Rep points

[afx]

I see that like 50% of the rep points I get are the grey ones because people dont have I think its 50 posts or more. Can we drop that down a bit cause alot of people dont post alot like Glock in the lounge. Just a suggestion!

From what I can tell, it's vBulletin, not SlickDeals.net with the pre-set conditions:

Have you ever had a date care about rep points?

Does anyone list rep points on a resume?

Does your mom brag to her friends about how many you have?"My son is a cardiologist." "Irene, did you know that my son has 167 rep points on Slickdeals?" "Oh Stella, you got me there!"When we meet St. Peter, will he care how many rep points we have?

[afx]

if that were true then why do people play games. Im not saying my life isnt complete without rep points. It was just a suggestion.

[iampakky]

I see that like 50% of the rep points I get are the grey ones because people dont have I think its 50 posts or more. Can we drop that down a bit cause alot of people dont post alot like Glock in the lounge. Just a suggestion!

I don't think that helps much because you would get 50% more just as others. Economically, this just devalues a point of reputation.

it doesn't matter, as long as he cares.

and what he asked was why half of his points are grey, not 'what good would these points do in the non-slickdeals world'.

devalues the point of reputation? there is a value?

[XXnarg]

The concern over rep pts. is puzzling, but I understand OP has a right to be concerned about them.

Why be concerned over rep points? I am confused? If he is that upset then I will give him +2.

The concern over rep pts. is puzzling, but I understand OP has a right to be concerned about them. Agreed, it's puzzling, but I would argue noone has a right to be concerned about them- they are an intangible counter of a virtual "pat on the back" arbitrarily given to a member for something they have done, have not done, said, or have not said.

The only person with a right to be concerned about them could be concieved to be Mr Slickdeals himself as it's his website. Personally I think they are one of the worst additions to the site- all they have done is create contraversy. The intention, while honerable, was and is flawed by basic human nature which is demonstrated over and over in posts like this.

This is actually the second coming of rep points. Correct me if i'm wrong, but from what I was lead to believe was that the original system allowed negative reps to be handed out. This thread would have been a prime candidate for the old rep system. :lol:

[moey]

Wohoo.. -1 rep point for this thread.. Does it really matter to anyone what there rep points are or the number of posts they have made. You still get stuck reading garbage. See case in point you read my post and are probably going to reply.

I wasn't going to reply, but I had to after that remark :lol:

Yes, it did. That was one of its worse aspects.

[Geeke19]

well I see somebody cried about my post and it was remove from this thread.

[LucaBella]

well, what was your post about?

[kcb]

I have none, so quityer... JK. Sorry, had to lighten up the thread a bit...

What could have been so bad Geeke?

[arjunsr]

IDK, there are no deleted posts in the threads :confused:

[Anonymouse]

Do like I do, give a rep point for a person when it's deserved or "earned" but I ALWAYS give a "huggie" (use the :hug2: smiley for good posts, even if they are just replies). I have recently been adding the following to the bottom of any post where I hand out a "huggie"

_______________________________________________________________________
Join the movement for "huggies" and "slappys" much more reliable than rep points which are cold & unfeeling. Huggies and slappys are emotionally based and give a more accurate depiction of a persons character. Besides, then even the "slappys" crowd could feel they, at least, got SOMETHING. :P

Hahah sometimes a huggie is all I need :)
