What is CPF?

I've noticed the free $50 CPF for us newbies. What exactly is this CPF money? Can it be used as credit in the store or what?

ya you can buy just about anything on the forums with it.

Rep is earned, and it takes time. Be patient and it will happen.

What exactly is it and what does it do?

Look out for that Thief option, Moto! Every time you fail, you lose 50 rep points, and even if you succeed you still lose some rep points (check near the bottom of your user cp to see your individual rep score). Also, certain conditions have to be met for thief to succeed.

(excerpt from our FAQ) The Thief feature gives you the chance to attempt to take money from another user. The prerequisite is that you must have as much money in your pocket as you intend to thief from another. Give it a try and the odds are about 50% overall (the odds of each theft calculated individually) that you come out that much richer!

Before you get too excited, there are some drawbacks. If you fail in your attempt it will backfire and the amount you attempted to take will be deducted from your pocket and given to the person you tried to steal from. In addition, you have a ‘reputation score’. Both successful and failed attempts have a negative effect on your reputation score. That doesn’t sound so bad if nobody but you can see it, right? Except that, to the best of our knowledge, a poor reputation score makes it easier for everyone else to steal from you!! Philanthropy is always commendable, however, and donating your cash to other members will raise that reputation score!

Nevertheless, if you happen to see your CPF$ dwindling you might check our version of the police blotter and see which member’s nimble fingers have been at work!

I believe most of this is covered in the FAQ, so I'll answer one more question before I point you to the FAQ link in my signature... Banked money cannot be thiefed.
