Hi all,

I just activated the user reputation system in the forum - its that little green cross under your avatar.
You can give an take reps off a member if you agree or disagree - All members of AC can do that not only moderators.

Its an easy way to either reward or take away reps for a good or bad post - this is done by pressing the little gree cross beside the ON sign (which shows that you are online) - you can leave comments why you agree or disagree with a membes post - or choose not to.
The one repped can then see who and why they have been neg or pos repped.

The thread voting (lower right corner of every post) Thumb up and down is also linked to the rep system.


The user reputation/rating system allows the board members to leave comments about one anothers' posts, and thereby contribute to their overall 'reputation'.

How does it work?

Members can gain and/or lose reputation based on how their posts are scored by other forum participants. Members with the ability to affect reputation, will either give or take aways points by approving or disapproving with a post's content. This can be achieved by clicking on the reputation icon (green cross on the left side)

The ability to add/remove from another member's reputation is based on a set of controls which includes seniority, post count, own reputation level etc. This is expressed as reputation-altering power and will typically increase over time and by contributing more to the board. The higher your reputation-altering power is, the more impact a comment on another member's post will have.

A member's reputation/rating is depicted by a single icon with varying colours. The darker the colour the more neutral a reputation/rating is, the brighter the colour the more positive/negative a reputation/rating score is - atm you have only one green but they can become up to 5 green or 5 red depending how much you're liked :)
