Reputations points...

[JohnMichael]

Kex this is very good advice and how rep points are used on other forums. You deserve a greenie for this post.

Here's the thing - I'm sure most of us have been around longer than this reputation system thingy has.
Some of us have even been around long enough to see our post counts reset to "0" when the site format changed. Don't think we care too much about the number of greenies we get - they're fun, their nice, they make you tickle inside, but at the end of the day we don't judge others by the # of greenies.
Still, the rep system could be a useful tool if used properly by all. Why? Because people don't go out of their way to give greenies to others, so if you accumulate a bunch, you've made people smile in one fashion or another. Some of us have hundreds of posts since the rep system, and maybe a dozen reps from people? That's a low percentage of greenie worthy posts. So the greenies are given out rarely and are an exceptional case.

To "neg" a person is really something else. I would suggest bad posts that aren't deserving of a greenie should just be ignored for rep purposes. Let me say this in terms you'll understand:
IF you DON'T LIKE a POST, don't REWARD it with a GREEN CHICKLET.

Giving a red chicklet should be limited to exceptional posts as well - disgusting acts of personal attack - spam, etc. If a mod or a whole bunch of users don't post an objection to a post, it probably wasn't malicious or evil enough to warrant a red chicklet. Using the red chicklets anywhere else is just furthering petty personal agendas and diminishes the value such a system could have.

Judging by some of the threads and posts in which you've dished out red chicklets, you have absolutely no criteria at all - you just pick and choose which users you dislike and go out of your way to be a dickhead. You could at least be a man and give a good reason other than the fact it's your time of the month again.

Like it or not you're judged in the court of public opinion here, so don't take offense when a group of regulars see you for what you are and take you to task for it.
Stick with posting movie reviews and polls or whatever and quit worrying about other people's reputations. It might do something for your own.

Come to think of it, I'm giving you a reddy just for pandering.

That was cold blooded! Just for that and once I spread some love around, I am giving you a green chicklet just to make you feel bad for red-chickleting me, Beaaaaatch!

JSE, probably out of the top 10 now.

You mean, JSE probably out of the top 12 now.

Your lucky #13. With any luck you can beg your way up to 10.

[GMichael]

You guys are just plain mean to each other. Can't we learn to live in Harmony?

[L.J.]

And how do you know that I gave them to you for you to return them????? Hmmm?

Because you PM'd me and told me................HELLO, is anybody in there

LOL! BTW, where/how do you look up the rankings? I never realized they existed until today.

[L.J.]

....40 PeruvianSkies

Oh snap, I'm #1!!!! When did this happen, I didn't even prepare a speech.

(clear throat)

(tap, tap) Is this thing on



First I'd like to thank the little people. Peruvian, you have been such an inspiration. I will repay you as soon as I charge back up

Now to business.

There's going to be some immediate changes around here.

First I would like a daily thread, starting at 5am, dedicated to me and all my wondrous deeds.

Second, all rep point exchanges must be approved in advance, by me and me only.

Third, I will now only be addressed as Sir LJ. Sir T must move on for there is only room for one.

Now leave me.....................or you shall be banished as well.

Which was after you hit me back a few times, with your 'Back Atcha", which I narrowed down to you since it's rather ghetto talk and turns out I was right since you fessed up to it, I only gave you a negative when you and the others jumped on me collectively in the Blu-ray discussion. I don't have anything against you giving one back at all, go right ahead, but beware that when I disagree I will give them as well. What I don't appreciate is when you try and accuse me of something that I did not do, like sign in under 10 other names just to pull down your reputation, which if I did, certainly didn't work seeing as how you are numero uno. You also accused me of giving bad points to MarkW, then he proved that wrong with this post

[PeruvianSkies]

I must say that PS gave me several greenies over the past few weeks.

Which can be found here.

Excuse me, "ghetto" or not, I shall only respond to Sir LJ. Now away peasant, before my patience grows thin!

I wanna be your Lackey Sir LJ. Can you please give me a greenie so I may better serve you with a higher rank? I'll enforce all your rules with an iron fist.

PS. What topic would you like to address at 5:00 am tommorow? I'll start researching it as soon as you announce it.

It's been a real pleasure writing to you O'Master.

[noddin0ff]

Seriously, how much karma do I have to spread before I can re-ding someone? I'm not sure I have enough love to fuel my petty and vindictive tendencies...*sigh*

Yeah well, I have been informed by the AR gods that I have spread to much love in the last 24 hours. The system basically told me to take a cold shower!

I guess that's what i get for dropping to number 13. I have never even given a red chicklet so I should get some bonus greenies! That seems fair.

3 Negative Rep points today alone on just this thread...hmmm I wonder who those could be from....hmmmmm.

What's that all about? I use that phrase all the time, especially when reciprocating the lovin'. Of course I always sign everything and I had a problem with someone they would know about it long ahead of time.

Nevermind, some days I live a truly ghettofabulous existence.

It would be four if the site would let me, seems I've exhausted my repping abilities.

But thanks for the red chicklet anyway...

[L.J.]

Aww man, somebody hit me with a red chicklet and bumped me outta first place


PS, it wasn't me who sent one. 3 reds huh? Wow your gonna be joining Pix soon, if you keep it up.

Now run along and play and please try to stay away from those bullies today.

U da man Bobstick's

[GMichael]

PS gave me a greenie. He must like me better.

You can all call me King George now.

[Groundbeef]

...seems I've exhausted my repping abilities.

Did the Dr. say it was permanent?

[bobsticks]

U da man Bobstick's

I try, I try, L.J.

I've never known any "ghetto" characters to concern themselves with room treatments and bass equalization, compose clear, organized, and analytically advanced reviews on products, and generally treat others with a high degree of respect and consideration. Hell, you're so non-ghetto I've actually seen you misspell the word "homie"...

...I wonder what would cause someone to use that word as a descriptor for another person under those circumstances?

Dear King of Gutter,

Are you still on your vacation or just taking a break at work?
I swear I'm gonna quite my job, just so I can keep us this thread.

Now, I shall go and ration my chicklets.

Peace out,

[bobsticks]

Um, jay if I was still at work at 10:00 at night I would undoubtedly be a bigger jackass than this.

Go ahead and ration some of those little red babies over this way. Bring watchu got, but sign 'em or I'll send you the collective works of Kenny G on cassette.

[jrhymeammo]

Dear Sir KOG,

I think I need to adjust my user profile, cuz it states that you posted at 2:24PM today. Looks like my PC's telling me to move outta this hell hole.

Well, it's probably because you just gave me a red one, so you have to spread some more around before hitting me with another one.
