Question's, unsure where to post.

[BlightWarden]

i have a few questions on things and i am unsure where to post this so please forgive my noobEness. Thanks.

Ok.1. can someone direct me to a link about rep? no idea how to give it or how to get it.

2. i noticed i had 1 of those little green bars and now its purple. i also had a differant title but now i'm bumped back down? i believe this is because i have failed to give rep which leads to my first question.

3. can rep be taken away based on opinions in the general discussion/ headlines area? i know my opinions differ from many others and i will avoid that section completely if i get punished for being honest.

* i have been here for awhile, been trying to learn the editor as best i can but its simply a bit to advanced for me on certain things, but i keep trying.
i need a bit more practice before i feel like i can help.

thanks for any and all replies.

PS: i really like this smiley->:banghead:

2. Purple just means that you have 0 rep. The more posts you have, the more the user title goes up. At an interval.

3. Yes, but those are people that are probably just weird. Unless you're flaming or misbehaving, you won't get in much trouble.

Rep is just to award you on how good you've been. Don't worry about -rep too much, but take it into consideration and learn not to do that again. Rep is a powerful tool, and is not to be abused.

May the force be with you young grasshopper.
