How does the reputation work?

Rep Points are displayed in numbers as well as in the small icons below your user level. (the first 5 bars stand for 100 reputation points each, the following for 200)
Rep Points display the amount of positive or negative reputation you gained, the more the better. With 1000 Rep Points you gain free Honor Member status.

Rep Power is displayed below Rep Points and stands for the amount of Rep Points a user can give to another with one click. The amount depends on the years you have been registered in the forums, the amount of 1000 posts and 1000 reputation points you have.


How do I rate others?

You can rate others by clicking on this icon in a forum thread: , then you have the option to rate positively or negatively.
