Reputation Explained

[dm.su]

Going back and forth with editing the guide for bees and coloured boxes >< lol

Don't mind either one, but glad the position of avatar, username and title are back to normal - centre position didn't look right for me.

I liked the glowing boxes better than the bees...but what I really loved was the butterflies!
Any chance of getting them back?

Yeah, the glowing boxes looked quite neat, I liked them better too.

If someone gave me negative rep by mistake how is this solved?

I checked my rep. received and I got a little red box but the person writes thanks for ttaking part in a contest.

Since this is the only entry I have with a red box I assume its negative rep. But the person says thanks so it has to be a mistake right?

So I am asking now how can this be fixed? Should the person give 2 sets of positive reps or will a mod fix this?

I would appreciate any help here, thanks ^^

Sorry - it's not reversible

@ spirited_soul
it's probably a mistake made by the repper ^^;; i made the same mistake too. you probably should ask the repper through PM and see whether it's really a mistake or not

...btw, it wasn't me who did that to you, right? 0______0 *is about to slap self if it is*

Sadly at the user's end, if the repper didn't mention their username in the rep comment, you wouldn't know who sent it. I think admins have a log of rep and who sent who etc.

No it wasn't you! ^^

I guess I can live with it but I will PM the person who sent the rep.

Thanks

Excuse me if this has been asked/explained before...:

Is this anonymous? I mean, when you give (or take) rep, does the person you are giving or taking get to know who gave or took his/her rep??

I know I'm a bit confusing... I'm bad with words, sorry... Still, if someone could explain, I'd be glad.

Yes it's completely anonymous for us regular users when you rep positively or negatively. What is displayed in their user cp is the post & date being repped and the comment left by the user.

If you want the person to know who you are when you rep positively, just write your name in the comment box when you rep.

Pressing the 'Thanks' button will display your name in the post you are thanking for.
