The User Infraction system is designed to automate the the management of misbehaving users.
Infractions carry a point total that is awarded to users. When a user reaches pre-determined point levels, the user is given infraction groups. Infraction groups are set up to restrict the permissions of users.
The system can also be configured to institute automatic bans based on points or number of infractions received. This system is now activate.
Rep Power :
Users gain and lose reputation based on how their posts are scored by other forum participants. Users will either give or take away points by approving or disapproving with a post's content. |

This is a GOOD thing!
Now the General Membership has a hand in deciding the Reputation of individual members.
If a member writes a post that you feel is well written, thoughtful, helpful or contributes positively...than just click on those little "scales" at the lower left hand side of the post, and give reputation points. You may also post a comment why you gave these points, like "Great Post!" "Good Reply" "Great Help!" etc...
IF YOU THINK that the post made by the member is a BAD POST (for whatever reason) you can click on the same scales and take away the Rep Points. Again, there is room to post the reason why.
FAILSAFE....Questions have already been presented as to "Why do I get "You must spread some reputation around before giving this member additional points" when trying to give Rep Points.
That is to prevent someone from giving or taking away points too many times to the same member. So if "Joe" doesn't like "Sam"...Joe can't give or take more than one point at a time from Sam. The same way if "Joe" likes "Sally"...Joe can't stack a bunch of good points on her to make her look good!
This will be monitored and anyone abusing or attempting to Stack or Take away Points will lose their privileges.
Now the general population has more of a hand in dealing with those who wish to disrupt the forums by casting their votes with Reputation Points!
Those who disrupt threads by posting off topic comments or by Trolling the Forums can now be dealt with by the General Population! |

As far as i know...
1. After you have 2000+ posts you will be able to see who left you Reps.
2. On your screen, the Rep thing that looks like "Rep Power: 2 " means:the "Rep Power" is your reputation AND your accounts age combined.
IE: BIG Ozzie has been here the longest and is the most active, therefor he has a Rep Power of 10. TGD_02 has been here second longest and also is very active, he has a Rep Power of 9. I have been here for awhile, but not that long. I have a rep power of 3.
The Rep Power also determines how much of the persons Rep you can change. Someone with a high rep power could change someone from a 10 to a 20, while a person with low rep power could only change a 10 to maybe a 12.
3. After your Rep Points surpass 100, you get 2 green boxes, etc, etc.
and thats all i know. |
