Reputations - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Well, I left Aragorn's court under the cover of darkness, in rather a hurry. Arwen warned me that Anduril was getting jealous. Pah! Dwarvish upstart of a blade...can't even talk, so far as I've heard...

I don't think the reps are such a big deal. I always used to look at post count for a quick judgement of members and how wrong is that?

It's like the clothing we wear. Sure, someone could have really nice, expensive clothes but that doesn't make them fashionable.

Anyway, what was my point? Oh yeah, good posts don't have to have good reps and neither do people. Hopefully no one goes off of the reps too dependantly, and if they do, they're loss.

The Good People: The ancients: Usually quite learned in all that is Tolkien, usually aged a bit, usually good writers.

The Newbies: Fresh ideas, new inspirations and dynamics to each thread.

And that has nothing to do with Reps.

And then there's the middle. All us who sit here somewhere between 2 and 6 rep boxes, usually without titles, and a lot of the time are teenagers who secretly want to be noticed by the new and the old alike. We're the ancients in training perhaps.

the reps can be abused sometimes, like on myself, i get bad reps for pretty stupid things...

If you're posting stupid things then surely you deserve bad reps.

Agreed Eomer.

Question: Does every little green box represent a hundred rep points? If so, somethin' is out of what with mine.

Not necessarily: lower down the reputations system, at one or two or three little green boxes, each box is less than 100 points I think. I think the boundaries get higher as you move up.

Hmm, really? Okay then, just wanted to make sure.
