What is exactly Reputation points?

How are they added? I have 29 at the mo.

Curious!

People give them to you by clicking on the little scales icon underneath the information about you to the left of each post. You can see what you got reputation for by looking at the bottom of your User CP (follow the link near the top of each page near to the left).

OK! Another question.

If u get a "I approve post" how many points do u get?

If u get a "I disapprove post" how many points are taken off?

Your all going to love me now but what does the stars under your user name mean? I recently gone from one to two stars.

Any info welcome!

The points you add or remove depend upon a few things, such as your own reputation, how many posts you have, how long you've been around, etc etc.

The stars represent a sort of ranking system, where ordinary users go from 1 to 2 to 3 depending upon various criteria. At the moment that depends on how many posts you have. Users with 4 stars are moderators and users with 5 stars are administrators.

Cheers that clears it up quite a bit!

Final question of the day (thank god I hear you say!); Karma? Is that the same as reputation?

Yeah.
