Reputation Explained

[Warl0rd]

Here is how the vB reputation 'dots' work:

One green dot () is given for every started 100 reputation points.
From 500 points on, one bright green dot () is given for every started 200 reputation points.
One red dot () is given for every started 100 negative reputation points.
From 500 negative points on, one bright red dot () is given for every started 200 negative reputation points
If a user has 0 reputation points, a gray dot () is displayed.
If a user has chosen to turn off reputation in his UserCP, a black dot () is displayed.

Thanks for the explanation warlord. I was wondering how many it would take to get to 2 dots.

[ranger2112]

hmm dont think many will get two dots anytime soon

[Crimson Shadow]

It's not suppose to be an instant raise like it was in the old forums.

[Missionary]

isnt it something like if the person givin the rep has alot of rep points then they give more to the person recieving the rep?

[MAGGIO]

that sounds like a whole lot to get two green dots

[Warl0rd]

you guys always turn it into a rep spreading contest, it always end up meaning nothing more then "i gave so many rep that ppl gave me back aswell"...

reputation should be something build over time, someone doesn't become a reputated person over 2 or 3 weeks...and should be given in special ocasions not just because someone gave you rep that doesn't means you should give back, thats just stupid...

[Crimson Shadow]

I completely agree with that

[Satan666]

so I have 5 boxes, don't really know how. also i only have 418 rep and 5 boxes so something isn't adding up right. (as i should have to have 500 to get 5 boxes)

[Crimson Shadow]

I'm guessing its a glitch...seeing as how you had <100 the day before. And now it shows you have 418?

I highly doubt you've been given 318 rep in one day
