A little confused by reputation. On a new install everyone starts with 1 rep. And by default you need 100 to add/remove rep. So how do all my users get anywhere in rep? I see no way to gain points when you start at 1.. any explanation appreciated!

To give a +1 reputation you need atleast 1 point ( You can change that in the host settings) to give a negative -1 reputation point a user needs 100 points ( you can also change that in the host settings).

So you can give a positive vote as new user but not a negative one.

I see what the issue is now. By default you need 1 to add rep but all my imported users start with 0. I simply changed the settings from 1 to 0 to add rep and now all new users can add rep. Thanks for the reply!

Makes sense. I changed the default Points from 0 to 1 for new users in the next release.

We are having this same problem.

However, i cannot find the "host setting" you referred to. How can I change this value from 0 to 1 so our users can begin +ing other posts?

Thanks!

The Host Settings can be accessed from the Main Menu from the "Host" Menu item, right next to the Admin Menu Item.

Which is only available when you are logged in as Host User.

Host > Features

Scroll down until you see Reputation Settings

At the bottom of the aforementioned section, you'll see these two settings.

Min. Value to allow Add Reputation:
Check if the User matches minimal requirements for voting up.	

Min. Value to allow Remove Reputation:
Check if the User matches minimal requirements for voting down.

But as tha_watcha mentioned, you do have to be logged in as a Host user to see Host settings.
