Reputation points are a kind of reputation currency you earn while on the board. You earn rep points two ways, first by age (length of time you have been active since you registered) and the second by number of posts. The more you post, the more rep points you get. It's like an eBay-"ish" feedback system for members to rate each other.

Rep points act as a way for others to see how you are thought of on the board (i.e. what your "reputation" is.) When you give someone rep points by voting for them, you can also write a little note explaining why you gave them. Also if someone helps you make an avatar or answers a question for you for example, you can give them rep points for helping, These are subtracted from your reputation total however.

It takes 20 posts to earn 1 point of reputation, and you get 1 rep point every 7 days for age. If you're being obnoxious other people will give you negative rep which will offset the minimal bonus you get for age anyway. The medals for reputation are as follows:

4th Place Medal: 100 Rep Points

3rd Place Medal: 500 Rep Points

2nd Place Medal: 1000 Rep Points

1st Place Medal: 2500 Rep Points

Over time, your reputation number gets bigger and become a symbol of how you contribute to our Heroes community.

Interesting idea, but you say that you get respect by how long you have been on the forum, well what if you are an asshole but has a long time with the forum. do you still get respect?

If I increase someone else's reputation do I lose that many reputation points? Because I went to increase someone's rep & it said I only had so much to spend...

That's correct. If you give a rep point to someone, it deducts it from your overall total.

or you can be like me and hope that your rep. slowly grows. (Emphasis on slowly)

But I am here and fully support our cause. And I will never be rude to another unless my postal power allows me to delay a delinquents letter.

Doesn't that take away from the purpose of rep though? I belong to a figure skating board where we give out rep.......if you're a good person, your rep blocks stay green.......people will know if you've been a butt hole if they see your rep blocks are red.

We can give out up to 10 reputation points per day to other people but that doesn't take away from OUR over all total. Neutral
