Thumbs Up Rating Question

[GrnMtnGrwr]

Why is it that sometimes you get rep, and sometimes you don't?

I tried to understand the same question...

If a member give you 4 points of rep + trough the normal ''scale'' system,when he give you a green thumb you gain 1 point,because the ''thumbs system'' is setted on 1\4 of the other system.

If this user give you less of 4 points in the ''scale''system,when he give a green thumb you gain nothing,no points.

So...only users with a good experience and\or points leave you points with only the ''thumbs system''

Hope it helps
ps:sorry if I wrote something wrong...I'm right on high now

Am I the only person that pays no mind to "rep" points? Could care less if someone agrees or disagrees with what I say on here, but maybe that's just me. Seems like it's more an ego thing than serve a useful purpose

And I'm going to get negative reps for that post too no doubt LOL

Probably not, but the rep system is a part of this forum, and just by doing other things I see it. I noticed a discrepancy, and it made me wonder.

Yeah no worries Mtn, I just never understood what the big deal with rep was. It's funny too because a certain poster that I will not name has tons of negative reps and yet he/she is one of the most popular posters on here no figure that one out LOL

I think I understand now, thanks noreason. But I still don't think the thumbs up or down should show up as neg or positive rep it causes too many fights on here....

It's not my decision.However new member and members with low exp. level don't give neg. rep. trough ''thumbs system''.
Older and experienced member are not trolls and don't give neg. rep. if you don't deserve it...I hope

I'm trying to say it's not so important all these stuff IMO...if you're a good fella your rep. will increase however!

Aaaa... Now I get it! That's why I got Reps from few people saying: "Helpful Anwser Positive Rating"... and it seemed so strange to me that so many members would type the EXACT Rep message


Thanks for the explanation noreason
