The rep points thread

TsukiRyoko · Aug 3, 2006

Maybe this thread won't die on me... ::hopeful::

Give the person above you a POSITIVE rep point and be sure to fill this thread with LOTS of smilies. We don't abuse those smilies as much as we should. Hell, we're not even close to it!

We'll start off slowly, warm things up a bit...

:TheWave:

No.

But go check. Maybe I did.

And don't give me one, person below. Please. I take great pride in earning them the hard way. Hard work and dedication to my craft.

Thank you.

Tsuki, what you propose was done a year and a half ago, and it got way out of hand. Please, let's not start that again. Give a point when it's earned and not otherwise.

TsukiRyoko · Aug 3, 2006

Ah, I see. I was not here a year and a half ago.

Guess the thread dies early then. Care to delete it?

Ditto.

But Reph does deserve an rp for pointing this out...

I wasn't here a year ago, so my response was without prejudice and from the heart.

I deserve one much more than reph.

No offense to reph of course.

Thank you.

I was gonna give you one, but I thought it might be demeaning to you, as it wasn't really earned 'the hard way.'

I am still trying to figure out your craft, but I am sure it's crafty. :roll:

Basket weaver?

TsukiRyoko · Aug 3, 2006

Perhaps it's pottery, or sewing?

Come to think of it, knitting was always suiting...

Billy's craft is, in fact, messageboarding. He's petitioning the IOC to make it a trial event in the next Summer Games.

TsukiRyoko · Aug 3, 2006

Oh, then he IS good at his craft after all...

Welcome back Rob, I thought you were banned!

billy, i gave you an rp for rep point ethics based on your response to this thread BEFORE you told people you deserved it for your post. Now that you told us you deserve it, I'm reconsidering.

Thank you.

Unlikely. I own Mac and Birol.

I'd give Trish a rep just because she's pretty and I happen to be using her name for one of the characters in my novel.

Thank you.

Luckily the only way that SPECIFIC rep point can be taken away is by appealing to the United Nations to take action.

So, that point is safe.

Yes, you could give me a negative rep on another post but that would be behavior unbecoming of a semi-pro messageboard poster.

So...I will sleep well tonight. Unless you're unbecoming, Trish.

Thank you.

Me too! Big time and I am still groveling...

...you are such a trouble maker. :Hug2:

Errr...I thought you said owe....ahhhahaaa...

I deplore this thread, because if we start releasing unearned rep points into the economy, it will depress the value of existing rep points, leading to rep point inflation, and then increased interest rates on rep point loans and other vital rep-based finances.

Remember what Woodsy the Owl said, after leaving the Forestry Service for the booming Dot Com industry:

"Don't give away reps all willy-nilly. Earn them for real just like Billy Thrilly."

Damn straight, dclary!

And if I may be so bold as to quote that other great Forestry Service employee, Smokey The Bear, "Remember, only you can prevent smoking rep points."

I'll give you and your towel-headed companion a rep point if you'll respell my name in its god-given order, Bill.
