Reps - what the heck are they?

**BMC1979** · 08-03-2006, 12:26 PM

Ok, this might be a silly question, but what are these "reps" people keep talking about. I know it has to do with the "rep power" under our names but what does it mean? Is it kind of like a respect thing?

Kind of thought I might get an answer like that.

Fine I'll do it myself.

You'll find out when some emo 14-year-old with the rep power of a thousand suns negs you.

**EB86** · 08-03-2006, 12:31 PM

well they are supposed to signify how much good information someone gives out. Someone says somehting smart and beneficial you would rep them. However, the rep system has been abused to an extreme. People with high reps dont necessarily have any good info to help. People neg for no reason. I dont really see why anyone even cares.

lol its rep power. I really dont care, and a mod repped him. He has one big rep wow . . . .

**Totalkaoz** · 08-03-2006, 12:36 PM

What does the number right before the rep power bar mean?

I see that m@k@veli has a "0" and digital1986 has "74," yet they both have the same rep power of 40000.

Negged.

JK brah. Seriously, when I actually was helpful, I got 0 reps from people. Now when I troll in the Misc. section I go up in rep power pretty quickly.

Reps: The number of times you push or pull weight during a set....

**subterfuge** · 08-03-2006, 12:57 PM

reps are extremely important. People in the green are cool. People in the red are a waste of space. Dont take any notice of what people in the red say. period.

Werd. Repped. You should be in the green dude.

Nothing is more important than reps. You'll realise this one day.

**BMC1979** · 08-03-2006, 01:05 PM

digita., Don't hate me because I have friends in high places!! j/k

Honestly, I don't really care about them I was just curious.

SCiONiC_xTc_32 - Thanks for the link. Guess I should have started there in the first place. Everyone will have to forgive me because I'm feeling like **** today and my brain's not working.

Thanks to everyone for their smartass answers!! Makes for a great thread. Much love to everyone!!

it dosen't matter, because the fact you have almost 8000 posts makes you resilient....therefore people will still listen to you whether you rep is red or green, because you have been here alot longer than them.

**Blaze704** · 08-03-2006, 01:18 PM

Not everyone in the red posts B.S. Some people got into the red from a fairly high rep power because they got negged by a moderator for breaking a certain rule. Some moderators have 1 million rep power, and someone can go from like a 400 rep power to well into the red when getting negged by a certain moderator. I'm one of those cases. I was at a double digit rep power on last week of April before getting into the red.
