Hello,
Since the old topic on Reputation was from 2012, I wanted to ask here about it as I am a bit confused on how the reputation system works here.
So, as is obvious by my reputation to the side, I gave a piece of advice that got flagged as bad. (It was on something that there is debate on the forums about (bacteria quick starts in axolotl tanks) on a topic where someone was worried about.) So I made a new post on the thread, apologizing for the poor advice and trying to give other good advice, as well as linked to a general tank cycling thread filled with lots of information. The second post got rated as a good post.
But my rep is still at -5. So is a single negative post worth more points into the negatives than a good rep post is into the positives? And do likes add to the reputation at all?
I guess I'm just worried because I don't know how big a deal reputation is on this site, and I've had a couple people thank me or like my posts when I tried to help them, but my rep is still red. So while I think I've helped them, I worry that I haven't, or that the bad advice I gave outweighs the good?
