I'm glad I clicked on this thread. I've been around various message boards for years and never encountered rep points. Definitely important stuff to know!
By the way, you're not supposed to ask for rep. You shouldn't pander to people who do ask for it, reputation is there for recognizing constructive posts. I hardly think saying "can I have some rep please" is constructive.
Pass out as much Positive Rep as you can. If you agree with someone, Rep. And even better if the post got a chuckle out of you, REP. NEVER, EVER Negative Rep. It's cowardly and stupid. That said, good luck to you all. Happy posting.
I think the whole rep thing is absurd. I don't really give a damn about rep points and don't think anyone eslse should either. This forum shouldn't be a popularity contest.
This whole rep nonsense just helps to perpetuate the circle jerk that goes on in most rooms. Usually everyone knows each other and they are continually repping one another. Then if you happen to walk into one of their rooms and you have a different opinion, they end up bashing you. It happened to me several times. Now I've learned my lesson.
New members can give rep all they want, but the points don't amount to anything until they get rep from more senior members.
Very good I just look at an internet site which sells to anyone a percentage of professional football players. And we look for the possibility of any of us to buy a percentage of a player as Figo, Messi, etc..? I think it is an innovative concept, and I think it is worth looking at realplayermanager em. The site is www.realplayermanager.com
If you accidentally hit the neg rep instead of pos rep, is there a way to correct it after the fact????
