New Features

[Phantom]

There are a few new features that have been added to the site, one of these is new ranks, and this picture will explain how many points (A.K.A. ---- brains) you need to become whatever rank.

The Third feature is the "Bump Button" this will cause the topic (I think you can only do it on your topics) to turn into *new* again, making it more likely to be looked at, and it seems like you can only do this if the topic hasn't been looked at in a while, to avoid abuse of the feature.

Ok, really stupid question, but how do you give brains? I've read really helpful posts and wanted to give brains for them, but i couldnt figure out how.

I'll try and explain this as best as I can.

The image above shows you the reputation settings that we currently have setup. The above settings determine how many reputation points you can give to another user (positive or negative).

Now for the case that you said - you recieved +3.4 for your post. First thing is that the number of points we display on each post is divided by 10. So in reality you recieved +34 reputation points ..... that divided by 10 is +3.4 that is displayed on the forum post.

Coming back to the +34 that you got .... as you can see from the image the maximum number of reputation points that anyone can give is 10 (maximum reputation power allowed). So 3 people who had maximum reputation gave you +10 each so that accounts for +30. And I say this by looking at the logs that tell me all reputation points awarded. Every moderator and admin has access to this information. So it is not an assumption.

Now that leaves us to only account for the remaining +4 rep. One of the user that gave you reputation was new on this site. At the time that they gave you reputation they were signed up on the site for 1 day, made 3 posts and had not received any reputation from other users on this site. So again referencing the image I posted above you can calculate that particular user's reputation power (at the time they gave rep) -

User had 3 posts so that is 3 reputation power.

Been a user on the site for a day so that's is 1 reputation power.

Add those two their reputation power (again that is how much rep they can give) at the time they rep was 4. The user gave you a positive vote and you got a +4 bringing your total reputation for that post to +34.

Had the same user given you a negative reputation you would have recieved -4 instead of +4 so your total reputation for that post would have been +26 and not +34.

I hope that explains how the reputation system works. I have tried to cover all conditions and scenarios but if you still have any questions regarding the reputation system please feel free to ask.

basically positive votes I just quoted shri for the whole explanation of it.

I don't care if this site is up for 10 years, NOBODY will ever get 15,000 brains. Not even the founder. Shit man, the hightest brains I've seen so far WAS the founder and he only has about 8,000 somethings brains. Why put the mark so high? It really should just be 5,000 for zombie lord and the rest should be lesser numbers because NOBODY will ever reach 15,000 brains. That is of course, if Treyarch keeps this zombie thing going for YEARS to comes...which I TRULY hope they do. I love me some zombie killing action. It's my favorite pass time. Nothings funner than coming home from a hard days work and shooting up a bunch of puss bags with a Commando...or going online with W@W and playing Der Riese with a bunch of randoms who SUCK so bad that I have to carry them to round 9...which (by the way) makes me feel pretty good. I just hate it when I get a bunch of randoms who's main objective is to rape the box. That seems to be all randoms do. I don't even hit the box until round 8 or 9. Ok I'm rambling. I've been drinking so don't flame...IT'S THE 4TH OF JULY!!! I'M ALOUD TO DRINK OK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
