How Reputation works Q/A

[wooly]

Thanks! That's what I was looking for.

Can anyone think of a way that users could be encouraged to use the rep system, it may be my limited view point but the only people I see with more than one bars are moderators and admins. Does giving people rep give you xp? Could this happened.

The best way to insure that other users utilize the Reputation System is to use it yourself. People tend to return positive rep in kind to those who have given it.

And it's not just admins and mods with more than one bar. Admins and Mods tend to be the most visible members of a forum so you'll catch us more often than others, but other users have more than one bar. Some of them have be relatively inactive since the end of the season though.

I give out rep points, but I cannot see who gives it to me. I can only guess who does it; does everyone else get to see who gave out rep to them? I do go to the settings tab and it shows which posts earned me rep points, as well as what was commented with the points, but it doesn't show who said it.

As far as I can tell, only admins can see who gave points. Because in Nik's little pictures showing how it worked, there was a name by the rep points. And I don't have those names there. So I concluded that it is an admin special thing. I guess it's to protect privacy or something.

I used to be able to see names (before I was a mod), but I hadn't looked for a while. Not sure if that is a desired change or not. One of the big guns may have to check it out.

used to be different. I don't know when that changed. I'll look into it.

Thanks big gun!

*sigh* I know it's possible but I can't find the option for it. I'm on another VB forum and I can see all my rep comments along with who gave it to me and I'm just a lowly registered user there....
