Rep(utation) Guide
Hello, I am Zues8844, yes, the one and same from the Outspark Forums, and I'm bringing over a few of my guides to help out. Without further ado, my rep guide.
What is "Rep?" Many users of the Fiesta forums have been wondering exactly what "Rep" is. Now, most of you might know what it is, so don't post comments like "Oh come on, what kind of moron doesn't know what Rep is?", or likewise. Rep stands for reputation. How do you use this so called "Rep?" How you add it is simple. Under a person's avatar (picture thing under their name), are 3 little icons. The first is a light, which shows if the person is online or offline. The second is the REPUTATION button, and the last is the warning button, used to send a PM (Private Message) to a GM if a certain post is flammatory, inappropriate, etc. By clicking on the reputation button, you have a choice of approving or disapproving of someone's posts. You can also type in a short reason why you approve/disapprove. Repping someone shows that you think their idea/comment is helpful. Personally, I have never disapproved of anyone's posts, I just let the mods take care of it. What does adding "Rep" do? Once you get enough rep, the little green box under your avatar (see line 4) may grow to 2 boxes, then 3, and so on, and demonstrated by our mods. Rep doesn't give you special privileges, it basically shows how helpful you are. Negative rep can happen, but it doesn't mean the person isn't trustworthy. It means that they haven't recieved any rep yet and some person may have disapproved of one of their posts for some reason. That is basically all there is to rep. The mods and other people have lots of boxes, what's up with that? The green box turns to 2 when you reach 100 rep. You gain another at 200. The gray boxes that show up when you click "Options" are rep that has been given, but may not count because the one who gave it to you doesn't have a high enough post count, and therefore may be a rep spammer that a hacker made to seem trustworthy. After you gain 5 boxes of rep, you start getting shinier, brighter boxes of rep instead. After getting 500 rep, you must get up to 700 to get another box, and then again 200 to the next one. What are the requirements for using "Rep?" Your +rep doesn't count towards people unless you have around ~20 posts, so don't bother repping til you get that much. Also, don't spam stuff just to get your posts up, because then people will neg-rep YOU. What happens if I spam "Rep?" Also, there is a set amount of people you can rep each day, overreping will cause you to not be able to pass on rep, positive or negative, for 24 hours. Also, the moderators can see how much you have been repping, and spam repping can get you banned. Also, you can only rep again after repping (positive or negative) 5 other people. *How much rep you can give someone depends on how much rep you have (I think). My rep was worth 13 to someone with 0 rep at the time.* If you feel that this guide has helped, please feel free to try, on your own, exactly how the +rep button works ^.^ ***WARNING*** Quote:

Rep isn't specific to just FiestaFan. Zues posts a lot on the official Outspark forums.
At any rate, it's not fair to judge people by the amount of posts they have. Some people are very knowledgable and have very few posts. |

I would agree, but I just had to put that out....just to let you know, I wanted zeus to answer not yooooooo(JK>JK>JK>JK) |
