Thanks for pointing that out, Usagi-san.

Jees, I just got up. and I looked at that for a while and listened to it as well. Must have been one of their earlier albums. The reason I looked at it is that I never knew what the band looked like. I had their more popular album and they weren't pictured on it anywhere.

(and then I went back and thanked Sidney for posting the post that prompted you to post that)

While I have started this thread and make no secret of my discord with the reputation system, I also dislike that some of you guys are trying to make it into a mockery.
1. Because you can destabilize any initiative that way, good or bad.
2. Because not everyone may object against the reputation system, and who am I to force my opinion upon them by sabotaging the system. Hence till the day it is terminated, I 'll use it as intended.
3. There is the democratic weapon of starting a poll, if you want to battle against the reputation system.
4. There is currently a thread by Dwessel, where you can make suggestions for improving SRP. Only very few people have asked for the removal of the reputation system so far. (I have)
5. I need to lighten up.

Bart.

In my opinion it is already a mockery. I will stop openly mocking it though. Thanks for saying so, Bart

Bart as ever you are my glorious beacon of light (or so say the green dits).

And with regards to (2) check my signature. I like yourself use the thanks as intended, but I do not 'force my opinion' upon others. Neither do I refrain from speaking my mind since I believe that SRP is a community where a great many people should be able to politely express themselves. Oh dear I seem to rambling into the 'censorship' category. Sorry Bruno.

Moving swiftly on, perhaps I should take a dose of (5) as well bud.

You're being much too adult. I cast off that onerous mantle decades ago.

Yeah, that's why I'm here and avoid most other internet fora.

Ummm, how? I thought that was one of the main objections. It's not clearly defined what it means or how it is intended to be used. I just thanked someone for posting a very informative and useful post on cigar humidors. Sidney objects to his acquiring green dits and that he doesn't have a choice in the matter. I found that informative and useful... so I thank Sidney everytime he mentions it . There is some merit to "if it's being abused it's probably broken" (referring to the user interface). If you thank someone for a contrarian, unpopular, belief/practice/process would that be abuse?

Not to worry. If it's left in place I'm sure it will sort itself out with volume. It is a volume type of thing and will need a good amount of time to see if it's accomplishing whatever it was that whoever implemented it had in mind

When I was new to this site and wanted to know somebodys rep I looked at the number of post and the number of thanked. I didnt even notice the green dots til a lot later.

I still have only one dot... that is frustrating..

Maarten

I know what you mean. I'm wondering how much rep it takes to get to 2 little dots.

All this fuss over little green dots...

Bruce,

Are you breaking out the cream pies anytime soon?
