How does one add or remove reputation points?

Peter1469

You can add to reputation by hitting the star button below the message.

Non-Mods can't negative rep because of past abuse of that feature by children.

The amount of rep (or neg rep in the case of Mods) depends upon your Rep Power. The more rep power, the more powerful the rep (or neg rep).

Mods have it. I have maybe used it once in the last year. Rather than a warning- a neg rep with a message asking a member for self-correction. In place of a public warning.

Howey, neg rep is a function of using that little star thing at the bottom where the Thanks function is. For the members clicking that (before using the Thanks function) gives that member the opportunity to Approve and add a comment. For the mods, we can both Approve or Disapprove and add a comment. If any of us were neg repping you, you would see your Rep numbers dwindling rapidly.

/Edit - I think it also affects Karma.

GrassrootsConservative did you know that you are the only person to ever give me a negative rep?

Peter, I have seen that too and wondered if that was Neg Repping. Therefore, if Howey did not fully know whether it was doing that or not and I and perhaps others had questions about it, how would you expect for him to have to apologize for something that was not made clear by you or the other mods?

We used to have negative repping but there are too many children on this board and it turned into a popularity contest thing. Some folks even went as far as just repping each other daily to build theirs up so the whole system really isn't attention worthy, it's just a toy basically.

How people get negative repped now is beyond me but it's funny how the forum cretins have achieved a massive negative rep.

I think maybe something needs to be tweaked. I've repped people from time to time. I repped someone earlier, and noticed that my repping was worth 0 points. Granted, I don't have a lot of rep points, but what's the incentive for me to rep someone, if it gives them nothing?

Yes. I've learned how to give reps out and have been handing them out like Oprah gives out Pontiacs And learned that @Peter1469 (http://thepoliticalforums.com/member.php?u=10) didn't really take rep points from me, he lied and just made me think he did. Oh, I was once again reminded who the forum trolls are.. @GrassrootsConservative (http://thepoliticalforums.com/member.php?u=478), @MisterVeritis (http://thepoliticalforums.com/member.php?u=1287), @Mister D (http://thepoliticalforums.com/member.php?u=4), and @Cthulhu (http://thepoliticalforums.com/member.php?u=872).

None of those people are statists like you. Imagine that. You're partisan.

You had to provide Howey with an antidote for his obliviousness in this thread to get the Howey Troll Mention Of The Day award. Read the thread. He was humiliated.

Oh! Well unlike Howey's rewards, reps must be earned.

Although it looks like you're making a way for yourself. Not sure how much of that is from Green Arrow and his influence, but you should be happy either way. Some members your seniors do not have that much rep yet.
