Reputation comments?

I'd like to know that too.

I usually give people rep points as thanks for helpful crits, especially if they take time to line-edit. Sometimes I also give it if a post makes me laugh, or if I just feel like saying something silly to the person and don't feel like using the PM function.

I have carried on entire conversations via rep-point giving and receiving.

plz don't ban me.

Where do you read the rep point messages?

I'm sure I don't have any yet since I just joined here, I was just curious since I haven't seen an option for it in the user control panel.

EDIT: I take that back. I have received a rep point. So I guess I know where to go now in the User CP. Can't miss it!

No rules really, just a way of letting folks know what you think about posts or anything, or a cheerful helloo-warm hug, or EEk, a blasted neg rep!

Oh, psh, I'm nowhere close to some of those other rep whores.

Yes, you. You know who I'm talking about.

You mean me, don't ya, Jo. I always rp a thanks back. Makes me feel good doing that.

Shoot, I'm glad you brought that up. I'm only used to checking PMs. I didn't realize people posted rep comments. They're going to think I'm such a snob! Yikes. I'll have to remedy that right away.

I usually forget to rep people back for sending me points. I don't think that's the way to go personally, if we rep people just for repping us.

I usually just send points for posts that either make a very good, articulate point, or make me laugh.

Oh, and when people insult Rllgthunder and Haggis.

Tee hee, I guess to get the first few rep points around here, all you have to do is ask!

Thanks to those who gave me a rep point for my inquiry.

Ignorance has never been so satisfying!

I didn't even know that rep points existed until I read this thread. OOPS. But now I know the secret to getting a spicy original avatar--too bad I don't have enough rep points for that yet!

Don't worry - Newbies are exempt from a few things because you are, well, newbies. Glad you have joined us. Welcome.

Ooh! I do this! Erin (Erinmiller77) and I have huge long conversations. It's fun.

I'm a rep whore



When people rep you, you reply by repping ME. I'm the go-between.

So that's where all my rep points have been going!

I'm a little backed up at the moment. Let me check:


your reps are numbers 12,056-12,467 on my waiting list. Should come by December.

Neither did I, but I still don't know where to find them... can someone point me to them?

I would, but it would be turning you on to the more habit forming drugs this society has to offer.


Just say no.

Like I said in my post, you receive the messages on the opening page of your User Control Panel (it's the User CP link at the top of the forum boxes but below all the header crap for the page.)

You can apply reputation by clicking on the little white scale icon at the bottom of the name boxes on the left side of the page.

Hope that helps!

I tend to reply to the Rep Point via PM, if it's a question or I want to comment back. I don't know that it's necessary to thank people for EVERY rep point, any more than it's necessary to thank someone who waves at you (in a friendly manner-- ) when you're driving. The person repping you doesn't always post in the thread where you've posted, so tracking them down can be tricky.

JMHO, of course.
