Reputations points...

[Feanor]

Ok, so what's the deal here. There needs to be an easier way to both GIVE them and also to be aware of when you GET them. I have given out some and only received 3, but was not aware of it when it happened. It would be cool if reputable members had something by their name or under their name that indicated their status.

I've had six or seven hits including two Red and one Grey; (don't know what the latter means or how to grant them).

I've no real problem with Red points when I deserve them, and no doubt I say the silly or impolite thing in a weak moment. But I got no one but two Reds for my post on the 300 Blu-ray outsells HD-DVD by 2-to-1. That feed back wasn't helpful; I don't know what I said that was objectionable, and neither respondent left a comment.

Was I stupid to admit I didn't know whether Blu-Ray players did standard DVD. Was I out of order suggesting the the cost of HDTV's is a bigger problem for many than the cost of players?

Or did somebody just object to my not really liking 300? I'll never know. I have a couple of suggestions when you leave rep points:

1. Award points for based on good or bad insight, or good or bad behavior -- not just because you agree or disagree with a particular opinion.
2. Always leave a comment
