Reputation Points are like a 'kudos!' or a 'good job!' that another user might give you in reference to a post. To give rep, click on the scale on the upper right had corner of the user's post. Enter in positive (or negative, but use wisely!) reputation and your comments, if any.
To check your rep points, go to your User Control Panel and scroll past any thread subscriptions you have. You can also view your points by clicking on the scale in your own post.
Users can give up to 50 rep points per day, and must rep 10 people before giving rep to the same person.
Please be sure to spread your rep points around!! Repping the same people is fun, but it's also fun to surprise someone with a little bit of sunshine.
An added note regarding negative reputation:
When PW opened, it was agreed amongst the founding members that negative reputation would only be given as a joke or in a playful manner. Since reputation points don't add up to anything and member level promotions are not based upon reputation, they really are just a fun game-like function of the board.
Negative reputation had been placed on hiatus, however it has been turned back on. PLEASE remember that we do NOT use negative reputation to down the members here. It is the policy of the admin staff that we will not encourage or support such passive aggressive tactics. If you have issues with a post, feel free to pm, email, or post to that member to let them know your issue. We will not and cannot stand behind members hiding behind a red mark that can't be responded to.
If it becomes impossible to function on the board without passing out negative comments via reputation, your ability to give reputation will be removed.
