Glad to hear it, and with that kind post I gave you your 1st reputation points. :thumbsup:

Uh, not for nothing but what prevents someone from being a wank and giving bad marks to someone for no reason?

How can you view the comments?

The simple answer is nothing can prevent that. However there are restrictions such as a person must have a certain number of posts before they can give/take reputation points. There are also other factors such as;


Register Date Factor
For every X number of days, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power.

Post Count Factor
For every X number of posts, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power.

Reputation Point Factor
For every X points of reputation, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power.

Minimum Post Count to give out reputation points.

Minimum Reputation Count to give out reputation points.

Now, with all of that said, it would not prevent a fellow poster from taking reputation points if they meet the aforementioned criteria. However, it does prevent trolls from coming to the board with the sheer intention of assailing a persons reputation. It also rewards those who have been here for a long time, have many posts, and have great reputations when they give out positive points. Another words, they will counteract a un-established posters negative points, and that is the way it should be. Only if a person is a general pain in the rear will they wind up with a red square and a poor reputation. It is based on the totality of the points given/taken away.


Hope that helps to explain the system.

It does, indeed. Thanks.

Thanks for the explanation Z Factor. I haven't been able to check this thread in a couple of days.

For some reason my response to this post was lost in cyberspace.

It is not necessary for someone to leave a comment when giving or taking away reputation points. However, if someone does leave a comment, you can view it for that post by clicking on the same reputation icon that is used for leaving reputation points. It will tell you if that post has received any positive or negative points, and if a comment was left, it will show what it is.
