Noob!! Jk I asked the same thing. For credits everytime you post it goes up a little and you can bet it all on cybookie. And losE!!! :smile:
Credits are accumulated by participating on the site in a variety of ways - making posts, sending messages, reporting posts, etc. - and can bet under the "CyBookie" tab. So obviously another way to accumulated credits is through good bets, of which I have made surprisingly few.
Reputation is given by the discretion of individual posters. The checkmark at the bottom of posts allows you to give reputation for what you find to be a positive contribution - a good point, a funny remark, whatever.

Yeah - credits are basically Monopoly money :smile: You can also gain credits by participating and succeeding at competitions put on by the moderators. For instance, there's a good chance that come march there will be an NCAA tournament pick'em pool, and the prizes will be credits. And then there are times that credits just appear for you when the site decides it needs to adjust for inflation, or give back to the poor. Kinda like your Aunt Nancy passing you the Monopoly money under the table when your dad and brother's aren't looking...
If you post threads that are absurd, lots of people will post in them and it will increase your credit count
haha - what he means is that if you start a thread that is "popular," it can gain you credits :wink:
That's a good question, I'm not really sure. I believe that you get more points for receiving rep from a highly-reputed individual, but I'm not sure what the math behind it is or how points translate into the green markers.
With the exception of the obvious, what other topics should be avoided for discussion.
This morning I started a thread on politics, and the dawn socialism in America, and it was moved... why??:sad:
Yep, that's why. It was in Off-Topic, when it was clearly a political thread...I moved it.
I couldn't enter the discussion on that topic nor find it afterwards, I thought I did something wrong...

Politics is an opt-in forum. Some people just don't want to go there. You can read the announcement below telling you hot to opt in.

There used to be something called "negative rep" that you could give people when they posted something dumb, or were obviously just trying to cause trouble. Unfortunately that is no longer an option, so pretty much "anything goes" and there are a lot of ridiculous threads... especially when ISU is losing and people are frustrated/bored.
Not that I'm complaining about the site overall, we did recently get a bunch of new pirate and ninja smileys.
