* Everyone joining as a registered member with our forum receives a default 10 points of reputation.
* For every 365 days, you gain 1 point of reputation-altering power (eg, if you had the power to give ‘2’ points per post, it goes to ‘3’).
* For every 1000 posts, you gain 1 point of reputation-altering power.
* For every 100 points of reputation, you gain 1 reputation-altering power.
* You must have a minimum of 50 posts before your ‘reputation power’ kicks in - up until then, you can rep someone but it will appear grey to them and add zero points. This is stop ‘neg rep spamming’ by a new member. When it does, your default power is 2 points per reputation given.
* You can only give out reputation points to 10 people in 24hrs.
* You have to give reputation to 20 different people before you can ‘rep’ the same person again.
* You can only give reputation once to a person in a thread. (ie you cannot ‘rep’ someone twice for the same post).

15. When should I add or remove reputation to/from other members?

We recommend awarding members with reputation points when they post informative posts , help others and help make this community become a better place.

You should remove points when user posts irrelevant information that does not help anyone, or when his/her post doesn't match thread's discussion.

Do not add/remove points just because you don't agree with a member's opinion, points of view or anything else that isn't concerened with the quality of his/her post.

The reputation system exists for the sole purpose of enhancing the quality of posts by rewarding quality posters and punishing spam and other useless, irrelevant posts. These are the only reasons reputation points should be given or taken away.

Swapping reputation points is not allowed (give me one, and I'll give you one). Rewarding or punishing someone for a successful (or unsuccessful) exchange or other activity that is not related to the quality of a user's messages is not allowed. Failure to follow these rules will result only in an infraction or loss of rep (by a moderator). Banning will not be allowed solely for reputation giving or taking violations, unless a user defies explicit warnings from a Moderator or Admin.

These rules will be updated and changed at any given time without prior notice. It is your responsibility to check these rules once in a while to make sure you are not violating them.
