Giving someone Reputation (located on every member's post inside a topic) affects your overall Reputation score presented on Exhale's leaderboard. Exhalers with higher Reputation scores are considered more trustworthy and valuable than those with lower counts. It means there's a consensus that their posts positively contribute towards the greater good of Exhale. Exhalers also move up in rank based off of how much Reputation you receive. The higher your rank on Exhale, the more privileges an Exhaler gets access to. Giving Reputation to another member: If you react positively towards an Exhaler's post, it will increase that Exhaler's Reputation score by +1. If you react negatively towards an Exhaler's post, it will decrease that Exhaler's Reputation score by -1. If you react towards an Exhalers' posts, they are likely to react back to yours. Exhalers' posts with 10+ positive Reputation points become highlighted and differentiated because they are considered more valuable. Your Reputation score is visible in your profile. The Reputation leaderboard is located here (as well as in the navigation menu). It awards a first, second and third place each day for Exhalers who contribute the most. A Reaction can be worth +1, or -1 Reputation depending on what the reaction is. At the bottom of this post is a key for what each reaction is worth. +1 means one Reputation point was added to your total Reputation score. -1 means one Reputation was removed from your total Reputation score. Reactions also contribute towards an Exhalers Points tally. Points are spent in the Member Shop to buy different abilities on Exhale. As your Reputation count increases, so does your Reputation Level. The more Reputation you receive, the higher your Reputation Level is on Exhale. The Reputation names reflect the theme of fire.
