Got myself two grey ones but they wrote nice comments with it and said that they really liked what I wrote, so they cant be bad points.

Asked Adi about this aaages ago... he told me that the grey ones are from people that have no power to give reputation so they do not count. He didn't say why some people don't have that power... I've had two, I remember one was from a very new member. Perhaps if you have under 10 posts or something you can't give rep? Would make sense, forums often seem to have rules like that to stop people having multiple accounts to big themselves up
Hey it works. Hmm, looks I'll have to start contributing something worthy of the points.

Guys, I wouldn't worry about it too much I have four of them sitting there and it does not appear to of harmed my reputation.
What Arctict Hobo said does ring a bell. but it was quite a long time ago, so I cannot be 100% sure.
There also used to be a limit on the amount of rep points that you could give in a certain period of time and you had to spread the points about a bit (this way there can be no favouritism), in some cases like PatrickM and Storm they do deserve more for the work that they have put in on tutorials, but over a period of time they will accumulate a number of points.

What are the rep points for anyway, can we all be good and save up for a stereo or something.............Jon
I have two grey ones as well, apparently that makes me an "unknown quantity" whatever that is. What does it say if you start getting red ones?
"Flock botherer?", "Often Grumpy?" . 
That's not an invitation to test it out on my account mind ;-)

I've been making the same assumption, since I've never seen anything there. Do you have to be a full member or something?Topcat02 said:Whereabouts are rep points shown. I had a quick look in "User CP", but couldnt spot anything about rep points. I presume that means I havent got any.
Nope you don't have to be a full member.... if a post is good or bad simply click on the scale icon on the post and leave postitive or negative reputation.... everyone can do the same for you..... if you click on the scale icon on your own posts you will get your current reputation.
Hope this helps

OK, thanks Ed. If I understand what happened with RedCollective, then the menu entry in user CP only appears once you've been given rep points. Clicking on the scales shows that I have the default 10 points - guess I'd better come up with something better...
This is off the top of my head.
Only members with a few posts (it might be ten) can give people reputation
Reputation can be positive or negative
Everyone starts with 10 points
I was going to get my head around it all but Im upgrading the forums soon and I think that the reputation is revamped in that so Ill wait till then and then let you all know how it works. The reputations that people have now shouldnt be affected by the upgrade so continue to use the system.
