Some of you may or may not have noticed the little +/- sign on the top right section of another user's post.
This is part of the new reputation system.
Really, all it is, is if you see a post you find helpful, or worthy of congratulations, you can add a + reputation to the user's profile. If you find the post not helpful at all, or just so out-there lame, add a - rep to take away from the user's total rep.
This is really experimental. I'm not sure how it will work around here, but here are some basic guidlines i would like if people would follow:
-don't be a rep whore. Please. asking for rep will only get you de-repped (and on that, if you see someone ask for rep, de-rep them for me
-you can't rep yourself, just saying that now before you check
-don't throw a fit if someone de-reps you. It happens. Sometimes in piles
-most of all, just have some fun with it!
Again, its pretty much just a test, if it doesn't work within the next week or so I will have it removed, so if you have any feedback pertaining to it, just post it right
