tristangrace Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I also wanted to know . . . how many positive rep points equal a green square? And do the green squares morph into stars someday? Or are stars something else altogether? And is it customary to thank people for positive rep points? Or does that set up an endless loop of politeness? (BTW: A warm "thank you" to those who gave me rep points--I didn't know that was happening until just now.) TIA! Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever you get repped enough to have 100 points, you get an additional square, and your rep is now worth 2 points. Every 1000 posts you are worth an additional one point. The stars are ratings of the individual threads. They have nothing to do with rep. No, you don't have the thank the person, unless you really want to. Just bask in the knowledge that you are appreciated! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genie Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Oh, and you have to have 50 posts before your rep to other people will count. Before that, they will still see it as a greyish/blue square. But don't let that stop you! People enjoy rep, no matter what it's worth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurie4b Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 So the first square is free, the second square is for quality, and any additional squares are for quantity. Did I get that right? I've been wondering how this works. Where did you learn it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genie Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 So the first square is free, the second square is for quality, and any additional squares are for quantity. Did I get that right? I've been wondering how this works. Where did you learn it? Not quite. You only get additional squares from being repped by others. So your squares are truly for quality. Your additional POINTS are for quantity. I have 4 squares, so that means I've earned at least 300 rep points. For those squares, I'm worth 4 points. But I have also posted over 2000 posts, so that earns me an additional 2 points when I rep someone. But that doesn't appear in my squares. So if you want to know how many points someone is worth, count their squares and add 1 for every 1000 posts. Make sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riada Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Is there somewhere that you read this or how did you figure it out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genie Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Is there somewhere that you read this or how did you figure it out? I think it is written out in the "Everything you ever wanted to know about rep" post that is a sticky on one of these boards. It was also discussed quite a bit when we switched over to this new board format. Plus, I've observed it in my rep points on the User CP. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

genie Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 One more thing, don't forget to sign your name to your rep, because otherwise it's anonymous! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
