What is Rep Power
Reputation Points
Reputation are the green boxes that come up beside your name. The more green boxes the more reputation points that user has received.
How do you get Reputation Power?
you get one point for every 100 post you do. Also others can give you reputation points. When you have 100 points that then is equal to 1 reputation power. So the more points the more power.
What you can do with them?
If you like what a member has posted you can give them reputation and this then will help their reputation grow.
Some members now have rep power of 1 and others have rep power all the way up to 226 or more! Which means they can give 226 reputation points.
Also, grey/black box is neutral
is shown by people who give reputation comments that elect not to show reputation, and/or have 0 reputation power.
We do not have negative rep enabled on MiniMins, you can only give positive rep
You can give people reputation points by clicking the
icon
it is at the bottom left hand corner under Avatar.
You can see the comments left for you in UserCP, but not the people who have left them for you.
This is how it usually works as explained by KD.:thankyou:
"If a person with a rep power of 10 approves one of your messages, it gives you 10 reputation points. If a newbie has no rep power and they approve your post, then you won't get any points from them (but it's kind of them anyway
)
Your rep power depends on a number of things including how many posts you have made, how long you have been a member and how many reputation points you have.
The quickest way of upping your rep power, is to post loads and approve messages of people with high rep power, so that maybe they will reciprocate. In other words grovel
At the end of the day…it's just a bit of fun. Nothing to take too seriously.
Right....off to do some grovelling

Preview The Thanks Button!
The 'Thanks' button is found on the bottom right of other members posts to give 'Thanks' if you like what they have posted. It will appear in a little box under their post. To read it click on 'Show me' and it drops down and you can see the list of people who have given 'Thanks'.
If you hit the 'Show me' again it will close the box.
The 'Thanks' option is in addition to giving rep, but as you have to spread your rep around and in the meantime a post might come up that you want to acknowledge.
You have to have 50 posts to avail of this 'Thanks' system.
Posts more than three days old can no longer receive 'Thanks' but they can still receive reputation.
You will not find a 'Thanks' button on your own posts as you cannot give 'Thanks' to yourself.:thankyou:
