That's What I'm Known For - My BS
A spirit lifter ? I sent him $3,000 and a picture of his 'next' wife (his 12th and hopefully his last).......

That sucks. I click enough on AZ without having to go and hunt for rep worthy posts and I refuse to just give rep indiscriminately until I can re-rep someone. What a stupid system. I mean I guess that there is some kind of logic at work here but perhaps it ought to be time based as well. Like you can't rep the same person twice in a day. Which is also sorta dumb because what if they post more than one rep-worthy post?
Now I know why I don't pay attention to the rep system although I do enjoy seeing that people have given me rep when I go to the user CP.

I try to only rep when there is good reason ... a knowledgable post, a contact info given, someone relays a great old story, someone pays me money, or Terry A posts ... but there are many that do not. I joined here a couple years ago and was not an active participant. As I began to contribute, I actually enjoyed seeing my name move up the rep list (not rep whoring, just knowing someone actually enjoyed my posts). I was nearing page one at one time and thought it was great that people got something from what I posted (usually player info, stories, or line-making) but now I am back a couple pages and many posters who I do not see ever making pool-related posts are climbing.
... Really, I do not understand why the phantom rep getters are doing this. It's like having the world's records for most failed attempts at something. Ok, you've got it ... so what if it doesn't mean anything.

Exactly why I posted my "rep is gay" thread...iba7467 said:
Earn them. I did. I do find it quite humorous that there are some people up there that really shouldn't be...... quite a bit, actually.
I have asked one person for rep just to see how powerful they were. They are powerful... to say the least...

There is a clique of posters led by Smorgy who constantly rep each other. Rep worthiness or not be damned. I posted a comment to Smorg wishing him the best recently and I recieved around 10 rep's for it. It was a rep smorgy. I had to take a shower... I felt so dirty.
I think it's a joke that a poster like worldison2 who has 600 post is ahead of guys like Jay, Joey, & Terry. The rep system was a joke before but since this clique started rep smorgy'n it has only become more of one.
I just don't understand how a nice thread can turn into bashing?
Jeez, our economy is melting down because greedy, irresponsible, dollar-whores were able to game it to the breaking point, and yet somehow people keep acting surprised and offended that V-Bulletin rep is not a fool-proof system. 
It's best to just enjoy the rep you get and don't worry about everyone else's. That would be my humble opinion. AZ life is much more satisfying that way.

Well....
I Know Bob aka Worldison2 doesn't have a lot of post here.
But if you read through the ones he does have, he is always nice and cordial. He never argues with anyone. He doesn't wear his politics on his sleeve. He is quick to extend a nice comment......often done in a rep comment.
I had the pleasure of meeting Bob recently at his Home Room, Comet Billiards in NJ.
Bob has a reputation beyond repute among his peers in public as well.
Bob IS good people!

them damned cliques
Funny thing about those rep cliques. There have long been rumors of rep cliques existing. Several people have even sent me lists of names. Your name was on at least one of those lists, maybe all. Could there be some sour grapes here?
Rep points have little to do with real reputation anymore. It is pretty easy to sort the members list by reputation, look at the number of posts a person has, and knowing the quality of their posts know who is in one of the rep cartels artificially inflating their rep and others. Even funnier, some are using multiple accounts mostly to drive their rep up!
Jay, Joey, and Terry will never be threatened in real reputation just because others have more points. They have well earned reputations that mean far more than placings on a forum will ever mean.

easy-e said:Still waiting on pics of the cases. I happen to be in the market for a new one myself.
YEAH! What easy-E said. Well almost. I certainly do want to see the pics and well, I would like to have a new case but it will be hard to give up the old one. John has been making some incredible looking cases.
