Billos Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 (edited) This has probably been explained somewhere before but I can't find it ( a search for reputation gives zero results.) So maybe worthwhile giving a rundown in the FAQS. Cheers. Edited March 18 by Billos spellng errrs 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandsaw Steve Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I’ve just clicked ‘like’ on this post, so you should now have a score of ‘1’ in your ‘reputation’. By no means a full answer I understand but it’s a start. 👍 As for warnings; the site moderators give these out very occasionally, but really - unless you go out of your way to upset someone by insulting them or swearing or making a political diatribe - in my experience at least, it just won’t happen. As I understand it, If you get too many warnings or say something really ‘over the top’ you might get suspended or even banned. But these occurrences are very rare. If you have a really high reputation score I think it earns you…. absolutely nothing… except the satisfaction that someone somewhere reads your stuff and enjoys it. That’s my understanding anyway! I hope that answers some of your queries. Welcome aboard! 👍 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, of course, chances are, you will be born a much more beautiful creature in next live. That's nothing? 😇 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of what you said is bang on Steve, but this bit could do with clarification and elucidation If you get a warning, you usually get a 31 day suspension too. Second warning gets three months, and third warning gets an infinite suspension, aka, ban. On occasion, someone will do something bad enough to earn all three at once, so they get removed straight away. We also don't like sock-puppet accounts, which are people sneaking back under another name, or having multiple accounts and behaving as if they're someone different. Not only is it creepy, psychologically troubling and unnerving, but it's also underhanded and deserving of an instant ban. If someone screws up and accidentally starts 2 accounts however, we'll just merge 'em and move on As to how you get warnings, it's personal attacks, insults and swears like Steve said, and if anyone won't shut up about the usual hot topics of politics and religion, they get one too. It's pretty simple really. Be polite, respectful and helpful, and you won't even need to think about it 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it’s the internet, what doesn’t make sense , makes sense. Oh well, back to plastic worrying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
