Re: With no power, comes great responsibility
Hey thanks for the explanations and praise. Looks like you've reached your points and power levels too.

I too am striving to work towards my 35 points. Took a while to figure out how all this works and digging through all the FAQs. For Bros who want a quick summary of how things work, here's my personally summary of the point system, to the best of my knowledge.

1. You can only have Power when you hit 35 reputation points.

2. The Power then allows you to "up" or "zap" another Samster's reputation points.

3. The amount of Power that you have is dependant on how long you've been in the forum. Each year that you've been a member gives you 1 addiotional power. eg. if you joined in 2006, you'll start with 3 power points. This explains why some people can have 100 reputation points, but only 1 power cos they have only been members for 1 year.

4. You can only up or zap a person once every 1000days i.e. once in 3 years. This prevents you from getting a friend to keep giving you points. Conversely , it prevents you from keep zapping a person. The bottom line is that enough different people must "like" you enough to up you.

5. Your power will be replenished every 24 hrs. Which means that you can up one person, then then up the next person 24 hrs later.

6. You can only "up" a person's post within 2 days of him posting it. This means that you can dig back to a really old thread then zap/up him. Its gota be a relatively new post.

7. If you zap a person, you should leave behind your nick. Be a man. If you're unnecessarily abusive and foul AND dont leave your name, the zapee complaints to the moderator, the zapper may have his rep points deducted.

8. If you up a person, you might also wish to leave behind your nick so that he'll know who up him, and also maybe one day he will return the favour to you when he has the "POWER" to do so.

9. If you have 5 power, it means each time you up a person, he'll get 5 reputation points. Conversealy, each time you zap a person means he'll lose 5 points.

10. Like SirDennis said, with great power comes great responsibility.

Hope this post helps. Feel free to correct me if my points above are wrong. Once again, its to the best of my understanding. I'm also working towards my 1st 35 points...

Regards,
Phuture
