Thread: Rep vs. feedback

I'm having a lot of trouble distingiushing "rep" and "feedback". I've now read multiple guides (like http://www.torrent-invites.com/torre...tml#post401555) but am still unsure what each one is. For example, my profile says my feedback score is 0% but also I am "on a distinguished road", i.e., I have at least 5 rep points.

Also, is there an easier way to find out how many rep points you have without going to the control panel?

There is no way to check how many rep points points you have without going to the control panel.

Rep is always optional. On the other hand, you MUST give an iGiver if someone gives you an invite to a site.

The higher a person's iGiver is, the higher the number of invites they have handed out.

Your feedback score of 0 simply means you haven't given any invites yet.

Check out Torrent-Invites Rules and Torrent-Invites FAQ if you haven't already.

OK, so does that mean that the feedback score is based on iGivers and that rep is based on positive rep/thanks?

P.S. I've read all the rules + FAQ, and neither make this distinction.

Yes, that's exactly it, although the "thanks" system is not being used atm, so rep is just rep (both positive and negative).
