What with the recent forum update and all, there are a few new features that I, and probably at least several others, are still wondering as to the function of. The biggest one, for me at least, is this whole 'Reputation' business. While I assume it's some sort of rating system, I can't find any sort of 'Rate Me' button, which begs the question, "How does one increase or decrease one's reputation if there's no visible means to do so?" So, here's the obligatory 'WTF' thread. Enjoy.

The new reputation system is pretty cool. If someone makes a good and useful post, you can show your support to their efforts and bump them up a reputation point. It really adds up over time if everyone participates. If someone makes a not so helpful post, or flames, spams, or degrades, you can down their reputation! I drew a vector directional field to help visualize the experience.

BUT WAIT: IF YOU REPLY NOW, YOU CAN QUOTE THIS POST!!! THAT'S *TWO* POSTS FOR THE PRICE OF ONE!!!

Happy birthday Inoue! :D ...

The reason I am asking this is, because I see random people sitting in a corner during attacks, and it makes it hard to to tell who is alive and who isn't... also, it is excess bandwidth that could be spared.
