The technical difficulties with the Reputation and points systems are finally over.
When you see a good postor a post that you liked, you may wish to incraese that person's reputation. Reputations increase by 1 point.
If you saw a post that you did not liked, and you wish to decresase a person's reputation, it decerases by 1.
To increase or decerase a reputation click on the "+" or "-" sign on the right side of any post other than yours.
You should see a red or green bar once you vote a reputation.
As more people vote a reputation for the post you will notice that the box will change and show an average of all the "+"s and "-"s (Put your cursor over the bar to see how many people voted, and what percentage of the votes were "+"s
You should see the reputation number under "Number of Posts"
If you choose negative it will look like this:
And the persons reputation will go back by 1.
Note: Your reputation may be negative, if you get a negative while at 0.
The "Thanks" button is part of the reputation system. You may use that button only once in any topic. Its purpose is, if you find a great post, that helped you a lot or so, you may use it on a person's post. You may find it near the "Multi-quote" button. When you click the Thanks button for a person, the person gets 3 "+"s.
NOTE: I have made the thanks button worth +6 when done on the debate forum.
Points are used to get prizes and other things, such as name changes, new ranks etc. I will write the rewards list soon.
You get a point a day, ever since you joined the forum. You get a point for each friend you have. You also get a point for every reply you make. You get 3 points for each subject you make.
You should see the points above reputation.
NOTE: I disabled the reputation system and point system in the Made-Up forum and in the team forums.
