Respect
Throughout the site you will see the Respect score against each member profile. The respect score shows you how much of a benefit each member is to the community and reflects how active they are.

You get:

  • 2 points each time you post a forum thread, forum answer, blog or leave a message in a friends scrapbook
  • 10 points for each "Thumbs Up" vote you receive for a post. (Obviously you can't vote for yourself !)


    Respect is calculated as follows:

    Total of all posts (Forum threads, Answers, Blogs and Scraps) * 2
    + Total "Thumbs Up" votes * 10
    / Total days as a site member

    If you are a new site member, your Respect score will take 3 days to start registering
