So I decided to uprate the FIRST FIVE people that didn't post in that thread.
Wow, I'm sure the others are all broken up about this.

I'm going to modify my original statement about turning Rep back on because I see at least 5 people with 4 dots already, but most of them have "Rasied the rep". So I'm modifying my statement:

I will turn my rep back on once there are 5 people that didn't "raise the rep" that have 5 or more dots.

So basically the same thing, but I'll just be ignoring those other people. Well, not IGNORING them for real, but you know what I mean, ignoring them for the status of my rep display..... gyah you gotta know what I mean.

Option J.

You can check it out in your User CP, or look at the little square under your avatar, which will be red, green, light purple or dark purple.
Red is bad rep, green is good rep, light purple is neutral, and dark purple is turned off.

EDIT: Hey, that's a pretty cool feature. If you type your whole post in caps, the system automatically lowercases it for you, nice!

Apparently, there is rep and people care about it.
Like those stupid stars on the old forums.
Why are all these smileys terrible?

Because you didn't read the New Forum guide in my sig and get links to use all the old smileys?

And yet, your post in the Raise the Rep Farming Thread, which says this...

Seems to indicate that, yes indeed, you do tend to give out rep indiscriminately and not just to those deserving; and that yes indeed, you do intend to give out positive rep in that thread and not just negative.

That's a thread just begging for a forum rep war, and actually, it'll start internally as they realize that they only have a limited amount of times to give out rep, but many more people asking for the rep. So, the popular kids of the thread get the rep, and the others looking for a bump and yet denied because of the limits, will become increasingly agitated and demanding to be bumped like those who have four or five dots. When they don't get the bump like the others do, they'll turn on the top and negatively rep them as their way of getting ahead. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if those complaining of getting negative rep were negated by the other rep hounds of the very same thread.

It's inevitable.

Where do you get off implying to know just who is or isn't deserving of good rep?

I've been to all the forum meetings and no one elected you the Rep Faerie.

If a forum member chooses to only give out positive or negative rep then that's their choice and you can go pound sand. It's none of your business.
