Who care about the rep and rep points?
 
Who cares about how good there rep is and how many of them you have?

sly_74 October 2nd, 2004 9:03 PM

I care, but it doesn't matter. It's just nice.

I currently have 78. :)

aRedMoon October 2nd, 2004 9:32 PM

I'm at like 360 something. I get good rep for the oddest posts. O.o

Crimson King October 2nd, 2004 9:50 PM

i like them :D right now i have 85 points in good reps and one as a bad one for some reason ;-;

aRedMoon October 2nd, 2004 9:51 PM

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I think it's a worthless system that is fun to abuse. :P

Cherrim October 2nd, 2004 11:03 PM

I used to before the rest of PC discovered it. Now it's another worthless indicator of popularity, just like postcount. =x

I'll still go "oh, cool" if I get another bar or something, though. Just like if I get a nice even number of posts (ie: 3100~ :3) For the most part, though, I don't care. *likes seeing the comments, though XD*

Togepi4eva October 2nd, 2004 11:52 PM

I think that rep is fun. It's not really important, just a nice thing to have.

NiNGi October 3rd, 2004 1:20 AM

i dont care about rep points ¬_¬

I am ok with my real reputation.... and rep points wont tell you how good a person's rep is because there are people who exchange rep points and thats not what is ment by reputation ¬_¬

Anyway, its still nice to receive rep points because they may show some kind of appreciation for some posts, but still i do not like to give planned rep, like some people always do.

I agree. I like seeing comments, but hate giving them. I'm too shy most of the time.

Claire October 3rd, 2004 3:34 AM

I think it's nice -reading the comments people write you -makes you feel appreciated ^^

I see ^^;; I will start giving comments from now on then! ^^

DragonTrainer October 3rd, 2004 5:38 AM

I'm with lightning, use to be actually worth something, until everyone started running around begging for rep, not I just don't even wanna look at it >>. Come on, I got rep for having a funny avatar for pete's sake

Legendary Suicune October 3rd, 2004 6:01 AM

i got 23 points thats all

PichuSecretBase October 3rd, 2004 6:05 AM

I think their fun... XD I like having little green things with white bg's next to my name

DragonTrainer October 3rd, 2004 6:09 AM

In response to PK's top... October 2nd, 2004 04:35 PM Moron!

And wtf is this? I was loicking a thread I knew was gonna start a flame war, and apparently this is an idiot that was only siding with their friend, had no frickin clue what was goin on.

seraphim October 3rd, 2004 6:11 AM

how do u find your points or whatevre?

TRIFORCE89 October 3rd, 2004 6:12 AM

The only reason I like them is when I get weird comments. Like a negatvie comment, yet I get a positive rep from it. O_o

I don't really care at all. And like I've said before I don't know why everyone makes a fuss over a green box.

Dizzy October 3rd, 2004 9:40 AM

I dunno I give people reputation points but I never get any back, but what can I say?

As a mod, you should probably exercise a little more self control. Albeit the topic is somewhat derogatory, you don't need to start a new flame war. :\

digi-kun October 3rd, 2004 10:04 AM

i dont really like rep points cuz spam about it closed the crush thread >< (poor crush thread :( )

Legendary_Pokegirl October 3rd, 2004 10:25 AM

I dont care about rep points. They have caused some problems latley. >.< You cant just ask for them, you have to earn them, and people definatly havent been doing that. I used to like them, but when I started getting bad rep points for doing absolutly nothing I got fed up with them.

TRIFORCE89 October 3rd, 2004 10:29 AM

I'd actually prefer if nobody gives me rep points from now on. I'm not able to give any out anymore, so it wouldn't be fair if I couldn't give back.

Codecrakr October 3rd, 2004 10:41 AM

There's not really a point to them... If you could use them to buy things--like a certain number of rep points allows you to change your user name if you want to, or make it bold or colored, or whatever--that would be different. I think they do that on the Game Over Online forums.

!Dragonite! October 3rd, 2004 10:43 AM

I would rather have it then not have it, but I don't really care if no one gives me any.

PatriotFan89 October 3rd, 2004 10:48 AM

I don't really care about them, but I get annoyed when I see a member that joined in like September with 2 or 3 pips, where I have joined in April and have earned the few rep points I have.

Eliana October 3rd, 2004 10:50 AM

Go rep points! XD I just recentely got 2 blocks....:P

I agree,at first i wanted them so bad i would PM asking for them.but there has been so much abuse to this forum lately with all the spammers,and 1 day members.

There's no need to be jealous pats :\ its not as if everyone asks for rep..i know i dont..
one thing that annoys me is when people beg for it in their signatures..if i think someone deserves rep ill give it, so they don't need to ask again..

Yaoi Boi October 3rd, 2004 2:46 PM

I don't have any. =/

But it seems like a useless system to me...


Edit: Never mind... I just got one. o.O

Dragon Paw October 3rd, 2004 2:50 PM

I dun really care about rep points. Its not liek they really do anything from what I see either :/ Rather worthless....

Cassie-chan October 3rd, 2004 7:36 PM

Meh, I don't care, that's why I turned mine off. Every once in a while, I turn it back on to see if I got any new comments, though!

AdamHays October 3rd, 2004 8:44 PM

The whole rep thing turned out to be a big thing,and a not so big of a thing(bad rep).

Mr Cat Dog October 4th, 2004 9:07 AM

It's nice to receive them... but I'm not too bothered if I don't get any. Even red blocks know that you're being noticed by some people. Even if you don't know who they're from, it's like having a secret admirer... although it's not really love... I think... XD

Shiney October 4th, 2004 9:26 AM

I didn't care about them, until the secret of who I work for was let out. *Mourns the loss of his rep* XD I think I like red better though. >.>

Double_eagle October 4th, 2004 9:41 AM

I don't care about them, but, it would be nice to get some rep for once.

ravenstorture October 4th, 2004 9:45 AM

I do. I have 360 something like Greggy too!:)

I'm uncertain whether to put anote in my sig asking for bad rep or for good. No oe's ever tried collecting red dots to my knowledge, but good rep is well... good. XD

I like the lil’ bars over there, makes that area look nice and neat. However the system itself is too poorly implemented and I would *like* to see a way it could work. Somehow. Meh.
Comments are actually really personal sometimes, it’s kinda scary. o_O

Kayleigh October 4th, 2004 5:05 PM

Well, I do enjoy getting reputation points, but it wouldn't kill me if I never did. In my opinion people are using them too much now. I've looked at some comments left by people that gave reputation points to others in the Admin control panel, (Muahaha! *is a stalker*) and most of them just seem to only say pointless things like, 'hey ur cool i like ur ava', etc. They've kind of lost their purpose.

Kairi October 4th, 2004 5:09 PM

I actually did get one of those “I like your avatar” ones some time back. XP I really don’t care either way, though I would have a appreciated a nice PM about it more or something. o_o

Kayleigh October 4th, 2004 5:13 PM

I actually got one about my post in the 'What color hair do you like?' thread, lol. I didn't see what was so amazing about it, but oh well. I appreciate the thought! ^_^;

But yeah, it would be nicer if someone complimented the other more personally, like through PM.

John Denver October 4th, 2004 5:18 PM

I really don't care about rep points...you can tell by mine! HOLLA!

BOO ya!

Kairi October 4th, 2004 5:21 PM

…o_o; We gave you back your powers for this? XP
*mandatory “Yeah you NEED to use that to beat my post count”*

Pyo~

Haruka October 4th, 2004 5:35 PM

Dakota's Rep is insanely high. o.o...

I don't care about rep. It's just a another post count. ^_^ but I like to read what they say.

parallelzero October 4th, 2004 5:46 PM

I never really pay attention to them, especially that people are begging for them now and days. It doesnt really tell what kind of member you are or anything.

Zapchu October 5th, 2004 1:08 AM

Uhm...I didn't notice it even existed until recently. >_>; I was wondering what those green dots were. Anyways, I don't care about them...but if you want to give me a green dot, go ahead. XD

Breakout October 5th, 2004 8:01 AM

I am not really bothered about reputation points, but if anyone wants to give me good rep, then I won't stop you. I mean getting reputation is ok if you deserve it, but I wouldn't advertise it or even ask for it.

PatriotFan89 October 5th, 2004 10:56 AM

It isn't jealousy.. It's just like those who have been here longer, have earned their rep. Now, all of a sudden people just ask and get them... Especally n00bs! It just annoys me..

I agree. Rep points or post counts are never a great indicator to how good you are.

Togepi4eva October 6th, 2004 3:09 AM

I'm new and I have a lot of rep but I didn't ask for it. It is dumb when people have it in their sig asking for rep. They think that'll help them get more but that usually helps them get less since people don't want to give to people that beg.

Timbjerr October 6th, 2004 4:46 PM

I used to have high expectations of the rep system. I used it as a guage of how helpful and friendly a member is, but nowadays, people are gettng rep for basically asking for it. I only igve out rep when I think the post was incredibly helpful to prospective n00bies. I've been recently been getting rep points from AdamHays saying the wierdest things...nothing to even do with the post he commented on. He obviously expects me to give him rep back cuz he left his name, but I refuse to give rep to people based solely on them giving me rep...another thing that has led to the abuse of this fine system.

BTW: give me rep. I'm only three points away from from my second pip. XD

You think this is a big Repping community? Look again.

EDIT: Reputation is nice, but a bit pointless. To determine someone's reputation by looking at the little green things under their avatar is foolish.

Gardy October 6th, 2004 5:09 PM

Rep to me is big I feel special *does that make me werid?* I give it out to ppl deservein of it or if they give me some but when I get bad I could do without rep

aaaaaa October 6th, 2004 6:57 PM

How many points does it take to get to pip #2, anyway?

Brittany October 6th, 2004 6:59 PM

100 I think

Kairi October 7th, 2004 11:07 AM

I gave Sawah 31 points last night when I repped that post. XP I should spread around that massive rep some more.
But nah.

PC's reputation system is like communism. It was a good system when it was first thought up, but abuse of power made it suck.

If people actually gave rep points only to deserving members. Then the number of pips would be a good guage for the person's reputation...but again, abuse of the system has made it mean absolutely nothing now.

Cassie-chan October 7th, 2004 5:51 PM

*forgot if she posted in here before, and is too lasy to look at the little icon telling her* XD

You can tell I really care about rep, that's why I turned mine off. :P It's a little pointless to have, now...

EDIT: Then I turn it on to look at the comments and see I got one for this post, about my ava...0.o

PatriotFan89 October 7th, 2004 6:18 PM

I shall become a n00b! Let's see how much rep I get now if I act n00bish... Probably none because of my remark XD

The problem though that’s pure opinion. I respect Erica and Sarah as people, and quite a few of their posts “deserve” rep. But someone could accuse me of just giving it to them since they’re my friends, which they are. I think if it was used better on good posts—not necessarily members (although possible if they always posted high quality stuff) per se, it’d work more towards what you say. But as is people just kinda give it for fun on any old post. And really…it’s either this or everyone ignores it. @[email protected]; Just another trend.

RoxasOld October 7th, 2004 6:48 PM

I think the rep points are cool. They show how good of a person you are. Right now, I have 266, I think. Hm I got a bad rep for the post I made in the *****ation thread in the T-Dome XD Cant say the whole word out here where little ones can see it and start telling other people that word and I cause a chain of little kids to use that word and get slapped in the mouth by their parents XD

I agree. The concept is great, but it isn't followed correctly. I must admit though, that sometimes I ask people for rep, but it was when I was close to my second thingy, but I was doing it out of boredom, and I only asked two of my friends.

Unlike some people that only get rep for asking, even if most of their posts are spammy, and don't really deserve good rep.

Reminds me, I have yet to give it to certain friends yet ^^;; I will, for eg. once Fixen comes up with his manga work I'll give him loads ^^
The only time I gave it for fun was with my old account. It was to test out to see how many rep points I can give to people.

Estrella Oscura October 10th, 2004 2:34 AM

I realy don't care for them as you can see. I normly just show mine when i get new rep from someone. I want to see if they left a comment. That only reasoni turn it on. I like to know what people say in the rep points that all. Most of them nice comments but i got one... that very ill saying but thats ok.

aRedMoon October 10th, 2004 9:53 AM

I think I'm into my... 6th pip? ~_~

It's a funky little system...


And my rep power is something like 25...

That's a lot. I think I can give out about 18 or so, I tested it out on my other account.
