reputation?

[mrniceguy]

why is it that i am still an "unknown quantity", there are people on here that have not been on here as long as i have, who have not posted as many times as i have, they have not been thanked as many times as i have and they have more rep. points and are labled as a "glorious beacon of light". how does this work?? i really like the site and i dont feel "unknown". sorry if i sound like a 12 year old school boy, i am just curious...

where do you see a glorious beacon of light? and where does it say your unknown? i must be missing something awell

 

[HippyInEngland]

i really like the site and i dont feel "unknown".

Who are you?









Patience, it will come, its like growing a plant, you cant rush it.
The more thanks your given, the more bars you get.
You have to remember something, you need to give as well as take on here

 

[slowmo77]

i just found what your talkin about. hippy said it all. good luck

 

[Puffin Afatty]

I always wondered about it too I think it's all based upon how many times you are thanked, and how many times you thank others

if that is how it works than like i said, why is there people that have not been thanked as many times as i have and have not been a member as long as i have and have more rep? again i am just curious...

 

[slowmo77]

i think its a numbers thing, its based on how many times you've posted ,thanked and been thanked in how many posts. the higher you post count and thanks the better your rep. i could be wrong.

Why don't you ask Hick in a PM He should be able to answer you

There is thanks, and there is rep, thanks is clicking the thanks, rep is clicking the scales.

and earlier you said rep is affected by thanks...did you not? "the more thanks you get the more bars.." youve confused me hippy

i think ill do that

 

[smokybear]

I wouldn't worry about it too much. It's not a big deal or anything. Just provide sound advice and give thanks where it's deserved and you will build a reputation my friend. Just my thoughts. Take care and be safe.

Quite correct, its like a double card, thanks is thanks, and adds to your rep, clicking the scales is direct rep.

 

[Hick]

I believe you are all correct. It's all a kinda' silly IMO,... "numbers"' game.
I think the higher 'your' rep, the more rep point are awarded, when you "give" rep.
I 'think' that clicking the scale and giving 'direct rep' as HIE called it, gives more points, too.

It really only indicates that you have posted a lot and probably have made several friends on the forum. More of a "popularity" indicator in most cases.

 

[mrniceguy]

thank you all.... my ? is answered....like i sadi i was just curious...not complaining

 

[slowmo77]

sounds right to me. thanks hick

The scale will give you 2 and the thanks gives you one every time its clicked but the thing is you can only give out the scale (2 pointer) once every few days if you haven't been on a thanks (1 pointer) too much. Ive always just thought it polite to thank someone for even posting in the thread i start or when it is truly helpful
