I noticed on PieFed user profiles is an Attitude percentage. My attitude is 97%. What is this, and is 97% good or bad?

    97% is good - it’s the ratio of upvotes you give vs downvotes. I think it mostly serves to prevent things like someone downvoting every post/comment of someone they’ve disagreed with - it would lower their ‘attitude’ and after a certain threshold, their downvotes would stop being registered.

    (the opposite of ‘attitude’ is ‘reputation’ which is the ratio of upvotes to downvotes that other people give you)

      Wait, so the attitude is about how many upvotes and downvotes I give, not how many people upvote or downvote my comments?

        Yeah - attitude is ratio of upvotes to downvotes you give out, reputation is ratio of upvotes to downvotes you receive.

          Okay, thanks for the explanation, but where is the reputation located? I don’t see it in my profile, is it some kind of hidden parameter?

            Yeah, I think it’s something only admins can see on their users’ profile, not something people can see on their own profile.

            You’ll know if it’s low though, 'cos red triangles will appear by your username in comments (I made an unpopular comment recently, and - for some instances - that’s the only comment they’ve got by me, so I’ve got the triangles there).
