On the profile page for each GS member there is a REPUTATION block. What does that mean and how is it given and who gives it?

I don't know, but I have a good one!

I think it's determined by the plus or minuses that are at the bottom of each post. If you spend a lot of time in the basement ( Politics and Tacks) your reputation would probably be very good or pi$$ poor. basically it's a popularity contest.

That's easily enough corrected!

I never noticed the + or -. It's nice to know I have an excellent rating, for what ever that means. I also noticed that a few who disagree with my comments have a very negative rating.lol

Thanks to all that agree with me. It's been a long time since I have been active here at GS. The last two years I have laid back and found other boards that are more to my way of thinking but I always come back here. I have been around since WayDale.

soo.. who is the most popular here?

let's not mention the fact I was unemployed for about three months (i.e. bored, nothing better to do..)

That would be you, dude. And it looks like Waysider is in 2nd place, though well behind.

Wow, excathedra is on her way to 20,000 posts! That's like the Cy Young record of post counts -- it'll never be broken.

P.S. What's the deal with markomalley? He seems to have the worst reputation of all.

Thanks for the negative mark. My popularity was getting to my head. lol

I think it's a way of measuring if your posts are too long or too short.

+ = too long

- = too short

And baby bear said, "This post is just right."

To some people, its also a measure of

+ how Godly and All American you are, or

- how heretical, evil, and Socialistic/Stalinist/Democratic you are.

And if you have voted for Obama and/or enjoy the Daily Show, ... wellll-doggie, you have automatically earned *5* red marks, and are on the slippery slope to Hell, brother!

Gawd, I just love this board!

So much for the green and red symbols, I think we need another one that's blue. That one could mean, "Man, this cat really bums me out!" (ie: makes me "blue")

No No! Nametags, I'm having a flashback about colored nametags exhibiting one's spirituality.

That's easily enough corrected!

I know! It's what keeps me in line!

Or if you like Pink Floyd's "Us and Them", apparently. :)
