What exactly is "reputation"? - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

Is it as meaningless as it appears? I don't usually pay attention, but I saw it when I changed my sig. I've apparently gotten 9 "points", all negative, the latest being 2 days ago with the accompanying comment: "Tex being his usual, foul self."

LOL. Literally. The sad thing is, I have no idea who to thank for such kind comments. I guess the points are given anonymously?

Anyone?

Is this something on this board. It probably is meaningless. I don't even know what it is. Besides, who cares??

My money's on Lebowski. BTW, how do I find out my super-secret score?

Tex, after reading your post, I just added your reputation.

I was at a loss for words, so I just used the description you provided.

See if it comes up.

Actually, I have no idea what he is talking about. Where is this "reputation" link?

Yep, I got two more from this thread, but it doesn't say who. It also says I'm at "8 points" now, so I have no idea how the calculation is supposed to be done.

I see it in the center of the screen when I click on User CP. (control panel?)

Never mind. I found it.

I've got zero points and 4 linked posts that I assume went towards that score.

Now that I've figured out this feature, it's time for some search and destroy.

my user cp page doesn't seem to have a reputation section. I've been wondering why I'm still green-lit after all the ridiculous comments I've made.
