*edit* nothing in this post is any longer relevant, scroll to post 8

Every member begins their Zilvia life with 10 rep points.
Rep points drive "rep power," which is how much you add/subtract to a member with positive or negative reputation, respectively.
You gain one point of rep power for a few situations:

Every calendar year you've been a member (you get one every January 1)
Every 1000 (one thousand) posts
Every 100 (one hundred) points of reputation you've received, you can find that total by clicking your "User CP"

Your "rep power" is displayed for all users to see like a huge (or VEEEEEERRRRRRY tiny weewee, depending on how you might view these things) as a number below your screen name on all your posts. Your rep power speaks directly to what you ADD with a positive rep to a user, and is approximately double what you take away, we round down on negatives...
When your rep is too low, your rep power is zero, you do not add or remove any points with a rep.
When you look upon your rep in your control panel, green is positive, red is negative and grey was impotent and had no effect, because the user's rep power was too low to offer a change. That happens to people in the negative or who have not yet earned rep power.
The greys are confusing sometimes, so one must use the verbiage that the user left with it to discern whether the intent was positive or negative:

Grey with no comment - they were TRYING to leave positive
Grey with comment - forum mandates that a comment be left with negative reputation
If there is a picture of titties or anything else NSFW, PM a moderator or admin, comment will be edited and user leaving comment handled directly.

No, we can NOT delete a reputation, be it positive or negative, we can only edit comments, and DO NOT ask us to change/remove comments because someone disagrees with you, only when what was left is against the rules.
No, we will NOT tell you who left you a comment for you to haul off and retaliate. If you want to see it, buy a premium membership or cross your fingers and hope that you're a moderator one day. No, it will never be mandatory to leave one's name when leaving reputation. Just as subjective as the system in general is, so is the option of whether or not to leave a name behind a rep left. Depends on what house your moon is in.

I REPEAT this thread is NOT here as a bitch and gripe session about negative reputation, as much as it is information as to what the system is and how it works, so we don't have new threads about it weekly.
