up after us e.t.c

Might have to refer a couple now

I guess I don't count as a woman? ;)

Of course, I don't clean up after Rob so don't expect me to clean up after anyone here.

I much prefer this to the other way it was. It also lets everyone know how close they are to getting another green bar.

ok, my mistake, apart from Nikita then....

**falls over flat on his face in stupidity**

hmm..wtf ihad like 20somthing rep points earlier oday.. now i got 6 WTF!??

wow.. i got negative rep for saying gl to jdmcnugent because i didnt spell it out to say good luck... being nice sometimes blows.

I didnt give it, so im not sure, but i think its because of the lack of quality of your posts/one liners
