Q: What's a reputation system?
A: A reputation system is a way to give feedback to posters. Positive Skill is given to posters who make excellent posts and contribute to the forum. Negative Skill is given to posters who do the opposite.

Q: Can you be more specific?
A: Not quite yet. We're still working on better descriptions for everyone so we're all on the same page. Soon though.

Q: What's the gray icon mean?
A: It means you have no Skill. Everyone starts at zero. A redicon would indicate positive fame, and more icons means more fame. Blue for negative. Right now everyone's gray.

Q: Why not a number?
A: This gives everyone a general idea without being specific and making it a point of contention.

Q: Who gives Skill?
A: A group of anonymous people will/have been hand selected by the moderators to give out Skill.

Q: Why did I get positive/negative Skill?
A: In your control panel you can see the comments left with each point of Skill. It's feedback as to why it was given.

Q: Why do I see a reputation icon on all my posts but no one else's?
A: Basically if you click it it gives you your total reputation as well as the specific reputation that was left for that specific post (if any). We still wanted to have reputation be mostly personal.

Q: When will this battlestatio I mean system be fully operational?
A: Soon.

Q: I have other questions.
A: Ask away.
