How to Add Reputation

Re: How to Add Reputation

That was a "Bond" move

obviously everyone who reads this will add to your reputation.

That was not what I had in mind!

In fact, my article was prompted by the fact that some of our most helpful and knowledgeable members have rep power well below what it should be. I certainly did not intend the inflation of my own numbers.

Pity Reps! I feel really LOW now... OK I'm over it.

OK, now figure this out. My Rep points in My CP is at 75 now. The REP system is just too weird for me.



No more Pity Rep for me, you guys. I like to "earn" my points or Reps. I would just like to know or understand the system VBulletin uses to do the "Calc's" on it, etc. http://www.vbulletin.com/ doesn't explain much about it.


I think all of us would fine if they pulled out the REP system. With a great forum like this, it's people that make the difference, not their Reps.(brown-nosing isn't my forte... but I'm getting better at it).

i know, that was my bad attempt at making a joke

made me start to add rep points to others more often after reading it.

Al, I understood what you are getting at. Another Forum member pointed the rep point system out to me, and I reward people that give ideas that I think are really unique that I never thought of, or put up a post of their work.

Re: How to Add Reputation

It looks to me like you get automatic reps every time you cross another hundred posts and some for each additional year you've been a member. So actually a new person can jump to a very high number of reps very quickly by posting multiple times to every thread.

Most of my posts come from welcoming new users to MOL. Which I do because of the way I was welcomed to MOL. The warm welcome made me want to stick around and become an active member.

Al's posts are fewer than mine, but have much more meat to them, are well thought out and many times very entertaining. I added to Al's rep a long time ago because of that.

That being said, I think a newbee seeing a users rep count and equating that with years of detailing experience wouldn't alway be an accurate measure.

No kidding!!! One would think from looking at my newly bestowed rep power that I knew something about detailing--and we all know the truth about that!

And why does Mike Pennington Have no REP Power?


So confusing....
