Repped makes sooo much more sense now! Thanks for everyones help!!

Just curious I recently received reps from a lot of posters with under <25 posts and I understand that you do not get any rep points for those.

My question is: when those posters reach the 25 post mark do the people that they repped when they had under 25 get the reps they are entitled to?

Thanks

No. Reps are reps. Those reps will jsut count as neutral for forever.

Ok I'm wondering what the rep points do and how do you rep someone?

[BarPar596]

TY for your reply but does that seem fair? You get points for everyone else's reps. Plus getting bonus points for reps by mods. This leads me to believe reps are good to have.

Basically reps from posters <25 mean absolutely nothing to your reputation?

Now if you were a new HCW member (<25 posts) and you repped someone and they did not get credit can there be some sort of notification to go back and "re-rep" that person so that they will get credit this time? or once the new member has reached "25 posts" all their reps turn green?

Does anyone go back and contact the neutral rep posters and request them to "re-rep"?

Also is there a list of reps given out like there is reps received? Id like to know who I repped (LOL I think I owe someone )

No, no one does any of that stuff you asked about. Reps are NOT IMPORTANT here at HCW. We don't care about them! They carry no weight here. Mods carry more weight because that's how the rep system was written. We didn't write it -- it came with the programming we have.

No, there's no list of reps given out, and you are the only one besides supermods who can see what reps you have received.

It's just not that important here.

Nothing. They do nothing.

And you rep someone by clicking on the legal scales in a post.

hey, since you go to the legal scales -- are reps legal?

[queenofthehivemomof5]

Reps have zero importance at HCW. It is just a way to let others agree or disagree with your post or to say thanks or no thanks. That is it really.

You do not get bonus points from a mod, mods just have more rep power because they have been repped more often, usually have more post count, that sort of thing.

The only people that have anything special as far as reps go are admin , and we the only thing we can do that other members cannot do is rep the same person more than once and we have no limits on how many people we can rep.

...if not can I get a Chippendale's policeman to arrest me for using them?

YUM!
