DB in NJ Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 I had no idea that SWB had made a plea that the rep system be used "fairly and wisely." Somebody was kind enough to point it out to me, so now I know. Please forgive me for not using the system properly. It won't happen again. ....off to have a glass of cranberry wine.... :leaving: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ticklbee Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Does this have anything to do with the 4th of July rep party? I wouldn't worry too much about it - there's so many heavy topics that everyone needs a little fluff once in a while! :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom2legomaniacs Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 No worries. It has happened before and will likely happen again. Lightening up and being silly is okay sometimes. I had my crantini so a toast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsmom Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 I would not worry either! If you want you can go over to the "how in the world does someone get 2000..." thread and beg for rep. We don't mind! It is basically a requirement!:D:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brindee Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 The way I see it is that we want to be happy and get along and enjoy this board! Once in awhile doing this makes people happy! I can't see how that is bad??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gretchen in NJ Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 From one Jersey Girl to another, forget about it. Come have fun with us over at "how in the world does someone get 2000..." thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genie Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Please forgive me for not using the system properly. I don't really see how what you did was any different than what has been going on since day one. Yes, at first I strove to use the rep system exactly as it was explained by admin. But when it became apparent to me that there was plenty of rep going around that had nothing to do with the "reasons to rep" and it was being allowed, I started to play along as well. The purposes expressed for the rep system are not reflective of the rep system. As someone pointed out somewhere, there are some really intelligent, thoughtful, well-spoken, and helpful ladies on the high school board (the section of these forums that most emulates the theories of classical education) yet many of them do not have high rep. Why? Because for the most part they don't come to the general board. The rep system, again for the most part,is a fun system to let people know you like them and to let you feel like you have something to give someone that will make them feel good. Regardless of what the admin's initial intentions had been for it, this is what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
