How to use reputation

Ok so I'm hoping by now that everyone has noticed the little green dot next to a click box with a head on it. This is board reputation. If you like something someone said, click the head, click the "agree" box (leaving this blank results in neutral rep), give a comment and sign your name. Same process for negative rep. The higher reputation you have when giving rep out, the more points that will be given or taken away by your action. Please use this in a constructive manner, and don't give "strike back" reputation. And always sign your reputation, don't be an anon asshole like so many do on other boards.

Why bother?

I totally don't understand it.

How do you know what people say about you? I'd like to read all the people who have whined about the ish I've said to them. :D

lol hit that button next to the green dot i'm amazed ppl up mine.

so how do u read them? and whats the whole point of it?

who knows the point but for asking you'll get some good one from me.
Even though it doesn't matter

At the top of the page is a link called "user cp" where you can view any reputation you have recieved. It's basically a way for the community easily display someone's relative, oh i don't know, competance or personality. Let's face it, someone comes in and constantly starts spouting stupid crap and whatnot, gets too much neg rep, and nobody will even pay attention to them when they say something stupid. Then again, someone who has lots of constructive ideas, advice and helps members out well will get positive reputation, and as a result, members will feel more at ease trusting the advice they might recieve.

thats really gay though in fact bad rep for all! lol j/p
but what about what SIZ said i'm in same boat you say somthing stupid we both tell you what we think and not to brag but both of us are damn knowagle as far as civics go. So take 2 OG shitty rep and get an ass kissing noob who doesn't do anything to help in tech threads he'll get great rep.

It don't matter to me. I peeked at mine today and i saw you gave me bad rep cause i said shit to a buffons post. Now what if i got pissed returned the favor to you you returned to me etc etc.
I dont even play with the rep system nor do I care bout it

I got a different question, what are referrals? I guess i have one and i dont understand what it is.

how exactly do you see your points for you, i cant find how to read comments
