Reputation Reset 08/14/2018 | Article By: EpicFlamingos, Gabe, Simon | #edgegamers , #reputation , #source Within our Source Engine (CS, DOD:S, TF2) servers, there's a feature that allows players to !up and !down other players, earning them reputation points to show off in the server. Over the years the points have jumped databases and are no longer synced across all games. The Tech Team wants to fix that, as well as expand the plugin to other games EdgeGamers now supports. In an effort to do this, one week from this post the reputation points will be reset. This will allow seamless integration into other games so you never lose track of your reputation points, no matter where you play.
