Stand up Against Robbie, Rep points!

Personally I'm appalled by all the whining about the rep points. It was nothing but a bit of fun, but someone has to run crying to Rich, who I'm sure could care less about the whole thing, and now we're in a collective time out. Jesus. Interesting how it wasn't a 15 year old child either.

It's not, Michaela. It's kind of like first grade and who's got the biggest box of crayons.

Lori, that supports my crayon box size theory.

Lori, have you forgotten first grade? Someone is always running to teacher.

Well, there IS this...

and now we're in a collective time out. Jesus. Interesting how it wasn't a 15 year old child either.

Exactly. Or the teacher runs to the principal. Either way, it's ridiculous.

On that, we wholeheartedly agree. Of course, for me, equally ridiculous is that this thread is now over 200 posts. :shrugs:

I look at (regarding corn snake knowledge), based on :
---who's been in the corn snake business the longest,
---join date, and
---based on posts, who really seems to know what they are doing.

I look at general knowledge, based on :
---'About Me' stats,
---age, and I compensate for wise-ish yongsters, and foolish oldsters,
---carefully read content of posts, i.e. maturity, wisdom, understanding, open-mindedness, philosophy, etc., etc., etc......., and
---childishness and pettiness serve to void general knowledge, as they are incompatible with the point immediately previous to this point.

NOTE : the above post is subject to change, if/when someone smarter than me comes along with additional/better criteria. For now it stands.

Warning---This is a double post and may be considered Spam!!

Rich. Hello Rich are you listening?

Please take away all of my rep points so Mikey and others can quite crying. Set my rep points permanently at zero. And then put the system back the way it was. It was enjoyed and appreciated by the majority of the people here and was just fine until a very small minority started feeling picked on.

I am very sorry I was the irritant that brought this to a head. Please smite me mightily about the head and shoulders and don't punish everyone else for my transgressions
 
Wade, I'm reporting you for your double post.

Not that I'm incensed at your double post, but because I want to be the first to run to teacher.

Evidently, that's where all the action is nowadays.

I use the rep system and think it is a useful part of the board. But I tend to regard who gives me the rep and what they say or what post they comment on as the the most important part.
 
I think its silly that anyone would complain about this thread. I think it did what Waded intended it to do. 1: get him rep points(along with robbie), and 2: for us to have a little fun along the way. If anyone has problems with either point I think they have to get a friggin life and be careful as to what threads they look into. GEESH!
 
I am working on THE perfect equation for "status" that some certain members seem to be crying out for. It will look something like Cumulative Individual CS.com Forum Status = x(number of years keeping corns + number of years in total animal Husbandry) + µ(chronological Years of age) + z(formal Education in biology, animal sciences, and/or animal husbandry) + ß(total clock hours Reading and Researching reptiles).

That equation is as follows : CIFS = xH + µY + zE + ßR.

Of course, this is very simplified, and in its early stages.
Although I expect even this scientific equation will not satisfy.
The ones crying out the most about "rep" want some mysterious ethereal prestige for.....foot stomping?...most noise?...biggest tantrums?...most snide remarks?...or I don't know what.
None of which I know how to measure,...and none of which deserves praise or commendation.
