    How come my reputation is so low?

    Hey, guess I'm not very observant because I just noticed the reputation icon at the bottom of one of the posts, next to the poster Online status, so checked and my reputation points are way low, near zero, but at least still positive. Can they go negative? Do you sometimes rate posters? What makes for a good post? Linear thought progression? Topical subject matter? Comedy? Names of artists you recognize? Lightly veiled sexual innuendos? Avatars with large exposed boobs? Somebody must rate these things

    You're in danger of getting booted off that distinguished road.

    Hmmm, I have 17 reputation points. Do I get a free post when I hit 20 or something

    Isn't everyone on the same road? What's below the distiguished road?

    Kiss ass ... maybe even 18 now after your thoughtful response to my excellent Josh Ritter post ...that'll probably get me into the negatives.

    The extinguished road, obviously

    I was once infamous around these parts. What happened, am I merely famous now?

    Yes. But on a side note, all posts are free. Enjoy the extra one, when you earn it.

    Kind of deflating to find out that we all start with 10 points, huh?

    Well...at least I haven't done anything to have points taken away. Yet.

    Feel free to pity-click my rep icon anyway. My fragile self-esteem could always use the empty gesture of support.

    No, you seem to have made a wrong turn and missed the distinguished road, though it is something to be infamous too ...

    I think they use a formula based on your post count, how long you have been a member, and stuff like that to determine what your default value is, and the same applies to how much weight the person rating your post has. Like, you could rate my post but it probably wouldn't count, whereas if FA nicked me I'd drop a bunch.

    This is actually news to me...I never noticed that before. I actually have ten, for what that's worth.

    Reputation indicator? What an a**hole of an idea.

    Maybe if you had 23 points like me you wouldn't feel that way (or maybe not)

    Wow, 45 points! My reputation is above ground now. You guys are making me feel all clammy inside

    Probably a backlash waiting to happen, but here's the proof that I was once a well respected man (comments removed to protect the innocent) ...

    Here's a good trivia question for all you RR's: Who do you think has this reputation?

    "________ has a little shameless behaviour in the past".

    I think he has received a few greenies as this is a step up from

    "________ can only hope to improve."
