Rep Points..does anybody really care about them?

[Fitftw]

so the new question is, how bad does negative rep effect you. Could it be that a negative you give is the equivalent of taking 5 points away?

Whatever visible rep power they have is what you receive or get taken on your invisible reps. In other words with me i have 1 visible rep. If i was to rep+ you then you would gain 1 invisible rep. If i was to -rep you then you would lose 1 invisible rep. What your visible rep number is is how many you can give or take from someone else. I hope that makes sense.

oh, that makes total sense then. However people with 0 rep can still rep you then but you dont get anything added??

Its also weird that your not subscribed to any threads. It has something to do with settings. Im pretty sure about that.

How the heck am I getting neutral rep? The only choices I see are "I approve" (positive) and "I do not approve" (negative). Where's "I really don't care" (sic) (neutral)?

That's been bothering me for so long.

Red dot = negative rep

Green dot = positive rep

Grey dot = neutral rep (adds/subtracts nothing)

Look at TOOL's pic above.

Yes, my pic shows all types of rep, from neutral to negative.

Neutral is not a choice. It happens when a newbie gives a positive rep. He has no rep to hand out, so when he sends out a positive rep, it's grey, until such time that he is no longer a newb but has rep power.

For sh*ts and giggles, make a metaphor using WoW. I'll +rep you (unless your metaphors suck).

Correct or atleast that is what i have taken from it. There was talk before that possibly ten noob reps would make 1 invisible but there is nothing to back that up. So yea you dont really gain anything for a noob rep that we know of or have figured out thus far.

You know what? the weirdest thing is that it shows up now!!!!

i don't know how or why, but it showed up and shows a couple people repping me today, but no other history........

WEIRD!!!

Did you exit out of Fitfreak and or restart your computer? It may have been a glitch or something. No problem. Check it again just to be on the safe side.

Nope, didn't do either. I left my comp up with FF running...went out and came home and checked again and lo and behold it's there!!

Oh well, as long as it works!

Tyler

I dont think 40 sounds bad.
A good compromise that seems reasonable from what little I know.
I am all for the highest we can make it w/o making people cringe.
I figure it will keep out the silly Riff Raff rep warriors

...now I will go paddle out on my Riff Raff

I threw out 30 but if others believe that is to low then we can all make it higher. I was hoping that a bunch of people would jump in on this but i dont think its gonna happen. Let me know what input you have and we can go from there. Thanks bro.

Thanks for your consideration It is much appreciated.
Now I feel uber special and will say something invariably anticlimactic...
like 40 sounds good to me.

Are there any other perameters that we might want to look over?

I am good with changing the rep titles...

Unknown quantity...
on a distinguished road...
will become famous soon enough...

Well not to change them but add to them just for kicks!
so ans so is an unknown quatity at this point-0 reps
so and so exhibits useful info on the weekends-5to10 reps (invisible of course)
so and so is on a distinguished road- 1+reps
so and so is not just fun at parties-2+reps
so and so saves drowning children- 3+reps
so and so appears to have grey material between the ears-4+reps
so and so will become famous soon enough- 5+reps or like fifty total reps whether they counted or not
so and so needs to get paid for this- 7+reps
so and so should be listened to...for karma's sake! -10+reps

for negative reps
keep the so and so has had some shameless behavior
and add for really bad negative reps like negative -5reps
so and so has obvious problems!

sorry i just felt like goofing around...
