Why can I add to my own Rep?

[Lycanthrope]

You heard it. I haven't tried it, but I have a button on any of my forum posts that, when the mouse is hovering over it, displays 'Add to Lycanthrope's Reputation.'

Does this do something other than what the button says? Or is this a bug?

It doesn't let you add rep, it just tells you how many rep points you have.

[Lycanthrope]

ah, alright. good to know, and just making sure.

No its definetely there its in the upper right hand corner and says "Add to Sithdarth's Reputation". Clicking on it brings up a popup that seems to indicate how much rep was given for that post. I have no idea where this came from or how long it's been there. It also appears to have been mislabled. I bet the lable is the alternative text of the picture used and someone reused the picture and forgot to change the text.

I have evidence:

All it does is check your reputation in total and for that post. It's always been there (as long as I've been here, at least), and it's always done that when you clicked on your own rep scale.

how exactly are rep points awarded?

how exactly are rep points awarded?This is the wrong thread for your question. Also, your question is answered in the rules here (http://forum.nuklearpower.com/showpost.php?p=312917&postcount=1). You might want to read the rules again, if you haven't already.
