Thread: Rep system - goofy.

So I've been on TI for about three months, and even though I've done quite a few giveaways and have posted (what I deem to be) helpful and informative info when I get a chance. My complaint is, The last time I had received rep for anything was 5/13, and then I got one on 7/7 in a giveaway. I'm not sure most new users understand the rep system, and tbh, it's damn near impossible to find the rep icon at higher resolutions using the default TI theme.

What's a fella to do? New folks (the 10% crowd, who I mainly cater to with my GA's - trying to give back, y'see) likely don't know anything at all about the rep system. With this being the case, it's getting damn near impossible for folks like me to advance to the next userlevel.

Not sure how to resolve this. bitch bitch moan moan

read the rep system and u will understand everything
Torrent-Invites Rules
even the post count is considered for the progress
its not only the GA that earn reps so it basically depends on the total contribution towards the forum
as far 10% GA are concerned not only the 10% member view ur thread but the mods also view the threads and add reps for the Giveaways

oh, -I- undertstand it perfectly. It just seems that a lot of other people don't, especially new people who joined after the revamp of the rep system.

I think if there were a smart way to address both of those, then this post of mine would be moot.

Hey, honestly the rep system is perfectly fine as it is, and even if 10% guys may not be aware of how to give rep yet, the older members do, and they have lots more rep power so that's probably who you'd want to get rep from anyway. As for the Rep icon, its perfectly fine for me at 1920x1080. If you want to get rep answer questions in the help section or post a tutorial, something worthy of rep. If you post something of value I'll rep it myself.
But really I know quite a few pple including myself whose advancement to 55% was immediate once we got the post count coz we already had the rep so the system is not the problem.

eh, fair enough. I'll just continue to give away invites, I guess. Answering topics in the help forum hasn't worked for me.

a bit annoyed, but closing thread anywho.
