User reputation is something new since the upgrade of the software.
It is a nifty feature to use as good deeds can be encouraged by the masses and bad deeds discouraged.

Below are the current reputation levels.

Everytime another member gives you good feedback by clicking on the Yellow square icon below your username you receive an additional point. Bad feedback subtracts one point.

cool :uhoh:

is that just to let us know about someone...like who to watch out for :confused:

and is it possible for us to view ours?

I'm not sure about the descriptions but is there like a leader board somewhere?

I hope we don't start getting "reputation whores"

so when you look under your subscribed threads, does the brown mean negative and the green mean positive? Because I'm getting brown squares for posts where I'm helping people and its b.s.

I seriously think this shouldnt be annonomus. If people find out they have negative feedback, they are going to start giving everyone on that post negative feedback just for revenge.

i am curious about the green/brown color too. i think it's alright to have it anonymous but it would be nice to know why. so many people on here freely say BS or that's not right but to just click " I dissaprove" with no comment, I am surprised people would take the time. at least correct me if i am wrong. :dunno:
