Rep power?

Thread Status: Hello , There was no answer in this thread for more than 90 days.
It can take a long time to get an up-to-date response or contact with relevant users.
While we're asking forum questions, I had a couple as well:

1) how do I change my avatar?

2) now that I've replied to a few threads I'm also 'subscribed' to all of them, and so some days have received quite a few e-mails. Is it possible to 'unsubscribe', or change my subscription options?

And Matt: I think rep power is something that other people give you. See near your post number, there is a little icon that looks like the scales of justice. When you mouse over it it says 'add to <name>'s reputation', so if you see a topic that you find very helpful, I assume that you can click that, and it will give the person rep points.

You and I are just too new to have gotten any yet :P

It's ok guys, we don't give rep to Americans.... We used to, but agbiv just abuses his power!! :P
Ha ha, in all seriousness, it's just where people give you a bit of rep by clicking the scales near your post to show you their approval for what you wrote.

And try "User CP" up the top there for your avatar and subscriptions.
 
Thanks troll, yes all setting can be found by entering your "user cp" in fact a lot of folk set there browser to open on their user cp as this allows you to see if anyone has answered your post.
You guys can receive rep (again viewable in your cp) but you need to make 25 post before the system becomes active. :)

You don't loose rep points when you give rep points. In fact it's likely that others will be keen on returning the favour.

But euh don't become a rep whore as some people above here tend to become :king

Kars if you are referring to me I’d just like to say that I’ve never once in my years at Deeper Blue asked for any Rep.:naughty
Whore I might be but it sure wouldn’t be for rep, now pies, cake and beer is another thing.:inlove:inlove:inlove
As a side note being a forum moderator I can also give negative rep which will knock points off of your score!!!! Have a nice day.:D

Ooh Podge, I'm sorry, off cause I did not mend you!

Asking for Reputation points is perfectly ok, in fact very noble, as one asks to evaluate critically one's postings.

The system is off cause a nice way to stimulate some to do their -extra- best to come up with useful, funny, interesting etc posts.

So why I shouldn't go for that and share with you some more in depth insight into how this works?

Let the Rep points flow!
 
Here's a point for knowing how to play the Deeperblue game! Well done!

Now if only you could cash it in like this Reddit user!

Maybe a good idea for Papa Smurf?

A sort of competition for the most appreciated post at the end of the year?

A cool DVD would be a really nice price, such as the upcoming Greater Meaning of Water film.

Oh and I confess, I do fancy getting a lot of rep points too, especially when I put a lot of effort in making useful, constructive and challenging posts. So you can keep on firing away, I'm nearly running 1:2 post/rep, LOL :friday

Love, Courage and Water,

Kars
