BTW I am just wondering how do people get a green rep Is that based on the number of posts you make or since how long you have been a member or just being POPULAR among the members. What exactly is the process? It is really cool to see the green squares lined up...
Its not the quantity of posts, its the quality of posts. If you are being helpful to other members is some way or if someone likes your post or agrees with it they leave green rep for you.
And what propotion (positive vs negative feedback) should it be to receive red rep? All these talks about the rep makes me afraid of posting at all... Thanks, Ann
Don't worry about red rep, you have to do something pretty bad to get it anyway, as long as you keep any criticism constructive and don't act like an ass you'll be fine.
