Thanks, just checking...when the forum first started and we all feeling things out, some of us stepped on a few toes (unintentionally, of course).

what's the plan for negative reputaion, Dan? What is given can be taken away?

Well reputation in and of itself doesn't actually effect anything, it's just for fun as far as I'm concerned. As I don't really plan on making it effect anything.

Edit: Worst comes to worst and someone is abusing it, I can take away said individuals ability to give out rep, and fix whoever's rep they messed with, with my super secret admin powers.

I lost my inspiration for the medical analogy. But I'm still in an "inspired" mood!

Back to the topic at hand. Lets get some reputation level names as well. It should be a phrase that would fit well after "User is" so for example one of the current ones is (User is) on a distinguished road. I am looking for 3 negative reputation ones (-10, -50, and -100), one neutral reputation (0), and 11 positive (10, 50, 150, 250, 350, 450, 550, 650, 1000, 1500, and 2000). Again have fun with it.

Let the fun commence!

Do administrator reps point count for 10???? You just shot me up from 16 to 36!

Yes apparently it does.

[Dan Hocker]

Ok I found the setting. I switched down from 20 to 3. So you have to give to 3 other people before you can give to someone again. I've also changed some other settings around. The longer you've been a member, the more points your rep is worth. The more posts you have, the more points your rep is worth, the more rep you have, the more points your rep is worth. There's a couple other ones as well.

Here's the message I get when I try to give someone a second rep point:

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to peteOcha again.

Also, Dan, is there a way to see the rep points we've given? I know how to check the one's I've received.

Must be a user group setting, as I just gave to you twice. I'll check it out, I'll also look into how to see rep points we've given. Although I'm thinking that's something you probably won't be able to see.

That's what I'm hitting. I'll try it again.
