Reputation Explained

*still confused* Was I supposed to get 10 rep power points for joining? 'Cause I don't think I did.....

Rep power of 10? No - not upon registration. That's something you will gradually build up to. For more info ref how this works: See dm.su's Reputation Guide

Maybe Meyham is confused with rep power and rep points? In Dai's post, he mentioned that new users will gain 10 rep points not rep power.

thanks for the explanation, i was kind of confused before. Actually, i am still a little confused.
When a member give you a 1 reputation is 1 point power. isn't it?. I have been given good rep. and thank but it doesn't add to my rep power. But, after three or four people gave me a rep. then 1 or 2 point power add up.
is that how it works?

For explanation of reputation, please read through dm.su's guide on reputation Here.

You should get a good picture of reputation after reading the guide.

BBut i wanted to give rep in the doujinshi section. I clicked onto that blue square n nothing happened. It was a user whom i didnt give rep before n i haven't exceeded my rep limit for this day. I dont get this...

I also have at times the problem that the rep box doesn't open when I click on the rep button (maybe some browser issues), but it is still possible to give rep by right clicking the rep button and choose "open in new tab/window".

I was just curious, how do the "pips" work (the little blue squares). Because some people with more rep points than me have less pips than I do and vice versa. Are they separate things?

[ZSP]

@staces, the blue squares and rep points are basically the same thing. For example, I have 35 rep power and if I rep you in a positive way (approve the post) you'll get 35 rep points (not the same as rep power). If I were to rep you in a negative way (disapprove the post) you'd get about 18 rep points taken away.

So when you give positive rep, the number of rep power you have is the number of rep points you give the user you repped. When you give negative reputation, half of the rep power you have are taken away from the other user's reputation points.

Some users have more rep power than you but less squares because they have been in the forum more time or they posted a lot of times, but didnt get repped much. You get 1 reputation power every month in the date you registered and also 1 rep power every 100 posts you make. Also if someone has more squares than you but less rep power, it's because they have been repped a lot when they're still new members who havent posted much, etc.

If you still have doubts read dm.su's guide Here.

I know I can see whom I have rep'ed, but can i also see if someone has given rep to me or disapproved any of my posts? I don't remember, but I think I had more rep a few weeks ago. *confused*

You can see if someone has given rep to you by clicking the "User CP" on the top, but you only can see the recent 5 rep given to you.

Hope that help.
