You might have noticed that the User Points Bar disappeared a few weeks ago. I removed this to work on a complete overhaul of the Reputation and User Points System.
The KI Points System was implemented a few weeks ago to replace the User Points system. This is an automated system that determines a number based on many aspects of how you contribute to KI. You will see your User Points total right below your post count in all your posts and in your profile as well.
Well up until now the actual Staff Reputation, or reputation points that Moderators and Administrators have given you, has been disabled. Today I re-enabled it and it now includes Rep Boxes. If you impress a moderator or administrator they may give you another box. These boxes are displayed under your stars in all your posts and in your profile. Here is a picture of one of my posts. You will see 5 green boxes underneath my red spinning star. Those Green Boxes are the Rep Boxes.
You may ask is 5 green boxes the maximum amount of boxes you can get? Well the simple answer is no. There are many more boxes to be earned but I will let them be a surprise.
Have fun trying to get those rep boxes. Remember the only way you can get some is by impressing a Mod or Admin so start posting some nice posts and you never know what might happen.
