Can someone let me know how the this red and green things work. I get around 7 positive feedback but still I am in red ?????
Here's a little Rep 101 on how to get green and not get red, from a pro that's done almost every thing wrong, and look where he's at!! 1. When you get red, DON'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT IT!!! Unless you want it!!! 2. Don't make a post about making big bucks when you're doing fraud. We can find out about it, fast. You'll be in da red before you can say the word fraud!! 3. Is there a topic you know a lot about? When every some one has a question in that area, help them. Some times you might get a green. Just don't help people only to get da green! A lot of newbies for example don't even know about the rep stuff, and newbies need I think 50 rep points before they can even give out rep! As a bonus you'll generate more threads that have signature back-links to your site, generateing some visitors and leting search engines find you! 4. If you see a thread about some one who's doing fraud, join in and fame them, bash them, cream them, crucify them...you get the idea!!! Some one who does fraud is never right. Every one will agree with you except the person who did the fraud, or is on the side of the fraud freak!! 5. Like to have fun and just chat?? Live down here in the Off Topic boards. Have fun, make people laugh, just don't try to be a wacko, or you'll be knocked down to red. Only ONE person has ever became a wacko and lived to tell the tail and be in the green! 6. Don't post nasty images, lots of ahem... bouncing smilies, (), 1337 talk, anything that would drive normal humans insane, unless you are the official wacko that knows how to do it right....and get green for it!!! 7. Try not to talk politics!!!! People on your side will give you green, the other side will give you red! Come election day, vote for the Wacko for President!! (Say that, and you'll be bombed with red!) 8. Don't *bump* threads!!! 9. Post like you got English, spelling, grammar....skills. Unless you're the wacko and have learned the da, iz, pze, waz...language! Do all that, and you'll be bombed with green, like this... The current number is 1,880 and I can't remember when I last got red!! er, could some one fix that!!! Oh...expose Google on seven and a half pages of SPAM and you'll be BOMBED with green...as that image shows!!!
Excellent points, but I do not believe that you have to have a certain amount of rep before you can give it to others. I do think you do have to have at least 50 posts, though. Also, I'd just like to add that giving red rep to someone else costs you 1 point of your own rep.
I saw I am in red (the square button just under "Posts"), but I can see I am green again ..Thanks guys. Also Critic where can I see my reputation points?
