Elaine Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 *anj* repped me last night pushing me to 607 points and I didn't get another green square or move on the rep column under members list. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTMindy Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 You will not get another square until 700, but you still count for one more point. You can rep me and I will verify that for you. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommylawyer Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 You know, when I first started posting on these boards, I had no idea what rep was, and I still don't quite get how the green squares work, but... Now I'm a rep JUNKIE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom2legomaniacs Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Maybe, the lighter green squares at that stage count for 200 a piece rather than the 100 a piece for the darker ones. Oooohhh, did I just figure something out? Wow, and no coffee yet either. Cool!:lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTMindy Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 So it skips 600? :confused: I will rep you later, I am all out from last night.:001_smile: Yup. I was dismayed to find that out too!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makita Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I'm a newbie and I don't get the rep point thing... can anyone shed some light on how it works.

*anj* Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 So it skips 600? :confused: Right. You won't get a square for hitting 600, but your rep will be worth more points. I noticed the same thing about rep last night. There were a couple of people who I repped, expecting them to move up, but they didn't budge. I think that can happen if the person ahead of you has a good deal more than you do. For instance Aubrey is directly ahead of Lolly right now. Let's say Aubrey has 550 points, and Lolly has 525. If I give Lolly 10, she'll still be behind Aubrey, you know? Lolly would need to get rep from a couple more people to pass Aubrey. This was all a lot more predictable when we were all only worth a point or two. But now it's moving along at quite a clip because so many people are giving out higher doses at a time. Okay, I've got to get back to work now. :auto: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm a rep JUNKIE! I totally agree, and have to look first thing when I come to check-in. I did see I got my first neg. rep point or neutral, there is nothing stated next to it and it's not green.

Yes, I am always looking forward to earning my next little green emerald thingy. Why does someone read a thread about rep and then leave non-positive rep telling someone they would like to see them talk about something other than rep? If you don't like rep talk, don't read rep threads. Some people have zero self-control. :001_rolleyes: :iagree::lol: Morning Genie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
