Good Day fellow Pilots. Herr Oberst has asked me to do a Tutorial on REPUTATION: How, when & why.
Now I know our "old hands" probably know all about it but we have many new recruits & recent arrivals at the front so here goes.
HOW: You will find a small green thumbs up at the bottom of a post & to give "Reputation" just click on the icon & a Box will appear where you can insert a message & give a Rep Point to the owner of the Post. This icon has now been replaced with a Green + symbol!
WHY: If the Post appeals to you be it a AAR, an interesting thread, Pictures, Link or a Model Aircraft that you think deserves a Reputation Point then please click on the icon to give one. You never know the poster might return the favor on one of your posts.
Record of Rep Points: When a Rep Point is given & received the receiver will get a PM to advise of this & in his Profile Page there is a Button on the top RH Side "Reputation" & when he clicks on this will see how many Rep Points he has & who has given them.
Rep Points also accumulate into the number of small green squares under your rank & Flag on your Avatar in each of your posts so the more Rep Points you get the more Green Squares. The text when you hover your mouse of those green squares also changes. To begin with, everyone has a status of "Has not yet reported to flight training". As you get more rep points, this will change to things like " Is an Ace!".
So there you have it! If you think someone deserves a Rep Point please do hit the icon & let your friends know you appreciate their input to the Forum activity.
If you have any queries please post them here so others can learn from them as well.
