    Default Rep power - what is it???

    I see this and was wondering just what is it. I put it in the search and only power pops up. Thanks in advance.
    0.5mm vs 0.7mm graphite sizes is much like 9mm vs 45acp...they both work if you know what you are doing. - me

    Whenever you post on a thread, other members can see 3 options directly below your profile details on the left hand side of your post.

    They are (from left to right) to give Thanks to the poster, to add to this user's Reputation (asterisk), and to Report a post.

    When you are reading a post and you wish to add to the user's reputation, you press the Reputation asterisk. A box comes up asking you if you liked the post and then you can give Positive, Neutral or Negative Reputation to the poster of that post.

    You also get an award automatically on the anniversary of when you joined FPG. I'm not sure exactly how that award works, but I think it just adds 1 point to your total number of points.

    To see your total number of reputation points click on Settings in the top Right hand corner. There you can see the latest reputation you've received, as well as your current points total.

    If you click on Forum then click on the Community tab, the Reputation Board is on a drop down menu there. You can see what reputation you have left for other members, and if you can find your name in the column for reputation received, then click on it, you will see all of the reputation you have received. If you're fortunate enough to have received any.

    For more information I suggest you read This thread, as well as This one. There are probably others if you do a search.

    Once you have left someone reputation of any kind, you have to spread some more reputation around before you can leave reputation for the same member again. A box pops up to tell you if you can't give any more reputation to that member.

    Hope this helps, and may all of your reputation awards be positive.

    Chrissy and I go back and forth on this. I would adore her even if she had a rep of 1. If you go chasing rep points, just also be aware that there are people who never, ever care about them. I only care about what a person writes and what I read of theirs.

    However, at some point my rep passed an arbitrary number and I now have x-ray vision. True fact.

    True fact? Wow. But thank you for your sweet comment.

    I've been on 88 points for quite some time now, but don't have x-ray vision yet. Isn't 88 a lucky number in China?

    I don't know. It's basically my favorite Aurora pen, though.

    Thanks everyone. Now I know. Not into points so I don’t have to worry about that.

    Yeah, but don't overlook that x-ray vision thing. Really comes in handy at times.

    Do you get a free coffee when you accumulate 100 points? And do points expire at the end of the month?

    I wouldn't know. I've never got there, and at the rate I'm going I'll be pushing up daisies before I do.

    I don't think they "expire" once they are on there.

    I was able to trade my points in to save whales. I thought it a worthwhile cause. When I get enough, this time I’m going to save a tiger or a rhino.

    Seems like there must be quite a few people who post expecting the recipient to do the same: like for like.

    Haven't paid any attention to it so far, nor will I do so in the future.
