    Would be nice to know what you are being repped for even if the person repping didn't leave a comment. Maybe a list of last 10 posts you were repped on, plus the last few comments as now.
    Scrag - if you click the thread title link in settings, it takes you to the post that rep was applied to.

      Sure, I understand that, but not everyone comments on all reps.

      Would be nice to know what you got a rep for even if no comment.

      Or is rep not 1 rep 1 point?

        How about because you are a cock?
        Now, that's more like it! However when you post those kinds of comments surely they should have negative rep?

        FFS, some people are clueless!

          The rep awarded is based on the rep level of the person giving it. The higher your personal rep the more rep points are given, or removed, when you rep someone. The lower your rep the less it is worth when you rep others. Get a low enough rep your self and your repping of others becomes wothless. These show up as grey rather than red or green.

            That's not correct. Only if you go negative does that apply and it means that your rep is worthless.

            Rule of thumb

            Negatives = 1 rep per 1000 posts
            Positives = 2 rep points per 1000 posts

            Length of joining is important, there is a slight multiple on the join date of the poster, plus <1000 points are rounded up and only provide rep points after a decent join period (few months).

            If you notice a rep come in which seems a little stupid and you notice it quickly you only have to look at the user online console Who's Online - Contractor UK Bulletin Board to see who is in what thread or doing what(ie. adding reputation).

              You'd have to be checking your settings page fairly frequently to spot that. If you care that much about it you need to get out more.

                    Do we really want MF to get out more?
