Thread: Reputation frustration

I don’t post a lot might lurk around a lot of the time, but in my lurking I have spotted a few spammers and reported them the last one just a few days ago while they were actively replying to a thread my question is does this earn you more reputation because it’s behind the scenes same as the mod’s which in turn will add more credence to my posts when I do post even if I am totally off the ball in that answer a bit like this one really, there was nothing wrong with the old system you could still see how many times a person had been thanked under their name when they posted
I: E

Thanks: 9

Thanked 10 Times in 10 Posts

The ++^^program just informed me I have given out too much reputation in the last 24 hours and must try later if I want to enhance anyone's standing in the community. This is terrible as there are so many deserving of positive recognition and, of course, there are a few of us who must be busted down a notch or two. Oh, oh, I get it: I've just been busted down that notch or two, but that was by a darned machine.

Is there no justice??

The next time I have a good idea i'm keeping it to myself and figuring out a way to make money from it. You will then all be free to misinterpret it as much as you like for a small fee.

Now if you'll excuse me, me and my lonely green dit are off to compose another Christmas ditty.

There's the thanks thing. Button on the lower right and text count under your avatar.
Then there's the Reputation thing. Look at the small middle button on the lower left. Click on that to add to someone's "reputation".

He was indeed; Past tense being the key to that phrase.

Thank you, glorious one! Mad rep for that one I say!

You know, I don't really care one way or the other about the reputation system. I am amazed at the concern expressed however. My main concern remains at providing our members with the best straight razor information and assistance available. It has been that from the start and it will always be that for me. The true value of what you say and do on this forum can be seen and appreciated by all members all the time. That value is in how you help new people, the level or your craftsmanship and the willingness to share your knowledge with others.

Thanks folks,

Lynn

As always, Lynn, the true voice of reason.

Thanks for helping bring the forum's purpose back-to-basics, so to speak. We get so caught up in the forum world, that we forget the intent sometimes...

That's the problem with the Kool-Aid - it just tastes so good!

that it does. i will admit that i have been involved in some not so meaningful conversations on here and other forums. guilty as charged. hopefully any post i have made in the meaningful threads helped. my problem is that the MotoGP and WSBK and AMA seasons are over so i have nothing to watch or talk about.

i am at the point in my straight shaving journey where i can hone my blades to a pretty sharp and confortable edge, and my skills are not to bad. the only thing left is practice which takes time. it is going very well though with no frustration for wuite some time.

so for now i will indulge in the not so important threads a little. cuz really it makes no difference how many green things i have.
