I'm not sure if you have one of these threads lying around, but i did a search and couldn't find one, so here goes.
With the rep points, currently I'm at one dot, when will i be able to see how much i have by hovering over it, I've noticed when i hover over someone else s it says "Yoda has +1245 rep points'' but when i hover over mine it only says ''Jerry Shaw''. What i am wondering is, when will mine display and also, what are the points i need to get another bar?
Cheers. :rolleyes:

Once you get your second green dot, it will show your total rep points.
For more information on rep points, type "reputation" into the search function, and a few threads will pop up. :)

Awesome, thanks. I'll have a look though some of those threads and see if i can find any info. :)
Aye, lots of this covered elsewhere, but the basics: every 50 rep points, you get another dot. 500 gets you the "lightsaber," though that's almost certainly doubling soon.
The fact that you can't see your rep by hovering is a little bug I haven't gotten 'round to fixing yet, but for now you can see it in the My Profile (http://www.movieforums.com/community/usercp.php) area (which I should probably rename), on the upper left-hand corner.

Every 50 rep points you get another dot? I have +65 but only one dot.

They are worth 50 reps each. You get the first one right away, but it's still for 50 reps. Once you get another 50 reps, you get the second one, and so on. I hope that made sense.

Oh right, that makes perfect sense, thanks.

There's some to get you started.

Random thought about Rep...
Wouldn't it be cool if it would cost you one to give one?
Be interesting to see who would get the most... be very few lightsabers around :D
How dare you suggest such a ghastly idea!

You'd probably have a riot on your hands... MoFos are proud of them lightsabers... :D

Once it's all green though there's nothing left to aspire to. It should roll back to zero after a while :D

I still want mine to be black. Maybe with some silver glitter.

You could so pull that off Des.
Funny you should say that, T: I considered that very idea. At first, I was very enamored with the thought, is it would force everyone to put a lot of thought into their ratings. But then I realized that we'd have to have a number of mechanisms in place in order to distribute more rep, or else people would just be trading the same number of points forever...which has some benefits, but ultimately, it would stop anyone from having a noteworthy total, possibly ever.
It's still do-able, but it would basically require that I act like the Chairman of the Federal Reserve and inject liquidity/rep and monitor the total in "circulation," which probably involves automatically rewarding points for things like posts and threads, which opens a whole new can of worms.
Which is a shame, because there was a good 24 hours where I was very tickled by the idea. :)

Wouldn't work. I would hoard all of my rep and I would only give it out for cold, hard, cash.
Or possibly, sexual favors...
I donate my rep to any and all who deserve it more than I do. This isn't some gracious BS since you just mentioned it. I'm still going to keep posting the way I do because somehow the members like it, but I wouldn't be surprised if they've been mislead by Elmer Gantry. Just disconnect my rep and mirror it to some others, but don't tell them which ones get it for God's Sake because it will become another endless cycle of questionable actions.

That made me giggle for some reason :D
Anyway, I still think it would be interesting but if it's a lot of work or if there'd be a lot of time spent managing it and explaining it it's probably not worth it.

It would be very interesting to try this out for say a month, and then compare the change on how it is handed out.
