I have added a new scoring system to the forum; it's called "reputation".

Basically, a particularly entertaining or helpful post in a thread can be "thanked" (don't do this lightly because I think only one post per thread can be "thanked" and it gives the poster quite a points boost. Use it as a way to give credit where it's due.) and any number of posts can get positive and negative feedback. All you have to do is to click on the + or - to the upper right of the message.

The best place to get feedback is on the new review section, where you get +3 for positive feedback and +7 for being thanked.

Please don't abuse this system. If I find that members are being continually thanked without good reason or are receiving negative feedback for doing nothing wrong, I will take action. This site is meant to be a friendly one.
