Color me back from vacation & confused....

[SLC93]

....or someone please tell me what the hellz reputation points are? Just trying to get current and noticed the little scales. When you place you cursor on them, reputation points? Probably shouldn't be so uninformed at this point but I gotta know. For the record, I just spent a week in Playa del Carmen. That being the case, insults will have no effect on me, unless you were somewhere cooler having naked fun.:D

[CoveMom]

Reputation points: Al Qaeda plot. Communist Plot. Obama Plot. Admin Plot. Whatever. I think the idea fizzled out before it got well underway. Do a search. There's a thread somewhere.

Oh, and it was put in place like....months ago. You haven't been in Playa del Wherever that long, have you??? :p

Mad_Fan, Is all of this correct English. Should Playa del Wherever been used?

The linguistic profile is not without issue...

Early…the terse sentence structure labors many readers…
Being given to laconic prose…
I, personally, take no issue with the curt response…
A string of compendious phrases conveys the point…

The collateral response is troubling…
A confrontational verse which bears the author’s nescience…;)
‘Playa del Wherever’ conjures up visions of vile undress…
Carmen provokes images of exquisite exposure…

SLC93’s absence…
That period of time…
Did little to accelerate the approach we await (kickoff)…
And proceeded too quickly, in Carmen time, as SLC would desire to have curbed its passage…

No, EaglelDude73, your post is most cetainly NOT correct English. I shall help you with it.


First, you must take note of this for all future reference, when using a proper noun (that's a name for something/someone) you should always use the proper spelling. mad_fan is not spelled with a capital M, even at the beginning of a sentence.

Second, when posting an interrogative, a "?" is to be used. It is not always required, i.e., when using sarcasm and stringing together phrases that end in an obvious statement of fact designed to make the reader/target feel that they have been ill-used. In this usage, however, it is required.

Third, when using "simple perfect" tense in the employment of the "be" verb, the use of an auxillary verb is required.

Here is the corrected version of your post:

Or were you asking about my use of English????? :D

Long have I sat in comtemplation while I gazed upon the perfection of this post. I have come to the inevitable conclusion that I can add no prose that would not damage its essential meaning. Therefore, I walk away unfulfilled in my desire to pontificate on its central theme and await the day I will be of some use in elevating the conversation on another matter.

I shall remain, until that day approach, :notworthy. :D





Oh, and did you call me vile?????? :eek:

Clearly...in a proper deconstruction of the passage which refers to the author CoveMom...the vile condition...a state of undress...occurs in Wherever...this is not where SLC was vacationing...but is a place...in this writers view...where the condition should not exist...it is for the reader to infer that the place referred to is close to home...:eek:

The burden that CM bears (bares)...is a lack of knowledge...the beauty to be found in Playa del Carmen...:)

I haven't been on vacation, nor am I somewhere cooler, (if only) and maybe if I had (or was) I would care less, but where are these "scales" with "reputation points" you speak of? :eek:

[drgnbkr]

You have one...;)

Wow, from the latin holius shitious! Under normal circumstances, and following general internet protocol, I would never admit to an inadequacy on the board. In this case, however, I must admit to a complete lack of understanding, with regards to this posting. Furthermore, I desire to put into the record that it is of no consequence to me if the above statement had any intent directed towards me, positive or negative. Our friend Mad simply strung together a series of words that have left me in complete awe. Well played!:D

It was all positive...for SLC...
CM...not so much...:p

[EagleDude73]

It should be the delta of points per number of posts. :D

[jc84chill]

This is just a system I have had in place to test for a few months now. Basically, when you make a post that others find to be a valuable post, they'll give you "rep". As your rep number increases, your title would change from say "bench warmer" to "BMOC". As of now, this only happens with post count and we'd like to promote quality over quantity. You could also receive "neg rep" for a post of zero quality.

I haven't had much time to test it out like I initially wanted to, so I'm probably just going to scrap it until next offseason.

How do you post rep points? (So that everyone knows.)

I have yet to unravel the riddle of where to put the quarter.

[CoveMom]

What is a reasonable # of points?

The number I have, minus one. That's about right in my opinion...:rolleyes:

If memory serves, only HoF's can give points, good or bad. I am, alas, not a member of the HoF. On this board, anyway.

Someone can give you credit for an excellent post. ktchamp is the master of this stuff - send him a pm.

I think my reputation is largely unchanged - which is a travesty.
