Nothing, davem, except that you are now deserving of a place at Elrond's Council.

Let me be the first to congratulate you on receiving the nifty new label. Nice work.

EDIT: You know... If I've got the wisdom of Gandalf, and Gandalf was seated in a nice important place at the Council of Elrond, than surely that means that I'm on the same level as davem. Go me!

That's all very well, but I'm wondering if I should accept - I've just got settled in Aragorn's Court, & it would mean packing up all my stuff & moving hundreds of miles north.

I suppose I must accept my destiny, though (awaits commiserations from all my former coleagues in A's C....)

Have we to pass round a leaving card and start up a collection for you?

I suppose I ought to be the second person to congratulate you...

All contributions gratefully accepted. I'll be waiting for the rest of you - I'll tidy up the place -these Elves all seem to have their minds on 'higher things' ... The dust in here is terrible...

Oooh, Elrond's council, whoever thought of that reputation liner congrats to thee.

Also, congrats Davem, you might want to take them rep jewels with you it could get lonely. Considering you are the only one at that reputation stage (so far) and seeing that Elrond isn't around anymore.

I suspect that's the reason for all the dust - the boss's away, so the staff just let things slide.....

One time I got a positive rep on a post that was deleted by a moderator shortly after.

I wonder why. Perhaps a moderator can tell us all why a reputation point would be deleted. So we all know for future times.

I think obloquy was talking about the actual post being deleted. The post that someone repped him for actually got deleted, not the rep points themselves.

Not a moderator, but just hazarding a guess, throwing in my '2 cents': what one person finds amusing or interesting, another may not, and similarly what may be considered by the author of the post and others on the board as well, may not actually be considered strictly suitable by a moderator and therefore deleted. Similarly it may just have such stupidly long sentences and awful grammar like this post that its simply a crying shame and would scare the children...

Just a thought. I mean, I've been surprised to be rated for a post before, a very short one - I wouldn't have expected to be rated for it, but someone on the board thought it was amusing, so, well, I ain't complaining. Similarly misunderstandings can come about from a post and so it may be rated negatively, even when the author did not mean it to be at all offensive - or it may be offensive yet someone finds it amusing and so positively rates it. If it actually is offensive or unsuitable, the moderators are just doing their job by deleting it. Don't worry, I'm fairly sure the admins don't roam the boards scrutinising reputations and then callously ghosting away the ones that have recieved rep points.

Well. Fairly sure. Who knows what admins do for a laugh? Off away in their barrows...busy moving in mysterious ways...
