		<title>Reputation system is now working...</title>

		<description><![CDATA[The reputation system is now working.  Toward the bottom right of a post you should see the facility to give that post a positive reputation point.<br />
<br />
The reputation of members will accumulate over time as they are awarded positive points for their contribution on the forum, and the reputation is visible when you click to view a member profile.<br />
<br />
You only get 10 points to award in a 24 hour period, so save your points for awarding thanks to other members or for an occasion where you're generally impressed by a particular post.<br />
<br />
The software does allow the facility to 'neg' (-1) a post (which also affects the accumulated reputation for that member), but I've turned that off unless I have any objections as it can lead to a general feeling of negativity if people are getting 'negged' for simply offering a different opinion.  Lets keep it all positive for now.<br />
<br />
We can set different reputation levels.  At the moment the defaults are:-<br />
<br />
Neutral = 0-9<br />
Good = 10-19<br />
Excellent = 20+<br />
<br />
Any ideas for other reputation levels that we can change these to?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[<strong class='bbc'><span style='font-size: 21px;'>Welcome to Hit-Reset</span></strong><br />
<br />
Hit-Reset is a community driven videgame site featuring an extensive gaming database (14,000+ games and growing) used by the members here to create and share their own personal gaming profile.  You can create a list of the games you own, the games you are playing, and the games you are watching.  We will alert you when games on your watch list are updated, and you can use the database to keep an eye on the latest gaming releases.<br />
<br />
The articles posted here have been submitted by members of the community.  Anyone can write and submit articles, with the idea that you can use the site as a platform for submitting your work.  Articles you write are displayed on your public gaming profile, a portfolio of sorts.<br />
<br />
Otherwise, we aim to provide a forum for friendly gaming, technology and entertainment related discussion.  Check out our forums and join in the discussion!<br />
