Ok, this forum works a little differently than the other one. When you reach 500 posts, a minimal user reputation (10 pts.), and a certain amount of days registered, you are moved to a new user group. The new user group has better permissions and more perks. The perks for now are, a bigger pm box (twice as big), ability to add an avatar, upload a picture to your profile, and the ability to change your user title.

Enjoy!

Oh mucho fun *goes to play* :D

edit: There are currently no public usergroups available for you to join.

Well, it's not for moderators :lol: It's for regular registered users ;) A registered user automatically gets moved to a new, improved group when they meet certain criteria.

I'm still playing with the features, I'll add more soon ;)

*feels all left out* :lol:

lol I was wondering about that. I was looking around and it didn't want to work... us mods can probably do most of that stuff anyway though :P

hmmm, when I selected 'edit profile picture' it said:

Marianne, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.
awwwwwww :(

hmmm, when I selected 'edit profile picture' it said:


awwwwwww :(
Lemme see what I can do...try again in the meantime, I'm working on it :lol:

hehe it's o.k., I dunno what pic to post there anyway, there's no rush.

Did you try it again? I changed the settings. Mods also have bigger avatar file sizes, and I think a 30 pm box.

Ive put in a profile piccy yay! My new robbie williams calendar hehe

*Run's off to play with the new features.*

So does this mean all the people under 500 posts with avatar's now can't change them until they get to 500? I was hoping you wouldn't just let everyone have one. It ruins all the need to work.

So now are the avatar sizes even smaller? Are we limited to 2.9KB and a tiny 50X50 image?

I don't mean to be rude Loren, but 500 posts I hardly call work. Try doubling that :P

... especially with the way some new people post :P

This is so neat! Do stars still go away when you change your title? *will try*

edit: yup, they do :P

... especially with the way some new people post :P


No kidding :P

Hey Lissa, will it be possible to get the stars back? I don't think I've had stars in easily 2 years lol...

Yeah, that's what it means :D

I don't mean to be rude Loren, but 500 posts I hardly call work. Try doubling that :P
Well, 0 posts is much easier than 500 and 500 easier than 1000.

So now are the avatar sizes even smaller? Are we limited to 2.9KB and a tiny 50X50 image?
Actually, it's a 75 x 75 image.

Oh, the thing is weird. It always says I'm limited to whatever the size and deminsions of my current avatar is. It lets me use other deminsion but it says I'm limited to these.

It's because you don't meet the minimum criteria for the new usergroup :stickout:

I don't? I can change my title though, and I thought that was part of the group. So what exactly is the criteria?
500 posts (done)
a minimal user reputation (what is it, I'm a unknow quantity)
a certain amount of days registered (I probably meet it but how many?)

It's 10 points for your user reputation :D

Oh, how can you tell how many you have?

ok im lost :P you get a certain amount of something you get more perks and stuff? Is that it? What do you need to change your title, and dont want it to stay as "Truly moo-m00" :lol:

Oh, how can you tell how many you have?


Go to User CP and it is on that page.

ok im lost :P you get a certain amount of something you get more perks and stuff? Is that it? What do you need to change your title, and dont want it to stay as "Truly moo-m00" :lol:
You can change your title anytime you want, because you're in the special group ;)

So, when someone disapproves your post, you lose 10 points?

You can change your title anytime you want, because you're in the special group ;)


oh, well is there a specific place where you change it? lol I cannot find it. Sorry for being so much trouble :( I'm slow when it comes to all this fancy forum stuff....and also my account had problems with the title when I reached 1000 posts, I couldnt change it then either :( if it's too much trouble right now that's ok

*looks around very confussed*

ok... so how many different user groups are they? I think (once you have got them all done) you should post all of them and tell us what you get...like

if you are in this user group you get blah blah blah...

Another question:

so we loose points say if a Mod edits our post because they think we did something wrong? Well that wouldn't be totally fair because some new people might still not understand the rules all the way... even though I am not totally new I even do not understand the rules all the way *pats head*

Go to edit your profile and it's in there.

It should be in user cp/edit profile

Ooooh... fun!

Why is my title "icon"? This is the first time my title changed for like, 2 years lol. I like it :P

So, when someone disapproves your post, you lose 10 points?
I'm not sure exactly how many are given or taken away. It depends on how many points you have. The more points you have, the more you can give and take away from people.

Ooooh... fun!

Why is my title "icon"? This is the first time my title changed for like, 2 years lol. I like it :P
It's "icon" now, instead of "choose your title" because you can't necessarily choose your own title when you've reached 500 posts, you have to have 10 reputation points and be registered for at least 30 days =)

ok... how can we see how many posts we have?

and do we get reputation from thoes little boxes with the check and x marks on them? If that is how you get reputation it could turn bad because people could start asking others for a good reputation mark...

*still very confussed*

Yes that is how rep changes. Your number of posts is right about your post like I have 796.

Reputation chart:

User is infamous around these parts (a negative amount of points)
User can only hope to improve
User has a little shameless behaviour in the past
User is an unknown quantity at this point (no points)
User is on a distinguished road
User will become famous soon enough
User has a spectacular aura about
User is a jewel in the rough
User is just really nice
User is a glorious beacon of light
User is a name known to all
User is a splendid one to behold
User has much to be proud of
User has a brilliant future
User has a reputation beyond repute (2000 points)

so...hmmm... have you already inserted this into the site? So soon I guess some people will be poping up with new names :)... and you title can ONLY change if someone gives you a good rep right?

Right :D You have no points, so your rep title hasn't changed at all, it only says "westernrider" when you mouse over it.

Did you try it again? I changed the settings. Mods also have bigger avatar file sizes, and I think a 30 pm box.
NOW we're talking :D

Ahhh man! the mods get nice little picture places in there profiles... heh... I probably will never really get a reputation point :(...lol... I am not "hated" but I not really well known either :|... *shrug* I guess I will have to stay with my title

oh and... so if say I clicked on someones name and gave them a good reputation... I would be helping them right? not hurting them...cause I know a lot of people that are really helpful!

wow I was confused for a second there but I think I get it now, so you're rep goes up as people decide it? that's cool hehe

Ahhh man! the mods get nice little picture places in there profiles...

We're just speshul' like that :buckt:

i think i have a lot of work to do before being in that group. :D


wow I was confused for a second there but I think I get it now, so you're rep goes up as people decide it? that's cool hehe

it also can go down, i was on a distingushed road once and i lost some rep. points, i think it was cuz i said i would like Québec separates from Canada. someone didn't liked it. :(

edit: i'm back on a distingushed road! someone else liked one of my post. :)

A little confusion here. The new user group things? Does one automaticly flow into them or is it something one has to activate?

yep you automatically "flow" into them :P but you have to have the points

A little confusion here. The new user group things? Does one automaticly flow into them or is it something one has to activate?
I beleive it is an auto flow.

Let me see...

Yep, your in. People who are in are listed under Registered2 under forum leaders. You can click on forum leaders at the bottom of the main page to see for yourself. It's pretty cool.

*feels power* :lol:

I belong to something haha :D What's registered2 anywho? i dont care as long as im in it hahaha. Next on the agenda...RULE THE LEIA FORUM!!! :lol:


mwahahahahaha *cough* hahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaa

ACK! I was so happy... someone gave me reputation points... and I had a blue circle but now I have -6! it is truly a crule world... I will just have to face it...

awww *pats head*


poor thing :(


It's ok your points will boost up sooner or later. I mean it's only started today

Truly, it's not that easy to get 500 posts. For example, I've been at an RPG site for almost a half a year, and am a quite frequent user, and I only have about 300. I've just made it to Little Leauge here, and I was like yay!

Lol, that's what I have to say...I think it is kind of work, so I'd have to go with Loren.

awww *pats head*


poor thing :(

<offtopic> I love you avatar Cherchezlafemme... wow that was a hard word to type :)... it is a very nice avatar... at least it isn't hidding like mine :buckt: </offtopic>

I think the reputation thing was a very good idea... I just hope it doesn't turn into one of thoes things were people start posting forums just saying "PLEASE WILL YOU GIVE ME REPUTATION!" ...that would be bad :eek:

awww thanks :D

I definately know this forum and some wandering lost newb will post a thread "If you give me Reps I'll..........." just wait and see. One day a newb is bound to do that. :lol:

awww thanks :D

ACK! I was so happy... someone gave me reputation points... and I had a blue circle but now I have -6! it is truly a crule world... I will just have to face it...
....Somebody must not like you.......and I think somebody might like me. I have 7 points! YIPEE! I'm not quite sure HOW I got them I just kinda did. It says I got them in the Upgraded Forum thread. .....hmmmm......

Anyway, hope you get your points back up! .......maybe I'll help......

......Yeah. It was a good idea on the rep thing. Just hope you don't get mean people who would run around giving everyone a bad rep.

i wonder when someone will ask to be a mod again? Like Pixiegurl or whatever her name is. I thought that was quite amusing. I mean we dont even know her why should we let her be a mod? :lol:
</offtopic>


Will there be any speshul sections for us speshul people? lol :lol:

<offtopic>I know... I had this site were you could join and stuff and this odd person emailed me saying I WILL ONLY JOIN YOUR SITE IF YOU LET ME RUN IT... I was like wha...? it was very odd...</offtopic>

Gosh theres so much new stuff to learn and understand, im gonna read everything 100 times so i can answer the 103875930 threads that are bound to pop up about stuff lol

can i be a mod? :D

Heck no.

ummmm... yeah... I think you should talk to lissa about that...*cough* I wonder what she would say :eek:

I think becoming a moderator is like becoming a general. It's not something granted so easily.

i was just joking, i don't expect to be a mod. i know that i'm not posting here long enough.

I know :) I was just commenting on how it is.

:) Thumbs up for Lissa!!!!!

Now, if only I could figure out how to post stuff so good people would give me an up on my rep. I got nocked from 7 points to -3 by 1 person.

Neptune, can I have so advice on how you do it?

Who cares about reputation? It's NOT a big deal!

The more you moan about it the more people are gonna knock you down, people are evil...its how it works lol

that's nice to know viki :P really nice lol

Anywho that's the way the cookie crumbles, you get your ups and downs. As long as you are more into the forum and participate ;) it's pretty much what matters. Like there's a lot of people who come here, never post, and ask for stuff. Who appreciates that? What's important is that you stay not some points, same thing with posts.

*nods head* I was really worried when I first heard it too... but then I realized I was being stupid... you can not do anything about it... it id other people who are giving it to you and the more you complane about it the more people dislike you... so just be your normal self and forget about the rep points... what is gonna happen in gonna happen.

Have you had a chance to read it all through, because I was wondergin what the reputation thing is, how it workd etc...?

Thanks Anzrew

you need to read from the beggining... do not just post when you have not even read it!...lol... the first 3 or so pages describe it all.

Now, if only I could figure out how to post stuff so good people would give me an up on my rep. I got nocked from 7 points to -3 by 1 person.

Neptune, can I have so advice on how you do it?
My advice is to be a little nicer to people. It seems you're quite irritated a lot of the time, and people don't like that. The same person can't mark you more than a small amount of times, so the reputation thing is really about how the whole forum feels about a person, not just one person.

Ok what are the meanings of the blue and yellow dots on the rep thing? Decorations? Or something else because I'm confused...sorry for the dumb questions :(

I think it is blue if you have a positive or mabey a rep of over 5 and if you have anything below that it is yellow. So I think yellow means you have a low rep and blue means you have a good rep.

well someone commented "Thanks for your help" and it's a yellow rep :( were they being sarcastic or something if bleu is a "good" rep? sorry im just so confused lol

i would like to say that i read some of people's comments in my love advice topic through my mail box cuz i recieve an email each time people replies in a topic that i posted in and one day i can decide to give bad reputation to those that i don't like their comments.

Now that I don't understand. I get the little things that are blue and yellow next to your name but I don't get that. The way I have understood it so far is yellow does nothing to your rep blue improves it and red hurts it, but that is something Lissa needs to answer.

Neptune, can I have so advice on how you do it?

Erm... do it? I don't do anything different from anyone else.

How to do it: Be nice and helpful to people. There's really nothing else you can actually do, anyways. But, of course, we all should've been being nice and helpful to people anyways, the reputation thing is just a nice bonus.

well someone commented "Thanks for your help" and it's a yellow rep :( were they being sarcastic or something if bleu is a "good" rep? sorry im just so confused lol


I'm confused too because you can only either agree or disagree you can't be neutral so how come i get yellow circles and blue circles..

stop the insanity!

i think it's for decoration because i have "blue, yellow, blue, yellow, etc..."

blue= you have a rep over 0

yellow= you have a rep of 0 or lower

you can see what your rep is by finding s post that you have posted and click on the little check mark thingy and it will tell you your rep :)

i think it's for decoration because i have "blue, yellow, blue, yellow, etc..."

Yeah, I think the colors just alternate, because I have blue/yellow/blue/yellow too.

i think it's for decoration because i have "blue, yellow, blue, yellow, etc..."


nooo it is because your rep is always changing... you start out with 0 rep points... and that means you start with a yellow dot... then someone thinks your post was helpful and they say I will give them a good rep for that... and it adds points... now you have a blue dot... then someone doesn't like your post and depending how many rep points you already have if they give you a bad rep it might put you back to 0 or even lower...now you have a yellow dot again...

but my points have only gone up, I think Lissa is the only one who can explain for us lol

I don't mine is yellow, yellow, blue, red, yellow. I think since somehow your rep altering power changes. I think that the yellows just only slightly change your rep because the person didn't have much power, but the reds and blues change you rep more better or worse, because I had 7 points someone gave me a yellow and I still had 7 points so I think the yellows are spare, or mabey they are if someone is too lazy to click a button (good or bad). :)

We're talking about in your user panel on the main page under Last Rep Recived not the little thing by your total number of posts.

Then maybe it's blue is good, yellow is neutral, and red is bad. Cuz I have one blue and one yellow, and I have a 10 rating....So that might be it.

Mine is blue, yellow, yellow, blue, blue. That doesn't look like it's supposed to be aesthetic to me. Maybe it's the level of the people who gave them to you?

I was thinking what Neptune thinks.

mabey, but how do you give a neutral rating?

Well neutral would mean your giving the person 0 points since it is in the middle. So what's the point of that?

You can only say, "I approve" or "I disapprove". I'm stumped :lol:

I wish people would leave comments when they approve or dissaprove, because you never really know why unless that someone tells you.

now I am very confussed... were do we go to see were our last rep was received?

Click Quick Links and then User Control Panel and it's near the page bottom

I wish people would leave comments when they approve or dissaprove, because you never really know why unless that someone tells you.

I know. I always try to leave a comment even if it's something generic like Thank you.

Yes! I agree. I'm normally thinking, "Thanks, but I have no idea why you did that." I'm not saying it isn't nice for the thought. I'm just curious about these things.

ohhh... now I get it... man... some people really do not like me!

"can you stop posting ever 3 minutes?"

that is what someone said... I like to talk... 0_0 I hope I havent been bothering people! that isn't very nice... :( I always try to leave comments like if I was that person I would say... please do not post so much... or something like that...

mabey the red is from someone important and it is bad

the yellow is also bad but it is from someone not important... like someone who is not a mod... and the blue is something good from anyone... ummmI do not know! I am basicly saying the same things all of you have been saying *shrug*

One of my yellows does have a comment, but it's a nice comment. Unless they were being sarcastic.
I think I'll leave the subject alone for now :lol: I don't feel any closer to knowing.

I do not know if the yellows are bad... because I got a yellow and there seemed no reason I got it... it was weird... the higher the rep points the better right...

Yes, the hired the better.

I have a yellow with a good comment so I think they are still good. I suppose we could test and find out if good comments actualy can come yellow.

Let's see if what I said to Neptune is Yellow or Blue.

Um... it was yellow... and no points added... whoever...

Edit: Oh, I guess it was you, Loren :lol:

You know... I think maybe I remember it being said that you only have a certain ammount a day, and you can't give more than one to a single person in a row. Maybe yellow IS neutral. Not giving any points, but still showing that one was given to you.

i've had yellow and blue with good comments and a RED with no comments..speak up man!! show yourself..lol

maybe this is all just to keep us thinking...let me fire up my neuron...

Mabey, I know you can't give 2 to the same person in a row.

*mind boggles*

i've had yellow and blue with good comments and a RED with no comments..speak up man!! show yourself..lol

maybe this is all just to keep us thinking...let me fire up my neuron...
The yellow or blue next to the comment or rating in your user cp just shows the other person's level I think...

So I'm stuck with this av? But I feel guilty for it... I didn't earn it...
heh....

So it doesn't have to do with good or bad?

I had a red dot that pulled me down 10 points so I think it has to do with good and bad.

So it doesn't have to do with good or bad?
Nope.

OH ok :D Thankies!!!

Ummmmm what else confuses me? hmmmmmmmmmmmm nope nothing else. oh yea! What happens when ummmm............nope I don't have any more annoying troublesome questions to ask :D

I had a red dot that pulled me down 10 points so I think it has to do with good and bad.


me too, i got a red dot today and went down 10.

wow this is confusing

I'm rather confused on the reputation thing...

I have 4 reputation things. two are blue, two are yellow. I viewed the particular posts, and when you click the reputation button on that post, it says "Your reputation on this post is [Positive/Even]"- on the blue ones it's positive, on the yellow it's even. does that mean that multiple people did those posts and their votes evened out (one said positive the other negative) or something? because on the two even ones it seems like posts that nobody would have done it on lol. but it does seem that each positive one gives you 10, because when I got my most recent one (which says my reputation for that post is positive) mine went up by 10.

this is so confusing :P

Wait..can only mods have profile pictures? Because I think I have the ability to have one too. I have to check though, hmm.

Lol...I thought this was funny, we have 3 pages, maybe more? On little red, yellow, and blue dots.

Hehe...all this talk about dots and points, funny how it is confusing. :rolleyes:

Ohhh... this forum is being updated at the speed of light :) .

PS: I like the quick reply, makes things so much easier...

Wonderfull! :D

*enjoys bigger PM box*
Ahhh, no more saving my special PM's as word documents! :lol:

Nice job on the new upgrades. =)

Lol...I thought this was funny, we have 3 pages, maybe more? On little red, yellow, and blue dots.

Hehe...all this talk about dots and points, funny how it is confusing. :rolleyes:
Just wait until the first person gets a different colored dot other than blue or yellow hehe ;) Then the fur will fly :lol:

Wait..can only mods have profile pictures? Because I think I have the ability to have one too. I have to check though, hmm.
Nope, once you get moved to a better group, you can have one too ;) Mods have a bigger picture though :lol:

Just wait until the first person gets a different colored dot other than blue or yellow hehe ;) Then the fur will fly :lol:
You can? Great even more stuff to worry about. :confusion

Now i know how it feels to be docked some points lol :lol: Wonder who was it? *peers around* I have some suspects lol jkjkjkjk I haven't used the bad rep function yet either :lol: lol

Nope, once you get moved to a better group, you can have one too ;) Mods have a bigger picture though :lol:

ok... I do not know if this has been already covered... but how to we tell what group we are in? *still very lost*

Ok go to this page: http://www.lissaexplains.com/forum/showgroups.php?


if you see your name at the bottom (registered2) I think it means you have the speacial privelages

thanks... ok.. yeah... me no have privelages ;)

This is all very confusing!

Oooargh things have just got even more confusing :D There seems to be a positive AND an extremely positive, from what I gather. Although it was only one reputation on the extremely positive thing... so mods must be able to do a greater range of reputationy thingys.

I am still confussed also... since so many people say "oh it is this way" and then another says "no no it is like this"... I deffinetly think we should wait for Lissa to explain or we will not know who to believe ;)

Some people think they are real funny docking my points :mad: What have I done so horribly bad? To whomever the funny one is just remember when I dock points it hurts you bad :P and I won't be your friend so ha

ok *walks off soapbox*


I'm waiting for Lissa to explain the whole thing b/c im in a pool of mystery :P

I do the mostest damage, positive or negative ;) Mods are the same as everyone else. You can also get more reputation power by being a member longer, making posts, getting rep points etc.

And people can only put points for you a few times right?

we better be extra nice to Lissa! ;P... this thing is starting to make a bit of sence!

Ohhh lissa has two blue circles *easily amused*

I guess that means she has a realy high rep. (Wonders how many points she has)

Now I just have to figure out why I'm allowed a profile pic, lol

Because your in the special section.

Cause you're in the special user group :D

Aha, well that makes sense. *pats the toaster-ish one*

Hey there are some people who gave me or taken away posts but my Points haven't gone up or down :confused:

ditto, i got some good feedbacks but nothing moved.


:confusion

Maybe if a person has 0 points they can't make an impact on your reputation?

No, somebody recently said something to one of my posts. I think I know who it was, but my rep didn't change and I think they have a high rep, mabey it's not who I thought.

See....I don't think we should get mad at each other for our mass confusion.

SPAM VBULLETIN!

OK not really, but blame them :P

*stops bitting vbulliten's head*


:D ok



Well what will we do now?

ohh... I think my mind is gonna pop from all this infromation that is coming in :P

If you don't read the reputation thread, read this post and see if it might help just a little.

Does anyone know if once your in the Registered2 special group, if you get docked rep points if you get put back in regular registered? I'm just curious.

There's a regular registered? I only see registered2..

Yes, Lissa just doesn't show it because it would contain every other member on the board which is like 15,000 :eek:. It's what your in before you get upgraded to registered2. (I think.)

Why won't my points go up or down? :(

I think the question perhaps should be, why are you so worried? All they really do is determine how big your PM box is, how big your user picture can be, and what colour your dot is. That's it. Not really that important now, eh?

Lissa has three dots now, lol.

lol... all I wanted was two dots and now people are getting three... tsk tsk... more work for me to do... hmmm and I though two dots would be a long way a way from now... three dots will take forever... I am going to go spred more cheer and give lots of people good rep...lol... it feels good!

it's just fun, i mean why do people want avatars?

I agree... it is not like we are going crazy about it... it is just a game... you could say the same thing about "why do people play checkers? you do not get anything out of it" because it is jsut simple fun :)

It took me til page 9 before I finally figured out that I have 0 points... it's yellow, how embarrassing. I'm not sure if I had more before, but it used to be blue. But as far as I gather, colors don't really mean anything. But I suppose since my reputation hasn't really been messed with, there isn't much to look at, but what's the talk of different dots with comments? Supposing someone found some post helpful or not so, where would I see their comments? Just by clicking the x with the check in the corner? Is the information different if you view it from a different post. Say... if this post was found annoying by all, and 5 people decided to lower my points, but no one reacted to my other posts, would I only see the 5 negative dots or whatever I'd see by clicking the x on this particular post, not just any? Ack, complicated. Let's go back to the days where your reputation was decided in the friendships you made with other forumers outside of the forum!

Duckgirl,
in the upper left hand corner you can click on 'User CP' and find out which post it was that people gave you good reputation for. (or bad rep., if you've been a bad girl, or if they happened to be in a foul mood).

Yes, but I have looked and looked on the user cp page and can find nothing about my reputation... maybe it's cause no one has commented on it, yet? I think my dot was yellow before, come to think of it. I had been under the impression that it was now showing online status.

But all I see on the user cp page is the links on top, title graphic, the little folder thingy, and to the right it welcomes me, tells when I last visited and private messages... then the top bar links... then the Control Panel, and to the right, my subscribed threads, forum jump menu bar, and at the bottom it tells me that all times are gmt - 8. And then comes the footer of the page... there seems to be nothing there about my reputation. Perhaps I should wait til someone has something to say about it!

check again ;)

Hee hee.... I see it now... thanks, Marianne!

Lissa has three dots now, lol.

4 now :D

I want 4 dots :crying: I feel left out lol At least I have a nice two little dots at least they're not lonely :P

Yay for people with 4,3,and 2 dots :D (1 dots, you already have one anyway..but I give you my congrats as well ;) )

this is weird all the sudden people have 3 and 4 dots when just a few days ago almost everone still had one dot! congrats to all you have 4! I am quite happy with my two though!

edit: ack! I do not have my two dots any more! :crying: and it was from another person who thinks I post to much in a chat board! this isn't fair!

I am quite happy with my two though!

I only see one dot like me apart from mine is yellow

- Anzrew :)

it's just fun, i mean why do people want avatars?
I suppose so. Sorry for sounding a bit cruel, I was really tired. Insomnia isn't very fun..

And regarding what I said, I've got to back it up a little. I didn't say, "Why do we bother? It's so pointless!" I said, "Why do you care so much about it?" (or something like that). Because if I remember correctly, Cherchez was one of the people who didn't want to have those "Please give me reputations!" people hanging around, and then she started getting upset over having a lower reputation.

(A yellow dot means you have a lower rep so having a yellow dot isn't exactly good, but atleast it's not a common site.)

(A yellow dot means you have a lower rep so having a yellow dot isn't exactly good, but atleast it's not a common site.)
In most cases it means you haven't gotten any reps, so it's not like it's 'bad'

At least I have a dot and its even, I mean what happenes when it isn't even, what colour then, and how many?

Hum...wonders

- Anzrew

If you get good reps, you get blue dots, and more of them collect. I guess if you get alot of bad reps maybe it turns red? None of us really know a whole ton about this lol..

lol, that what I was thinking, I think it might go red, but that is true I dont have any rep points :(, but it doesn't bother me much, I dont even know what they are realy or the point in them

- Anzrew
(People reply Quickly my inbox will be flooded :|)

I really do not think people are being fair about this... I am had 4 red dots and all of them said "you post to much" well simply I think of it this way... when get on I am going to be on a long time... so I try to post on every forum... this is a chat board ya know... and i am not try to up my posts because I think that is just stupid... and one person must have had a lot of power because it took me down 70 points... I donno about this program... but I guess I just will have to cheer bubblegummy on

whoohooo go bubblegummy!

Well it's perfectly fair, I mean if people think you post too much then they're entitled to their own opinions. I'm really sorry your dots are gone but don't make this such a huge deal hun ;) Your points will go back up :D

lol, just think at least you have point

Well it's perfectly fair, I mean if people think you post too much then they're entitled to their own opinions. I'm really sorry your dots are gone but don't make this such a huge deal hun ;) Your points will go back up :D


yeah... you are right... I am just being stupid and I think that is why so many people do not like me... I know my points will go up and it is just a dot :)

edit: mabey when I change my attitude and all people will not think I am that annoying... and I guess I am going to post less because people are right... I guess I do post a little to much and to whoever says I cry to much... I am not really sad about loosing a dot... most of the time I am just kidding...

You all just need to chill out and relax for a bit. It's only been three days.... :)

You all just need to chill out and relax for a bit. It's only been three days.... :)

yeah.. I am just been really tense latly... sorry :(

you are right

edit: when i say tense I am not tense about the dots...lol... a lot of badthings have been happening to my family and I just have not been able to think right

sorry to every one...I know I have made a fool of my self

*runs off to try and cool down before I make myself look even worse*

I think we all need a little break. For some reason I have just be stressed. I'm not sure if it's the dots or not because I'm also waiting on people to give me the information to do something that I'm supposed to be done today.

It drives me nuts to have things that I have absolutly no control over that affect me. If it affects someone else that's fine because it's probably their decision causing the effect.

I agree... the thing that just makes me upset is sometimes it feels like everone is against me... I know that is stupid... but then this thing gets not fun... I know I deserve it if I post to much... but once you start getting 4 complants in a row it starts to get to you even if it is just dots... oh an dI am sorry if it seemed like I was crying about it *blush* I really was kidding... now I am going to stop this because I think I have dragged this out WAY to long.

... I donno about this program... but I guess I just will have to cheer bubblegummy on

whoohooo go bubblegummy!

Please, don't! :P I don't understand why I have 3 dots anyway, I'm as lazy as heck and it's not like I'm even a big contribution to this forum :P

People are still taking this point thing too seriously! I can think of people who say 'aww don't worry, they're only stupid points that don't mean anything' and then the moment they lose any they're saying stuff like 'oooh what could I have done to deserve this, this is so bad!'

Relaaaaax people :)

ok I wont

*shuts up*

I think people were cheering you on because you were the first to get 3 dots... this thing has gone way over the top...

<offtopic>ok... I really do not want to annoy people so if I do something that bugs you PLEASE tell me... I already know I should probably calm down on the posts and I should make it clear when I am joking... that is just one of the things I hate when I have enemies... so PM me the things I should work on because it affects everyone here</offtopic>

Relaaaaax people :)
I agree, they're just dots.. they're fun.. It's not like you are a worse person if you have a yellow dot instead of a blue one.

I agree on the fact that they are only dots, but I also can see what Sophie is feeling. It's not the dots, it's the fact that they keep docking points from her without talking it through.

Whatever. :)

I think people were cheering you on because you were the first to get 3 dots...

That's exactly my point :P

have you noticed that the last 3 letters aren't capitalized anymore for the "unknown quality at this point" ?

I hadn't that's good though. It was bugging me.

i know!! little things sometimes annoy the heck out of me.

Hmm... this was originally about the new forum group thing, right? Presume you had enough rep points, posts, time spent, etc, to get in to the group. But... if people dock your rep points enough, what would happen? Would you be removed from the group until your rep points got higher again? Or, once you are admitted to the group, do you just stay there? I mean, it's not a big deal, I'm just curious.

And I agree, this dot stuff is getting kinda ridiculous... but I was kinda confused until I figured it out. A dot's a dot. People don't shun you because your dot isn't blue or because you don't have many. I mean... would your friends decide they didn't want to associate with you any more if you showed up wearing somehow "substandard" clothes? Not if they're good friends... and I think that if people see that your posts help, and that you're a neat person to be around, they'll continue to be friendly, no matter what your "reputation" stands at. An automated system really can't judge what kind of asset to the forum you are, so this is the best that can be done so far. Don't let it bug you that some person being annoying is docking your points because it doesn't change anything, except the size of your PM box, or whatever!

Ooooo a rant section!!! :)

Um, wow this place has changed alot?

Ooooo a rant section!!! :)

Everytime I leave for a day, there's a big change :D

Hmm Well im back after 3-4 months and read one message in my back post but this is still confussling, i have like 750 posts i think(will edit if im really far off) so whats that do for me..i have no title and no avatar and cant chnage either lol..and cant get in chat 13 and over(well i still gotta pm Lissa been lazy.) So anyways just need somethings cleared up in a little post :P...(runs off to pm Lissa)

I think you just need some rep points ..id give you some but apparently ive already given my lot for the day lol But once you get, i think 10 rep points you should be able to change av and title.

you need 10 rep point and you should be pretty close so just help and hope.

errr how do i know how many i have lol?..i have 10 stars..and it says icon where my title would go??? lol...blah this is confusssingggg

Go to your user CP. You'll see how many you have there.

Click the little check and X picture at the top of your post and a window will popup that says how many rep points you have.

Whoa! Starlet is an Admin now! Congrats Starlet! :)

She is? I still see Sr. Mod.

If i am its the first ive heard of it too lol

I dunno, it says so in forum leaders. *shrug* You're also in a group of your own. I'm somewhat confused.

oh, so i am lol i think Lissa must just be testing things out...like the coppa one, i dont need coppa so i shouldnt be in there...shes probably just added it then added my name as a sort of test :)
ive also been added to Super Moderators and Over 21 and Jr Mod which i wasnt in before! :lol: I think ive just been shoved in all groups for some reason!

Acording to that starlet is: Admin, Jr. Mod, Coppa User Registered, mod, mod again, over 21, registered2, and supermod. So basicly in every group.

mesis have 5 rep points ty to whoever gave me some and if you start with 5 blah lol..im assuming you start@0 :P.... Weeeeee 5 down 5 to go...o and gooooo carolina panthersss

EDIT: So i need 10 to get siggy access and avatar access? rofl im still confused (good ideas but i prefer old way lol) :/

you need 10 rep points to get a avatar :P

holy cow i have 21 now Wee ty peoples guess its a good thing i came back knowing somany people :P pssst brb gonna find my avatar i used to use

*stares at blue dot and squeals with delight* Lalala I get profile picture.. weeeeeeeeeeeee *burst with joy* :cloud:


I have no clue what the yellow ones do but they don't bring your points back to zero. Plus someone gave me one with a blue dot and I didn't get anymore points.

Acording to that starlet is: Admin, Jr. Mod, Coppa User Registered, mod, mod again, over 21, registered2, and supermod. So basicly in every group.

:lol: Starlet, full plate?

someone red dotted me... my reputation is only five now :( Does that mean I'm a mean person?? Awww... someone doesn't like my posts...

From what i understand yellow used to mean neutral- 0 rep points...but now there's no more yellow and green is in its place

Yeah the yellow ones are neutral. They give you no points at all. Kinda pointless :lol:

:( i have been red dotted. well, it was just ms. cherchez being silly xD 460 to go! weee...
