I receive a lot of questions about the new reputation and the points system.

Points System

The points system is a system based on different criteria and allowing users to evaluate themself or even to compete.


How are points calculated?
- Points generated by the number of posts
- Points generated by the number of topics created
- Reputation points
- Points generated by the registration date of the member
- Points generated by the number of message on his profile


Reputation system

The reputation system, is a sub part of the points system. It also works with points.

In each posts that you have started, a Thanks button will be apparent. You should wait until you get a few responses, and then decide who gave the best answer. Then you can give him reputation by choosing his response as the best response. You can only do this once per thread that you have started, so, use it sparingly. In other words, the button "Thanks" allows a member who created a topic to thank the user who wrote the message that it considers most appropriate. The post then appears highlighted.
It is also influenced by the number of I Like's (Thumbs up's) you receive.
