Who care about the rep and rep points?

[Kayleigh]

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.

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

BOO ya!

 

[Kairi]

…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]

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]

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]

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]

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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]

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]

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

100 I think

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]

*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]

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. @_@; Just another trend.
