I'm sure I missed the memo or something but how do we get these rep's under our names. What's the going number for the ******* college student type who has 6,000 posts :D?

I don't know what I've done recently to get such a low reputation. If I pissed anyone off I'm sorry. :( I'll do whatever I can to make up for it.

I've already given the mods an earful about this, but it's freaking ridiculous. Do you know how much time I've taken to help people on these forums?

I know we've had a thread about people who don't say "thank you," but this is some kind of "thank you" to me. See if I help anyone with their HP printers anymore.

This is the first time I think the MR mods have done something really stupid. I know it's Arn's sandbox, but if we're going to implement a reputation system, shouldn't there be an open conversation first?

So this is all legit then? I must say I thought it was just the demi's getting cliquey again.
 
All I can say is... WTF?! I just noticed this today and I'm not happy. Reputations ARE a bad idea. If this is some sort of game or prank, I'm not playing. Please fix this ASAP. If this is for real and reputations are going to be a part of MR then I'm out of here... :mad:

[EDIT: Someone was listening... my rep was removed.]

weird... didn't notice this rep thing

Neither did I.

I guess that is because I was posting on here with my Powermac 8500 with both CSS and Images off in Netscape. The funny thing is both you and I have been posting in the same threads allot, and I didn't notice it until now?

When did these start to appear?

Of course that's what it is. Either that or MR has gone completely mad (which I sincerely doubt).
 
dpaanlka said:
Dunno... your 8500 should be able to handle images fine in Netscape tho. It's CSS that makes it super slow.

True, however the speed isn't the issue. The system only has 32mb of RAM, so I turned off images so I don't have to use VM so much :)

I am still looking for memory for that thing, the key is price at this point.

Hmm... couldn't I just photoshop a perfect 10 rep onto my avatar? :D


No...I tried:( The rep number comes up on the "Tar you upload, so you have 2 Rep numbers,and looks terrible*

*Atleast it did for me

(I mean I did get a 1.0 so I try anything to get it higher! Do you all hate me that much :( )

I just got home from uni and now my rep is lower!

What happened? :confused:
I've been a good girl!

Perhaps members who are one-trick ponies - er, hand models, sorry - aren't regarded too highly here... :eek: :p :D

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean.

he/she means that you're making useless, mindless comments (at the expense of others) to increase your post count to 500... so you'll be able to get an avatar.

i'm workin hard to get there too :)

It doesn't take as long as you think. But there is some suspense when you get close and you just want to reach 500.
 
yawn, the new demi game is being a stealth and putting a reputation on the bottom of your avatar. meh. im off to eat some pancakes;)

Well, I think that's a tad harsh - especially in a thread like this. I meant no harm to them. Also I've never been interested in the 500 post thing. The MR hierarchy is about the only thing I don't like about this board.
