Reputation is gay.....

Big ones mean you are in good health!!!!

Cleansing your colon is a good thing. Rep to you!!!!
 
he is just pissed cause he aint on page 1, he will be soon enough with this NPR post, nice
 
I didn't even know there was a "1st page" (or any page, for that matter) that displayed an order of reputation.

If that's the case, I need another account so I can rep myself.

And all you have to do, if you get negative rep, is complain about it and people will throw you so much greenies your cup will runeth over!!!:eek:

If you want to wish me Happy Birthday, send me a pm or start a thread.

If you want to say hello or reach out, send me a pm, or text

If you like/approve of my post - give me a greenie

If you dislike/disapprove of my post - give a red

I think ALL rep, if it's gonna have any meaning, should be approved by "rep moderators" in it's current state.;)

Frivilous - delete
meaningful - allowed.

As it currently stands, It means nothing. Definetely don't make a purchase from someone based on greenies. Search "all posts" by the person and you get a pretty good feel of who you're dealing with.;)

Ray

ps. I gave Ross a greenie because I like and approve of his post/thread
Wow... you relayed my message so..... politically correct!!

So I've just looked at the "rep" stack rankings for the first time in quite some time.... I notice something strangely amiss....

You see, there are quite a few tools who've accumulated a huge amount of rep points. I submit to you that this is based upon three different reasons:

  • Posting to death... "I LIVE for AZB!!!!"

Retarded, I tell ya.....

  • Nuthangers - "You make the greatest cues evAR!!!" or "my god you're rich, so I'm going to blow you over the intarweb!!"
  • Posting to death... "I LIVE for AZB!!!!"

Sorry, but who really gives half a shit about some green dot or stack ranking amidst a sea of "Bangers", as Bruce de Nit would call it? It's gotten obscenely stupid... Sad thing was Donovan had the jump 2 years earlier than the last "posse" ever had....

and for what it's worth, I've probably given rep 30x in my life, and that was for GREAT posts.... now it seems people will rep someone for posting, "So I took a huge dump this morning....."

Retarded, I tell ya.....

If you give neg rep to peeps who use words like Gay,retarded,..etc. to express who knows what...they will give it back,very predictable.

Since the rep system is basically meaningless maybe these post should earn a warning and an eventual banning.

TY to those who just got me back out of the red LOL

I might rep someone for taking a huge dump, however there would need to be proof and it would have to be a truly huge, husky, Pearson Nut Roll lookin duece


maybe then
 
Agreed

Not sure about the banning, but I definately agree. Using these words in addition to saying, "taking a @%#&", is just plain bad manners.
See, I cant even quote his words entirely because it is too offensive in my book.
 
I agree that the rep system is a bit flawed, and not really that helpful.

I was gonna give you a good rep for that post but then I figured, why bother since it's useless anyway :D

Really? the word "dump" (when used in relation to feces) is offensive

what about duece, stink pickle, badger tail, corn-eyed brown trout, mud monkey, brown weasel or plain ol' turd

Noticed that you are at the top of the 2nd page. Looks like you have accummulated a lot of rep points yourself! So, which of the three choices are you?:D



You naturally get more when you give more.:confused: And for the second part, do you mean like all the rep you got for this thread??:rolleyes:

For what it's worth, I do agree that the 'system' is badly abused. Some use the 'rep' button to send p.m.'s, ect.


If you REALLY don't care, why did you start this thread?? Does that make you #3???


Yea Neil, I agree with you. And Russ's post just before yours has a ring to it as well.

1pRoscoe, if you don't like rep, why didn't you ever say so when I repped you all them times over the past year or so? You never sent me a PM asking me to stop, never sent any rep in return with a message to stop.
For the record, all that mumbo-jumbo in post #1 is not how I view rep. For the record, all they are to ME are tokens of friendship. PERIOD. They can't be redeemed for cash, Accu-Stats or a McDonald's Happy Meal.
BUT, you can send concise messages in lieu of PM's along with a little "pat on the back" to those who you feel have earned it.

Also, since I always thought we were pals, does your description in your original post apply to me as well? If so, which one am I?
I have been a member here since March 2003 and this is my 1,613th post, for an average of .085 posts per day. I am not in any clique that I know of, although I have made several dozen new close friendships since I joined here. Every one of my messages to you was respectful and nice, so how did I bother you by being kind or complimentary?

If you don't want repped no more, just ask the moderator to give yours away to someone who really wants them. You'll still be a good poster here, with or without the rep thing. And that's my main point. To YOU, the rep thing is stupid. And that's OK for YOU and anyone else who feels like you do. You're still a cool guy and a good poster in my book.

But don't pi$$ and moan about it if it really doesn't affect you one way or the other. Because unless I missed something, nobody ever hurt you in any way by giving you good rep with kind comments attached inside, did they? :) And I only give people good rep, I've never once given anyone bad rep.

You have no idea how many new friends I've made here by posting, giving and receiving the rep w/ messages and PM's.

I do agree that some people here "abuse" the rep system in some cases, but I think the majority of the members here honestly are innocent of much of what you stated in your original post. If rep points had a monetary value or were worth anything, then you would have a stronger case. But since they don't, what's the big deal? :)

That's ok i guess, it's not really husky enough though, I'm sayin if someone comes on here who has been eating nothing but smoked cheddar and Slim Jims for days and says " hey, check this out it looks like an otter" then I'm gonna rep them up :D


Jake,
How in the world do you smoke cheddar? Won't it really just turn into a toasted cheese samich before you can roll the papers around it enough?

And for the record, if you want a real disaster to happen "south of the border", just drink 1 big glass of orange juice followed by a big glass of apple juice and repeat it a few times, back and forth, orange juice then apple juice.....
But when it's time, take a good book with you or a stack of magazines. And open the windows! :eek:
:D
