Q - How many points are given/taken when you vote for or against?

A - The amount of influence you have is based on a complex formula based around how long you've been a member, your post count, and your reputation.


Q - How does it all work?

A - Default reputation is 10.

You gain 1 point of rep-altering power:
- per year of membership.
- per 1,000 posts
- per 100 reputation points you yourself have

You must have 50 posts b4 you can influence others reps

You must have at least 10 rep points b4 you can influence others.

You may only influence 10 people per 24 hr period

You have to influence 10 people b4 you can hit someone again.


Q - Do the reputation points expire.

A - No.


Q - How do I use the system?

A - To give rep, simply click on the scales icon next to the post number that you wish to "rep". You must select positive or negative. Including a reason is optional, though doing so is considered good form.


Q - Can I see who gave me rep points?

A - No. Reputation is anonymous, though MT Staff can see who reped them.


Q - Can I disable the display of my reputation?

A - Yes, if you are a Supporting Member.


Q - What do I do if someone sent me something rude/obscene/threatening?

A - Report it to our staff. We will investigate and take action as neccessary.
