Reputation Awareness/Evaluation Month

[Null]

hint:

just ignore my ramblings and the answer will come to you.

Happy +rep month to people and all that jazz.

I didn't know that there was red pips. Well, I guess that's a good thing.

By visible, I mean having green pips and a number to keep record of how large your reputation is. What should remain visible (and only to the person who receives rep) is the post that received reputation, the positive/negative connotationm, comments, and maybe who gave the reputation.

Having a system to keep track of how much you accumulated reputation is what I feel is unnecessary.

But what would be gained from getting rid of it opposed to how it is now?

Not like it will alter your life if its gone, not like it alters your life if its here.

That makes me want to not have an opinion on anything that does not alter my life.

Thank you.

No no no.

Im saying, like, I never got why people are against the rep thing.

Personally, I like it. It gives me a sense of purpose within the boards. I had to strive to be good, and not stupid, in order to be a P3/P4 and change my custom title, and post in The Black Project.

If you do something wrong, it lets you, and you alone, know who doesnt like what you said. If you do something right, it has the same, positive effect.

I would like to comment on the access to the Black Project forum. I've been with NDolphin/NDose/GT longer than most, as long as some, and not as long as a small few. And to have a flawed reputation system decide who has access to a forum is perhaps the single most ignorant thing done in all the time I've been with this website. And to me it's a Oxi Moron, because I hate 'Elite Only' forums. It only devides the members of the forums further from each other. But just because I hate it, doesn't mean I don't want access to it. I'll probably never post in there, and yet I'm frustrated by that fact that I couldn't.

Some of you could say "you're only 100 points from having access so quit your whining." But I don't feel I should have to. It's a matter of principle. And one that I feel has been overlooked.

I've been around almost as long as you have at the above mentioned forums and have yet to access the oh-so-elusive "Black Project". I remember that I was close one time. Indeed I was, but then we tanked the DBLN system and in came reputation. I remain to this day, after being associated with these people for upwards of 5 years just out of reach of the inner circle.

Come to think of it, this reminds me a lot of my real social life as well. Interesting...

Typhoid, how in the world you got so much positive reputation, I'll never know. Personally, I've never seen you do anything right.

I guess I'm just angered by the fact that what I have yet to accomplish in my over 3 years at this particular forum, you sir have accomplished in very short order. Perplexing.

Angered may be too strong of a word. This actually does not bother me on a regualr basis. What bothers me more is that my slave, who I brought here, is more popular than me. Guess we know who is the better half of this relationship.

You only need 4 positive ratings from an admin.

[jeepnut]

Since making the two above posts, I have somehow manged to jump from 1299 in reputation to 1530.

Lesson learned? Whine enough and you will get what you want.

Oh, and a big thanks for all the +rep everyone.

I want a pony, and a girafe named Gerald, and a penguin named Gesipi...

You're right, it is nothing. A giant, bottomless expanse of nothingness from which there can be no escape.
