you know why my rep isn't 30k or more? because I dont play the rep my buddies game, or the whole bb.com rep me, an i'll rep you.
I give positive and negative rep to those who deserve it, and those who do play the rep me i'll rep you game, quickly realize when you rep me, i dont rep back unless i think you deserve it.
there is one exception, when I need to recharge rep to rep someone more than once in a row but even then, i try to pick people who I think deserve it.
one thing I can be assured of, my rep points are where they are because i've earned them. and i've been on this board long enough to experience rep resets twice now (where the mods turn everyone's rep back to zero)
If you go to the genera chat forum, you can learn the purpose of the rep seystem from the moderators stand point.
I have gotten my fair share of infractions from moderators, so I can also be assured, they have no problem bringing down the hammer if I do/write something they dont like.
so say what you want, I really dont care how you feel, or if you like me, or you dont. I come here to have fun, and learn as well as share.
this is the internet, if you are going to let images and words on a computer screen from someone you dont even know bother you, then you're going to have bigger problems in life some time down the road.
