    Exclamation Reputation - What, When and How

    Introduction

    I'm writing this forum tutorial for a few reasons...first of all a while back, 'random repping' and 'rep parties' were not uncommon. And, yes, I was a part of a few. I realize that Wizzup? made a post about these, but it wasn't that detailed. In fact, in my opinion i think it scared a few people, and now they stay away from reputation in general. (No offence Wizzup, just my opinion )

    What is Reputation?

    Reputation is what shows how respected you are in the community. Your reputation level is shown as gray, green or red boxes under your name. They look like this:
























    Green is for positive. It means that you have a reputation higher then 1.

    Blue is for balanced, it means that you have a reputation of 0.

    Red means that you have been 'de-repped'. I will get into this later, and how to do it, but this means that your reputation is under 0.

    Gray means that your reputation is disabled. You can do this yourself if you don't want people to see your reputation. Just go to your Edit Options section, and uncheck the 'Show Your Reputation Level' box. When you first make your account on Villavu, you start out with one green box.

    How do I Give People Reputation?

    You give people reputation by clicking this button: on the top right hand corner of their post. If you want to give or take reputation from them, this is what you click.

    A little box will then appear saying, "What do you think of ***'s post?" and two boxes, one asking if you approve, and one asking if you disapprove. Click which one, then make a comment that you want the person to see. This is not mandatory, however it is nice telling them why you repped/de-repped them.

    Remember: ALL REPUTATION GIVING/TAKING IS ANONYMOUS! Only admins can see who gave/took reputation to others.

    After you give/take their reputation, they will get a notification in their User CP section. It will show what color box ( for giving reputation, for taking reputation, this is new, this is if registered users give reputation, it doesn't give or take reputation from you.) and it will show the message you left for them. If you so wish, you can add your name to the end of your message, if you don't want to remain anonymous.

    Why Do People Have More Boxes Then Me?

    How many boxes depends on how much reputation you have:

    -499 to -400: 5 red boxes

    -399 to 300: 4 red boxes

    -299 to 200: 3 red boxes

    -199 to 100: 2 red boxes

    -99 to -1: one red box

    0: one blue box

    1-99: one green box

    100-199: 2 green boxes

    200-299: 3 green boxes

    300-399: 4 green boxes

    400-499: 5 green boxes

    etc.

    Hover Text for Reputation

    If you move your mouse over a persons reputation, it will have some text:

    One and below red box(s), -51 and below points: "YourName is infamous around these parts"

    One red box, -50 - -11 points: "YourName can only hope to improve"

    One red box, -10 - -1 points: "YourName has a little shameless behavior in the past"

    One blue/green box, 0 - 9 points: "YourName is of an unknown quantity at this point"

    One green box, 10 - 49 points: "YourName is on a distinguished road"

    One/Two green boxes, 50 - 149 points: "YourName will become famous soon enough"

    Two/Three green boxes, 150 - 249 points: "YourName has a spectacular aura about"

    Three/Four green boxes, 250 - 349 points: "YourName is a jewel in the rough"

    Four/Five green boxes, 350 - 449 points: "YourName is just really nice"

    Five/Six green boxes, 450 - 549 points: "YourName is a glorious beacon of light"

    Six/Seven green boxes, 550 - 649 points: "YourName is a name known to all"

    Seven/Eight/Nine/Ten green boxes, 650 - 999 points: "YourName is a splendid one to behold"

    Eleven/Twelve/Thirteen/Fourteen/Fiften/Sixteen green boxes, 1000 - 1499 points: "YourName has much to be proud of"

    Seventeen/Eighteen/Nineteen/Twenty/Twenty One green boxes, 1500 - 1999 points: "YourName has a brilliant future"

    Twenty Two + green boxes, 2000+ points: "YourName has a reputation beyond repute"

    Notes of Reputation

    1) DO NOT give it out randomly. This will result in a warning, and then an infraction if continued.

    2) ANYTHING that has helped you and/or others is grounds for giving reputation. ANYTHING that is offensive is grounds for taking reputation.

    3) Don't be afraid to give/take reputation! If you must, just don't sign your name, that way if you take reputation from someone, they can't get mad at you because they don't know it is you!

    4) People with disabled reputation can still be repped!

    5) The amount of points given/taken away from people depends on the amount of points that the person giving/taking has. Ergo, if you have a low amount of points, you give a low amount of points.

    6) NO giving reputation doesn't reduce yours, and NO taking reputation doesn't give you more.

    7) DO NOT make threads specifically made to pass around random reputation. Random reputation is a no-no .

    8) Some members don't take reputation into account because of all the random reputation that was going on. Lets try to change this around! Rep for the right reason!

    9) You can't continuously give/take reputation from someone. The forum won't let you. You will get a message box saying that you need to spread some reputation around before you can add to that persons reputation again.

    Conclusion

    If you have any more questions about reputation, don't hesitate to post! Any corrections or things that I have forgot, please post them, I won't get offended .

    You might want to add that making threads specifically for random rep is not a great idea. Been there, done that.

    You also may want to add that reputation is hardly taken into account by any "true" members. A special thanks to those "random reppers".

    You can get more boxes then just 4 at a time, like Naum for example. Check with him to see what the correct rep is that you have to have in order to get the boxes.

    Naum used to have 5 before he disabled his rep. We was "A shining becon of light."

    I am thinking you're correct about how much rep you need for the boxes... Naum has 544.

    Well thats one of the reason why i wrote this tut, i want to bring back reputation, and lay out kind of things to follow by, so that reputation will be respected once again.

    Good job I know I was confused about this reputation thing when I first joined SRL. You might want to change a tiny little thing though...

    Your reputation level is sown as gray, green or red boxes under your name.


    xD I would rep you for that but again I must spread some around before doing that. Might like to add that part? That you can't continuously rep people and how many people you must rep before coming back to the first person you repped/de-repped (Its different on each forum so you might have to ask a mod/admin)
