"Reputation Received" in user cp

Winmar · Oct 31, 2003

In my user cp it says "Latest Reputation Received 23 points total", then lists four threads I've posted in. What does this mean, and is it a good or a bad thing?!

Spiff · Oct 31, 2003

It means that based on one of your posts in that thread (click on the link and it should take you to it) someone has said, "Ooh, that's an astute observation/witty remark/something I agree with, so I shall boost his rep a bit" and boosted your rep a bit. I've never done it before though.

Something like that, anyway.

Winmar · Oct 31, 2003

Oh I see. Is that anything to do with the little green square dots next to the number of posts you've made?

Blitzkrieg · Oct 31, 2003

Yes I believe it is to do with the green dots. I don't really get the whole reputation thing, and haven't bothered to check it out.

Spiff · Nov 1, 2003

The more green dots there are, the better the reputation. If you put your mouse over the green dots then a message will pop up giving your current status (usually it says "Winmar is on a distinguished road" - mine says "Spiff will become famous soon enough", etc).

Pretty damn exciting if you ask me.

Winmar · Nov 1, 2003

Ah yes, I am on a distinguished road. Hmmm it is rather compelling.

[color=#aoeooa]You can click on the little button on the bottom right of your post with the man speaking on it. (Next to edit) and give people points/take away points.

And if it's your own post it shows how many points you start with. You start on a distinguished road. I'm still on 10 which I started with. I guess I don't post enough.[/color]

Should be 11 now.

I actually got a couple of rep. boosts and checked out what I said to get them. One was in the Swedish Metal forum on a thread about lousy album cover art. I said that a cover with just a picture of a band on it was lame, someone said, "What about when Motorhead does it?" and I replied with "Motorhead can do whatever the fuck they like!". Someone thought that was pretty cool, apparently.

I got about 16... far from the mighty status that the likes of Spiff and Koichi have!

KoichCPA · Nov 2, 2003

I do indeed rock

Cyclonus · Nov 2, 2003

I gave Koichi negative rep once.

Because he gave me negative rep.

PWNED.

I have like 130 points. Hence my penis is pretty big.

KoichCPA · Nov 2, 2003

I have 329

PWNED.

Lord Tim · Nov 2, 2003

Dang, what sorta weiner must I have then?

dreamwatch · Nov 2, 2003

I have 10,429.

Goreripper · Nov 2, 2003

Wow. Dreamy has a huge penis.

Someone actually reads her spam mail, doesn't she?

(Runs off to get some of that cream that guarantees an extra 3-4 inches... I mean reputation points.. *heh* That's what I meant... *ahem*) HAHA!
