Can we agree to give the fretting over "reputation" a rest for just a little while? Let your words do the talking, not your shiny badges.
When a new e-peen extention comes out, it's hard not to pay attention to it.
Why else would people by iPads the day they came out, rather than waiting a month or so for a few extra bucks, or just ditch the whole idea and grab a laptop?
Meh, reputation system atm seems
slightly more screwed up than the karma system- in terms of points relative to actual intelligent output and contribution atm, meaning I lose out, since detailed responses to threads seem to be worth less than spam threads started, or effectively useless ones.
I can see some reputation spamming going on in the next few days though, should fix some stuff up.
And if not, I'll eventually stop worrying about my e-peen in a week or so.
Other people thinking a lot of you doesn't mean that much if the world already revolves around you : P
