    Default Rep Count

    I was 2nd in rep count, just behind Kathianne as per the below image. I care more about the use of the system. It's nice to know every now and again that someone appreciates a post. But the numbers? Couldn't really care less. If you look at the top 10 after this, I dropped myself just below Logroller to the bottom of the list (I thought it would take me out of the top 10, but made me 10th. I would lower it more to completely get off the list, but I had to edit more than just that. My account, as the first registered, can't be altered like everyone else, so I had to make changes just so that it could be altered! Don't want to do that again! LOL But I wanted to lead by example that it supposed to be for fun, it doesn't amount to much at the end of the day. With that said - I am now taking bets on how long before this thread ends up in the cage!

    It would be unwise to bet with the guy who has the power to put it in the cage. Just sayin'....

    Personally, I prefer the "Thanks" feature...

    Now if you could just add a "Go Fuck Yourself" feature...

    But I'd settle for a "No Thanks..."

    That's exactly what the Rep system is.

    Can we eliminate the rep count entirely? As I have said before, it really serves no purpose other than as a conservative circle jerk.

    Says the liberal who has a positive rep count on a board filled with those conservatives.

    Perhaps it highlights too well the hypocrisy of liberals and shows clearly the evidence of the conservatives to both living and embracing --fairness... I positive rep my opposition here and to date have -NEVER- issued a neg rep to anybody here! I consider that fair and even gabby has never gotten a neg rep from me. Although I have mistakenly reported a post but gave no comments because it was a mistake and there is no way to undo it after having made it. I think it was on Kat after I had just thanked her..lol--Tyr

    Perhaps you are jealous of your rep total

    Then again, if your posts were not comprised of all number two - you would be number one in the rep catagory

    I only neg rep Marcus Whineyus and only because he started it. Been a lot of fun!

    And, you also forgot to mention HOW TIRED YOU ARE, after all this time. Being the PIVOT MAN/WOMAN running that circle.

    I think that coupled with time of joining, number of posts and so forth, it shows that one either makes posts very appreciated or not appreciated.

    Some have been posting 4-5 years yet have half the reputation I have.

    When somebody says my posts suck, I just look at the reputation count and figure they wish they had my number over their number.

    Won't be long and I hit one million.

    I don't think reputation goes up when one calls a member bad names.

    or how "busy" she is when she gets her head handed to her via facts, logic, reason, and valid links

    Or is that when she becomes "bored" and exits stage left from a thread?

    Gabbey, I've used it to communicate with you when I've felt you said something worthwhile. Only a trolling liberal would say something like "conservative circle jerk". I find it offensive and wish you wouldn't resort to such childish acting out.

    Personally, I use the rep system to let people know how I feel about a subject without putting it in the thread because it's something private.

    In all the years I've been here only one person ever neg repped me and it was RW. I've also never neg repped anyone ... if I have something negative to say, I'd rather say it in person where everyone can read.

    But, hey, that's just me.

    I forget why I neg repped you.

    I sincerely apologize. Gave you rep today.
