how does the rep points system work?
- Thread starter tjguthrie16

So what you are saying here is that the general population here cannot give out rep until they get rep points.. So the few people who actually have rep have to initiate the rep system so you can get rep points to give others rep points. Umm that sort of sounds a little off.
I think it is safer to assume that there may be a problem with the rep system not allowing people to give/get rep points.
I hope that someone who knows the system speaks up to explain with some sort of sense because if that is the issue then someone with rep points needs to take initiative, and start distributing rep points to the active members who do not have rep points, but get involved to do their part to make this forum a better place for all of us.
yah i dont get that either mines been red for the longest time, and ive gotten new ones but its still red? strange
Actually what I was saying, was IDK = I dont know.
It was a wild ass guess that nobody had mentioned yet, sorry you thought it sounded a little off.
If you go to your user CP, you can see if you have recieved any rep or not, and who from, etc. etc. Check and see if anyone has, and if so if they have any points, just for sh*ts and giggles.
But IDK.
01blasterdude...give me a rep point and see if it turns me green...ill give you one bak
Ok, gave you 1 of my 6 rep points. I can alter up to 6 points. Check your box, and your User CP (upper left hand corner), and give rep back.
A few notes gathered on the net about Vbulletin forums.
- Everyone has a reputation power = altering power : it is how much you can affect other's reputation (adding or substracting), and it starts at 0 or 1 (haven't tested), and can only grow with register date, post count and reputation.
- Admins can fix their reputation power to 10 or whatever they want.
Whenever someone rates a post either x reputations points is subtracted or added to the reputation total. That x is called reputation altering power. So when a 2 year old member rates someone it has more influecne then a new user rating the same post.

Session 3 of Rep Points 101 (or as much as I can find on it) :-D
It takes more than one given point to add an altering point, which my 6 is my altering points. I now have 22 rep points total though.
TIMZ........Is this info closer to what you wanted to hear? The more rep you have, the more power of change you have, makes sense dont it. We dont want new, low or no rep people to just flood the forum with rep + or -, so it is meant to only allow users that have been on awhile, or who have been helpfull, and recieved rep from other members to influence someones rep points significantly.
