I'm not complaining but..

.. how does someone with 167 posts get so much positive rep? I assume rep is determined by those green squares.

He must do a lot of good for people!

I'm not complaining... but just as a matter of interest, did anyone else have this much rep after so little posts?

Ah right... congrats on the 500 post!

Seems a bit unfair to give rep just for posting in a thread, in my opinion...

nope seems good to me anyone who wants loads of rep just has to post there making the whole stupid rep system redundant

yay

Is that not what all Rep is given for ?


I do get your point but some people view the rep system as a game and treat it so as is evident by the link others are more serious about it but either way its not really worth getting worked up over.

I thought rep was more for doing helping people out, sending in a funny joke, making a good point etc.

Not getting worked up over it - just thought it was a bizarre method of handing out rep!

My thread is great. Rep should be given out for people doing good things, but it isn't, hence my idea to abuse it in much the same way it was, except more publicy.

Shameless rep whores, the lot of you.

Lump why did you give me negative rep for including that edit about my post count at the end of my post? I know 500 prob isn't a big deal for you, but it's another nice round number for me - and its not like I started a new thread about it or anything.

unless the admins are just waiting for all those people to post there so they can ban them all in one fell swoop for abusing the rep system.... didnt any of you think of that?

Just think of all the vacancies for moderators that will create.


On the Plus side there'll be plenty of people to chat to in the Big House

We have become very insightful lately..

devore, you wouldn't do that would you? you'd miss out on lovely folks like me and smak.

I joined here and never even noticed the rep thing. I then noticed all these forum members with loads of green icons and thought to myself that they must be quality posters on here for them to get so much.

I was totally deflated when I realised the real story

Yes it was my plan all along, good work project "REP WHORE BAN!"

pickarooney

Just disactivate the system (what everyone was calling for originally, because it was "sooo unfaaaaair") and see how many rep whores now feel the same
