Reputations - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Feanor of the Peredhil · 03-03-2005, 06:24 AM

I've only posted two negative reps. I signed both. One was directed at a member who was making every effort to obnoxiously shoot down a really good thread. The other one was at a randomly-lettered n00b who posted some thread or another called "adult" something-or-other. My initial thought being "what the...?" I clicked the thread and realized it was some perv with no clue on how things are done around here. And so, in the grand scheme of things, he/she got a "Get a life. This site is family-friendly. ~Fea" before Esty (very quickly) made the thread nonexistant.

Eruanna has shown the wisdom of Gandalf or so it says when I hover my mouse over the little green coloured icons.
There are two little icons under my name and yet other members have also shown the wisdom of Gandalf and there are more icons under their names. It's no biggie, but I don't quite get it.

Thank you, by the way to those people who have said that they appreciated my few humble posts in 'Books'. I have recently returned to the 'Downs and having also just re-read the trilogy, I'm finding a bit more to say, and a little more courage than when I was previously a regular here!

100 rep pts= 1 green Jewel (until you start getting higher up then it's like 200 pts or something like that). Then every so often you get a title change. I think once you get to 4 little jewlies you'll get the "fame of Frodo" title. Then 6 is "you would be welcome at Aragorn's court." So yes, some people may have more jewels and still the same title...

You'll find more information on the rating system if you go back to the first page of this thread and read the posts there, especially The Barrow-Wight's.

Thank you, Boromir and Estelyn. It was only a minor musing

I did read the beginning of the thread and the BWs posts, but obviously not closely enough!

I wonder if anyone has noticed that The Saucepan Man and davem now sit on high Taniquetil. The perfect spot for a wedding, if you ask me, once a certain boggart ascends the mountain.

Hearty congrats to all involved, but this raises an intriguing question.

If six enhanced jewels get you all the way to Taniquetil, where in the world do you end up if you manage to collect all eleven? And what title could you possibly bear in those interim four steps along the way?

Perhaps the final jewel puts you in Eru's presence and the ones before that have you serving on the council of Manwë or in the household of Varda? Hmm.... Anyone else have ideas on this, or you may want to tell me to be patient and wait.....
