'Top' Reputation Givers

[The Only Real Estel]

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

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 .....
