    Wait... so I read the FAQ and the Board Rules description of reputation, and I don't think I get the point. Like, what do you *do* with reputation? Other than give other people reputation points. Which then allows them to do... What? Is this just a status thing?

    The greater your Reputation, the more you can flagrantly violate the Board's rules before incurring the wrath of a moderator/administrator. Basically, Rep acts as a kind of "Amulet of Mod Warding". As proof, notice how high Tal's rep is, and then try to remember the last time he was given a warning.

    :p

    Stop misleading the until-just-recently-lurkers Splunge! :mad:

    There. Thoroughly refuted, since not only did I say your information was misleading, but you have a high reputation yet still incurred my wrath! :lol:

    Oh, and yes, reputation is just a popularity contest kind of thing...

    Bah! My Rep Power isn't very high - it's only 9. So I still stand by my allegation.

    Well, the 2 green squares I understand. But as for the "spectacular aura" - well, let's not go there again. :p

    (On a somewhat serious note, are the phrases ("spectualar aura", "famous soon enough", etc.) tied to reputation?)

    So what's the difference between Rep Power and the little Green Boxes...or rather...how do you get more than one? :hmm: :rolling:

    Rep power is a combination of length of time as an SP member, number of posts, and rep points received from others (scroll up for a more detailed explanation by Montresor.

    The green boxes relate only to rep points received from others - 1 box to start, and then 1 for every 100 points received.

    Oh...I get it now.

    So here's another question: When someone leaves rep, how many points does the recipiant get? Is it equal to the giver's rep power, is it scaled...or is it only 1 point? :rolling:

    [​IMG] It is equal to the rep power. Rep power is the number of reputation points you can give someone else in one go. A basic explanation of reputation is in the FAQ now.

    Edit: Splunge cut in on me.

    I've shied away from getting involved with giving rep because I don't know when to give it...

    :) I could have sworn I had posted the same thing, but I must have just thought it.

    Give rep if you want when you want; the system has some restrictions to prevent abuse, but that's about it.

    I like the whole rep thing. I always think it's nice to let people know that oyu appreciate what they've said.

    I always leave my name, as was said earlier, it's like giving a gift! I would leave my name on negative rep comments too. At the end of the day, if you disagree with somebody then you should let them know and if you don't have the guts to leave your name then you shouldn't bother people!

    Also, I've never been able to see who's posted rep to me either before or after I got an sps account
