So does the rep points start at 0 or 10? When I had my first rep 2 weeks ago I had 11 points.

Also, when somebody has some stars under his name, what does it mean?

The stars are basically how many posts you make, you get one after so many posts. Not sure where the mark is for the first star.

I dont ever bother giving any reputation points to anybody. I dont think anybody gives me any either. But who knows, maybe they have gave me reputation points.

My karma ran over your dogma.

I've found you can't give rep points to anyone twice in a row either.

There are certain limits put in place on the whole points system to avoid abuse such as boosting Rep Points by getting friends to repeatedly "pad" your positive Rep, or "Rep bombing" someone with negative points because you have some childish grudge against them. Limiting how frequently (note that I said "how frequently", and not "how many times") you can give someone points is part of this.

Here's a link to an older discussion we had about the whole deal:

However, if I've been working on a thread with you already, and seem to have "forgotten" your thread, please do send me a message. I try not to let things slip through the cracks, but it does happen sometimes.

When you join DaniWeb, you start with 10 rep points, and it can go up or down from there depending on the feedback you're given (yes, it can go into the negative numbers). When someone adds to (or takes away from) your rep, the amount that it changes depends on the rep of the person giving it; I'm not sure of the scale, but someone who has 10 or less will not change your score -- 11 or more will add at least 1 point, and the highest I've seen added at one time is 5 points.

Actually, I don't. When I first started here, rep points were displayed as numbers just like your post count. Somewhere in there the points rating display was changed to the green boxes, but I can't remember how many actual points I had when that happened.

You can see your exact points in your control panel on the top right of the rated threads.
