Should the Rep System be Removed?

So you post an average of about 4 posts a day, and I post and average of 22 a day. You now have over 45000 points and I have almost 400. I have 22 reps on my profile which is about 18 points per rep. Divide your points on your profile by the number of reps on your User CP and tell us how many points you are getting per rep.
I am pretty sure Knight mentioned something about the number of reps received per positive rep is determined by join date and the rep power of the person giving them to you. I might be wrong.

I do vaguely remember something about that, but it was not clear, and if that is the case then why eliminate the reps? It will NEVER be egalitarian, contrary to Knight's apparent claim or reasoning.

You're kinda a motormouth, aren't you.
:chuckle:

For right now, yeah, that looks about right.

I don't know how many reps I get per day. My page only shows the last 25 given. And they are all from today. I don't know how many from today have already scrolled off my screen.


All I can say for sure is that I did not give myself one single rep point.
All my points came from others. So if I'm #1, it is because of others, not me.
Thank you, others!

And this is the very first time I have been #1 with anything according to numbers on TOL.
You can either join in my moment of joy, or not. It's my moment, and I will just enjoy it while it lasts. For this may be the one and only time I am ever #1 at anything on TOL.

Yeh, well I have my moments. A lot less now that I have put a lot of Unis on my ignore list.

I think this is standard but I was just trying to see if we could get a feel as to what your reps are worth compared to mine or others.

I'm sure that is NOT possible and I did not imply nor think you did. I was just trying to see if it indeed is equitable.

StanJ should be happy with what he gets. Jealousy might be one of his problems?

You're lucky to have what you got.
