It's quite simple.

+Rep

-Positive Reputation, often referred to as +rep should be given out when someone makes a good, helpful, and maybe even funny post. Common examples that will appear quite often on this site would be when a member answers another member's question, makes a good thread, or contributes in any way.

-Rep

-Negative Reputation, often referred to as -rep should be given out when someone flames or posts something completely ridiculous, immature, or stupid. Common examples that will appear quite often on this site would be when a member asks a question and another member flames them for not knowing the answer.

Reputation Abuse

-If you find that a member is abusing reputation, please immediately report it to a staff member so it can be taken care of. For those who don't know what this means, a common example of rep abuse is leaving negative reputation for no reason, or asking, usually begging other members to +rep you.

Sign Your Rep

One of the more, annoying things about the Rep System is that when someone +rep/-rep 's you, it doesn't show who it was unless they sign it. By "signing" their rep, I mean leaving, in my case, "Nice post, keep it up. -Luke". Whether it be +Rep or -Rep, we encourage ALL members to sign their rep.

If you have any problems, suggestions, or concerns, please PM either Luke, Nastadon, Niceguy, Shmads, or Z.
