Referrals are not Reputation. Reputation is other users evaluating the quality of your posts and your general contribution to discussions/forums.
Referrals are totally different (although I believe they do count towards Reputation). You get a referral if you get someone to join the forums here and they write you in as the person who referred you to join.
Your Reputation box is red because you probably got one or more Negative Reps.
Oh, and I'm sure you all know this already, but to give Rep to a user you click on the red button next to 'Off' (grey) or 'On' (red) below the user's avatar. Then you get to choose whether to 'Approve' or 'Disapprove' that user's post, the first adding positive Rep, the latter giving negative Rep and post a comment along with your Rep.
Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
Damn, there could be better color coding. Both buttons are red, this is going to be chaos. Reporting positivity when you meant to report negativity, and vice versa.
Ok this is how it works, the button labeled 'Rep' is for reputation, the button labeled 'Report' is for reporting spoilers and other things against the rules to a mod/admin. It is very hard to confuse the two since they both have alternative pages after you click the button.Originally Posted by The Heretic Azazel
how can i check what my current rep power is?
Edit: nvm, i just clicked my own rep button, and it shows it there.
from my testing, it appears that the second green box shows up at +100 reputation.
To give some statistics, as of right now, 110 rep hits total have been given. 12 people have received net negative reputations from the start, and nine have fallen below zero.
A gross total of 933 reputation points have been given out, of which 707 have been positive, and 226 negative. I'm pretty happy with that, for the system having been around for like a day and a half.
At other forums I never paid any attention to these rep systems at all, but now when it was introduced here I noticed the comment system that goes alongside it (because it was mentioned in this thread). That makes it much more worthwhile. They make very nice jokes.
I actually started giving rep as a joke, and today somebody also returned the favor. This is a wonderful opportunity to keep your wits sharp, as it's not enough to simple read posts, but you must also think if they could be twisted for this use.
