Reputation

What is the little "reputation" icon for?

[Stan Malinowski]

If you look at a post, there is an icon near the upper right hand corner which looks like a scale. If you click on this icon you are allowed to give feedback about the post. The overall sum of your feedback makes up your "reputation rating".

Thanks for the info, Stan. I did not know this. Can you tell me how one learns about his reputation and/or how you find out about another's reputation. I did notice the green bar under the users' post count in the upper right, some say "off the scale", others travel distinguished paths. Is that how they're registered? Is there a way to know who left what type of feedback and/or when and related to which posts?

Thanks for any info. And sorry if this is an FAQ, but I searched around a bit before posting and didn't find anything relevant.

Cheers,

Dave

Dave, I just gave you some feedback via the reputation icon. You should be able to see it somewhere. ???

Edit: Click on your own rep icon, and you can see your points total. And I guess you can see how you're rated on a particular post.


So what is the intended use of this? If someone gets their rep slammed, does a little jackass icon show up or something?

Ahh I see now. That's cool, thanks. I'd still like to see what other people's ratings are, sort of like the "karma" system on /. (for all you fellow computer nerds out there).
