Reputation is gay.....

rep to you! That is some funny sh!t. No pun intended.

I love when i am reading a thread and am completely side tracked by some funny left field comment.

BTW Roscoe if your such an expert, who is Reputation gay with?
I heard that GLAD doesn't appreciate rep. At all.

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:

  • Cliques - "let's rep each other to death!"
  • 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.....

Proof of Ross' point.

I have like 10,000 rep points. And I suck!!!

You're got cliques here that will blow certain cuemakers / cue assemblers; cliques that will defend each other regardless of how stupid they may sound; and cliques that will do just about anything their friends do.

Its become a little retarded around here lately. I remember several years ago when I signed up. It was fun. There were good posters. There was a lot of information here.

The moral of the story is, rep doesn't mean sh!t in a place where most of the people issuing it have little or no clue what they are talking about.

Now people wonder why I'm an ass all the time. Well, take a look around!!!!!!

Hey Jake how about Grunt Staff, now that is really offensive!!!
This word came from a turd we found in a foxhole in Iraq, dam thing was big as a normal mans forearm, and around 14 or 15 inches long. That is what happens when you eat semi-dehydrated food and don't drink enough water.

Never did find the body it came from, but I do not think anyone could have lived through that Dump!!!!!!!!!!!;)

Oh and by the way, here is my personal favorite, and that would Be Butt Nugget!!


I believe it, my best friend's brother was a Marine for some years and he said that MREs would keep you alive but wouldn't produce a turd for 4-5 days, and when it was time, it was like giving man-birth to a can of Pringles

I always get that message "you must spread rep around before giving it to this poster again." (most of the time, I don't even remember the last time I repped that person) Isn't that feature supposed to stop the "clique" thing from having an effect on rep points? That way the same people can't continue to rep the same people over and over, right?
 
The system

Fatboy,

Number of posts and points are one indication of the quality of a person's posts and Terry Ardano is out front a mile there, well deservedly. Aside from solid posts, he is probably the nicest guy on the forum. However I wish we could see the number of times someone has received rep points too. JAM, BlackJack and some others built their rep from many tiny contributions. Now even those of us well down the list can light up two or three squares for the people just getting started.

I would say that Rep is out of control but it is harmless fun and a quick and easy way to give someone an "attaboy" when they say or do something good. Even grouches seem to like it. You would think Roscoe would be screaming and complaining because this thread has moved him up at least six or eight places and onto the front page of rep but he seems to be tolerating that pretty well! :D :rolleyes: :D

Always funny when folks that say rep is silly get a red rep too. They are usually badly out of joint about it especially if they are still building greenies and it costs them a few.

No system is perfect, the real judge of who's appericated the most is to take the rep score divided by number of posts. That person is #1 and would be Terry. He has monster REP and few posts considering how much REP he has, thats the true batting average, If I sat here and had 59,000 posts I most likely would have the most rep or anyone for that matter(No JAM i'm not knocking you-your a major assett here and my friend, I respect you, like you and Keith, you are a huge asett to pool by being with one of my pool Hero's-I see those pics you post-I never saw him happier and thats because of you). No i'm not sucking up to JAM that was something I have been meaning to tell her for a while, i'm practicing my writing and thought it was the approite time to publically thank her for being a great woman in many ways.

BTW, how gay are we talking here?
Are we talking, drink hard iced tea and listen to Ace of Base gay
or are we talking, snort coke off of a dudes package and wind up getting
your stomach pumped at the hospital at the end of the night gay?

You really do need your own sitcom. You are coming with some gems lately. Man-birth....LOL hilarious :D
 
How do you look to see this list of people with the most rep? I have seen others on here say that someone was in the top 20 for rep and someone else say thta someone way way ahead etc. Please tell me I would be interested to see this. Thanks,

Would this be pertaining to the "don't ask, don't tell" policy :D :D

Also, the story ending with " and so that was the second time I woke up bare ass naked in a Tiuanja alley with a fighting rooster duct taped to my ass" might not be appropriate for the kiddies :D :D

Lodini: Yes, it does stop the cliques somewhat. I don't know the exact parameters of the workings, but I keep track of rep recieved and given, and I have found that I have to rep at least 10 people and wait a week to rep someone again.
Thanks, Neil... sounds like a pretty good system to me. I don't think it's anywhere near as flawed as people have described so far. Oh well, either way... I've been on here for a while now, and have seen at least 20 threads about reputation points. Personally, I would have played it 3 rails into the side pocket. :-)

hahaha, rep isn't afraid to go to moustache parties and get super crazy and it thinks that Liza Minelli is just a "strong woman". Rep also loves watching Suddenly Susan re-runs with it's life partner whilst curled up in a down comforter
 
I bet that there are a few that would rather be on the front page of "rep" than beating Johnny Archer. I give out rep if it's very amusing or informative. Thanks to all that have given. Now, can I trade the rep in for cash to gamble with. Who do I call? Huh? Who?
