I'm Turning My Rep Off

I'll add another reason here: my latest rep level said "PK is a glorious light".

And that would TOTALLY go to my head. Pretty soon I'd be passing out fish and loaves of bread by the dozen, walking on water, and turning lead into gold and water into wine. In my head at least. So yeah, time to put that idea out of it's misery before it's too late.

Yes, over on the User Control Panel Hobo, click the link in the top left corner of this page that says User CP.

There you can see on the right hand side if you scroll down all your Rep and comments. You should probably also read this thread Hobo, it might help.

To see the "rep rankings" go to the Member List up at the top there and then sort the results by the Reputation column.

"i'm a jerk! just look at this helpful thread i made!"

Jerks can still be helpful. One doesn't exclude the other. By the way, your avatar looks really stupid and I hate the fact that I don't know what to call you because you have no name.

So I'll call you Fartknocker. Yeah, that works for me. Uhuhuh-huhhuh.

Thanks PK!

Still trying to figure out this newfangled forum.

That link should really help you out then, it'll give you a head start on figuring most of the stuff out.

By the way, are they going to ever let me back in the Repeat Offenders ever?

I got kicked out apparently for being a jerk, though no one here seems to think I am a jerk for some reason.

So, if your rep is off, can someone still use the reputation button to send feedback/vitriol?

I think that is something that is up to a vote of the leadership, which is made up of all of the SG leaders, which is a lot of people. Not sure how trying to get reinstated works. Probably a better question for Alty.

I currently don't have a star in any RO group, I can't stay logged into one character, so they always lapse on me, auto demoted and I never get them back.

Well those SG leaders are the same ones that kicked me.... I guess I'm boned...

Hmmmmm.....

Okay... of those who have their rep turned on...

1 of 161,403 (.00062 %) gets 5 green dots
1 of 161,403 (.00062 %) gets 4 green dots
5 of 161,403 (.00309 %) gets 3 green dots
28 of 161,403 (.017348 %) gets 2 green dots
698 of 161403 (.432458%) gets 1 green dot

Total green dots = 733 of 161,403 = .454143 %

Neutral dots = 160,605 of 161,403 = 99.5056 %

Total Red dots = 65 of 161,403 = .040272 %

(only 1 with 2 red dots.. no need to rub that one in)

I believe so.

Yeah, and I was the first one with five dots, so what are you saying? I don't get what the stats are supposed to mean.

Not necessarily. There have probably been at least 10 added since then, I really don't know how many, but I know three were added just in the last two weeks.

The rep thing is pretty goofy but it's confirmed certain things.

Those that are "Hahaha look at me and how witty I am! I'm also part of X and Y cliques, would you like my latest soufflé recipe?" are at the top.

UniqueDragon is at the top because s/he owns and is a forum Legend.
Now, PK deserves to be up there as well. IMO he has contributed guides, time, zaniness, some oddball wisdom. Pretty good stuff overall.

It's just...you know, a popularity contest with no visible reward. I'd rather be known ingame for the help I give others than for some rating here. And yes, before you bring up the Rep Padding thread I posted in, that was mostly to just bump as many people up/down as I could in a limited time. Sadly, you can only add/remove rep a limited number of times a day so that's useless.

Anyway PK, you're right again...

it seems like an easy problem to fix

half of me wants to channel the spirit of the free market and argue that competition for rep rank is, in fact, good for the community, but i really don't have the patience
I'll admit I've not seen too many of PK's posts, but it certainly seems like he's trying not to be #1.


@craggy see me on Union for TFs, SFs (please!) or just some good ol fashioned teaming.

Hmm. I quietly turned mine off when we got the new boards, who knew I was supposed to make a post about it.

you should figure out some way to show your sig at the top of every post, and then make that your sig.

Why the hate in adding to rep? I subtracted from it, in the hopes that one day his rep will be low enough that he feels he can reactivate it.

The only way I'd probably reactivate it is if someone that I DESPISE somehow ended up at the top spot. Then I'd have to reactivate it and do whatever I could just to knock that person down. But since there are very few people that I despise, and I doubt they'd ever make it to the top, I don't think that'd happen.

I disagree.

Not only does it give you the opportunity to tag someone as disagreeable that other people may agree with, it give you the ability to insult them at range with a comment that only they can see, and pretty much must see when they open their options window. That nasty comment could come from anywhere and you have no idea where it came from

It also allows populars (as a cliche term) to bully outsiders.

Hey, at least you're modest, right?
