There is a little scale right next to their status. If you click that one you can choose whether you want to approve or disapprove of their post. Even if they have it disabled you can add or deduct rep.
That's all I know about it, apparently it's possible to give some sort of blank rep where no points are added or deducted but I don't know how that works.

Under the poster's name, there a bit of information about them (including their rep). Below THAT, are three little buttons. One shows if they're online or not. The next one over is a little balance. Click on that, and it will drop down a little box. In there, you can either approve or disapprove of their post, and write a reason if you want to.
While it is considered socially polite here to sign the reason and rep, you are under no obligation to do so.

That was, as I figured, incredibly obvious once it was pointed out. I had just been clicking the wrong thing. Thanks!

Reputation What is reputation? Reputation is a way of rating users depending on the quality of their posts. If the administrators have enabled reputation, then the reputation icon will be visible in posts. Reputation may be positive  , negative  or neutral  . Negative reputation may only be given if the administrator has enabled this. Neutral reputation is only given when the person giving reputation does not meet the criteria set by the administrator to affect someone else's reputation.... |

Anybody with a negative rep will surely fall below that minimum.

Your "rep power" is dependent upon:
- Your registration date.
- Your post Count.
- Your current Reputation value.
However, you must first meet the criteria to give rep, which is:
- Minimum post count.
- Minimum reputation value.
If you do not meet the criteria to give rep, your rep will show up as Gray/Neutral.
Also:
- Even if your rep is "hidden", you can still give rep and people can still rep you. The only difference is that nobody sees your rep value. You can still see your own numeric rep value by looking in your User CP.
- You can not rep the same post more than once.
- You can not rep the same person again until you rep X number of other people first.
- You can only give out rep X times per 24 hour rolling period.
(Almost all of these requirements can be changed by forum administration)

Now we're at it. Why are some bubbles bright green and some dark green? Neg rep that wasn't enough to fully take the green rep away?

I have a sneaking suspicion that our local Mountainview Mods have little to none direct control over the forum settings. More than likely, they have to put in a request with the web administrator located in Austin or Seattle to fiddle with the dials. And judging by how long it took to get the first round of forum 'patches' to come in and fix some admin-level problems... I'm guessing it would be a real chore to make other admin level settings changes.

Paragon Studios is still part of NCSoft and there are administrative services provided by the parent company: Web Services; Game Mastering; and QA. (Although, I think they may have one or two QA staff on-site, but the rest is still farmed out.)|

I know Web Services are at the NCSoft parent studio (and always have been) because all the other NCSoft web sites use the same forum software. Moderation of the web site and forums has been brought under one roof, but the servers are located elsewhere and they serve all the NCSoft subsidiaries.
And some services may be contracted out to a third party. Obviously their East Coast Servers can't be maintained by staff at Mountainview.

Now that you know how to do it you should celebrate by increasing all the people's reps that helped on the thread :P

They might have changed it recently, but I guarantee you it was not changed during set-up. I've gotten multiple signed +rep's where the expected rep value based on their stats matched the actual rep exactly.

We could do it again to see if they changed since then, but I *highly* doubt it, considering how little effort has gone into tweaking the forums (took what, a couple weeks to get a single bugfix session okayed?)

As much as -repping people has become abused by people using rep as a popularity contest (which, okay, they do with +rep too, but there are fewer (if any) harmful comments on +rep posts) I'm surprised the mods haven't turned -rep off entirely.

How do I add to or reduce someone's reputation on the boards (assuming they have it enabled)? I can't seem to find this information anywhere.
