Green dot, says infected?

MyNameDidntFit · January 29th, 2008, 06:02 AM

I just noticed something... If I mouse over the green dot beneath anyone's avatar/info it says "*name* is infected"... What's with that??

I moved this here into the feedback forum so that we didn't go off topic and so it may also be helpful to other members in the future should they have the same question.

Rep is forum of internet karma. A way to express a good post or one you disagreed with. For example. If someone makes a good post you can choose to give them rep (if you have enough rep power) by selecting the +Rep icon under your avatar.

Example:

You can do the same if someone posted something that you disagree with to the point where you feel like giving that person 'negative rep'. It's a simple feature, but can be confusing.

I'll try to dig up a better guide. I thought there was one in the FAQ, but there isn't.

OK, I knew about the rep I just didn't know that the green dot tied into it. So, with more rep do you get more dots?

You confused the shit out of me with the moving of this into a thread by the way. I was like "What? I made a thread? Argh! I don't remember!"... But its all good now

Yes. More rep = more dots and a different message. There are about 21 messages in all ranging from "is worm food" up to "is a legendary zombie hunter-killer and immune to infection". Post good messages, you get good rep, you get to see what's in between.

MyNameDidntFit · January 31st, 2008, 04:23 AM

So... Does that mean you can get 21 dots??

Leroy · January 31st, 2008, 04:47 AM

Pretty much.

AzH · January 31st, 2008, 10:11 AM

No, it means there are 21 different levels. The number of dots corresponds to a different number of levels.

MyNameDidntFit · February 1st, 2008, 02:04 AM

OK, so I'm going to take a guess and say five dots?

AzH · February 2nd, 2008, 09:36 AM

I guess you'll have to wait to find out.

MyNameDidntFit · February 2nd, 2008, 11:52 AM

Gee now you're just being a tease Alan!

Damnation! I can't give myself rep >.<

bravoleader3 · January 5th, 2009, 10:38 AM

Oh, that's what those dots mean. How much rep per dot then?

AzH · January 5th, 2009, 11:16 AM

I'm not sure, sorry.

RonanP · January 5th, 2009, 03:41 PM

It said i have 10 rep and now I am baffled. So does that mean I was given 10 rep or did I just start with it.

Target Practice · January 5th, 2009, 03:47 PM

I think you start with it, although I may be wrong.

AzH · January 5th, 2009, 07:14 PM

You start with 10.

FaLKoN240 · January 5th, 2009, 09:52 PM

I used to be on a forum with rep, it was something like...

Every 1000 points you got a square, and you got a square every year you were a member of the forum, but it was ultimately removed due to a lot of complaints and constant rep abuse.

MyNameDidntFit · January 6th, 2009, 06:20 AM

Lol Alan hid in the cupboard.

I heard he's coming out soon.

Bu dum.
