I have been looking at all of the reputation stuff lately and i really dont understand it. If someone gives you a good reputation thing saying they approve of your post, sometimes in the user cp it shows up as a grey one and does not add to your reputation. I was hoping maby MartinC or Xecuter could help us all out in understanding how it all works (i say martinc because u have a ton of rep points)
How does the reputation system work??

I found that a good way to earn rep is to use the search button

lol...that was a real dead and old one so i just restarted one for sh1ts and giggles....and anyways no one really seemed to figure out how it worked last time...and no a grey one does not meen that you alraedy got one from that post. (just for the record because thats what someone said about it in the old one.)
I'm a veteran of vbulletin boards so I pretty much know all the ins and outs.
Reputation system works like this:
You have positive rep or negative rep, depending on how someone rates your post.
Obviously the more positive rep you have the more green blobs will display on your rating, and the roll-over description will reflect your rating. Each time you recieve a negative rep it'll show in your control panel as a red blob, earn enough of these and your rep power bar will fill with red blobs instead of green.
The grey blobs mean the person that gave the reputation didn't meet a certain criteria eg: You must have 25 posts and 10 reputation points in order for your reputation to count on other people. Until you meet those requirements, your reputation will show up as grey blobs.

So you mean any Rep i give is boosting people up and if I help out a noob who has 2 posts and he bumps my rep up it doesn't even help me?
Gibbed!! Gibbed I tell you!! Would this be the right time to call shenanigans?
ok, i'm over it now.
Thanx for the explanation though!

Oh, and after viewing that other thread there's a couple other things I can clear up.
You can't view who gave you the reputation unless you're a moderator or admin of the boards.
You can only give reputation to the same user once you have given others reputation first, this I geuss is to stop people abusing the system. Moderators and admins are exempt from this rule, so they obviously have the most sway.
I'm not certain but I think admins get a permanant full rep bar.
The amount of points between each rep level can be set by the admins, but the default allocation can be viewed in the vbulletin docs.

Well, based on that info... I think we should go back to the rating system that Xecuter started when this site first came up.

Somebody's gloating...LOL Probably the higher the rep of the person givig rep... the bigger the rep you get. rep? rep! rep...
gloating? me? never!
it does make me laugh though, you spend hours on here helping beginners and hardly any of them give rep points out.

Or is it different?

I'm so glad they have the rep point system. My life would be meaningless without it. Sometimes i just sit and look at my point totals and think, "rookio...your one top class guy"
i bet...
it dont really mean m=nothing to me either, i was just wondering,
Actually im wondering if i can get a raise at work for having high rep pionts.....
mmmmmmmmmmm
