toontown dawg's Guide to Reputation

[toontown dawg]

Read First-Reputation is usually only around during holiday's and other special occasions, Reputation is not ALWAYS active.

What is Reputation?

Reputation is how informative a member is. Say you see a post you agree with strongly, you would give reputation to that post, and it would be added to the user's stats. It is represented by jellybeans. I'll show some images of them later on.

Rules for Reputation
"Reputation System Misuse" - The Reputation system allows our members to leave comments about one anothers' posts, and thereby contribute to their overall 'reputation'. The following uses of the Reputation System on this site are not allowed:

Reputation Fraud: Creating multiple accounts to give positive reputation to other members or your own account. Soliciting other members/friends to give mass positive repuation to your account or another user's account is also fraud.

Reputation Comments: Giving personal information through reputation comments or trolling/flaming. Our policies still apply for reputation comments and will be dealt with the same as if their comments were PMed to a user. If you obtain any reputation comments that violate any of our policies, then you should contact a mod about this immediately.

Reputation Begging: The act of requesting reputation from other users is called reputation begging. This also includes Signatures, Titles, PM's, posts containing requests or encouragement to give you or another user positive or negative reputation points.

Reputation Bribery: The act of requesting reputation in trade for something is called reputation bribery.

Reputation Pity: The act of posting sad comments about their reputation so other users feel sorry for them so that they will give them reputations is called pity reputation.

How do I give Reputation?

On every post you should see this.[IMG]http://xs125.******/xs125/08125/repscale287.png[/IMG] That is what you click to give reputation to a user. When you click it you should get this message [IMG]http://xs125.******/xs125/08125/rep2164.png[/IMG]
The only option is to approve, not to disaprove. That was disabled due to some user's abusing it. But, if you like the post, you can leave a message by typing it in there. You don't have to, but most people do. Also, they sometimes sign thier username afterwords to signify who gave you reputation.

How do I know I've recived reputation and how do I view it?

This is the easiest part. Just simply use this link and you will see your repuation stats.(If not disabled.) Here(User CP) You should see all recieved reputation, even from last time it was active.
EXAMPLE:This is mine-(Not most current)
[IMG]http://xs225.******/xs225/08126/lrr839.png[/IMG]

While there, if you click the link (The thread's name) It will show you the post that the person(s) gave reputation to.

Also, if you look at the home page, you should see you current reputation level.
EXAMPLE: This would be mine-(Not most current)
[IMG]http://xs225.******/xs225/08126/login910.png[/IMG]

If you click on your own post and try to give yourself reputation, it will only show your current reputation points.
Also, if you have a post that has recieved reputation, it will show all the comments towards the post itself.

I don't like reputation, how do I disbable it?

Well, some user's don't like reputation, so to disable it go to Edit Options and look for a section entitled "Show My Reputation Level".
EXAMPLE:This would be how mine looks-(Not most current)
[IMG]http://xs125.******/xs125/08125/rep3820.png[/IMG]

Just unclick the box with the check in it and it should be disabled.

- Positive Reputation (Green)

- Highly Positive Reputation (Yellow)

-Negative Reputation (Light Orange)

-Highly Negative Reputation (Dark Orange)

- Disabled reputation (Blue)

I don't think there really should be much of a guide stickied somewhere. It would get the members who don't know that rep isn't always here confused and think something was wrong. That's my opinion.

[toontown dawg]

I added something to the beggining, so newer user's know when it is active and inactive.

[Fat Stripey Gigglemuffin]

I've never eally understood repuyation completely.

[Doctor Oswald Superzapper]

Yet again, some people don't look at the beggining of the threads. I'm sure if this was needed, a moderator would have posted it a long time ago. (No Offense)

[toontown dawg]

None taken, I just made this because I haven't seen one around. If this get's deleted or anything like that, it would be fine.

Ok finally someone writes something like this or I found one. I was wondering what the Jellybeans are for.
