Tutorial: User Reputation

**Bulldogg** · 05-23-2010 01:01 PM

This tutorial is about User reputation.

What is user reputation? Well, the more you post and give helpful advice, the more your reputation increases. Here is the full details.

NOTE: The user reputation button is at the bottom of every post and is a PINK HEART:

If you see a post from someone that you feel should increase their reputation, just click this blue button. You will be given the option to place a short comment about why you are giving reputation to them. So what deserves reputation? Sharing photos, great stories, giving advice, making you laugh.... these are things that deserve reputation.

The more reputation you receive, the more points (reputation power) you have. So people with high reputation give more points than people with low reputation. You can see your current reputation power on the Community News page under the user control panel.

You can view your posts that have received reputation by click on "settings" at the top of the forums.
Noone else can see this area but you, it is a part of your personal profile information. When you give a helpful post or reputation to someone, this is the only area where you can view the details of whom may have issued it to you. This is also where you will see your current reputation power. Remember, you must first get reputation to gain reputation power.

You can view other's reputation status on any of their posts. As you gain reputation, you will gain more "dots" and your status will change.

If you become a 4 Paw Member, you will have two additional benefits to user reputation. You will be allowed to give negative reputation, and you will also be able to see which users have given you reputation. CLICK HERE to find out more about being a 4 Paw Member.

As a final note, user reputation is meant to be fun and not hurtful, so those who have the ability to give negative reputation, please do it with caution.

@JAKEISGREAT
No...thankfully you can't give "thumbs down" on the posts.

Unless you do it this way.

If it turns red...it might be your browser. You should be able to leave reputation (but not to the same person twice in a row) If it turns red..that might be the case. When I was using Explorer...the window would open beneath the post and you couldn't see it.
