Doesn't really matter to be honest.
At the end of the day, think of the reputation as a game, not as actual rep.
For example I get lots of negative rep (and I know who the people are, see tip below) but it doesn't do enough damage to the positive rep I get (although my explaining might
).
So here is how to play the Rep game.
1. Keep your head down.
Don't talk about rep, or how right/wrong it is. People will then be conditioned to give you rep points (as your talking about them). You can use subliminal methods to trigger a person to give you rep but it has a chance of backfiring.
2. Pick the powerbases.
There are three kinds of rep players.
- Average Joe (uses rep as it should)
- High level reppers (2 or more dots and/or high post count)
- Low level reppers (in the red)
The ones you have to worry about are the greenies that are higher then you. Especially those people who may give you negative rep. Give them the negative rep before they hit you. (only the higher rep has the better effect).
3. Tell those who get good points.
Anyone you give good points to, let them know it was you who sent them. They are more likely to give you good points back. Also let them know why you are giving them.
4. Don't tell the bad people.
Anyone you don't like or those you think will vote you down, give them bad rep. But don't say it was you. It makes you less of a revenge target.
5. Don't give the game away.
If you give someone negative rep, don't then go and post shortly after it (especially after the post you gave the rep on). Also don't just pick any old post that the persons name is on, as that tips them off that they have a hostile voter.
6. Spend the points on those who can bump you up.
Give the good rep to your power base (Friends who will bump you back) and the high rep players who would be most likely to bounce you up as well.
7. IGNORE THE REP SYSTEM.
It is a game. It is not overly reflective of a person or their posts, only those that think of you (either as a game target or actual comment). If the person had the guts for a good comment, they would put it on the thread in question. Also negative points don't really tell you anything about a person. For example ArcadeGame has 2 red dots, but truth be told as far as I know he got them for his pyramid scam advertising and not his posts on politics (which most people might think otherwise).
Now all that is over with.. if you want to play the game, give me positive rep and I'll pass some back.
