Lame Question About Posters Reputation

Can anyone explain how this works? I tried to find it on here but couldnt. So how does a poster get a good or bad reputation, when it comes to the "points" they get?

I just have not seen that on other boards.

 
Basically if someone likes your post, for whatever reason, they hit the + sign on your post and that adds to your rep. We turned off the negative rep feature because it was being abused and we had guys with huge negative points because they made an unpopular comment about a player/coach/The Beatles (that last one was mostly AR Husker Fan's doing).

The Reputation system, as we use it, is just another way of saying, "I agree," nothing more. It doesn't mean anything, and posts by people with higher rep points don't carry greater weight and aren't more important. Same goes for people with high post counts or Starting Lineup avatars, etc. Basically, your words in your post stand on their own, and whether you have 5,000 rep points and 10,000 posts or 0 rep points and 2 posts, your post has the same merit.

Says the guy with triple the rep as anyone else :P

 
And of course if you want your rep count to go up, all you need to do is incorporate Shawn Watson into any thread no matter what it is about. INSTANT CRED brotha!!!!!
