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.

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

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.

*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

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.

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.

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.
