[QUOTE=high_voltage_acdc]I don't really care about the stars, it's just nice to go your User CP and see that someone has repped you.
:)[/QUOTE]

That's pretty true, but it's annoying when people don't sign off or write a comment. Repping should be like writers' workshopping: each meaningful post is sort of like a composition and should be critiqued as such, instead of signed off with no real comments.

Also, I've gotten a couple of positive reps that for some reason, don't feel so positive in the commentary...like I got repped "for being funny" today, and no one signed it...don't know if they meant I was being stupid and so I was therefore funny, because the post I got it for said a pretty silly thing...


/me wants to be liked real bad :upset: /

But hey! I'm at 982...getting there...560something posts...getting there, but not as quick...bah.

18 more and you get a star.

[QUOTE=high_voltage_acdc]I think Bartender repped me once, I'm not sure though because there was no note from the person who repped me.[/QUOTE]

If it was early on, then it could well have been me, as I didn't bother with comments first. Actually, I'll go check.

[QUOTE=zeppelinfan2k3]Stars are nice recognition wise though. Some people like Medopalis get recognition for the work they do besides just being a good user. I like to think I am a good user and people tell me that I am usually. I also am starting to help with the running of S&L (my home forum) and am trying hard to improve it and make it a better place. So it is nice to have stars to sort of show that you are a good user and get recognition for that.[/QUOTE]

Agreed. Star people are like the seniors that the freshmen want to hang out with, especially since intelligence is the thing valued most on the forums.

Suddenly zepfan is out of my league...he's moved on to bigger and better people...gone are the comradely days of the Ultimate Metal Band poll...

hehheh just wait till I break into the system and become the first six-star member...

well im getting there alot slower.
you would think people would rep you for doing reviews wouldnt you
i have done nine, and only paranoidd repped me for it
but i respect paranoidd alot, so that meant alot to me i guess

[QUOTE=HeavyRiva]18 more and you get a star.[/QUOTE]

Yes, that'll be cool. But that only means the movie got made...that doesn't mean it was good. I'm still the American version of "Godzilla" in the heirarchy, not "The Pianist."

BTW, why then do I see no one- or two-star members? Is it just that by the time noobs start posting meaningfully they have over a thousand posts and go all the way to four, and ppl with high reps but low post count are rarer and are the ones that get one or two?

Yeah, Paranoidd repped me for a post about Yngwie. I don't really like it when people rep me for memoaning my low post count...I'm not [I]really[/I] the type to beg for that sort of thing. I would like to see some reps for the stuff that I've posted recently in the Politics forum, for instance...those are [I]crafted,[/I] as opposed to being some one-off thing someone found entertaining.

[QUOTE=Medopalis]You can check who you rep? Or is this just a mod thing?[/QUOTE]

Just a mod thing. And it reveals that I have never give you rep (high_voltage). Sorry.

I'm not saying that I wouldn't mind stars, I'm just saying that it's not super important to me.

wow lots of posts i was thinking of reading them all lmao

[QUOTE=Bartender]Just a mod thing. And it reveals that I have never give you rep (high_voltage). Sorry.[/QUOTE]
It's okay ;) it's just someone repped me in this thread once and it seemed you would be most likely to rep me at that time. :)

Pre-reqs for stars are 1000 posts, 1000 rep, and 90 days on the forums. There are ways around the rules though (points to join date) :cool:

Anyways, there are only 3,4,5 star members to my knowledge, and 3 is only if DBJ puts you in as elite for some reason like a deleted account that has been redeemed, and so he gives you the privileges I guess.

i belive i got some of bartneder too which was cool

:eek: How do you already have so many points?

lol i have only ten points : D

[QUOTE=high_voltage_acdc]:eek: How do you already have so many points?[/QUOTE]

Three mod reps and a plethora of user reps.

Thanks zepfan and Dargon...no stars yet....post count isn't high enough. Thanks though.

I'll probably get to 1,000 posts before 1,000 points, and yeah, I want to thank all you guys who have repped me :thumb:. I'd rep some of you guys too but I can't rep people. :(

Rofl, Bartneder


It sounds funny :lol:

I'm having such a good week. The girl who i've liked for a while and I are finally going out :cool: and out of 20 some odd guitarists who tried out I was selected for the school Jazz band.

I'm 2/2 so far this week.

Rats!

Congrats Per Ardua :)

Yeah, I was too lazy to go back and quote you, but I forgot about the post count...get posting fool :p

/me gives Ripper 1000 posts

I've been posting a lot more than I used to, just because I feel more comfortable in these forums than I used to.

Thanks! Once again, I really appreciate it. I'm doing my best to get that old post count up...I don't know how you guys do it.

[QUOTE=high_voltage_acdc]I've been posting a lot more than I used to, just because I feel more comfortable in these forums than I used to.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, Paranoidd and other obviously smart and occaisionally hostile people freaked me out a tad when I got here. But trying to make a good point is all that's neccesary. That and an ability to judge who deserves to be flamed. I'm lucky in that regard...got into a little tiff with Paranoidd at the end of August and he went pretty easy on me, all things considered. I think I deserved a size 7 blast ala Bobo.

Conversations really, can make 50 posts in an hour or two in a fast convo.

One of my first posts earned me an ugly flame by Jondur, which encouraged me to fly straight and post intelligently. So here I am today, thanks to Jondur. :)

123. Especially when the pizza discussion comes back. i think zepfan was making a post every minute.

[QUOTE=HeavyRiva]123. Especially when the pizza discussion comes back. i think zepfan was making a post every minute.[/QUOTE]
Aye, that would be 60 posts per hour, that's about right...

I'd like to say thanks to zep and Ripper for the recent giving of rep :thumb:
