genie Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Otherwise, you are going to have to return your hive dress. They can take my post count, but they'll have to rip that dress off my bleeding, dying body! But I'm working on it. Really. I've posted more in the last two days than I have in the last two weeks, I think. Be gentle with me. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GailV Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 OK, so I have been inching toward 100 to try and get a second green pea. Is my goal accurate? Will I finally get another little greenie if I get to 100? I thought that was the way it worked??? :001_huh: Let's get one thong straight -- these are not PEAS! No no no no no! They are Andies Candies. Someone recently gave me a box, and they were all tidy in their little green wrappers and looked just like rows of rep points. I'd send you all Andies Candies equivalent to the amount of rep boxes you have so you could see what I'm talking about, except I ate all of them. It was over before I knew what happened. (You think you've got it bad for rep? Don't stand between me and a chocolate-peppermint combo. Come to think of it, I need to go to the store right now.:auto:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H.S. Burrow Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Why do people (or maybe it's only one person) always feel the need to rate threads that have anything to do with rep "terriible"? That's been a mystery to me, and I wonder if there's a theory to explain it.:confused: I don't know:confused:, but I'm the "5 Star Fairy" and whenever I see a single star I make it a point to read the thread and then bestow 5 stars as I have never read a thread that actually deserved the "Terrible, 1 star" rating that it had been given. Looking forward to the ruby I feel sure that will now anonymously appear in my jewelry box.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kailuamom Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I like giving out rep if it's a particularly good post, but I also look for people with only one green square so I can help them get more. And I luv ya for it!!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crissy Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Rep?? Anyone else notice that they are not moving up when they get rep? *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. So it skips 600? Yup. I was dismayed to find that out too!! Psssst. We do realize how silly we sound, don't we? Just checking.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAMom Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Can I ask you rep gurus a question?:) Does everyone get to give out 10 reps a day? It's not 10 points, right, but 10 actual people you can rep? You don't earn more "power" in that respect when you get more squares, do you?:confused: I'm really trying to work on giving all mine away every day. I admit to feeling indignant when I attempt to rep someone and it tells me I'm out.:glare: Also, I know this seems silly, but for those of you with squares coming out of your ears, how does it make you feel when you get repped by someone worth only one point? Is it disappointing at all to only see your count increase by one? (I know, that's way more about the psychology of the whole thing.:D) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I know, that's way more about the psychology of the whole thing.:D) Everyone, no matter how many squares they have, can rep 6 people in any 24-hour period. The value of that rep depends on how many squares and posts they have, but it seems everyone gets to rep 6 per day. You can re-rep someone after you've spread it to 30 other people. I love ANY rep I get. Honestly. I even love getting rep from newbies whose rep is still neutral. It's just a nice feeling, you know? Someone thought enough to take a moment out of their day to let you know they liked what you said, or how you said it, or who you are. That's never disappointing.
