Reputation points?

[brianman]

Giving a reason and signing should be the normal practice. I always do that and wish more people would do the same.

Sometimes I wish I could give reverse rep for entertaining rep comments.

 

[gpetti]

I do, too. I'm always puzzled when I get unsigned reputation "comments" (often even without any comment)...

Oh, they all came from me, was shy. Feel free to reciprocate

I am handing out reputation comments to all of you participating in this. Here: here's yours.


PS: Check for S&H Green Stamps. Now: does anyone else also remember its rival, Plaid Stamps?

Nonono... you said I shouldn't beg YOU for reputation points...
I don't recall conversation about not begging AudubonB for points...

Anyway... I'm off going to see my reputation points addict self help group...
today's guest speaker has THIRTEEN green bars...

I wonder how many Points-In-Memoriam should be bestowed upon the first participant of this thread who bans him/herself?

What a lovely gift. I came back from the Effingham supercharger opening to find my fourth green bar installed next to my name.

You need SOME reward for being in effingham.

 

[Doug_G]

That's a terrible name.

 

[AudubonB]

Precisely. It sounds like something a Londoner would say after having had to visit Birmingham.

 

[FlasherZ]

Yes, but they make a great Effingham sandwich, even if you don't like ham.

The grocery store where my mother shopped was "Big Bear" in Ohio, so we got Buckeye Stamps instead:

I was able to confirm this formula with a few members. Some were actively trying to throw me off track (gee, thanks, bonnie), but this seems to be fairly close:
1 point per year on TMC
1 point per 100 received reputation points
1 point per 1000 posts
Anyone who is willing to share their numbers with me to either confirm or deny these results will be rewarded with positive reputation

Yes, extra power came with 4 years anniversary last week and again with passing 12,000 posts this week....

1 point per year on TMC

Hmmm...

Really?

Hmmm...

Really?

The 'one point per year' has to do with reputation power (how many points someone receives when you leave them reputation), not number of green bars.

Fear NigelM...
oh, ha, almost forgot, not a mod anymore, so he can only use his power for good!

Really?

So you should have reputation power of 11
9 (for time wasted on TMC) + 1 (for more than 1k posts) + 1 (for more than 100 reputation points)

Your two green bars indicated that you have between 100 and 199 reputation points.

Science. It's awesome.

 

[brianman]

time wasted on TMC

"invested in"

 

[dirkhh]

"invested in"

Right. My mistake. And the ROI is... valuable reputation points...

Or influencing former colleagues.
