Reputations - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Its the beautiful little symbol of justice in the corner my dear

Gil, people with less than 50 posts aren't allowed to give out reps.

I don't get very many reps for being funny... people tell me I have a strange sense of humor, though, so it doesn't surprise me.

Though I have gotten a handful or so of reps this month for being funny. Makes me happy.

I don't really have a trend, though... I tend to get reps from all over the place.

I do find, though, that I tend to get reps from posts that I would consider unextraordinary rather than posts that I think are particularly good. It's nice to be surprised, though.

well sorry if i was too busy doing the patented "Gil-Galad welcome" to the new downer-girls to read the memo...but my reps are mainly Crazy Captions...

Technically, I think that solarisa can give a rep, it's just not worth anything. I've gotten a rep from a new member and it was just the purple box; not worth any points. I could be wrong though, so if someone who really knows could tell us, that would be great. Please and Thank you!

Gurthang is right, and for all those who have questions about giving and receiving reputations, I have a wonderful secret tip! Go back to the first page of this very thread - yes, it's still there - and read The Barrow-Wight's posts, espcially #27, which explains the rules.

I almost feel bad that so many of my boxes are built from being funny, I'd like to be known for being intelligent, too.

Ditto. Still, it's like Boro88 said, when you don't have time to try to be intelligent...go for funny. Btw, thanks to Gurthang for putting me on the 'Straight Road' (or bounding me for it, whichever you prefer).

Well you can certainly include me on the list of those whose rep is dependent on spreading amusement rather than enlightenment.... embrace it... laughter is precious on this darkling plain...........
