    The reputation point system is simply a thing to keep track of the general opinion of members. Since administrators can set the reputation levels of anyone to whatever they want, and any user can easily lower their own reputation level by attempting to steal points from others, this system is a bit flawed, but it usually works well enough.

    A red icon is negative reputation - it lowers your reputation point total.

    A green icon is positive reputation - it raises it (which is a good thing).

    A "black" (grey, really) icon can be either positive or negative, but the person who gave it to you does not have enough reputation power to influence your score at all.

    An administrator will have to answer the last three questions, as the answers to those are only visible from the administrator control panel.

    That depends on who you're getting rep from. Generally, the more rep you have the more rep you're able to give. For example, I have three green icons. If I was to give you rep you would receive more points from me than from someone who has two green icons.

    It's so asinine how many points of reputation attempting to steal gil takes away. It's a freaking game, it shouldn't make me seem like a scoundrel because I tried to steal play money from admins.

    haha i found something interesting to look at,
    if any admin feel not right to post here delete those php tag with codes away.
    but i think is fine since this is 'emu' forum =p
    just this few word of code copied is not a single hair to a game copied. (haha)

    PHP Code:
                if (($i $vbulletin->options['reputationrepeat']) AND ($check['userid'] == $userid))
                {
                    eval(
    standard_error(fetch_error('reputationsameuser'$userinfo['username'])));
                }
                if ((
    $i 1) == $vbulletin->options['maxreputationperday'] AND (($check['dateline'] + 86400) > TIMENOW))
                {
                    eval(
    standard_error(fetch_error('reputationtoomany')));
                } 

    PHP Code:
                    $total += $postreputation['reputation'];
                    if(
    strlen($postreputation['reason']) > 0)
                    {
                        if (
    $postreputation['reputation'] > 0)
                        {
                            
    $posneg 'pos';
                        }
                        else if (
    $postreputation['reputation'] < 0)
                        {
                            
    $posneg 'neg';
                        }
                        else
                        {
                            
    $posneg 'balance';
                        } 
    PHP Code:
                if ($total == 0)
                {
                    
    $reputation $vbphrase['even'];
                }
                else if (
    $total AND $total <= 5)
                {
                    
    $reputation $vbphrase['somewhat_positive'];
                }
                else if (
    $total AND $total <= 15)
                {

    $reputation $vbphrase['very_positive'];
                }
                else if (
    $total 25)
                {
                    
    $reputation $vbphrase['extremely_positive'];
                }
                else if (
    $total AND $total >= -5)
                {
                    
    $reputation $vbphrase['somewhat_negative'];
                }
                else if (
    $total < -AND $total >= -15)
                {

    Well Cosmic, I can tell you you have rep power of 20 since your an admin,
    But I belive you have the power to change people's rep neway, like skinner said, But just giving rep normally you'll have rep power of 20.

    Also mod's and normal members will be able to give so much rep out depending on a few things,

    1. how much rep he/she has. ( It's normaly +1 rep power for every new rep status you have i.e. Distinguest road>famous soon enough>Spectular aura and so on.)
    2. how much post's he/she has done ( Every 1000's gives someone +1 rep power)
    3. How many year's they've been here ( It could be +1 rep power for each year)

    So by those calculations I should have rep power of 5 mabye 6.
    and hayto1 you have rep power of 1, I know.

    Only a admin could reset your rep. Even if all the members gave you rep, it wouldnt take half those red bars away.

    Or if your allowed you could make another account, though ive heard duel accounts are not allowed.

    Hmm, that makes sense. aside from it's few flaws, it's very much like trust: it takes awhile to earn it, and if you lose it, it is extremely hard to win back

    Edit:

    not sure if you know your bible stories, but did God let Adam and Eve back into the garden of Eden just because they were sorry they had tasted the forbidden fruit?
    (I am not very religious, I just thought that was a good analogue.)

    exactly, it's just one more little thing not to stress over, but I do find it very nice to see a new little rep+ message when i pull up my user cp. Especially when skinner expressed his growing desire to fuck me. That was awesome

    Edit: wow, you joined 2 mos. after me and you have five rep bars and 15 times as many posts. you also must be currently near the top of the "most points" list. Bravo!
