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:

Ive seen all your work around here, and id totally rep you if it meant something, but i not a spam whore or nothin, i try to post anything, but in responses, everybody has to be the funny guy with 'you mom' jokes or **** you responses, and quite frankly, i dont know how anybody puts up with it

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.

This is what set me off:

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.

Yeah, I made a correction in my original post. Sorry again. I realized what set you off and apologized.

Generally If you make consistently good posts anywhere you'll gain respect.
Whereas if you post like a moron things are jsut gonna go bad for you.

Eh', when I used to look in there alot when Subtle, Tiger and Zakath were the big flamers, it seemed to me some of the people they tore apart just had different opinions then them and got flamed for no reason. And also it seemed like they went into almost every thread flaming people for the shear hell of it. Maybe it has changed, but that also kinda of put me off from posting in there seeing those things.

[QUOTE=Humor99]You traitor to the cause :mad:[/QUOTE]

Hey man, i'm not a traitor. I didn't change sides or anything. I still believe strongly in the cause.

[QUOTE=Ripper22]Yeah, I made a correction in my original post. Sorry again. I realized what set you off and apologized.[/QUOTE]
Yep, it's all good. Thanks. :)

Rep for being a good man about it

Meh, nobody listens to Tiger anyway. Everyone knows he's an egotist :-p

I guess you can say that heh.

Eh' just seemed like they were a bit to aggressive towards people, like I said, maybe it has changed, I really don't know about it heh.

Ill assume you werent referring to me as a a poster with 2 braincells, but like my last post that got deleted (error message) said, im going to post in the pit regularly for the next week, ending saturday night. If i lose rep points, the difference will be the amount of days i will never consider visiting it again, and if a gain rep points, then ill continue to post regularly for that amount of days until it goes down again.

Id like to see what happens

Edit: and sorry for the late post, i had to shovel the snow outside again

Welcome to the R & M community thread Rob. :)

Agreed, that's the biggest thing that turns me off about the Pit. The Pit totally destroyed CreepingBlack, for instance, who when he showed up in R+M was reasonably ok. He had a problem with flying off the handle and an inability to take insults/criticisms in stride, which I gather is what irked so many Pit-goers, but nevertheless he was constantly flamed and constantly reviled for "stupid threads" and he couldn't take it. I really don't think he deserved it. That's the kind of thing I hate to see: when someone is innocently trying to be reasonable or at least apologize for being a dick previously, and then gets the mick taken out of him by every single thread-hopper that sees it. And I especially hate it when people call other people "Faggots." That's just me though.

EDIT: I admit I do not know the whole story about CreepingBlack. If anyone felt like they wanted to explain it, that would be fine: I just saw him when he commited his little e-suicide and decided to look into it a little bit...the limited stuff that I found sort of led me that above conclusion, in addition to my own personal experience.

I judge people on hw they post before I judge them on their postcount and joindate. Those don't really mean much to me.

No I wasn't saying you in particular had two braincells. I was saying that, in general, if a poster has more than 2 brain cells they can do well there.

And I know how it goes with that shoveling.

He had his moments of good posting, but in general, when he started threads he came off as antagonizing and scornful in ways that upset people. He'd make threads that were borderline insulting in some ways, but that was more toward the end of his posting, so maybe he just had enough of the criticism.

I guess taking criticism is one of the big things you need to be able to do for the Pit. I used to get flamed to hell and back because I was a bit antagonizing myself. Eventually people lay off of you once they see you can contribute something worthwhile. Many times people who get criticized never go that extra step to prove they are worth something and they can't take the crits so they leave.

Humor99 is one of the more intelligent contributers to the Pit. Other notable mentions are Maveryck, Subtle Dagger etc.





I on the other hand contribute nothing :upset:

It's a rare day that I see Mav post anymore, I think he sticks mostly to the other subforums.

Thanks btw, and don't worry, your Captions thread is a success.

EDIT:

This is quite weird - my postcount and rep are exactly the same (11,005). Thanks to munkymagik :P

w00t


I try hard to make original threads, the problem is, they are usually borderline spam. But its a rare day where i'll make two of the same thread.

Maveryck has been seen quite a bit in Politics lately. He's a really smart guy.

[QUOTE=Bartender]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.[/QUOTE]
Thanks for the rep Bartender. :thumb:

[QUOTE=Ripper22]Maveryck has been seen quite a bit in Politics lately. He's a really smart guy.[/QUOTE]

I think he pretty much posts only in Politics. Bar one post in a soon-to-be-closed Pit thread, I haven't seen him post elsewhere for ages.

[QUOTE=Ripper22]Maveryck has been seen quite a bit in Politics lately. He's a really smart guy.[/QUOTE]
So I hear. I'm not much for debating politics like that, but if he can do it, all the more power to him
