Reputation status

[madmax-im]

nezzer I have noticed a bar graph under each members avatar...Most people have none and a few have some bars highlighted....I am curious as to how reputation "points" are awarded?

[nezzer]

I did some research. The bar graph shows a users reputation. As your reputation increases, the bar graph lights up more boxes and the hover-over text changes. You get reputation by having other users like your posts. Each user has their own reputation power. My reputation power is 10, so when I like someones post they get 10 reputation points. For comparison, the bar graph maxes out at 2000 points. madmax-im , your reputation power is 20. So if you like a post, it has a greater impact on someones reputation than if I like it.

I spot checked a few users to see what their reputation power was set to. They were all different. I am guessing that it increases automatically based on length of membership and number of posts. Don't quote me on that though. A brand new account I created just for testing various permissions has 1 post and a reputation power of 0.

That is interesting and certainly different than what we had before...where post count was linked to a particular title like Master of XSology....I see that one administrator has turned their reputation "off"..I looked carefully at my control panel and i do not see a way to disable this feature...I have also discovered that if you hover over and click on the # of people who liked your post..you then get a pop up with all those listed so you can see who did the liking... Thankyou for clearing up the mystery..I'm not particularly concerned about this feature.. but we'll roll with it...

DuWayne - you need some reputation points before we can take them away for posts like that

My bars are blank, I hope my reputation is at least fair to partly cloudy... Pretty decent post count, but not like some guys.

I have noticed when you start posting more frequently, the red/orange bars start increasing.

Mine is at zero bars so my reputation isn't what it used to be.

I gave you a couple of LIKES. If others will do the same.... Those of us who have been here know you. Your reputation is good and secure.

Geezer, I don't need a status bar to know good pointers, tips, advice, and top quality electrical components.

Tony,
Your reputation supersedes you. I gave your post a like. I believe the whole reputation thing is overblown anyways.
