Rep point #'s

[werty]

Just a question, how does a person give +2 rep to a person in one post, does it depend on type of member?

One more question- can anyone on this site give as many rep in one post as they want?

Included in the new forum software package was a system to rate posts positively or negatively. Each post rating is reflected by adding or deducting a number of points to or from the poster's tally. More than anything this is intended to get the quality of the posts up.
We have been running this system for a week now and have now set definitive numbers for the various variables.
These variables control who can rate and how many points they can rate with.

Minimum post count to rate: 50
Minimum reputation to rate: 20
Reputation power:
Default reputation power: 1
For every 1000 posts: 1
For every 100 reputation points: 1
For every membership year: 1

So in my case with around 220 posts, 41 reputation and less than a year memebership, every rating I do would add remove 1 point.

It's also important to note that you can only rate 20 times per day and that you have to rate 20 other members' posts to rate the same user's posts again.

Remember: you are rating posts not members! We want to increase the quality of the forums and not start a popularity contest.

Thank you for your time and enjoy your forum vistits,
Wouter Melissen

Too answer your second question: only the administrators can give people as many rep. or take away as many rep. as they want.
