Reputations - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I agree with Heren. I've got to admit... getting a new little green box made my ego purr like a kitten this morning. Many thanks to everyone who appreciates at least a little of what I say.

It's funny how little I appreciate others' reputations though. Well... allow me to rephrase: the reputation system here reflects real life for me. In RL, I don't care what anybody says about anybody else. I appreciate everybody until they give me reason not to, regardless of what other people have said. Same here: I might see eight boxes, or I might see one, but if I don't like what you're saying, chances are, I'll gloss over your post in favour of the one below it. I prefer direct references; if somebody actually says "Hey Fea, you should read this post." I'll go and read it, but if it otherwise doesn't look interesting, I won't click it just because of who started the thread.
