Rep

[IrishCanadian25]

Is it important, or not?

I say yes. It's affirmation of well thought out posts, witty comments, and all of the things that make these forums fun. Plus, it comes from peers, and often the ones who have the most rep to give are among the most respected on the board, and they've earned that rep power.

I am one of those compulsive rep-checkers, and I love to know if someone appreciates or disapproves of a post.

But what do YOU think? Is rep important?

I check it about every ten minutes actually. The problem is, almost all of the regulars have full bars now so where do we go from there?

rep comments are cool but I cant say as I am too fussed about the little green bars.

 

[Eternal Dragon]

Well...people care, but I still think it's worthless.

Not sure you noticed, but a couple months ago I stretched out the # of rep points it took to get to full bars. Jake thought I'd cause a riot, but not a soul even noticed at all. It now takes 5,000 rep points to get up to full.

 

[klunderbunker]

Yeah, but don't most of us already have that? Or is there a new level added?

 

[Steamboat Ricky]

I only have a measly 1800

 

[klunderbunker]

Greatly suprising.

It's not that important but it does serve a purpose

Keep rep. Do it.

It's my reason for living.


Actually, it's just nice to know you're appreciated.

I'm the same. I check it , but I don't post enough.

Well, I'm a big fan of rep. As others have said, its nice to know when you're appreciated. I have a feeling that if the rep system wasn't in place, I probably wouldn't be posting much, cause I would think nobody cared about any of my posts in particular, you know? So many members, so many topics, so many posts...they get lost. When someone pinpoints a post of yours and dishes out some rep, its a smirk moment.

But now that I'm hearing it takes 5000 points to get full rep, I'm a little disillusioned lol. I only have 1283 haha.

you should only be able to rep posts in non spam areas.


that is all

Agreed!

Rep!

 

[Mighty NorCal]

You can keep it for the Wrestling LDs too. some great insight comes out of those.

I'd like the idea of it taking 5000 rep to get all your green bars, if we could make it so that thats how it worked for everyone. I know I'd be knocked back a few bright green if that were the case, but I think it'd be better that way, easier to tell whos higher in the WZ world. Basially, the person with the most rep should be the only person with full rep, and he should be the measuring stick for everyone else, know what I mean?

 

[Murfish]

I wouldn't mind if it left.

True story.

 

[Eternal Dragon]

I remember the forum without rep...it wasn't that bad at all!

The only problem I have with it is the rep trading the Santino Club does.

I honestly agree. I red rep them when they beg for rep.

 

[My$terio_Fan]

I enjoy rep. I really like it when I get repped for my wrestling posts since it means somebody thinks I made a good point or had a valid argument.

 

[Khalifa]

yes it is worth it. it defines such great posters from other posters in here.

The only important factor of rep is that you're able to recieve feedback about your posts from other people. I enjoy reading a nice long rep comment on what they enjoyed/disliked about my post. Constructive criticism is always a good thing.

Well, I'm off to watch the end of this Boston massacre of the Trail Blazers and relax with a brew or two.
