I bet everyone thinks I'm a real idiot now ._.;; The thing is, I was only going to have that rep thing in my sig for about a week when everyone else had one, but then I disabled signatures on the forums and forgot all about it <_<;; I've probably made myself sound really greedy o_o;;
And DragonTrainer, this is what I think about the whole thing: the thing is, I think we should actually give reputation more openly than we do...for a while, nobody had a second green block except for Kairi, but I'm glad the forums as a whole are being more benevolent...I've been trying to give rep as much as possible, because I think that there are a lot of people here who deserve to have the feeling of knowing they have a high rep score. For me, even though I've been here for a while, I'm greatly overshadowed by a lot of other members (nothing against any of you though, I'm just not charismatic) so I thought rep would help me in my quest to stand out. Anyway, we're just finally getting a handle on what rep is all about, and sharing it more often. I like it, and I think I'm going to continue to give deserving people rep as much as possible.
And I'm definitely not the stereotype you just listed. That's actually kind of offensive.
