Do you make assumptions about members based on their 'Rep Power'?

[LBP 76]

Like if they have lots of rep (compared to the no. of posts they've made) that they are better or worse or cooler or not or whatever.

Just wondering what other members think.

If they have tonnes of green rep, I probably wouldn't notice. I never look at the number, and most people have the same amount of green bars.

However, if someone has lots of red bars, I automatically presume they are dickheads.

No

Peace.

I don't really "judge" people or make assumptions about members when I look at their rep. There are too many variables involved with repping somebody, so it's hard to tell if a person is a good poster or not just by looking at how many rep points they have.

There could be a member with 200 posts that doesn't put any thought or input into their posts at all and doesn't deserve any rep what-so-ever, but somehow manages to have over 1,000 rep points.

Then, there could be a member with 3,000 posts that puts thought and input into most of their posts and deserves a tremendous amount of rep, but somehow manages to have only 300 rep points.

:dunno:

Sure, if they have lots of posts and lots of rep, I assume that they're insecure, lonely chronic masturbators!!

(And yes, I know that by some standards, I fall into the category of high-posts, high-rep)

When i first joined the forum, it provided basics info on who is who (regular posters, long-time members, overall appreciation).

Nowadays, i'm not even looking at those besides anticipating other members benchmarks for posts.

Thoughtful posts aren´t the ones that gets a lot of rep. The posts that seems to get the most reps are links to galleries/videos. If a poster have a lot of rep i just assume that they post lots and lots of links to galleries.

There is a lot of "friendship" rep, which is cool. There are many different reasons for getting rep. That's why standing alone, rep doesn't have much to do with the posters themselves.

I feel the same way.

Having alot of rep doesnt make you better than everyone else, I mean look at me, I have quite a bit and im a complete and utter cunt. :dunno: But people keep giving to me.

What can I do?


:hatsoff:

Never a truer word has ever been said.

A fair assumption, imo...

 

[senob44]

I rarely make assumptions about members based on their rep power (except as mentioned if they are in the red), since there is so much rep cheating that goes on on this board.

However, I do take notice of members' rep power for my own personal reasons. Being on the board regularly, I have a fairly good idea of what members earn their rep and and which members cheat their way to higher totals. I enhance this insight by viewing the "Rep the member above me" thread every once in awhile to see who is cheating lately. I store the rep cheaters names in my memory banks and I make it a point NEVER to rep them to do my part to keep things fair. :hatsoff:

May seem a little excessive to do that, but it gives me a twisted feeling of accomplishment. People have gotten very greedy ever since rep points have been linked to MyFreeones Points.

 

[Galactic]

Nope. I look at the name. There are certain posters here that I agree with 99% of the time, and I enjoy reading what they have to say.

 

[jamrak]

from sticky:

...To that end, the reputation system does not signify the importance, credibility or respect level of a member. It may reflect accurately on some members, but may not on others.

Sad to acknowledge this, but yes, sometimes I agree with officials

 

[Becks...poamr]

Sadly, yes.

If I see someone with a few posts and their rep is in the red, I think they won't last long around here.

If I see someone who has more rep than posts, I think that's wrong and wonder what they're about.

I'm a horrible person.

 

[D-rock]

Until this thread it has been a while since I have even looked at my own rep number under my avatar. :1orglaugh

Erm, what ya saying??

Re: Do you make assumptions about members based on their 'Rep Power'?

Like previous posters - I find that the ones that have a bunch of red gems are flakes. Yeah, I'm prejudiced that way.

Also / aside

Too much rep in proportion to posts doesn't necessarily mean that you're a kiss ass . . You Might be a game player. just sayin ~ :dunno:

My rep is higher than my post count, but then again, most of my post have actually been post of more than two words.

Word one; Pornstars first name
Word two; Pornstars surname

or "She's hot" or "I'd fuck it"

Most my post have contributed something or had a thought to stimulate someone to rep me, for giving them some info or idea to discuss.

I could easily have more posts than rep by going through all the "Who's better", "Who would you fuck" "Name 5 billion people you'd like to shag" threads and add one name each time. Or go through all the pornstar and celebs posting "I'd fuck her."
