You know ive posted this 3 times now right? Bah.
Rep points are in the future going to be tied in with the chips system, that way rewards the members who post the quality posts more.
Thats all coming soon tho, testing that as we go.
For now its just an indication of how reputable you are in the NDN community, and we are testing various aspects of the rep system as we go (which i dont need to go into so i wont, its a secret!)
Everyone starts at 0 rep points.
To gain rep points you must be +repped by another user. Simple
A user can give a person rep by clicking on the little scales in the red section above the post they are giving the rep to. Leave a comment if you wish, with your username if u wish so that whoever you are repping knows it was you.
After being repped, you will recieve the amount of rep points that each person can give you. I think i can currently give you 150ish points, as can NDN. Ringo can give 60ish, navuta can give you 5.
The "rep power" you have, otherwise known as the amount of point you GIVE people when you rep them, is calculated by the lognth of time youve been a member of NDN, the amount of posts you have, and the amount of rep you have.
Pretty simple, just tells you for know whose good and whose not!
Give it time, itll get a whole lot better
