    Does reputation or the thumbs up/down button mean anything to you?

      If you are demanding the rocket science version of the answers, you'll have to go else where for that.

      Reputation is given/taken just like thumbs.

      The only difference is some ass clown can't login, search for every single post you made, regardless of content and spam the shit out of the negative rep.  You have to spread the love/hate AND rep others.

      I don't remember all the details since it's coded into the forum software.

      Say you want to rep someone twice; good or bad, it doesn't matter.

      There is a minimum amount of time you have to wait between the reps 2.  You can do it sooner if you rep others; good or bad.    Even at it's shortest time, we're still talking several hours.

      Rep levels are given/taken by others, post count doesn't matter.

        I'll travel from the personal to the more general.

        My alluring, long red reputation line (and always looking for a little more) was established by two persons.

        Meanwhile, I've been assigned 360 "thumbs and emojis" as of this writing, with the top six contributors totaling 222 of these marks, and the sixth position tallying at 21 marks.  Other members assigned the remaining 138 marks, which, while unlisted, must tally from the teens downward through single digits.

        Thus, I've received thumbs and emojis from more than a dozen members.  I'll take that larger gene pool over the "reputation" kissing cousins any day.  And for whatever it's worth, my marks run about five-to-one positive.

        I wish this thread would act as a long-term catch-all for remarks about either evaluation system.  Unfortunately, so many political topics are diverted and derailed by endless mention of reputation, in particular.  It's a sad and weak refuge when one's argument is being shredded for lack of citations, the poor quality of citations, biased premise, off-topic meanderings, and so on.

        That sums it up for me.  Oh, except to say that none of it means much in the grand of scheme of things – for self-actualized people, anyway.

        I suspect that, when i posted more, in the past, i got in the same situation… I have stated views and countered people's opinions in the political forum but was 99% nice to people, i disagreed with some yes but not sure how differing views = bad rep

        I realised today I have a red line - which is sad because it gives others - especially new people, the impression that i'm a bad guy when i am not. I am a guy that can be quite helpful & anecdotal & fun etc - But I  disagreed with other people who were just as forceful in their debating of politics and so now pay the price.

          Amen brother. I got THREE down votes in reputation. Three. That's all it took to put me deep in the red. But to be honest, I wouldn't have even known what the red/green are supposed to mean if Fred didn't keep talking about it. I doubt new members have a clue and they'll learn quickly it's pretty meaningless.

            Actually, you don't have a red LINE.. you have one red dot.  That is no big deal.  The longer the red or green line, the more significant it is.  I bet if you posted some more messages, you would go green.

              Hmm, we are seeing two very different things. I see five dots. And, I just checked, I got two positive reputations today, too.

                You have 5 dots…  but I was replying to DENE - who has but one.  One dot does not make a person bad.

                    Well, 1 is barely anything.
                    5 is not much.. but is a sign that there is a problem.  
                    When someone has 12 red dots (which is the maximum visible) THAT means the poster is a psycho moonbat.  When someone has 12 red dots, bring out the straight jackets!
