Some of you have noticed the newly implemented reputation system we are testing out on the forum.
Essentially, its a uncontrolled method of helping the forum to have credible and well thought out posts. Users can have their "reputation" increased if other users feel that their post was helpful or informative and presented in a factual way which benefits the community.
In each post you will see a small button that says "Karma" at the top right corner of the post. By clicking on that button, you provide credibility to the post which benefits whoever posted it.
Below your user name you will also see a little blue box. Hovering your mouse over this box tells you the level of reputation that the user has obtained. You can also click "Karma" in your own post and it will tell you how many points you have. As more people give your posts reputation the more blue boxes you will build.
There are no prizes for your reputation level and this isn't a contest. It's is simply a method to award members who regularly contribute to the forum with meaningful and objective posts to get some credit. Best yet... the credit comes from fellow members.
The is a system that allows and promotes good quality posts, so don't abuse it. If it works out, then it will be around for the long haul.
