Questions about forum

[codfish107]

I'm new to the forums and have a few questions. 

How is your profile/community status thing determined? Like the wolfbait, pathfinder, prepper, ect.

How does the reputation system work?

Sorry if this has been asked recently, couldn't find anything.

Hi. Community status depends on the number of posts you made (I think). You can only give +1 rep to any single post, but other than that there are no prerequisites for rep.

Like that, I just gave you a rep boost by clicking the little green heart next to your post. You’ll get more rep boost as you post more. Your welcome

Yes, as pointed out, the profile status (Pathfinder, etc) is simply reflecting your post count. The "reputation system," the little green arrow on each post is just a small recognition, a way to show some interest or appreciation in a particular post.

Okay, thank you @omoon66 and @Patrick Carlson
