    I see you have another reputation rating.. However they can't tell you how much you need to the next.. How many points do you have? I would like to know that

    When I click on the scale thing it says I have 6 rep. points... But you would think a blank slate is worst than a promising member...?

    I was thinking you had more than 20.. However I think you start with 10, that's strante if nobody has given you the negative feedback, I think ".... is becoming a worthwhile member is better than yours if you have 6 rep points

    Under userCP you can see what reputation you've received and for what posts. Also moving this to off-topic.

    Well, this is interesting Out of 5 posts that received a rep point, 2 of them are grey. Clcking on their balance I get "Your reputation on this post is even". Is it really possibile that after so many posts 2 got both 1 negative AND 1 positive reputation? That would be the story of my life. they either love me or hate me. HAHAHAHA! (sorry)

    If you are looking at the Reputation summary in your User CP, I believe the color (green, grey, red) tells you the rep of the user who gave you rep. Green is a positive-ranked user, gray is someone at zero, and red is someone in the negative already.

    Rep lets you give feedback to your peers. If someone has a history of being very helpful (or very unhelpful) you can see that via their rep display and decide how much weight to give their post.

    Mods were chosen by 2K from among your peers because we've already proven ourselves to be helpful. I personally asked that our rep display be turned off, but that's not an option. So instead we were given some extra points to start. It's just to avoid confusion ("Why are you quoting the rules to me when I have 2 green dots and you only have 1?!", etc). Plus, we all know that people tasked with enforcing the rules aren't automatically popular--just look at police officers.

    It honestly isn't a big deal. We've already been approved by the people who's opinion matters the most here--the people who own and run this forum. And our performance is regularly reviewed by those same people. But we do enjoy getting comments (both positive and negative) via the rep system. Feedback is always welcome!

    Liz made it known elsewhere, they are not planning to tell anyone how many points are needed for each threshold.
