Obsessive Rep Point Checkers Club

Freckles said:

How often do you check your rep points? Do you wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat wondering what people have said about you? Do you give a big "WOO HOO" whenever you get more points?

If so, this is the club for you...sporting its own clubhouse and comfy chairs. Come on in!!

I check my rep points every time I open AW. I open AW at least once every 15 minutes.

That's just silly.

That would be like me posting this message, just to create a post that would give my another little-piece-of-scrunched-up-paper icon, just so I could then click on it and check my rep points.

damn

To me, it's not the points, it's the WHAT people are saying... (nervous twitch - twitch - twitch*g*) Smeagol wonders, yes we wonders, Precious....

It's ok. Remember, one second at a time.

Crap!

I declare myself supreme dictator of this club.

I like to see if I got comments. Or smilies. But of course, I do check the points. Sometimes, I blow on the number to make it go up, but then, I realize it's not a stick of incense.

I don't care about the points, it all about the comments.

Ahhh, who am I kidding?

POINTS! GIMME POINTS!

POINTS MEAN YOU LOVE ME! OR I WAS FUNNY! OR CLEVER!

<sobs> I just need your approval to feel whole and complete <sobs>

my very first rep point was Maestro -- that's why i love him best

I don't get very many *sniff*, but I treasure the ones I _do_ get!

I need to be more controversial or mean or something...

What happened to my post? Anyway, I'm in.

Or maybe post more than 400 posts. If you have more than 40, you're doing great.

You are my idol.

I always think, I wish their was a rep comment reply button to click on. Sometimes the rep comments are screaming for a reply...but if you went and found that member's post somewhere they might not understand your rep comment reply...it would be coming from nowhere, you know.

I feel this way as well.

I didn't even know about the existance of rep points until a few months ago and couldn't figure out why no one ever acknowledged a point I made. I was just resigned to talking to myself, when I read a thread about rep points. Then it was *sniffle* "You like me - you realllyyy like me" - and then crushing guilt! All these nice people were talking to me and I didn't acknowledge them - gah! I feel now that I should at least thank them, but that means initiating an email, and then I don't want them to think that they have to write me back....arghhhh!

Rep point etiquette - it gives me angst.

Is there a good ratio for that? Mine's getting better since OP posts don't count any more. I have about 170, from 600 odd posts (that count toward the total), or about 25%. It's up from about 17%. obsessive, me? Naw.

I always forget to check. What's wrong with me?????

I check often and without prejudice.

This is an excellent point, and an unforeseen repercussion of stopping the post-count for OP and TIO (which was done... why?)

It has always been POSSIBLE for someone to actually have more rep points than posts. It is now extremely PROBABLE that under the current system, we will.

I didn't even know they existed for a month or so - when I found them (a whole three) I was so excited! I've been hooked on checking them ever since.

who, moi? (excuse me, gotta check on something )

What's a rep point?

I saw him today at the hospital. He was handing out cheese sandwiches and a copy of the bible. Nice of him to give me something to chew on while I was waiting.
