The reputation system allows users to give each other anonymous feedback about their posts. The feedback can be either positive or negative.
Each user has a reputation rank. This rank is determined by the number of reputation points you have received. Your reputation rank is only viewable by other members if you have enabled it in your Control Panel: Options setting. Otherwise, your reputation is completely private.
Because the system is entirely anonymous, there is no way of seeing who has given you reputation points or comments.
You cannot give reputation points to more than 20 other members in a day, and you may not give reputation points to the same member twice (without giving points to at least 20 other members in between).
Levels
While you cannot see the exact reputation score of others,you can see approximately how much they have, by looking at the ALT-tag of the reputation dots.
