Thread: Reputation frustration

Can someone with the proper powers transfer half my reputation to Heavydutysg135, Randydance062449, AfDavis11, or any one of the other seasoned hone-, strop- and shave-masters, who earned their stripes long before the installment of the green dots.

Or, even better, jettison the whole charade and be done with it once and for all.

No one asked, (SydneyKidney asked for a +1 button, which is an entirely different thing), and I wonder if there's anyone truly happy with the current situation, that seems to reflect... well, what does it reflects, actually? I don't know.

I understand that someone (probably David Wessel) has gone through the effort of installing the expansion. I think StraightRazorPlace rocks, with or without the reputation ratings. I salute those that put their energy in making this place my favorite website. My cyberhome! Now, where did I leave my slippers?

Thanks,

Bart.

I thought the green dots just meant someone has posted a certain amount which in my case means nothing other than spending too much time on SRP rather than providing me with any sort of credibility.

It is more than just post count (I don't know if that factors in at all, actually). Would someone be so kind as to explain what it IS?

I agree Bart. In fact, I agree so much that I gave you some rep for the post, in the hope that the aura you have about will develop into a glorious beacon of light in the near future.

I agree Bruce. In fact, I agree so much that I gave you some rep for the post, in the hope that the fame you crave will develop into a spectacular aura about, and perhaps (in the fullness of time) turn you into a diamond in the rough before flowering into a glorious beacon of light in the near future.

Hmmm, I didn't like the reputation thing either until I got a second green thingie Then I felt like it was kind of cool. Kidding aside, I don't feel one way or the other about it but I certainly agree with Bart that Heavydutysg135, Randydance062449, and AfDavis11should have a whole heap of green dots. I'll throw The Topher and mparker762 in there for good measure.

Hmmm... green spots: I see them but don't have the faintest idea what they mean. Could we maybe get some red ones too for nice Christmas colors? And maybe a coupla dreidls for Hanukkah.

Oh, and a secret room for the guys...

Now, if I whine too much do I get the figurative lumps of coal black spots? Lemme work on this a bit and get those BTUs ready.

I don't have any rep, but I love seeing those three names together . . .

You've got more rep then you think with or without the green things.

Oh Bravo Jimmy!! That was very well said indeed

If I had not already given you rep for something else earlier, I'd rep the hell out of you for that post my man!

On that topic, why can't I re-rep someone who does or says more than one excellent thing in a row? That is perhaps, if we keep this inane system, the most infuriatingly stupid aspect of the whole debarkle.
