Reputation Scales

[Duffman]

EDIT 1: Ok as of now this thread has no starting post. I decided to edit out what i wrote because i don't know how the reputation scales work yet. When i do I'll rewrite my first post. Have a nice day :).

EDIT 2: Because noone can see someones reputation other than see your own reputation I don't object anymore. There won't be prejudice. However it does serve the purpose to inflate heads. I've changed from morally against it to... meh.

[Jeffery]

Not sure about this. I just repped you, but can not find a place to see your rep.

I think only the recipient can see who repped them and what it says.

Also, you can not rep the same person over and over. You have to spread it around a little.

Seems you start with a base of 10 rep points, and eah post starts on an even scale.

[Duffman]

In your profile there is somehting that says referrals... But mine still says 0. Perhaps the button is there but it isn't working yet, or takes a while to register.

[Jeffery]

Click on your own rep button in the first post of this thread.

[Jeffery]

Reps (BTW- they are the scales in the lower left of each persons post) seem to work like this.

You an "Rep" someones post. Rate it good or bad, and why. This gives or takes Rep points away from the user.
But only THEY can seem to see the rep points. To see your own rep, click the button in one of your own posts. It also shows all comments about your post that people have made while repping you. It does NOT show the name of the person though.
In the end, I think people will screw with the system more then use it properly though.

[S_K_O_F]

we all know who will do the screwing

[Thargor]

if you click on the little scales next to someone's post(not your own) you can give them positive or negative feedback, which then influences their reputation, which is then accessible from the little green rectangle. If you click on your own, it tells you your balance of fame.

[Jeffery]

Me and duff already taled about this. And if you click on your user cp you see youir total rep, and recent comments. Also, others can not see your rep, only you.

[Jeffery]

we all know who will do the screwing
You starting now S_K_O_F?

It seems kinda wasteful to me, since people will misuse it.

[Thargor]

Me and duff already taled about this. And if you click on your user cp you see youir total rep, and recent comments. Also, others can not see your rep, only you.

ALSO....

You cannot see who wrote the comments. And you CAN see the general idea of someones reputation by holding the pointer over their green rectangle, just not the exact total.

Edit: all please move their post to the other thread on this...nothing to see here, move along....

[Walrus]

yeah, people will abuse it. it might be an idea if only people with x posts could access it?

some kind of filter at least, to stop people making countless new acounts just to get their own reputation up on their main account

[Dark-Death]

Won't that idea just increase spam threads?
Which is what we dont want.

[Excaliber]

WoW! that is pretty cool. Good discovery.

I would give you some positive feedback but i am sad to say that my computer wont let me so, sorry.

[Thargor]

because you can see the script assigned to whatever category you or anyone else falls into, this could be fun, depending on what the vb people have put in there. So far i have seen three different levels: at 9 points i saw that I was an unknown factor at this point, at ten points with at least 1 poisitive i saw that i was on a distinguished road. before receiving any it said I had a friend factor of zero LOL.

[Kalamady]

Everyone boost my rep.

[Snarr]

Doctor the operation was a success.
But do try to read around before making a new thread.

[Walrus]

are reputation and friend factor related?

and i think everyone "starts" on 10 rep. points and 0 friend factor

[DeadFishGuy]

There is always someone who will abuse the system.

I say, if someone has a really high reputation, but is obviously an idiot, ban them.

[Excaliber]

I would rep all of you guys but my computer refuses to let me sorry.

I think that if not abused that this feature will be pretty good.


my friend factor is 0 :o

[Thargor]

are reputation and friend factor related?

and i think everyone "starts" on 10 rep. points and 0 friend factor


Yes "Zero Friend Factor" IS the base Reputation. You loose the Zero friend factor as soon as someone gives you a Rep.

[theburning]

Does it show you who added to your reputation?

[Jeffery]

Does it show you who added to your reputation?

No. But if you click the scales on your own post, it gives you current rep, and any rep comments made on that post. If you go to your usercp, all recent rep comments are listed.

[Excaliber]

This is maly confusing me mostly because my computer is being very queer.

Julia i greatly wish to add to your rep

[Tama Drummer]

I don't understand it... so I'll ignore it.

[Jeffery]

Also note:

When repping someone you can only rep them once per some time period.

Also, there is a limit to how many times you can Rep total per day. I think the number is either 10 or 15 people.

[DeadFishGuy]

Someone commented on my previous post with the words "I will abuse you Mr."

I'm scared. Partially by the actual comment and partially by how I can never know who did it . . . .

[Cavour]

I don't understand it...
This post character limit shit makes it so I can't JUST post a quote... That's upsetting. :(

[Excaliber]

some one repped me saying ''get a new computer silly'' which i will do soon but the bad part of it was that i got a negative feedback not positive.

that makes me sad

[Jeffery]

This post character limit shit makes it so I can't JUST post a quote... That's upsetting. :(

new forum..... hurting brain....

[Cavour]

1234567890

Thanks for the color code!

[xyxaxyz2]

Reputation cannot be quantified. Bad idea. Tons of potential for abuse. Way too direct.

[Excaliber]

1234567890

Jeff about 2 minutesd ago i was wondering who would figure out the color codes and then there you go again *wraps head in tin foil to block incoming mind rays*

[Jeffery]

Reputation cannot be quantified. Bad idea. Tons of potential for abuse. Way too direct.
The reputation is meaningless here. At best, another person can get a general sense of your rep by hovering the mouse over the little greeen square below your avatar.

No one can ever see your actual Rep number, or rep left to you by another.

In the end, I think it is a new toy people will goof off with, and then forget is there. I don;t think it will have ANY effect, good or bad, on the forum or how people do things.

[Cavour]

Please, no one is gonna goof off with it...

Hey Jeff... I'll give you some rep if you give me some rep...

[AssassinOfLords]

The whole rep idea is interesting, just the fact that it can so easily be abused is what makes the system flawed.

Agreed. It's the idea I object too more than the meaningless implementation.

[Jeffery]

Agreed. It's the idea I object too more than the meaningless implementation.
It came with the new board version. it would be more trouble to shut it off than it's worth.

And sorry cav, I am all repped out for the next 24 hours.....

Stupid limits.

[Excaliber]

i am sad my rep is negative *sob**sob*

ok Jeff ill give you some because you found out the color code.

[Cavour]

And sorry cav, I am all repped out for the next 24 hours....
Oh well... maybe tomorrow... It says I'm on a distinguished road right now... Not really sure what to make of that.

[Excaliber]

Cav just cause your like that ill rep you...

[ArcPaladinZero]

And to believe I just now voted on this poll. :rolleyes:

But of course you all know what I picked. :D

[*The Nothing*]

I like this reputation thing....it might not be soo great for me..heh.

But I like it.

*TN*

[ArcPaladinZero]

Okay this thing is nuts. But... who just did that? At least it could say who its from. Rawr.

[Excaliber]

APZ your on that distinguished road. Congrats!

I still have to earn the money to buy the map to find that path that leads to that road.

[ArcPaladinZero]

Ah, TN you make a good point. When sending something to someone's rep just simple put "message followed by -name"
Excalibur, I'll help you out. I find this a bit on the amusing side. But that's about it.

[*The Nothing*]

I just like to know who is giving me a rep...lol.

*TN*

Ah ha! Now I know how that works as well.

[Excaliber]

I would like to know who said ''get a new comp silly'' and i will follow that advice

Thank you APZ for showing me your map.

Takes a break in the middle of the road to play TAO

It was me.... :eek:

:eek:
Well im taking yuor advice Jef i soon shall have a new laptop

[Walrus]

i just repped someone who will remain nameless in the CAU forum, yet their FF (friend factor) is still 0 to me



also i got a comment saying "mooooo". im worried.

[Cavour]

Where does it alert you of a reppy thingy?! I haven't gotten any of those... or comments for that matter.

[Jeffery]

See that little green square below your avatar. Hover your mouse there to see an overall for anyone.
Click on the scales below that to see your rep points, and any comments left on that partucular post.
Click on UserCP and it will show your rep, and any recent rep's left for you.

[zzzaacckk]

sounds kool to me but why would people waste their time just raiseing ppl's reps??? sounds ok tho...

[S_K_O_F]

this is an interesting feature...but is pointless

Gracias. :cool:

I hate these new faces... They have those shitty, rough white outlines, and they just aren't as cool, and I just need some more statements, and commas, in this sentence, because I'm over-tired, but I don't know if over-tired should have a hyphen, or a space, or neither, or not, so yeah, dude.

[xyxaxyz2]

"Distinguished road." :rolleyes:

I'm boycotting the current smilies until they improve.

Nice CUT, Walrus.

[Walrus]

well with the new CP i cant find where to change it. i didnt mean to have it on really

[Cavour]

What the hell's the deal with some people having + next to their name on the list of who's on, some people having dark gold names, some having pale yellow, etc.? This crap is confusing.

[Leigh]

"Distinguished road." :rolleyes:

I JUST HATE the new smilies too!!!!! The old ones were MUCH better except for that winking face...

[Jeffery]

Pale yellow are regular members. The gold ones are those upgraded to gold status in the forums. Never seen a +, but I have a * next to mine, probably to signify being invisable. Mods and/or Admins prolly see the invis with the * for everyone online who is invis.

[Excaliber]

I liked the old smilies when you highlighted the one with the mile wide smile he looked like a farmer

[ArcPaladinZero]

New features that are pointless but most certainly fun to say the least. I think this is making the community a lot brighter... well as long as it's never yellow again. :)

word

[Excaliber]

about 3 hours ago i noticed that the forums arent yellow anymore

the god thing about the new forums are the color changes now we have a wider selection

Dayamn, you have all the answers today.
Gracias again. :)

[Utamaro]

+ means the person is on your forum buddy list.

[Jeffery]

Dayamn, you have all the answers today.
Gracias again. :)
I was here at 6 in the morning when he made the switch to the new color. Then me and Duff played with some of the new functions.

I can no longer Rep people. Seems there is a limit there.

[T3km4n]

Well, my rep is 3?

[ArcPaladinZero]

It says I have 13 rep points. I guess that's good...?

[Jeffery]

You start with a rep of 10. Go to your User CP to see what comments and rep's people have been leaving you.

[Warcow]

Ick, I dislike this idea, if someone has an enemy, or they get into one flame war with someone, they will bring down the other persons reputation just out of spite. I wish people wern't this petty, but face it, they are.

[Jeffery]

Ick, I dislike this idea, if someone has an enemy, or they get into one flame war with someone, they will bring down the other persons reputation just out of spite. I wish people wern't this petty, but face it, they are.

Yes, but you can only bring down their rep once per some unknown time period. That limits repeated bad reps. And since the ACTUAL rep is hidden from everyone, no one knows what anyones overall rep truly is.
Besides, in a couple of weeks, everyone will have rediculously high reps, and one or two bad ones will not affect them at all.

[Warcow]

Hwo do we see what comments people have left us in the user cp?

[xerent]

It has nothing to do about pettyness. It has nothing to do about eliteness, or if someone is better than another.

It's about what you make it about.

[Warcow]

WEll Xerent that earned you a reputation point :p

[MANSLAUGHTER1]

I think it is a new apportunity and might be fun. Yes the flaw is that it might get abused, but hopefully no one would be like a baby and abuse people's reps.

[Duffman]

everyone will have rediculously high reps
Exactly. And the only purpose of that is to inflate ego's. I think it would be a cool feature weren't people going to abuse it.

Warcow - Just in the Mainscreen of User CP. If they left a comment it'll be next to the green/grey dot.

[Walrus]

yeah, people will abuse it. it might be an idea if only people with x posts could access it?

some kind of filter at least, to stop people making countless new acounts just to get their own reputation up on their main account



eg i got a negative rep from that post, without even a comment.

[sOOisiDal]

It is NOT a good addition.

Coming from a forum that used to use it. it was misused by spammers and idiots.

No good can come from this.

[Jeffery]

It is NOT a good addition.

Coming from a forum that used to use it. it was misused by spammers and idiots.

No good can come from this.
Spammers can not abuse it, since there is a limited number of Reps per day, as well as a limit of one rep per person per period.
And since it means nothing overall, most people will forget it exists anyways.

[Elentari]

Well, I find it quite fun! I like to run around and boost people's points :).

Edit: At least, it's a blast until you get the little sign that says, "You have given out too much Reputation in the last 24 hours, try again later." :(.

[Excaliber]

they all just want to get on the distinguished road dont they*looks back and spits ointhe ground*

is the highest point you can get on the distinguished road?

[theburning]

So. Who has the highest reputation points?

[Darrington]

Obviously you do, theburning. Jeez.

[theburning]

I really doubt it.
I only have 19. :(

EDIT: 18. Someone took it down today. :(

[Jeffery]

"Your reputation on this post is Even.
You have 35 Reputation points."
:)

And it does suck that it allows people to hide who they are when they do it. I have started to put my name on it each time, and actually asked that all Netjak members follow in doing that.
I only hit the negative a couple of times, once to Ex to see what it did (sorry man) and a couple for certain persons who are also just bad people.

You say this now.

Just wait.

[Warcow]

It's hilarious how 8 people said I am APZ . . . .

[Jeffery]

You say this now.

Just wait.
Wait for what? Since 1) No one else sees what you leave and 2) There are limits to what you can leave and 3) No one else sees what you leave
Why would a spammer do it? 1) They can not spam someone, and have it seen, 2) they can not spam one person more than once a day and 3) they have limited number of reps a day, preventing spam

The assholes will abuse it, not the spammers. And I HAVE seen Reps used before on other forums, and all this holds true. It is a toy new peoiple will play with, and everyone else ignore.

[bludhoundz]

It can't be hurtful, if spammers abuse it, ignore it. If nobody abuses it, use it :)

[theburning]

Wait for what? Since 1) No one else sees what you leave and 2) There are limits to what you can leave and 3) No one else sees what you leave

That's not true! ;)

I now know who gave me negative.
And...I'm totally not surprised by who it is.

[Jeffery]

Did they sign their name? That is the only way for Norms to see it.

And Ele gave me negative just to call me a brat.

[theburning]

I can view who's given who feedback with the assistance of not normal user powers.

[cs_zero]

"non normal user powers"....i wonder what those might be. :)

[Jeffery]

See. Us Normies just aren;t as good now are we?

[ArcPaladinZero]

It's hilarious how 8 people said I am APZ . . . .


There's only one real APZ. :cool:

[Darrington]

There's only one real APZ. :cool:

Thats actually really really quite funny.

But ya. I got a few negatives. *shrugs* Really, doesnt matter in the least. Ill start leaving my name and reasoning too. Good idea Jeff.

[nomar]

Ran out of respect points to give out. Oh well, guess i gotta wait 24 hours.

[Hugh Junit]

We should have " Rekognize " and " Fer Reelz " points, too.
You feel me, dawg?

[nomar]

Word.

[Dark-Death]

I got a negative from kalamdy saying "Im going to ruin your rep" hahahaha.

[Elentari]

Jeff! I didn't just give it to you to call you a brat, you had more points than me, and I wouldn't stand for it :p. That's the only negative I've given out, though. :cool:

[Jeffery]

Yeah. Go to the memberlist, and click on the Reputatiopn category. It shows top to bottom the reps.

[ArcPaladinZero]

Wow, check it out. There's apparently 11 of me.

[Duffman]

Come on guys... only 3 more points and a grey will be on the top of list. Vote Duff #1.

Correction APZ... 10 people who want to be you, 1 you :p

[Hugh Junit]

How can you tell how many points you need, Duff?

[Duffman]

IRC #TAO. It's so great there. You should swing by Hugh. Everyone there lacks a strong father figure :p

Jeff has 34... I have 32.

EDIT - 31. Kal is trying to piss me off so he voted against me. So if you don't like Kal... Vote Duffman :p.

[Hugh Junit]

Sounds like a hoot.
I just checked mine. I have 23.
Don't get too comfy, you two.
Here comes Hugh!

* slowly reaches for beer *

[Kalamady]

EDIT - 31. Kal is trying to piss me off so he voted against me. So if you don't like Kal... Vote Duffman :p.


:cool:

[Jeffery]

Big surprise on that one.

[Snarr]

The problem comes it's not always what you make it be because it could have advantages or disadvantages in forums. I hope these features aren't applies, otherwise it's just a toy to mess with.

I acually thought it was sort of a PM system until I realised it was anonymous, I was wondering why no one replied... Relating it to the green dots isn't evident either, if you didn't know the green dots are sort of a reputation meter.

Upon further reading on the VBA forums it turns out to be a much more complicated feature with reputation altering points (basically if you have more reputation then the reputation you give matters more) and abilities to join different groups. Overall it gave me a headach and took me ages with my 56k (god I hate 56k) but here is what I got:

vBulletin's user reputation system provides a way of rating users based on the quality of their posts. Users on your forums can add or subtract reputation points from other users by clicking the reputation link in their posts. You can set restrictions on the giving and taking away of reputation points by users in your vBulletin options.

User reputations allow the users in your community to tell vBulletin which users are quality and which users are not. And in response to user feedback, vBulletin has the ability to label and reward users for the quality of their posts, as is indicated by their reputation.

You can label quality users by defining reputation levels in the User Reputation Manager. User reputation levels work very similar to user titles and user ranks in that they are an indicator of status that are displayed next to names in posts.

You can reward quality users by creating promotions on the Promotions page. Promotions are used to change a user's group memberships when they meet certain conditions, one of which can be their reputation level. Because forum permissions can be controlled with group memberships, a user's reputation in conjunction with promotions can be used to control a user's forum permissions. And so by using a combination of user reputations, promotions, and group permissions, you can enable your community to reward and punish good and bad posters on your forums.

Promotions are whatever you create them to be. If you setup a promotion that promotes users to a specific group, then you tell users that if you reach a certain reputation level then they will be granted the permissions granted by the usergroup.

So not quite your PM system as it goes deeper then that. I'm not sure which of these features apply to our forums though so don't ask me.

Which brings me to wonder what DID happen to the quick PM button and why does the reputation now show in the main user CP window instead of private messeges?

As long as no onen places too much importance too it it could be fun I guess?

What about the anonymity of it, it can be disabled should it ?

[Jeffery]

Snarr, click your mouse on someone name above their avatar, and a list of links appear, one of which is PM.
The PM's do appear in the UserCP, but as a link jow, with their own pages. The reputation shows there so that you can see the last few Reps you have, and what threads they are from.

I do not see this being a seriously used system, mainly based on the maturity level of the users here. Bad reps will be used just to mess with people, and people will beg for rep (and receive them) for random things, not necesarily just for good posts.
But it IS a nice way to send someone a little side note saying "nice post"

BTW:

* Register Date Factor - longer registered = more power
* Post Count Factor - more posts = more power
* Reputation Point Factor - more reputation points = more power

[Jeffery]

What about the anonymity of it, it can be disabled should it ?

This is controlled by usergroup. In the Usergroup Manager look in General Permissions and you'll see the option to turn on or off Can See Who Left User Ratings

[Snarr]

Takes a while to get used to the new forums, overall I'm very impressed with them, even though as a mod the confuse the hell out of me - I don't seem to be finding anything. I'm looking forward for more of the features they have in store to be applied here.

Now I'm off to rep down Punishment Co. and Ele :p

[Jeffery]

I have a slight advantage of already being part of a VB3 board elsewhere. They scrapped the rep system, as people just mess with it.
Personally, I think the comments SHOULD have the name attached. If you are leaving a negative response, you should be able to admit it at least.

[Duffman]

Oh Jeff you know i just want to beat you :) thats all. The only reason me and you are at the top was because we were online when it got introduced so we played with it.

[Snarr]

This is controlled by usergroup. In the Usergroup Manager look in General Permissions and you'll see the option to turn on or off Can See Who Left User Ratings

As far as I know it can only be changed by Bills but like I said I'm having a hard time with the mods options. And even if it CAN be changed by mods it's not up to us to decide but up to Bills alone. Personally I think the anonymity will allow abuse, but to be honest most people including myself haven't been using it very seriously.

Sorry Puni, but you ARE a brat. And sorry Julia but you are a meany, I wanted to close that one and you beat me to it by 20 seconds (though you did seem to take it much more personally then it meant... If it bothered you I'm sorry I guess? Don't worry 'meany' was hardly my serious criticism). And Ele you got what you deserved! And Hassem I'm so NOT sorry for you.

*Sigh* got to get use to spell checking BEFORE I post from now on.

[Jeffery]

Oh Jeff you know i just want to beat you :) thats all. The only reason me and you are at the top was because we were online when it got introduced so we played with it.
Feel free to beat me.

And Snarr, I agree it is a Bills decision. And only he can do it. But he really should.

[Jonspen]

I voted yes...Becasue if noone else can see it but you...Then you can tell if the posts you make are incorrect/good.

[Duffman]

Feel free to beat me.

And Snarr, I agree it is a Bills decision. And only he can do it. But he really should.
Does anoyomity really matter that much when, as you say, it's one purpose is having a new toy? I mean it's nice to know who voted for you but it doesn't matter.

[Jeffery]

If is to be useful at all, then taking responsability for your actions is paramount.

If it is a useless toy, then why not just remove it?

[Duffman]

It's useful is giving someone a thumbs up or down for their post but letting someone know who did it is useless. If a person wants to take responsibility then they can write their name. If someone doesn't want to take responsibility then they don't have too...

[Snarr]

I don't want to take responsibility for paying the bills, going to university or if I get a girl pregnant. Can I not take it too please?

Meh, I guess this allows more flexibility but people will feel more free to abuse it. Which is not a problem either to be honest. All I'm saying, if it's not anonymous it can actually mean something rather then be a useless toy, but as it stands I doubt it will ever mean something.

[Jeffery]

And as such, assholes like Kal will just give random negatives, and hence, negate the usefulness of the feature. If a feature is not useful, it's not needed. If you want a n00b forum full of useless features, go visit taoforums.com

[Duffman]

What do you gain from Kal giving you negative rep and knowing it from Kal giving you negative rep and not knowing it...

The fact is Anoyomous or not the potential to abuse it is the same. Whether people are going to take responsibilty for who and how they rep should be up to them.

[Snarr]

I'd hardly qualify it as assholeness, not everyone takes it as serious that's all. I'd hardly call Ele a bitch for saying you ar a brat she's just joking around a bit, and god knows I've been messing too. Get my train of though? Besides the feature has JUST been implemented obviously people will mess with it a bit before regularisation of its use.

[Jeffery]

The point is, fewer people will act like idiots if their name is attached.

And I would call Kal's behavior assholeness. That's what 90% of his behavior is.

[Snarr]

What do you gain from Kal giving you negative rep and knowing it from Kal giving you negative rep and not knowing it...

The fact is Anoyomous or not the potential to abuse it is the same. Whether people are going to take responsibilty for who and how they rep should be up to them.

You're obviously not a Freudian thinker. It's a generally except concept that the most effective deterrent is what people think of you and shame. The example used by Freud was that if you were invisible wouldn't you allow yourself to do things that you wouldn't do when you are not invisible just because now no one knew you did it? It's fits beautifully here too.

[Duffman]

I suppose it's true... I guess i just see it as different. I don't care who sees me do what. Unless it's criminal.

Just for the record this is what kal said when he repped me: "Nah nah nah nah nah! I made your rep low! That should piss you off!!! Eff greys!! --Kalamady"

Didn't deter him.

[Jeffery]

That's because, as I said, Kal is an asshole. But normal people are not.

A normal person will feel free to do things even they think is a bit wrong, as long as no one knows they did it. But if they KNOW their name is attached to it, they are much less likely to do it.

[Duffman]

Point. I haven't seen anyone abuse it yet though. But if abuse does come i would have to agree as say don't make it anoyomous.

Well you never know because you are not faced in the situation, wouldn't you go in the girl's changing room if you could?

Anyway ok Kal does seem a bit of an idiot, I thought he was just joking but it seems his pokes are on a racial basis. But like I said not everyone treats this seriously (yet?) so they joke around with it.

[theburning]

Obviously if Jeffery is in the lead people are just messing around! :)

[Kalamady]

I love laughing at the person in last place. Current residence: Spit_101.

[Jeffery]

I doubt Kal is doing based on racial. He's just being an ass to Duff.

And yes, people are just screwing around.

And Spit is in his proper place.

I mean a gold-grey racial.

[Kalamady]

The story behind Duff was that I told him I could piss anyone off in less than 10 seconds. He said "piss me off then" but sadly, I don't know him enough to be able to do that. So, I just lowered his rep. :cool:

[Jeffery]

I know you are, But me having the highest Rep proves that the system doesnlt work.

And I knew the racial lines you were refering to Snarr. But kal is an ass to golds just as often as greys.

[Foundation]

hi snarr

[Kalamady]

hi snarr
Idiot.

Haha 'but sadly'? You stormed off in a fit. And that only took me 7 seconds :) *flexes muscles*

[roody poo]

Sorry if I missed the obvious somewhere, but is there a way to review all the reputation points you gave out?

[theburning]

I'm not sure if there's a way to see all the points you've given out?

The only thing I know of is in your user CP.
It shows you what your repuatation points are as well as the comments which have been given by people.
