[RESOLVED] Your reputation on this post is Somewhat Positive
Generally I see this message for a positive rep point,
Quote:
Your reputation on this post is Positive.
But in a some posts I found this message,
Quote:
Your reputation on this post is Somewhat Positive.
Does members with more than one gem has more than 2 reputation options ?

This is not the case. I don't have any negative rep. (till now :D)
The only negative rep I received was a mistake. The member, MartinLiss and you (Hack) kindly corrected it.

I'm more confused. I have received a "Somewhat Positive" and a "Positive" from 2 members. Both of them are 400+
Re: Your reputation on this post is Somewhat Positive
6 Positive rep points given to you on that one post.
Me will add this to the Rep FAQ seeing as it's been asked a few times. Hang in there.
Edit: It will be a little while, I've run out of room.
Re: Your reputation on this post is Somewhat Positive
I still don't understand this. :D
I can't select how meny points to give.
I'll wait for the FAQ.
Re: Your reputation on this post is Somewhat Positive
I don't believe that this statement is correct.

We'll look into it and no, nobody accept an Admin can manually decide how many points to give or take away.
Re: Your reputation on this post is Somewhat Positive
I have updated the Reputations and Rating Posts thread in UtilityBank. I think what I have there is correct, but if it's not, then it's incorrect.
Edit: Last section of the first post.
Re: Your reputation on this post is Somewhat Positive
Yes I agree. Currently Rob's Reputation Points FAQ says
"If you have received no ratings on that post it will say "Your reputation on this post is Even". If you have received ratings totalling up to 5 positive points it will say "Somewhat Positive", for down to -5 points it will say "Somewhat Negative". Above 5 points total it will say "Positive" and below 5 points it will say "Negative"
I don't know if the +5/-5 levels are correct (but they probably are) but I do know that it has nothing to do with the type of rating. In other words there doesn't have to be a mixture of poitive and negative, although there could be.

Yes. That's exactly my point.
If that is correct, then why reps from one person with 6 gems is "Positive" but reps from another person with same 6 gems is "Somewhat Positive" ?

Thanks to you too Penagate for the FAQ update. :thumb:
Re: Your reputation on this post is Somewhat Positive
6 points of reputation power, not gems ;)
I have 6 gems... but only 3 points of reputation power... see further up in the FAQ for the full explanation of the reputation power system and an example of how to calculate it.

It doesn't have anything to do with who gives you the points. The only thing that matters is the total number of points given to the post.

OK. Thanks. I got it. :)
Another question,

I have seen members with 80+, is that next limit ?
