how exactly do the banners under the avatars work? you know like the ones that say power user or admin, how do you get those?

REP my friend.....

your rank is based on a point system which is attained when ''tipping the scales'' at the top of a worthy post.


Supporter = Made a donation

# Skilled = 100 Rep
# Power User = 400 Rep
# Seven Pro = 600 Rep
# Seven Guru = 1000 Rep

wait so 100 people have to give you rep just to get to skilled status?? oh and +rep for the answer lol

no, sorry let me be a little clearer...

you would need 100 points to reach ''skilled'' but 100 ppl do not have to rep you to attain this..
1 member does not represent 1 rep point (in most cases)

as your post count increases your ''rep power'' will rise, this is what you give to others when you ''tip their scales''

a member with a ''rep power'' of 40 could ''tip'' a worthy post you wrote & you would instantly have 40 points...

And how do you tip a member? Is it the Rate Thread option when you reply?

 

[Jacee]

At the top (on right hand side) is a little scale across from the member's name. You click on that scale to give the member rep/points.

 

[mickey megabyte]

no, you use the scales (that don't appear in the chillout part of the forum)...

A clarification: some time ago the system was changed so that the rep one user can give was limited to 25 points due to the misuse of rep system. For example, my rep power is at the moment 60 points but if I rep you, you only got 25 points.

TDK08, you seem to be a Power User with less than half of the rep points it normally takes, maybe you have had a couple of really good posts and you were promoted early? Your next promotion would be to Seven Pro when you get 600 rep points, as told here.

Or in the News section...

Its also possible that he was gifted his current rank by John.. I was gifted the Power User rank when I joined Vista Forums... RHIP...

 

[Perrybucsdad]

Thanks everyone. I'd give some points to you all, but I don't see the scales.

 

[mickey megabyte]

no scales in the chillout room, nor news section...

 

[Dinesh]

The scales are not available in chillout and news section.

 

[Perrybucsdad]

Is there a way to see how many Rep's you were given by someone and how many you gave someone?

 

[mickey megabyte]

yes - have a look at your user control panel...

Yes... and no.

The list Latest Reputation Received itself shows only if the rep given was positive or negative and your total rep.

You can see who has given you rep, but if you want to know how many rep points he's given, you have to go to that users profile and see what his rep power. If rep power is 25 or more, you got 25 points because of that newly added rep limit I mentioned earlier.

You can't see others rep power, only your own. You can see their received rep though.

That's true, I was wrong. So basically you have no way to know how many points somebody gave you, other than do the math to calculate his / her rep power based on the guidelines.

Sorry.

Kari

 

[Perrybucsdad]

Thanks......Where do I find the guidelines?

Also, where on the CP do I find my rep power? I must be missing it as I don't see it.

EDIT: Never mind... I see it. Mine is only 2... that's really weak!
