Reputations

[Gothmog]

Being buddy-buddy with the some of the other downers before hand doesn't hurt much, either

I'll remember that to the next time I join the Downs I think Crazy Captions is a really good place to be too. I haven't been as frequent poster there lately as I was in the beginning. Maybe time for a come back!

One thing I've wondered about is the green/yellow squares indicating rep point. Why do they turn yellow? Is it just a way of simplifying counting of the squares? I read the early post in this thread and someone said that you need more than 100 p per square when they're yellow, but so far I've not noticed any difference. Could somebody confirm that it lacks any deeper meaning? Thanks...

Many people on the downs do misuse negative repping

Not only do I think that's a poor excuse for negative rep, but I don't think you should negative rep somebody on the grounds of disagreeing with them.

I think the Negative reps are for people who disrupt (spammers as Gothmog says) or people who are way off track and post something that has nothing to do with the discussion topic. And even then I can still tolerate a lot of it and simply ignore it.

I actually think that's what it is. Perhaps it's not. I don't know all the "titles," but up until you get to "Aragorn's Court" all the green boxes represent 100 rep pts. The rest of the boxes (should be yellow once you reach Aragorn's court) means it took more than 100 rep points, I don't know the numbers. One of them I think you need like 500 points to get to the next title...something like that.

To get from one box to the next:

Box 1: 0 points
Box 2-6: 100 points each
Box 7-10: 200 points each
Box 11: 500 points

Hope that helps.

EDIT: Okay, that should be right now. Sorry, I forgot that you get one yellowish box before it starts counting by 200.

[Gothmog]

Are you sure of that, Gurthang? Because I count my boxes to 7, but my rep points stops at a sum under 800.

But thank you, very helpful!

[Eonwe]

woah! didn't even notice the yellowness!

[Gil-Galad]

i have 10 boxes and 1477 points...

[Gurthang]

Perhaps I should rephrase my statement.

0-99 points = 1 box
100-199 = 2 boxes
200-299 = 3
300-399 = 4
400-499 = 5
500-699 = 6
700-899 = 7
900-1099 = 8
1100-1299 = 9
1300-1499 = 10
1500+ = 11

Alright, changed again. I believe that is right.

My previous synopsis shows how many more points you need to get to gain another shiny gem.
