I don't know if there is a limit... but I do know that you can get it more than once. I think I've had 4 - 5 people give me rep for the same post.

yea ive had several people give rep for one post, but i can only go so far back lol and i dont remember if i ever got over 2

CDNTech · Sep 4, 2007

Yeah, I can't double check either because you can only go so far back.

Which brings me to another question...
Is there anyway to see all rep points/comments that you've ever gotten and not just the most recent?

You can receive rep from more than one person for the same post.

You cannot GIVE rep to someone more than once for the same post.

As far as I can tell, there is no limit to how many different users can give reputation to a single post.

There is a setting that limits the number of ratings you can see to the 10 most recent. I can increase this if most people would like that.

where do you go to find out how much rep you have and such?

UlrikeDG · Sep 6, 2007

Click "User CP" in the tool bar toward the top of the page.

here's my rep request- please sign them! It's only half as fun if you don't know who thought it was good.

SafeDad · Sep 7, 2007

Rep is kept anonymous for those who prefer it that way. For those who don't care, it's perfectly fine to sign your username in your comment.

Ok I've read through this and still don't quite get it.

Can some people give more rep than others? Can you always see which post of yours earned the rep?

I can see two people have left me rep, and their comments. My rep is at 16. Does that mean they both left me 8?

Do you earn rep by giving it as well?

I'm so confused!!

--Feel free to point me to a thread on this...I've looked over some but still found them to be confusing.

UlrikeDG · Oct 2, 2007

I don't think it's spelled out anywhere. What I've gathered is:
- You start out with 5 points, just for registering.
- Some people can give more points than others, but the only way to tell how many points you got from a given entry is if you pay attention to how many points you have before and after.
- Your User CP shows the last 25 entries to your reputation.

LimePink · Oct 2, 2007

What amounts can people give? Does it go by the number of posts they have, how long they've been a member, how much rep they have given, how much rep they have themselves...? Does it have anything to do with which part of the forum you received the rep in? (Coffee Break vs. Car Seats)

One last question! Can you always see who gave you rep? I can see who gave me rep and their comments...but can people give rep w/o leaving a comment and then whoever they gave the rep to just sees an increase in points and no name or comment? Did that make sense?

Sorry for all of the questions! Guess it's not super important to know...I'm just curious

if you donate to the forum at the benefactor level and above, or you are a moderator, you will see in the rep section of your user CP a column with the user name of the person who left you rep. non-donators and non-moderators do not have this view. but every user sees an line entry for every person who has left you rep. in it will be a link to the post you made which earned you the rep, the date and time, and a comment line. the person who leaves the rep can leave the comment line blank if they wish. as for how many points can be left, i know it has to do with some level of "experience" but i don't know the exact formula (i.e., i don't know if it's based on how much rep the person leaving it has, or if it's based on the number of posts, user title, etc). when i get rep from a new user, it's usually one or two points. if i get rep from a moderator, it's usually 10-20 points.

SPB- Thanks! This all needs to be written in FAQs or something...it is pretty confusing. Well, written in FAQs when it's all figured out.

BTW- you were able to give me 4:thumbsup:
