Sorry, was channeling some Kharn there.

I am not pointing fingers.
Not sure how long it will last but I just took a screenshot
you play that raise your rep game...
and so you felt the need to not atleast crop that picture?

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!
If I became a red name, I would be all "and what would you mere mortals like to entertain me with today, mu hu ha ha ha!" ~Arcanaville
I sent this off as a PM to P_P, but I honestly think it's worthy of public posting. RE: the rep farmers
"[They farm rep] Because they are idiots and jerks. Their entire thread to "raise the rep" is a complete joke and even more than that, DANGEROUS. They create "fake rep" which they can then later use to give their opinion more "weight" to newbies that may not know the difference. The only problem is, their opinion could easily be wrong and they could hurt new players who take them at their word because of their high rep count.
I've asked the admins to delete or lock the thread, but they don't respond at all. I can only hope that no one gets hurt from this seriously or are turned away from the game because of it."
Where reputation COULD have been serious business and helped new players or posters to discover who is useful and helpful to listen to, instead because of that thread, it's now SRS BZNS and basically a joke.
11 of the top 15 "reputable" forumites on the member list got there because of that thread and solely because of that thread.
Samuraiko (Dark_Respite) originally posted in that thread but wisely deleted all of her posts in it and hasn't posted there since, which makes me respect her again. If she didn't do that, she'd make it 12 out of the top 15, but because of her taking herself out of it, I'm taking her out of that count.
A rising tide raises all boats, as they say. The more rep they give to each other, the more rep power they have to give to each other in the future. It's artificial inflation basically.
That's why I've started to ignore the rep system entirely. It had a CHANCE to be useful at the start, but it's basically just a big joke now. I don't care what position I'm in at all with the way this thing is going. I'm much more interested in the comments posted now than I am in some score which is now essentially meaningless.
Is that your real head?
One of them, yes.
I jumped on your bandwagon PK. Mostly because I love the comments I've gotten so far. I wanted to share, though I did remove the names so as not to embarrass anyone.
Bah, the way I see it, if they don't want their names known, they wouldn't ADD them. To have your comment not be anonymous, you have to CHOOSE to manually type your name out.
But I like my comments and my commenters. Since the rep thing is kinda private (it's only known that so-and-so repped you if you post it) I figure it's like a PM (private message) and I dun wanna out someone like that. Seems... wrongish or something.
I have a neg rep that says rabbit humper >.>

Arc #271637 - Welcome to M.A.G.I. - An alternative first story arc for magic origin heroes. At Hero Registration you heard the jokes about Azuria always losing things. When she loses the entire M.A.G.I. vault, you are chosen to find it.
Could you perhaps clarify your point a bit more, preferably without the assumptions and negativity? Because I'm failing to understand where 'rep = off = BAD PERSON', and would like to understand from whence came you to this conclusion.

I did not say or infer that not showing rep makes you bad. You somehow gleaned that from the post. I don't know where you drew this "rep off = bad" thing from. Maybe you need to watch your own assumptions.
