Detective work is actually fun.

Just bear in mind that an unsigned positive rep may mean that the donor does not want their opinion publicised

rather than they were forgetful....

?Unsigned neg rep is a different matter .. now that I have experienced it I think that unsigned with a comment is actually more annoying than a blank response. Personally, it makes me far less inclined to take what may be a valid point on the chin if the person correcting you doesn't put their name to it.

I've noticed that the vast majority of the time when I post something that gets multiple reps, all of them tend to come within a couple hours after I post it (or if it's late at night, all of them come overnight) - very few if any come in after that. I would think that, being as spread out across timezones as we are, the reps would be more spread out as well. Has anyone else noticed this?

I got an unsigned positive rep for Palantir the other day. Not just unsigned in fact but uncommented. Neither has ever happened before. Still, it's a positive rep so woo!

And yes Firefoot I had noticed that but it happens less with me. It does seem odd but perhaps you post at a time when there are lots of people from lots of differen timezones?

I just got an unsigned positive rep from someone for my bagpipe picture. In reposnse to your question, no I don't really play the bagpipes, but the street performer who's body I inhabited does. Thanks for the rep!

thanks to Valier for her rep about my siggy, the basic story behind it is that me and some friends are actually forming a webcomic, so i might have a little section about the adventure of Gil-galad, which would have my weird moments and my funny moments of my comedy-ensuing life. hopefully it will be up during this summer if we get to work on it

I have a bad habit of going to the members list and switching it to the by reputation mode and then looking where I am. Sometimes I'm at the bottom of the second page, sometimes I'm at the top of the third page. It delights me if I get to the second page; I feel I'm very high-class.

Does anyone else admit doing this or something similar?

That is, of course, how I spend a shocking amount of my time at the Downs. I justify it by thinking that the good opinion of such venerable wights is the most valuable commodity on the internet, but it's probably just vanity. In my defence, I also look to find out whether people are where I think they deserve to be in the rankings. It's always nice to see on-line friends or members I respect doing well.

Speaking of popularity contests, my reputation caption appears to have changed to 'The Squatter of Amon Rûdh wonders what happened to the reputation system". Has anybody else seen that one yet? I think it might well be my favourite so far.
