'Top' Reputation Givers - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Boromir88 · 10-22-2004, 08:42 PM

Ahh, now that list makes more sense to me, since I really just kind of figured out how to give reputation some 2 months ago. I'm slowly but surely finding out all the nicks and crannies, of this wonderful forum

.

What we really need is lots more tables like this, so as to keep Professors Hedgethistle and davem fully occupied in their attempts to top them.

Barrow-wight, are you going to update this every month or whatever? Because that is only going to encourage people to rate just about every post they see.

*subliminal note, rate this post*

Oh I feel less guilty now.....less parasitic. But it was ages before I noticed the rep thingy ... I was so surprised when I looked at the CP and found comments lol ....

I think it will just be an incentive to take the trouble to encourage good posting, and perhaps try to widen the range ... I don't keep a record of whom I rep but so often I get told to spread it around.It is not intentional. Just the same people tend to crop up on the same boards.

A concern I share. It's all well & good to rate posts, & I like this newest invention the BW has come up with. But there's a difference between wanting to get high up on the list, so you go browsing for great posts to rate, & wanting to get high up on the list, so you go rating just about every post you see. If people start rating just about everything (not that anyone on a site such as the Barrowdowns would

) than it greatly cheapens the worth of any & all reputation points received.

Ok, I really want to know who the anonymous rater of my above post was, because that's very amusing to me. All convenient/ironic comments on the content aside, it was a fabulous post and well worth the rating.

On an aside, I have noticed that I have been getting rated a lot more recently. I do wonder, sadly, if it's because of this thread rather than anything I bring to the forum.

Maybe they just want to show their appreciation..... but as long as people leave their names youwill know if they are stalkers, rating-grabbers or true fans .. or in some cases screaming fan girls...

May be we need an honesty box for returning points we feel we don't deserve .....
