Thread: Reputation frustration

i think thr rep system is good to the effect it gives you an idea on how knowledgeble the person is in the world of straight shaving if i find a post useful i give thanks. give credit where credit is due if someone thanks me in a post i assume i gave them some useful information that will make thier shave better. if i dont get thanked no big deal, i am here to improve my shaving and if possible help others the thanks and rep is just a tool you can use to let someone know thanks for the good advice but i dont sweat about my greenies we are here for the shave not for the points.

jsz,

You may be abandoning the quest for green too easily. I think I got my second greenie because I'm so darn good at whining. Each of us has our strengths, hmmm?

You can have my second green. I was proud of being a member of the one green dit order. Sadly however I was demoted to 2 dits.

My frustration at that was vented here:

In fact oddly enough as soon as I made the complaint IIRC half a dozen comedians started to thank me to me off even more!

Yes And No.

As Charlie mentioned in an earlier post, the main issue is that the system still does not accurately reflect some of the most knowledgeable people on SRP,

At the same time I'm sure those guys don't sweat it either.

true but everyone knows who the big dogs are and if not someone will steer them in the right direction

Agreed - the SRP community functions just fine.
It's only the rep system that is in question. Might be just the word, 'reputation' feels incongruous.

And then there's that Sidney guy who's going to have a massive rep solely because he doesn't want one

FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS.......



STOP IT PLEASE!!!!!!

My friend, you appear to be woefully short on green dits. I hope my thanks has helped in some small way.

Look, the more folk like you do that Mark the more the reputation system becomes meaningless! In fact the thanks that people are giving me is just proving how little unreputable the reputation dits are! So if this is how everyone gets green dits then they really do mean nothing!
