[QUOTE=Bartender]Yes, secret CDs. Secret for two reasons, firstly because some of the might not arrive, and then everyone would think I have CDs that I don't, and also because I can't remember all of them.[/QUOTE]
:lol:

I thought they were ultra rare CDs or something. Then again, would you get them at amazon, probably not. :lol:

[QUOTE=BoboTheRagingHobo]I also understand people like you do stuff outside of the pit, and you help out alot with problems with the site, I respect that alot. But I never said every one did nothing in the pit, I said most or the majority of people, so I never really said
[B]you[/B] did nothing.

And I can have my own opinion of the pit, and I think it sucks along with majority of its users.[/QUOTE]
That's fine, and I realize you didn't say all, but you guys are being just as bad with the elitism thing.

Im still working on a master plan to get any form of respect in the pit.

My theory is

More postcount=more respect

i noticed most of the members their suck up to the higher-authority poeple much more, so maybe in a year or so ill post there without being one of their bi[I]t[/I]ches.

:lol:

Gain respect in the pit by making good posts.

Didn't you have a previous account?

Respect is part postcount, part join date and part quality of posts, sadly. Atleast in the pit it is.

I mostly hang around R&M, though occasionally I'll visit on of the other forums. I don't like going into the pit because I really don't get their sense of random, look-at-me-I'm-being-stupid-on-purpose sense of humor. I don't think lesser of the users that hang out their or anything, I just don't get [b]it[/b]. The pit is basically one giant inside joke to me.

I think I get a suprising amount of respect here, for only having 740-something posts.

to bartender

yeah

the mighty zep

i thought i left it on my signature long enough for people to know, but i had something around 700-800 posts on it. That was when i regularly posted in D&P boards, which i rarely do anymore

I sometimes wonder how many of the star-holders in the pit did it by a combination of rep-whoring and semi-clever insults, because I never see anything intelligent enough coming from any of them that would make them worthy of them from that angle.

I'm ashamed to admit that I sometimes judge others on their posts or join date or if they have stars or not. I've been posting in the pit too much...

I got all my rep through hard earned R&M Community Thread whoring.

And I have never gotten a mod rep. :(

Meh, I'm only that way when I'm in the Pit. It kind of dies when I go to other forums. I only use post-count as a way to discern a noob from everyone else. If they have a postcount above 500 I usually leave them alone. Other than that I see it as no criteria for respect. I post relatively little, for instance, and so I have far fewer posts than people that joined up at the same time as me, like Riva, and some even that came a bit after me, like zepfan. But I don't think that increases or decreases the worth of my posts. I try to be fair about that, and the star-holders in the Pit don't really get much of my respect anyway. Time on the site is something I will generally respect regardless.

Not to forget rep points. Rep points=***** size as we all know.


/i've mostly been kidding

to bartender,

i didnt really like my name, and i feel i had a bad reputation (before the rep points came out) cause ive been around for a while but really didnt contribute much, except to the lessons and article in D&P, but mostly i was over the n00b zeppelin stage, and i didnt want to bother the mods to change my name

[QUOTE=high_voltage_acdc]I got all my rep through hard earned R&M Community Thread whoring.

And I have never gotten a mod rep. :([/QUOTE]

You would if SK was around more often. I got a monster rep from him one time for agreeing that a DT official thread was a good idea, and another one for not crying about a one-day ban that I recieved. That made up about 900 points between them.

C'mon Bartender, help the man out! Don't be such a stingy rep-giver. :)

I judge people based on join date, then post count (if join date is insufficient). I've got a whole set of rules about it, it's getting quite lengthy.

Go read my reviews in CD Reviews.
Go read my suggestions to improve site performance in Site.
Go read my songs/crits in S&L.
Go read my Top 100 MXers compilation

Tell me I've never contributed anything to this site again and that I don't deserve my stars.

To the other guy who said he needed a giant postcount to be respected there - no, just don't post like an idiot. We're really tolerate in that respect.

[QUOTE=rock not roll]Not to forget rep points. Rep points=***** size as we all know.


/i've mostly been kidding[/QUOTE]

rep points are so pointless. i occasionally rep people for a good post, but it seems like in the course of 1 week, twice as many users had stars. A few days ago, i posted about 40 times and got 100 rep points with some good threads, mostly on ABITW tone settings, but i still have less then 300 points

[QUOTE=BoboTheRagingHobo]I have to drive about 50 miles to get to this record store. I seriously live in the mountains, in a forest, that is a good 45-50 miles away from Portland. So ya, its not like its a 10 minute drive heh.[/QUOTE]

I live in a big city, so there are plenty of cd stores, but for metal, I have to travel.

I'll go rep one of his reviews, if I can figure out what he reviewed..

I thought I'd repped him long ago, though.

You should have closer to 500 now.

After you get stars, rep is pointless. I try to get more of it to be able to give people who I like stars faster. Also make people who I dislike never have stars. That's about it.

edit: Humor's posting among us :eek:

Seriously, if you were just an intelligent poster with more than 2 braincells, you'd get respect there.

It might also help if you were a girl, but its not required.

No worries, man. I've seen you around and I know that you're really helpful. I believe that you've earned your stars. Honestly, chill out a little bit. I don't think I said "especially that Humor99 *******. He's a stupid dick that is a rep-monger who deserves nothing resembling a star." I said "some" star-holders were not good-example-setters. Surely you understand that idiocy levels are really high in the Pit, and that's all I'm really complaining about.

EDIT: Correction. I just realized I said "I never see anything good enough from any of them." What I meant was: "Any of those people that I'm talking about." Which is not really you. No doubt your next post will make this clear again. I apologize.

There are many good posters in the Pit, there are many bad posters. The ones who have the stars are typically the more intelligent of the bunch.

Heh, it helps to be a girl pretty much anywhere on the internet.

Well, I also think something that drives some people like him from the pit is when some one posts something reasonable and they get flamed for it by like Zakath and the likes. IE: being called a faggot and such just because he/they doesn't like what you say.

That's what I think at least, not something thats the truth or anything, just one of my ideas.

Maybe, but I typically see Zakath get on the case of posters who just of poor caliber. Reasonably intelligent people do just fine there.
