Ol' dannyboy don't know much about your rules or qualifications or anything

. Most of my time is spent, researching data, writing code, etc.I thank you for bringing up that mlk_man(MM). So. MM, I take it you really pissed someone off really bad, that they 'banned' you??? I had noticed that little milk bottle carrier was banned long ago and have always, used that, to keep all my input to the MB, as clean as possible, no matter how many $1000's I lost when following others advice.

Please inform me of where I'd go to get all the data relevant to MB use.

Click the scales (above the boxes)to give someone reputation.....the greeness gets brighter as more rep points are given!!!!

NOW GIVE ME REP FOR MY ANSWER ~~~~

thanks frixxxx for the helpful answer, i added to your rep, not that you needed much help there.

i didn't notice a change to your boxes when i did though, does each rep equal one box, and bad ones are dark green, light ones good maybe?

how come nobody has any red boxes around here?

is there a user manual for these types of things?

I never have tried to give negative rep...although I hear it happens.

But then again, I don't think most people will do it, even if they get their fill.

Wow, I'm over 2K in posts. I need to get serious and make a difference with my words!

The rep algorithm is programmed so that different members have different weight on others' rep. For example, your rep gets penalized for just randomly giving rep haphazardly to others. If your rep is high or you have a lot of posts, the rep you give will have more weight than if you are new or have low rep yourself.

We no longer allow members to give each other bad rep. We had problems with that as you might imagine. Only mods can give negative rep now.

OK, got it now, Quick Links>Edit Options>Invisible Mode.

That's an interesting feature. You mean a person could be "in the fourm but not of the forum"? Does one have to come out of the bushes to post or could you snipe away from the security of cover?

How voyueristic.
