IndioGirl55 32 Posted May 7, 2008 Brandy, click on your UserCP page and scroll all the way to the bottom. You will see I think your last five or so.

You are now a 7 - Thanks for the props - hopefully Thursday will be the day you will hear me cheering all over the world.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrsFlipFlops 2 Posted May 7, 2008 I can't see the rep thing on my User CP, but that's okay... is there a way to view messages left for other people? Like if I wanted to look at someone else's rep? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IndioGirl55 32 Posted May 7, 2008 I can't see the rep thing on my User CP, but that's okay... is there a way to view messages left for other people? Like if I wanted to look at someone else's rep? I don't think so - only the person who gets the message can - cuz only I can look at my usercp This whole rep thing is a little silly in my opinion.. Heck I didn't know what those scales ment - and heck you and I could vote for each other and get all our Friends to vote for us - so that we have a high rep - but what's that prove... So imho the rep power doesn't really mean that much Newbies can't figure out tickers how are they going to now what those scales mean.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Turler 6 Posted May 7, 2008 Well, not every good post gets recognized either. I think it makes people feel bad. I don't really care for it so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IndioGirl55 32 Posted May 7, 2008 Well, not every good post gets recognized either. I think it makes people feel bad. I don't really care for it so far. I agree 100% -There is nothing anywhere that tells others what to do I guess you could put a footnote- it you like my post and found it helpful - please vote for me... I think it fosters being competitiveness for some and makes a person feel bad when they have made a good post and no one gave you a rep power for it.. But again - this site doesn't really come with instruction on how to post and what things mean either - you have to figure alot out on your own.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would be too funny! :cursing: By the way, I usually give rep for reasons other than posts, like great B&A pics or if I see someone is doing a really great job at weight loss. The post, if I see it has to be almost profound to me for me to give a rep +. I just like to give props for hard work, but then again, this is a forum built around that.

It's giving props where props are deserved - you have done the work and are attaining your goals LBT doesn't become everyones transfer addiction - some people do have lives and don't have tons of time to post - see me I have no life and LBT is my transfer addiction :w00t::lol: And you and I can say the same thing using diff words and someone will more indenfity with your post than mine so that doesn't make your post better than mine. I am going to have to use your idea Lilmissband :cursing: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LilMissDiva Irene 3,282 Posted May 7, 2008 Sounds good Indio! You're right about how posts are worded and taken different ways by different people. Doesn't mean one person's post deserves positive over someone else's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrsFlipFlops 2 Posted May 8, 2008 I must admit though, since about a week ago, I've been trying to give more rep when I see something I like, a post, a pic, a cute saying... It's made me more supportive of other people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mss 1 Posted May 10, 2008 Ya I was wondering too !!!!! I was a 3 now a 31 ??? Can someone please explain - If we are going to have these silly things - then at least we should know how it works. at the bottom left of your post you will see three symbols...the one in the middle next to the red triangle is the one that people can click on and increase your rep power if they thought your post was....um .... good or something.
