Actually, I think the longest thread is 20 Questions on ME! That thing has around 65 pages!

Ah but would you ever read it from start to finish? Alas, Quiz and Quotes Room threads are not the best places to gain rep. Unless, of course, you think of a really, really, really, clever question ...

Actually, I think the record is held by the original Palantir of Fortune thread, which currently stands at 82 pages!

Wow, well done Squatter! I agree with Estel, lots of the most highly reputed posts are some of the longest. They also use big words too

. I was quite surprised that I made snuck into the top 10

and I think that SpM's astute pick up on the thread starters getting the most rep is quite, well, astute.

Fordie: ...Canonicity?

Well, some threads I run TO. Some I run FROM. And some threads fall into both categories depending on-- er-- the availability of mental energy, the level of stress in my life, and (as Saucie would say) the availability of wet, hot towels.

I love the reputation system, but it can also easily be misused. A cousin of mine jokingly posted that another bder was 'posting just to post posts' following a post that didn't seem to follow any particular path (of course you could make an argument my cousin shouldn't have posted that, but that's not the point here), & was promptly rated negativly by the bder because he thought he was making a serious accusation. You've got to be able to take jokes & read the between the lines as well, not every post is going to be accompained by a smiley that signifies its meaning. Be careful with how you deal out your subtractions & you won't have to worry about rating anyone negativly for something that was meant innocently enough.

Well thats right Estel.But what I want to ask is if someone rates posts negatively do they have to give a reason for it?? .( Because one of my posts has been rated negatively and the one has'nt left any reason

).

Rutslegolas, they don't have to give a reason. It's jut bad form not to.
