New Reputation Feature in the Forums

[TheAllusionist]

We have implemented a new reputation feature in the forums. If you see a good or bad post, you can choose the little scale icon at the bottom of the post and and add or subtract to the posters reputation.

User Reputation in its simplest form is a ranking of your user's benefit to the forum. Its basis comes from the opinions of all users that choose take part in it.

Users gain and lose reputation based on how their posts are scored by other forum participants. Users with the ability to affect reputation, will either give or take aways points by approving or disapproving with a post's content.

We imagine that in this friendly forum it will be used for positive reinforcement and will see if it is useful or not. Post will show an additional image similar to ranks, showing your reputation increasing with green bars or if you go towards the dark side, red bars

If you see a good post you can either thank them or build up their reputation
