How does the little green bar in our info work?

Xaios · 03-08-2012, 05:27 PM

Every post you make has a little icon beside it that looks like a weight scale. Other posters can click on this icon and add or detract reputation points, which will show up on your profile. The more reputation points you gain, the larger your reputation bar will grow. It will grow by one bar for every 500 points of reputation you gain while you have dark green bars. Then, when you move into light green bar territory, it will grow every 1500 points. After that, only the favor of a fabled viking god will grant a golden rep bar (it takes a lot of points, but I'm not certain how many off the top of my head). However, if you're an asshole and people detract from your reputation enough for it to become a negative number, your rep bar will turn red.

Every time someone "thanks" a thread you've created (with the "thumbs up" icon that appears in the first post of each thread), you earn 5 points of rep. When people add rep to an individual post, the amount of rep you gain (or lose) is predicated on the amount of rep the person giving/taking the rep already has.

Additionally, for each thread you created where someone "thanked" your initial post in the thread, it will increase the "Thanked" counter directly above your rep bar. However, this only happens once per thread.

Nailed it. Notice how I liked his post, which doesn't grant him any rep. It ups his like counter on his profile, which doesn't increase his e-penis like rep does (

). I personally don't like the like system very much, but I give likes every once in a while when I feel as though a post doesn't "deserve" rep, but was good nonetheless. Sometimes I like and I give rep because why not?

I rep at home, and like on the phone.. Only because Rep doesn't work properly on my iPhone.

The more bars you have under your name, the longer your e-penis will grow. This is how forums work.

Explorer · 03-08-2012, 08:42 PM

Huh.

I thought both rep and like gave some kind of rep enhancement. I will do both to recognize a good post.

Now I find out that likes are worthless in terms of enhancing a member.

That didn't come out right.

I'm pretty sure that likes don't give any rep at all. I'm pretty sure I remember way back when it first started that there were talks of having likes give only a fraction of what giving regular rep, but I don't think it ever came to fruition. I might be wrong though.

Metal Ken is the king of rep.

TRENCHLORD · 03-08-2012, 09:49 PM

I like the likes.
It's a great way to agree with or endorse someone's post without having to expand upon it or waste thread page space with good ole ^this or the agree icon.

I believe you can disable the rep system if you like, but not the like system (maybe).

ZEBOV · 03-09-2012, 12:22 AM

The like system was the best thing to happen to this forum.

It's normally something really, really out of line or posting in the classifieds lol

skeels · 03-09-2012, 06:56 AM

Oo how can I get a black rep box?
That's so cool!

By becoming a Contributor via a small fee, part of which goes to the St. Jude Children's Hospital.

Then you'll have the option to disable rep, as well as a few other bonuses like a larger PM inbox, larger avatar file size, etc.

Not to mention getting a little "non-e" respect from me for caring enough about this place to help keep it around.

Xaios · 03-09-2012, 11:16 AM

I notice that you receive your first golden rep bar at 12,000 rep points. How many points it takes to get another, I'm not sure.

Again, probably just easier to gain the favor of a diety of some kind.

Also, if reps a post but they themselves don't have enough rep to actual add points to your rep, their rep message will be accompanied by a little black box on your rep profile instead of the usual green positive or red negative box.
