Question about Reps

[HamzahA]

I was wondering, depending on what i read on the sticky:

For each 200 reputation points a user possesses, he or she adds one point to the reputation totals of others.

I think i didnt understand this correctly, but should i have 200 reps to what?
once again i dont think i understanded it correctly!

who are the others? how do they get the rep? and should i have 200 rep points to give 1 rep? this needs damned explanation!

ps i know im acting like a little stupid here, but seriously i didnt understand it.

off-topic: "who are the others?" this reminds me of the tv show "Lost" )

If you have below 200 rep, you give 1 point. If you have 200-399, you give 2 points. If you have 400-599, you give 3. Etc.

 

[HamzahA]

to who?
you mean if i have below than 200 reps i cant give but 1 rep?
dude explain )

once again im sure im acting stupid.

It is your reputation power. If you have 200 reputation, when you give someone rep, they get 2 points, 400 = 3 points.

 

[~Void~]

Exactly, that's what I meant

 

[HamzahA]

one more little question:
is there a limit to reputation points that i can give?

 

[Archian]

Unlimited Powar!!!

 

[~Void~]

Not really, but there's not much chance your rep will go above 1000 (5 rep power) for a LOOOOONG time. I've been here for a year or so and still I only have 220.

 

[Ghan_04]

As a side note, every 2500 posts also increases your reputation power by one.

 

[Just_Spectating]

^ is that true?

 

[HamzahA]

oh but i think i discovered there is limite for the reps that i can give.
i cant give more than i have?

 

[FF7 project-G]

no you can only give out around 10 a day i think maximum. Is that what you mean?

 

[HamzahA]

i guess so.
because i remember i gave Archian a +rep, it didnt appear in his latest rep recieved list.

that was yasterday, still it didnt appear.

 

[FF7 project-G]

try doing that to someone else and see if it happens or not. Or it couldve been that your rep was pushed down by other peoples rep.

 

[HamzahA]

why/how was it pushed down?

 

[FF7 project-G]

well your test worked, but if someone gets rep and then another person gives that guy rep again the whole thing moves down by 1 because of the new rep, so if you gave him one then he gets like 3more yours wont be on top but 3rd, and so forth

 

[HamzahA]

Could you re-explain that?

 

[FF7 project-G]

ok when you go to someones profile to check out how much rep they have (latest rep) you can see the 10most recent. If someone adds a rep to him/her, then the 10th one gets removed from viewing. So if you give someone rep it will be at top, but if 10other people rep him/her then you wont see your rep anymore.

 

[HamzahA]

the problem which accured was that the rep looked like a square, not that green octagon (or whatever it is), and i found it doesnt increase the number of Reps you have

thats what i was wondering about, and still dont know.

 

[FF7 project-G]

you ahve to have 10rep to actualy give a +point of rep. If you have less then 10 its neutral. This is to prevent multi acc repping, saying "i rep you you rep me" and such stuff

The best rep for ever. :d

 

[FF7 project-G]

what?

 

[Ghan_04]

> ^ is that true?

Indeed.

1. Rep is a very simple concept.
2. People have questions when they don't know the rules.
3. Rep does not matter.
4. You have to actually have some to contribute.
5. To get some, you probably have to help someone.
6. Don't expect to get to 1000 anytime soon.

 

[Super-Sheep]

omg its true, you can check it from ma profile. D:

EDIT
Its deleted.

EDIT
I can see it only when I click User CP.

 

[Just_Spectating]

you know Ghan_04, i think rep does matter. it might boost ones self esteem. XD

one more little question:

Yeah, there it the reputation points on each player on about how many reps u can give. For example u have 30 rep points (not rep given by other people)
and u can give 3 reps. rep points are gained by helping hive and etc and as time passes u gains rep points.


I hope this chart would help.


Reputation: Me = 2
Reputation Points: Amount of Reputation Points a member have.

If still unclear u can ask for more help

 

[Squiggy]

Let me correct you:
The rep you can give is by default (as soon as you have 10 rep yourself) 1 (=n)
Every 200 rep you are posessing, you give n+1.
Every 2500 posts, it's again n+1.
Means if you i.e. have 2501 posts and you have 245 rep, you give +3.

 

[kryptosuper]

nop it's not a correction it's a add-on info for my thread but thanks anyway.

 

[HappyTauren]

kryptosuper, if rep ever worked according to your plan, I'd give 91 rep once I rep someone. A bit too much, no?

 

[Callahan]

And squiggy is right
And kryposuper is wrong

 

[Pyritie]

And that was a necropost.

That's not what i meant u all have over probably infinite rep points because u registered long time ago and it's rep point not power. if u +rep someone at the beginning registered it will say u have not enough rep points.

And that's not what Pyritie meant when he said that was a necropost.

Now stop posting or you'll be getting your fair share of negative reputation.

...and in galaxy far far away, it is becouse of number of their post than on the date of registration, look at my acc
