Reputation (aka those little green squares)

[Jax]

Reputation was set up as a way to let someone know what you thought of their post. If you look underneath someone's avatar (userpic), you'll see one or more green dots; that represents their reputation level. The more green dots they have, the more people who've left them positive reputation points. If you look even farther down below their avatar, you'll see an icon with an x and a check mark in it; this is what you click to give someone reputation points for that post.

Remember, you can receive negative reputation as well as positive..

Oh, and to the person who gave me bad rep for the original post in this thread. I guess some folks just don't get it.

I think it is a a idea, as people are going to abuse it.

I'm already starting not to like this. People give other people bad rep just because they don't like them, so they're abusing the system. That's why I think we shouldn't have it here.

 

[Matt]

yep. A known troll at the gmd gave me bad rep saying "I think you're gay".

In all capital letters to emphasize it.

I gave you (Jax) -rep because I don't see the point with this. Want e-peen or what?

 

[Matt]

Some people don't know everything like you do.

I like the rep system, it clearly shows how quality of a person you are in real life. Obviously, us 1 squared people are worthless, while the ones with maxed out rep are superior beings. With that said, I want to be the biggest LOSER on the forum, dump negative rep on me please! I want to have all RED squares.

The point was to explain reputation to the people who didn't know what it was. There's no need to be a jerk about it, you could've passed the thread by completely if you already understood the system.

That said, it's a UM-wide feature, so ya'll should let Deron (MetalAges) know if you dislike it, I have no control over it.

There was a big thing in the GMD, and people who had high rep liked it, and people who didnt have any didnt. There was supposedly a rep circle in some forums off topic that people used to get their rep high.

How do I check what people altered my rep, or the messages they added while altering it?

 

[Jax]

Your rep 'votes' and who did them are listed in your user control panel.. http://ultimatemetal.com/forum/usercp.php
