I have over 700 points and only show 5 cans. I think the system updates the
can count at somewhat distant intervals. This is just my guess, however.

Of course you are. And sadly, I tried to rep you again and was informed I cannot yet.

But fear not, I will actively rep around the boards until I can rep you again and help increase the physical manifestation of your awesomness!

you got your last dark can when you hit 500. The light green cans are worth 250 points, so you will see your first light green when you hit 750.

Thanks, Ruby, I knew there had to be a reasonable method to
this "madness", some kind of system to rep and cans. Come
on 750, I'm almost there!!!

Rabbit, Imfree. Hope my lil rep helps

AnnMarie · 01-12-2008, 05:25 PM

Actually, the rep levels were adjusted a while back and they're no longer as systematic as they once were. Not all dark green are worth 100, not all light worth 250, etc. As you get higher in rep, the intervals between cans and such is FAR greater. For instance, the can I have right now - my last gold? I've had it for well over 2000 points. The one before that was worth less.

Best advice, don't worry about the cans, just post and enjoy. The cans will come when you least expect them.

^ What she said.

I haven't gotten a new can in nearly 700 points.

BigBeautifulMe · 01-12-2008, 05:30 PM

I lost count, but I *think* it's been 1500 or so for me since my last new can.

Thanks S/D and Bex, I love when people give me rep out
of kindness, I can really be a rep-whore. My fave's,
though are the ones I got the old-fashioned way, by
writing good stuff and EARNING rep.

NancyGirl74 · 01-12-2008, 06:50 PM

I just repped everyone on this thread (except Ashley because I have to spead it around some more) for the sheer joy of repping. Go forth and rep, my children!

Good point there, NancyGirl. You can only reap what you sow, so
sow plenty of rep to reap more rep!!!

Interesting.....I always wondered about the "cans" and that little burst of sun I think I've seen too. I doubt I'll ever get to that point because I don't post nearly as much as you all or have anything interesting to add either. LOL.

BigBeautifulMe · 01-12-2008, 08:27 PM

The little burst of sun is when you've gotten the maximum number of rep cans. You get that "sunburst" and then start over again with the cans.

Shosh · 01-12-2008, 09:11 PM

I have actually started to enjoy the rep system.

It is pretty good actually.

I don't really like or dislike the actual cans...but I do love reading the comments behind them.

Hahahaha

It has taken me nearly two years to get all these cans! Bexy has been a member since September and she is nipping at my heels can wise.

I would like to formally retract any and all references to my previous dislike of the rep system.
It's all gravy now!

imfree · 01-12-2008, 09:32 PM

Thanks, Guys, I'm so close to that 750 Rep line that I can feel the charge,
hear the buzz, and draw sparks to my grounding stick!

cammy · 01-12-2008, 09:42 PM

I've wondered about those cans since I joined DIMS - I just thought they were an indication of how long I've been a member coupled with the amount of posts I've made. How do I check the comments that have been made? Also, what is "Zoints," please?

Click "User CP" in the upper left hand corner of the screen.

Something safely ignorable.

It's a secondary profile system in case you want more than what the board allows you to tell.

cammy · 01-12-2008, 10:18 PM

Thanks guys...I found them. Now I'll figure out how to rep others and get on board.

When you first join and start getting rep, you earn cans pretty quickly. As your rep cans go up, it takes a lot more rep points to get a can. I'm betting the points required for a bright green can are more than the first green cans you earned

The gold cans seem to come after 800 points, by my best guesstimate
