Zero rep?

So the new system is such that some users can give rep of zero value? I have a few reps that gave me nothing.

and 30 other users is a lot before being able to rep them again! some people consistently give good advice. they get penalized by that for sure.

if you look in the stickies there is a section that shows you how rep is calculated

Maybe it depends on where the rep was added, yeah? For instance, reps added to you for a post in Toke n Talk probably shouldn't really add anything to your points.

Just a thought.

(coughcough) It's getting God damned smoky. (Cali fires)

this no points is happening to me also and all my threads or posts are in the same correct sections. noobie , cabinets, plant problems ...... ect. the last one was this morning, i had 40 yesterday, buddy gave me one this morning and it`s still 40. and there are others. not a big deal just thought you should know about it.

yeah, i understand more rep = more rep, but it seems there should be a minimum of 1 point. it's not like i'm going to go create a user name to give myself one rep point.

I will be looking into reputation system this week. I agree it needs to be reworked.

Crazy, Ive been noticing the same thing but didnt think too much of it since I wasnt sure how it calculated. I have noticed some get 0 points then rep from say a mod is lots of points.

Thanks abudsmoker for the stickie info!

Seems to me points are used to decide how much faith to put into someone you don't knows advice/recommendation. It's always nice to think ones time spent doling out free advice is worthwhile and with rep points, it's like an acknowledgment that JoeDoe knows that what he's telling you to do will/should work.

Eactly! When Im looking for info, I take advice more seriously when it comes from someone with a lot of rep. Advice from people with little rep is appreciated but I still have to do more research before I go with noob advice.

Also, I think the rep point system is essential to those here helping others, the thought of a few rep points makes you go the extra mile by posting usefull links, pics, etc. The best advice seems to be in the details and I believe the rep system is a great incentive for that more in depth advice.


Mr.Fishy...........only two points? Damn that kinda sucks, I thought it would be more than that by now, like 5 at least. Oh well i guess its the thought that counts.

I'm not sure what you mean? Homepage says 134? Guess you're talking about the + marks?
In my case, I've been messin' w/growin' since the late 60's and when I stumbled onto RIU, it was just nice to be somewhere where I knew most of the answers, cuz' I think deep down, we all like to be helpful and appreciated.

more zero reps for me ...

And barely at that, eh?

Above everyone's post there is a block of "stuff" on each side of the dialog box (where their post is). Upper left, in the bar, you'll see a set of balance scales. Click that.

Where can I view a breakdown of my rep points? And where is the sticky about how reputation works?

All I see is like three different bars with weird acronyms and values that I don't understand. Which bar is most important? :-!

Here is the rep info, but I still don't really get it. As far as I know none of it is really important, expect possibly rep.
