    So what exactly does this reputation stuff do? Is there somewhere that tells you I searched "reputation" and this is the closest thread I found.

    Click on "user CP" I just made a positive report on your last post, tell me if you got it.

    At the bottom of the page you will see your reputation listings.

    If you want to see more look at the thread below.

    Hm, I just received one as well, from my reply in the same thread...
    "You are dirt" :p
    But it's black, not red/green.
    Does that mean that I'm not good, but not really bad either?? :)

    My understanding is that those in "Black" are from members who's vote doesn't "count" for or against you because their reputation isn't high enough.

    For instance, my reputation was at ten (10) before the vote and now it is at nine (9). My votes don't count either until my reputation goes back to ten (10) or higher.

    Wow, I sure could use some positive rep.:D

    It is really funny, like someone is holding a gun to their heads when they read a comment, that is their way to get back at someone.

    I never even used it on anyone unless I know for a fact that they used it on me then it is on.

    Still surfin' with a cool [10] here, with two black votes..
    But I believe one of them should be green, so that means that I would break even anyway.. :)

    I haven't given anybody negative rep, I think it is a pointless waste of time.

    I just got one saying 'CHUT UP' ...Not only an asswipe but they can't spell either :p :D

    Keep them coming people..Red or Green, I feel honoured anybody would waste 0.2 seconds of their life rating some boring post i wrote. woooooohoooooooo

    Maybe s/he meant "chute up", as in "Don't forget your parachute -- that first step is a doozie"...

    I think the system divides and keeps members at odds with each other, but it has become part of the fabric of Digital Point for some odd reason. We have got a lot of good threads and content as a result of fighting over it and I think Shawn is happy about that result :p :)

    Heh, nice. I gotta remember that one.

    Actually (and for the record, Mella's 'chut up' rep point didn't come from me), "Chut Up" is a term from Donnie Darko. Great movie! Set in the 80's. There is a chinese girl in there who's english has a bad accent. She always says "Chut Up" instead of "Shut up" just because she can't pronounce it correctly. Go to my friends site Chutup.com for some fun (waning, has some offensive content).

    I agree 100%. I've received two (2) negative reputation votes "today" for my comments in this thread. Both were "anonymous".

    For those who say don't worry about negative reputation... keep in mind that when a member's reputation drops below a certain level that members votes, positive or negative, no longer count.

    ResaleBroker, it was not me, my votes do not count anyway, but I would not look for it to change anytime soon.

    Folks will give you positive feedback also if you post without holding back, just hang in there, the more we talk about it the more folks are going to become aware that the system exists.

    Many new members don't even know how to use it. :)
