How do you find out the reputation points of others beside yourself

I know it displays rep power, but how do you find out rep points?

You can. It's right there above your reputation power.

I'm not sure it's good to know this information at this level of specificity, but I'll give it a try for awhile.

Oh, okay. I didn't know it was your decision to not show it for a reason. I though I just couldn't find it.

I think that this is a great idea. I like the idea that you can see all of the rep points instead of it being based on how much rep the other person had.

Huh? That makes no sense. Instead of WHAT being based on what?

look at the top right corner of this post, there are two icons... slide the mouse over them... one is for giving positive rep, one is for negative... how many points you have effects your rep power... your rep power effects how much you will impact anothers rep when you give positive or negative.

go to usercp at the top... scroll to the bottom and see who has added what to you

That's not true. The pill button

is for giving both positive and negative reputation. The report button is for reporting a post you think is so bad it should be removed (a racist comment, one with swear words, advertisements, graphic sex imagery - whatever you think warrants "reporting" to the "authorities"). Only the first button gives (or takes) reputation. Your reputation power is how many points of reputation you give or take with + or - comments. You earn reputation power by getting + reputation comments, by being a member for increasingly longer periods of time, and by posting increasingly more posts. We've had more in-depth discussions on WHAT reputation is, however, elsewhere. Please visit those older threads for more answers if you still need them.

Sorry I didn't finish. Basicly all I was trying to say was 'thanks for making the reputation system less confusing'

Can we introduce an electric shock system that is distributed through the keyboard for those with negative reputations and those who make controversial comments please?..lol

No. But for someone who's supposed to be trying to work his way back into good graces, you're one small step from a trip to the penalty box.

I'm liking the new reputation button. It's way easier to see now. Thanks
