User Reputation Options

If you notice the little scale looking thing in the upper right hand corner when you make a post. Its a reputation counter. If you think someone makes a good post or a bad post you can click that little scale and give them a reputation count. As you rep goes up so do those green dots under your post count.

It pretty much what karma is on elite fitness. I feel that it can serve some good if used correctly.

Youre right, if used correctly, its very beneficial.

I'm curious to see what your get's to, :). If it's for info then it should be high. If it's based on your gentle personality... lol.

Ooh..... good point... ;)


Can I turn mine off?

People get too fixated on "rep points" IMO. I don't think we even need that kind of system here. It inevitably becomes more of a personality gauge than a knowledge gauge. People give rep to those they like or those whose views they agree with. The rep/karma system turns a board into one big personality contest.

:agree: Popularity contest, I'm sure. I bet pics get several hundred percent more votes than good info on training, nutrition or even anabolics.

Lets just see how it works or if anyone uses it. You guys know me, I will turn it off if I dont like it.

LOL, yeah, that's what I meant; a popularity contest.
