    What is rep good for?

    I've looked in the obvious places (the useful information section, announcements, etc...), but I can't figure out what rep is actually good for. I did search, too, but to no avail. Does it translate into credits somehow? Do I get more privileges with more rep? This is probably quite simple, but I have no clue.

    Re: What is rep good for?

    It is simple, you get rep when people click the little check box on your posts, saying you were helpful or something. Then your rep goes up... thats all it is really for, nothing special. Just a little thing that tells people if you have good or bad posting habits I guess.

    There was never any special credits given or anything before, might be now though, not sure about the credits.

    yeah pretty much, but its so small you'd never know to look for it unless you were actually paying attention and knew about it before hand. Well or maybe if you are just playing around with buttons and such.

    It doesn't look like your rep is even displayed publicly, I certainly can't find it on anyone else's profile, though you can see the number of referrals they've generated, which doesn't really serve any purpose.

    Re: What is rep good for?

    First off, you can only see your own amount of points and what people have said to you. BUT! you can see the little green square under your forum title. That, if you hover your cursor over it and stop moving, shows you what the users reputation is like. It has silly little statements for what your reputation is at.

    Secondly, your forum title changes by how many posts you have. Unless you are a part of staff or are in a group which has its own title. Also about 2/3 of staff have the ability to change theirs/edit it... or make 2 different ones.

    Wow, interesting delve into the mysteries of x10. Did some poking around on Google and found this scale:
    User is infamous around these parts (below -50)
    User can only hope to improve (-50)
    User has a little shameless behaviour in the past (-10)
    User is an unknown quantity at this point (0)
    User is on a distinguished road (10)
    User will become famous soon enough (50)
    User has a spectacular aura about (150)
    User is a jewel in the rough (250)
    User is just really nice (350)
    User is a glorious beacon of light (450)
    User is a name known to all (550)
    User is a splendid one to behold (650)
    User has much to be proud of (1000)
    User has a brilliant future (1500)
    User has a reputation beyond repute (2000)
    It's not fully accurate, though, because mine's 15 and I see "will be famous soon enough"
