What are reputation point ?

They are not only certain points to access restricted areas. Cause I've seen people saying that. I've used it to do that but initially it is not used for that.

1- Reputation points are points given to thank the uploader for his/her work.
2- Members can give Green reputation ( Means good ) or Red reputation ( Means bad).

The reputation points can go for infinity, there is no set number ( Limit ) to it but there is max Green Bars and Red Bars for reputation point.

Red Bars

• User is infamous around these parts -99999
• 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

Green Bars

• 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

Why Should I give bad or good reputation?

Well good reputation is to thank people for their work. Bad reputation " on other boards, people tend to hate certain people etc.. " So they neg (-) rep that user. So far on this forum, I haven't seen people like that. But who knows might in the future , I don't know but certainly it isn't fun to get neg (-) rep by another user.

What is Reputation Power ?

You start off with 10 reputation point when you register as your default reputation. Now your reputation power increase when your rep point increase.

** What do you mean ?

I mean let say a user have 1000 rep points, his/her (+) rep power and (-) rep power will be greater than a user with 500 rep points.

So let say if that user with 1000 rep point tried to rep you ?
He may be and that is an estimate, he may give you max around +20 rep points. or -10 derep points.

While a user with 500 rep point will give less rep point to another user of course.

~Finally, rep point show your popularity on this forum. I mean if you have a lot of rep point, that shows that you have been a great user on Nihonomaru. Since it shows that you participated a lot on this forum.

We have 3 different skins on this forum, each with different designs and different ways to how to give reputation.
