Reputation

[Godofsilver]

For the forums it says my reputation is 9. I started with 10, but I don't understand how it works. I've had 4 grays, 1 green and 2 red ones, yet it went down by one. Can someone explain how it works (details)?

EDIT: back up to 10

The rep. works like this:

Grey: the user doesn't have enough power to give you rep., so it doesn't count.
Green: it gives you one or more points up.
Red: it gives you one or more points down.

The points that you receive depend on the karma that the user giving points has. If I give you a "thumbs up", you'd get two or three points more because I got 79 karma points. If the user has less karma he or she would give you less points.

How on earth do you find out the exact number?

AFAIK, Trial by error.

I mean, the exact number that you or other people have.. I can't see it on profiles?

Oh... Go to the controll panel and scroll until you reach the bottom of the page. You can't see the exact figure that other people have (this feature could be on, but it confers more privacy to have those green blocks).
