Forum Tips for the Noobs!

[JasonzSon]

Definitely some useful tips that I would probably have been caught violating if they weren't here.

It looks great skin.

If you do some updates again, maybe a mention about not double posting.

And about using the multiple post feature (as the two are related). Rather than respond to one post after another, resulting in two, three or four posts in a row from the same user, multiple post and answer each comment in the same message. It cuts down on superfluous messages and keeps the machine running smoothly.

Yeah good stuff Skinster, someone gonna be a future mod perhaps? Just hope those new kids actually have the brains to read it and make sense on it before going alone with the posting...

would somebody mind explaining more in depth what the reputation points are all about? i clicked on somebody elses at random and it said approve or disapprove? with an option to comment on them. if you disapprove does their reputation points go down? is there somewhere you can check what comments people posted on your own reputation thing?
much appreciated if somebody can explain or point me to where the info's at. cheers

Yes, but it depends on how many points you have. Their rep will only go down half as many points as you have. Like, if you have 50, and they have 100, and you decide to rep them down, they will only go down 25 points. I'm not 100% positive, but I'm pretty sure.

is there somewhere you can check what comments people posted on your own reputation thing?

User CP.

much appreciated if somebody can explain or point me to where the info's at. cheers

Hope that helps.

I truly don't mean to sound rude at all, but reputation points mean absolutely nothing. One of the mods were asked about it, and they just said it was for fun. You can turn them off and it stops recording reputation points.

You don't get a gold star if you get to 100 points. In fact, it probably means you're boring. If someone doesn't agree with one of your posts, you'll hear about it. They won't bother disapproving your reputation points.

But, if you're worried about it, I'll give you some.
