Reputation FAQ

What is a purple rep?
I got one yesterday.

 

Not purple. It's grey. Grey rep is neutral. It doesn't add to or subtract from your total. Greys are given either by newbies who don't have enough rep to give rep themselves, or most people if they rep you in General Chat or the Underground it will turn grey. Only people with a significant amount of rep can leave greens in GC or UG. And even then, it won't count for as many points.

 

Thank you for that info, I guess it is a dark grey. LOL thanks.

 

Screen shot of the purple rep please. I don't think they have a purple rep uploaded.

 

sorry I guess I'm color blind. Its' just a dark grey.lol

Thats the green image rep they have uploaded. Purple wouldn't have been one

 

It's actually not even gray in color. Bigger version -> not gray to me.

Why gray/purple/alien(whatever you call it)?
User must have at least 50 posts and over 10 reputation points before they can affect other's reputation. Also, at least 500 reputation points or may be 10 altering power to add greens/reds in "General Chat" folder. Otherwise, it'd be 'gray/purple' rep.

- For every 365 days after you register, your altering power increases by 1
- For every 1,000 posts, your altering power also increases by 1
- For every 100 reputation points that other's give you, your altering power increased by 1

@Buffalo
"UnderGround" has no such limits as GC. Reputation does count in underground, just like other sections.

very informative post. thanks for sharing.

 

I known that if I received 10 infractions then I'll got banned!

But now i have 26 points for reputation.

That means I have banned if received 26 infraction points?

Please help and sorry for my english!

 

Reputation and infractions are completely separate. 10 infraction points will get you banned no matter how much reputation you have. Make sure you read all the rules and all the stickies in each forum. If you follow the rules, you shouldn't have to worry about infractions.
