hey what does the reputation power mean my rep is 10 my power is 1?
That is a great question, thank you for being the first one to ask a question of that stature.
The answer to your question is:
The reputation feature is an add-on, which enables members to set other members' reputation in the community. The way that it works is each member will be able to "approve" or "disapprove" of each post. If the member thinks that the post is a good post and will benefit the community, they will approve of that post. On the other hand, if they think that the post could potentially be bad for the community, they would disapprove their post. If the member who is reading the post is undecided of the way he\she feels about the post, they simply do not have to add to that member's reputation.
The reason this feature is important for the community: In order to keep the site as clean as possible for the members without completely disallowing everything, there is a filtering system, which is settable via "Edit Options" in your user control panel (User CP.) This filter will allow you to hide posts that are posted by members with negative reputation points. The amount of negative reputation points you want to hide is also settable via "Edit Options (http://www.game-dog.com/forums/profile.php?do=editoptions)" in your User CP (http://www.game-dog.com/forums/usercp.php).
The reputation power that you have is the number of reputation points that you give or take away from another member with each reputation click. Think of it, as more of a "reputation-altering power" and you should understand the concept.
Details on Reputation Power:
Every 180 days, you will gain 1 point of reputation-altering power.
Every 500 posts, you will gain 1 point of reputation-altering power.
Every 100-reputation points, you will gain 1 point of reputation-altering power.
<h2>Q & A:</h2>
How many posts must a user have before his reputation hits count on others? 50
How much reputation must a user have before his reputation hits count on others? 10
How many reputation clicks can a user give over each 24-hour period? 10
How many different users must you give reputation to before you can hit the same person again? 10

How do we give users reputation points?---------->
If you have any questions, please reply to this post and we will answer it as soon as possible then will be added to the list above on this post. In order for this to be as useful as possible, each member must participate in its cause. In the long run, you will find it will be more useful than irritating. The way that the site is increasing with activity right now, I am confident that it will be doing much better when some of the major features, which I have discussed in the announcement forum, are released. If that is true, you will have many things you don't want to see but may be useful for some to sift through. It will make the forum as clean as possible for you.

thanks for the quick reply im sure that will help am lot of ppl shon it was a bit confusing and also it is new >>>>>>>>>>>boondockkennels

Im not sure I completely understand the REPUTATION system. When I go to add REPUTATION to someone which i have given it to previously......it tells me I have to spread around some.
So I do..........and go back and it tells me I have to spread it around somemore.
a. What if I don't want to give it to anyone else? Are you forcing me to give REPUTATION to someone I don't feel deserves it and if you are then the system is screwed.
b. Why are we limited on our REPUTATION? Should we not encourage those whose ideas we agree with and support them?
c. Is this a valid system or just someones way of trying to control the outcome of what/who is given credability on this site?

Thanks for asking that... I didn't feel that it was necessary to mention unless somebody wanted to know more about that. I am trying to get the members to think and everything. If they can't figure something out or want to know more about something I want them to ask and then I'll clear it up about what they ask.

There are many members who post, in order to keep the reputations from being abused, each member is required to give 10 different people reputation points (good or bad) before they hit that same person twice.

You are also limited to 10 reputation clicks per day. If everyone seems to handle this well and starts working with it and using it for the posts that users make on the site, that may change. But to ensure that it is not abused and to be as fair as possible for each user, it is necessary right now.

There are no outcomes as to who will get reputation points on the site. It is simply a way to voice your opinion about a person?s posts on the site without making everything completely public.

I'm still confused as to this rep give and take stuff. If someone thinks I put up a good post they can build my rep, right? Is this done confidentially or publicly. Will I see who thought what, or not? Does more rep carry more weight, and in what area?

The reputation recieved will be semi-public... everybody will see what has been said about posts that each person has made, but they won't see who give the reputation points to the person. It is a good way to let other people know how reputable a person is... if they have a negative reputation, you can filter out their posts and all in your user control panel.
Later there will be promotions and a good reputation will be required to advance... I won't say too much about it right now, I don't want everybody going crazy over it. But it would be wise for everybody to start using it as much as possible in order for it to be useful :)

The gray means it is neutral or that the reputation you are viewing didn't count because of the person's reputation power. If they're reputation power is zero, it won't affect your reputation.

it does't seem to be working right now, when you click on one, all it does is move you to the top of the page.

IMO more people are using the rep. thing, but for the wrong reasons. They seem to use it more for black-balling others with different opinions, than for rewarding useful info. or discouraging useless idiocy. If anyone needs an example of this sillyness look at the last couple rep. points on mine.....LMAO. If I'm wrong and this is the way it's meant to be, then I've been doing it wrong. And need to get to work on some people I have a difference of opinion with.....:rolleyes: :D hehehe
damn, the weight problem one was harsh.

Glad to see this thread pop up. The other day I was veiwing my profile to see other options and noticed I had some reputation points. At first I did'nt know if it was good or bad until I read them. But I still didn't know what they were for, how to do the same for others and what they did. Well now I know.

how many bad reps does it take to get banned and if you get a lot of good reps what happens.
if you're rep points get low people will not be able to see you're post.everbody has a rep filter that is set at a certain number of points i believe it is -1. so if you go below -1 on rep people cannot see you're post unless they change their rep. filter. shon can probally explain it a little better but hope that helps some. i do not believe you can get banned from low rep points.

hmm yeah, i got some of this also. it says i have 9 points. but i can only see like 5 of them. im assuming they are the most recent. i think we should be able to see who left us the rep points. and people who give stupid negitive rep points like "bad grammer" like i got should be band from giving rep points as bad grammer has nothing to do with the dogs. or pretty puppies, etc.. they have nothing to do with a persons contribution to the publics knowledge and awareness of the breed. i think people not being able to see who gave them the points just gives some currs a way to hide. if ur going to say it u should atleast stand behind your convictions. to this date i have not givin anyone any rep points as i see alot of bandwagon people just repeating the same thing that seems to be the popular stance on the topic. which is kinda sad, people need to learn to stop following the bandwagon and lead their own lives and learn to think and act on their own account. or else someone who goes agianst the grain, but prooves a good point wouldnt be able to have their voice heard for not just blindly agreeing like the rest of the followers who cant think for themselves.

If people are afraid of leaving bad reputation because of the possibility of harassment from other users, it renders the reputation filter useless. And that is exactly what would happen if people can see who is leaving bad rep.
Usually, if you got a bad reputation point, you deserved it. It may not be deserved 100% of the time but you can always make up for it by making a truly good post down the line.

People do that already...very childish....Most all reps left were left for a reason...good or bad.
Some of the things you are inquiring about....well lets just say that you will have to stick around the site much longer to find out why what was left on you..was left...
Like was said before anyways..It DOES tell you.......If you REALLY want to know, send your payment in to Marty and the board and become a premium member......
Where there is a will there is a way.....
If people are afraid of leaving bad reputation because of the possibility of harassment from other users, it renders the reputation filter useless. And that is exactly what would happen if people can see who is leaving bad rep.
This is already happening....everyday...very childish....you leave rep because you feel as though it was a bad post...they find out it was you and they in return leave you bad rep for something that is quite obvious good.....
