Points and green squares

[mccaugm]

Just wondering how the points are worked out when you give someone positive or indeed negative rep?

[mccaugm]

Does no one know how the green squares are pointed?

Still doesn't help, I still don't know why I might get 3 points from one good rep suggestion and maybe 10 another time. No logic. Help!!! Niall and co whats going on?:confused

Basically, the more rep you have, the more "weight" your rep carries when you give it. :)

And why are the squares two different shades of green sometimes?

Hi Margaret,

Haven't a clue if this will answer your questions but I think that the 'wee light green boxes' only appear after you have already attained 5 rep squares (dark green)..and it saves the eyes on counting..also the 'boxes' become twice as hard to get after a certain point around the 5/6 box mark as you need double the amounts of points to get a new box..hence the differential...and the halo effect....:roll:

Clear as mud probably!:D

Hope you are well and I really appreciated your kind comments viz a vie my mam.

Kind Regards

Clear as mud probably!

Not at all, and now that you have explained it, it looks kinda obvious.

Thanks, Karia!

I have over 1000 rep points but only 8 squares, I thought it was 100 points = a green box. Confused!!!!

Haha! Often wondered - glad it is a nice easy system to follow! Think I will just be glad if I get any rep and indeed my green boxes increase! Who loves ya baby? [lol]
