Heres a quick Guide on Reputation Points
If you think that someone has made a helpful post , you can add to that persons reputation points by clicking on the scales icon in the post (see below)
Once the next screen is open click the relevant box I approve / I disapprove (negative feedback) See below
Next type a quick message in the box so that the user can see what he/she has recieved Reputation Points for.
Then click on the add reputation button
Finally to check your reputation points and see comments left by other users, open the user control tab, and click the icon shown below
Don’t forget the more positive reputation received the more green boxes appear under the scales icon (see first image)
And keep in mind negative comments will take away from reputation points. So beware if you make bad comments or are generally annoying because now people can let you know about it!
