Sheesh. I'll go for a walk in the woods above the city, and look for mushrooms. I thought the war was over. Guess not!

It's also nice to have the women around to serve the drinks. Cf. Galadriel and Eowyn.

Super Stars
I, being an admin, have the wonderful ability to drag people down from their Super Star status, especially if they are chatting in this forum about that very topic. Not that I'd ever have to do such a thing, considering how quickly such folks take a hint.

On topic
Well, we do take hints, Messrs.
 So question about reputations in general: We are not likely to see a development in other direction - the only person not to have green sqaure has a blue one and is merely 'slipping'. It's good to have it so - for one, it shows we do not have particularly bad posters (i.e. 'trolls') around. Secondly, it shows we ourselves are not that wicked - we tend to give positive rating or nothing rather than rate someone down. But, with dying cats swinging to and fro inside my mind, I, showing my purely scholastic curiosity, would be glad to learn what titles go in opposite direction. Suppose we had someone with seven red squares, what would be his titulage? So and so is Morgoth's buddy? I'm asking for that kind of knowledge only as I hope (and I'm almost 100% sure) we have no chance of ever seeing it happening with our own eyes. So, what's there in store for those going in other direction? thanks and cheers

The Negative Titles
Since it seems that no one plans to earn those dastardly negative titles (and would we really allow anyone to sink that low?), I guess I can go ahead and reveal what I chose for each one. But first I will remark how the designers of the reputation system must have been aware that few people would end up on the disreputable side of the line, because in the default titles that came with vBulletin, there were only a few levels beneath 0 and several on the positive side. Assuming the software developers had chosen these setting intentionally, I decided I would not add any levels. I did change the number of posts needed to ascend (or descend) a notch, and, of course, I changed the titles. The original titles were all non-Middle-earthish and terribly uninteresting.
Here are the realms of rottenness that none of our member have managed to fall to. 10 This is where everyone "has started the path to adventure." 0 This person "is slipping." -10 This guy "has been acting like Ted Sandyman." -50 This girl "is as unpopular as Bill Ferny." -150 This creep "makes more trouble than Gollum." -500 This loser "ruins every discussion like Wormtongue." And now you know the rest of the story. P.S. Please don't ask how many positive levels there are or what their titles are. You'll have to find out when you get there

Just so you know, Sauce, I repped this post the other day. I'm sure you recognise it.
