reputation and warnings

[Zig]

I see the new threads have the above: what bells do we need to ring to make these puppies move!?

[Toad]

Heh heh - I have almost 7% of all the Shuttertalk posts since the beginning of time, and my reputation is 0. If I "report" your post, Zig, maybe that will trigger a warning and raise your reputation to "young offender".

[Toad]

There you go, Zig - now you have a reputation of "1" thanks to me...

[shuttertalk]

Hehe yes, on the bottom left of each post, there's an obscure button.

   

Click it and you'll have the opportunity to add either a positive or negative reputation to a user.


I'm still getting used the software myself but I think warnings are only given by moderators and admins, if you're being naughty.

Outstanding!!(yeahyeah, do me, do me, etc

We could have a Badass of the Year award!
(er, that's not a naughty word in the US is it?)

Awthanks!: now gotta very small reputation

Ha! I bite my thumb at those of no reputation whatsoever!...weeehee...I'm melllltttting, etc; ...but of course, size doesn't matter....

[shuttertalk]

Hey, contain your enthusiasm there, or I may have to give you a warning!

[NT73]

When you get a warning do you lose a rep point.
Not that I care about rep points, or the number of posts. More to do with the content.

[shuttertalk]

They are independent. Reputation allows users to rate other users for their friendliness, helpfulness and knowledge. Warnings are a way for mods and admins to warn others that this person's behaviour may be suspect.

Although I assume that if both systems were in full use, both would naturally correlate.
