My rep whine- I think rep is somehow laced with a narcotic. It's just so damn addictive and you need more and more to feel satisfied after every hit.

I'm twitching and scratching here from rep withdrawal.

I've got a rep question. Is there a maximum number of rep you can get for 1 post? If not, what is the most rep you've gotten for 1 post? (Either the number of people that repped you or the total amount)

Man, I got a shit ton when I posted in the ~Belly Hang Thread~. Probably two or three bright green cans' worth.

What the-?!?!? First someone says that they get at least one inappropriate PM a day on a different thread and now this! I've posted half nekkid pics, been witty, gone for the politically correct, and even tried some sexual innuendo. All I've ever gotten was a few nice rep points but never that many. Two or three cans worth?!?!?!? That's it! I'm done!....Right after I checkout Tooz's belly hang pic.

Hard to say since
1. the amount of rep you get depends on the individual poster giving it to you
Rep from Santaclear or Tina with their "yellow suns" on top of the cans bears a lot points
2.Rep from a new poster with one can brings significantly less (all rep is appreciated by the way

)
I have no clue how many points I got at the time....don't really mark it daily or anything but my "record" is repped by 11 people for one post. (I noticed because I kept being surprised whenever I logged in and saw more rep for it

) I haven't even came close to that again.
It was a post in a "controversial" thread.

***I really think "spreading it around" is the best thing.....I get repped for humor, for pictures, for "controversial" opinions or just because someone likes me. There really is no "formula" for getting rep, IMO. Just be yourself...and let the cards fall where they may. A high rep status doesn't make anyone's post more valuable than another. It's just fun to see and getting the private messages...kind of like a private *high five* that I enjoy

Some other threads about rep...

This one goes into some detail about why some people give rep

I took it down a few weeks ago when I got a random rep for it as it was almost a year old.

Tad · 06-13-2008, 11:51 AM

Mer: she was talking about the 'belly hang' thread, I don't think you'd do so well on that one, from what you've said about yourself

Somewhere up the thread, someone was wondering how many points it took to get various numbers of cans. Having just gotten my second yellow can

I can tell you that takes 2800 points. I think the first yellow can was at 2000, but I'm not sure anymore--it was a while ago.

In response to another question, I don't think I've ever gotten more than three or four rep comments from any particular post, and as often as not when I do it will be some silly, throw-away, comment (I recently got two rep comments just for using the word 'persnickety.' It is odd what triggers people to give rep!) Although what put me over the line for the second yellow can was three reps from a serious post, which just might be a record for me.

And I'll say I appreciate getting rep, but for the comments more than the points or the cans (no matter what it sounds like with me going on about my new can in this post--oops I did it again!). When I see that people liked what I said enough to take a moment to acknowledge it, I do appreciate that. Even more when they type in a few words (sometimes rep comes in blank, which is still nice, but I like to know why they are repping....a word they liked, the points I made, I made them laugh, because they meant to rep me last week and couldn't and when they saw a post by me it reminded them so they repped that post instead....)

KuroBara · 06-13-2008, 08:21 PM

I whine for rep. I'm a rep whore, will be free to admit it. Will debate for rep!! Or show a few body parts, but I never get much notice for those.

imfree · 06-20-2008, 07:20 PM

I'm at 1695, someone please push me over 1700,
after all, rep whoring is rep whoring! I guess I
could get electrical.......a HV pulse capacitor
should do.

Your shamelessness knows no bounds. I shouldn't be encouraging you.

I tried to help out, don't know if it worked or not since I have no idea how much my rep is worth.

William · 06-20-2008, 07:29 PM

I wish that we could choose which comments that we could Keep

Don't feel bad I think sometimes my rep goes down after I make a couple of righteous posts

imfree · 06-29-2008, 05:28 PM

I'm up to 1735 points of rep, now. I see 2000
in the not so distant future. Thanks Guys,
you're great! I'm even almost ready to give
up that habit of rep-whoring, and see if I
can coast to 2000 on good posts...........

lmao

Ninja Glutton · 06-30-2008, 03:10 PM

Seems like after I posted in this thread, I never get rep anymore

imfree · 07-11-2008, 08:22 PM

Thanks for all the rep, Guys. 1780 and all is well.
I'm drifting toward 2000 on earned rep and it's
getting pretty near!.

AZ_Wolf · 07-15-2008, 02:57 AM

I've been here for ages and have always written honestly. But I've gotten far more rep from Hyde Park than here. I just need one more to get two cans, so for that reason alone, I feel like a presidential candidate and I am willing to shill myself for a vote.

imfree · 07-15-2008, 06:37 AM

Thanks Guys, I'm at 1831 and lookin'
good to go to 2000!

NancyGirl74 · 07-15-2008, 07:06 AM

What does it take to get a third yellow can? Does anyone know? I've had two for a while and the rep keeps coming (Thanks Everyone) but it just won't add up to a third yellow can. I'm not trying to be rep greedy or anything. Just curious.

I know your pain.
Whenever I see someone who joined a month ago who is kicking my ass rep-wise I die a little inside.

It all depends on what you post, where you post, and how often you post. Someone might have more cans than you do and have been here less time but it could be they have 1,000 more posts than you do and post on the more frequented threads.
