How's the Rep Point System work?

[BlibbityBlabbity]

As to whether to be scared of Shabi....

[eejit101]

i dont get if he meant -1, or "-" 1 as in number one by that.

my rep keeps going down whatever i do though

Basically, it works like this.

Fuck with Shabi = Get painted red

Have fun.

What I'm asking is...

How many "bullets" in your rep gun? Enough to kill or just bruise a person? lol
(and no, I don't want to find out...tyvm )




TP - I've calculated how many points you might be able to give out, am I close when I say 31?

I estimated this by calculating the 180days reg(3pts), and the 500 posts(23pts). Wasn't sure what you meant by the 100points of rep so I figured there's 100 pts in every green bar(5 pts)?

As for the 25 post min count, I'm guessing you're not able to give any points out if you haven't made at least 25 posts?

Do I finally understand the rep system and how it works? Or am I totally a lost case.

You're pretty much got it, yes. Here it is again, cut and paste form the other thread (and I'll make fancy bullets so eejit can follow along too):Those are for +Rep. -Rep is equal to half of the above total.

So, let's look at bunny (everyone likes looking at bunny) for an example:

Registered less than 180 days = 0
Has made > 500 and < 1000 posts = 2 (1 for 25 + 1 for 500)
Has < 100 points of Rep = 0

So, you give 2 points of Rep with each click. Now, let's look at your boyfriend:

pshabi has been registered for > 540 days = 3
He has > 3500 < 4000 posts = 7 (+1 = 8)
He had > 500 points of Rep = 5

That's 16 total, by my count.

For -Rep, you two give out -1 and -8 respectively.

And yes, I'm somewhere in the 31/-15 neighborhood, I think. Because my Rep is weighted SO MUCH, I try to give it out pretty sparingly. I usually wait until I feel like I owe someone for a few quality posts before Super-Repping them, as I like to call it. I also don't need to "spread around" any rep before I can Rep someone again. I think I had Zy and shabi over 2 bars within a couple of days in the beginning - not that they don't deserve it!

Hopefully the rest of you guys give it out pretty liberally. You can't give out too much Rep!

Excellent detailed post.

Three questions:

1. How 'do I know' how many points per green bar?

2. How much 'spreading around' needed in order to rep someone again?

3. Can -/+ rep be done to same person, without the need to 'spread around'? Or is it only 1 rep per person/per spreading?

ps: Sorry if I'm asking too many questions. Real interested in the Rep System, seems like a 'good thing'.

see bold

i can answer the first question real quick. 100 + rep points = green bar. so, each green bar is worth 1 point. he did answer this in the last post though.

edit- eejit answered this at the same time.

Now for some accurate answers, if anyone is interested:

1. Hovering pver the Green/Red bars will give you the RANGE, but note that 1 bar <> 100 Rep points. If you are at +1, you'll have one green bar. If you are at + 501, you'll have 6 Green bars. If you are at 749, you will STILL have 6 green bars (I think - no one is this high yet, so I'm not certain). This is because the size of the ranges increase. The range shabi is in now is 500-749, for example. Also note that no matter how many -Rep points you get, you will only ever have 1 bar (again, I think - no one is < -100).

2/3. These appear to be the same question, so I'll answer them again. The default for this was 10, but I changed it to 5 months ago. I then changed it AGAIN - to 4- because I was getting tired of seeing 10 posts per day with people copying and pasting the "You must spread some reputation around" error message. The reason this is in place is so someone can't continuously hammer you with -Rep, like collieo would have surely done to you bunny, if he was allowed to.

I'm going to modify the above rules with two other points we haven't discussed yet:
1. If you have -Rep, your Rep hits won't count on others.
2. You can give a maximum of 25 Rep hits every 24 hours.

Quick question for bunny: Why are you so obsessed with the Rep system all of a sudden?

[johnp158]

I guess I need to work on my post quality. I haven't gotten any rep in (tear falls) months!

[eejit101]

Yup - dont mess with the big bar guys. I slam shabs a bit to often, i wake up, all of a sudden im down from 150 to about 110 points
