Thread ratings seem kind of dumb

I'm trying to figure out why people like Smarty have full on rep boxes. I mean, yeah, Fifth, Krylo, whatever, but Smarty hates everything.

But, then, yeah - I was told the secret to getting a fully erect e-peen would be to become an unmitigated asshole, so I think my peen will continue to have problems. Everytime I try to be an asshole I get banned.

That's because you are not the type of asshole that the mod's e-peen likes...


...that came out wrong.

...yeah.

I blew all the mods a while back. Mod rep is the good shit.

I'm trying to figure out why people like Smarty have full on rep boxes.

I've received rep for some of my most terrible posts, I've received rep that I'm pretty sure was sarcastic and there's one confirmed instance in my rep list of someone repping me because they were missing the point of my post.

I negative rep wasn't destroyed, rep is just somewhat neutral rep now.

I've come to realize SMB is like Dali.

I rep like a motherfucker for good puns, just putting that out there. I also rep people when I've successfully annoyed them, randomly as a form of annoyance that never goes away, and anytime someone boosts my ego.

Basicaally I am glad. Rep came up because thread rates are like rep but for threads, with negarepping enabled, and done anonymously, which is to say taking away all the things that keep rep from being asstarded.

Also ig I think that ratings do make sense, just on like forums with tens of thousands of active users with enough people voting to establish a meaningful aggregate AND with like so many new threads / unknown users that its worth it to have some sor of communal quality check, but for the what MAYBE couple hundred active people here who more or less know each other it is pretty pointless

Also seil the best fastest way to get rep is to do something nice that people enjoy.

i would still love if there was some sort of "Badge" or "Achievement" system where you would get Badges after certain conditions were met, and the mods could award badges at will and maybe even users award badges they made themselves for one another.

It would be the most passive-agressive fun ever.

[Fifthfiend]

It would be beautiful the way Hell is beautiful

[Premmy]

I wouldn't want badges to be awarded, but unlock-able achievements would be cool.
even better if you could select one to always display under your repbar
It would be odd though, you'd have to make something that involved the search function, say make ten threads/posts involving the phrase "Dirty Hippies" to get the Cartman Achievement/badge.

Achievements on this little forum would be a little more than I could handle.
