i want everyone to go look at who has just earned enough rep points to be placed in the very top spot tonight.
congratulations karma, tonight the "emmy" goes to you.

so let's all step our game up just a bit.
when you post something more insightful and thoughtful, other members notice it and want to hear more. they will begin to up your rep points with every good one you have.

we have always tried to have at least one little thread reminding others to continue to make posts that help others grow, and all awhile congratulating whomever just turned a new page (such as rollo and str8up and joekerr in the past)

this site is honored to have great members, who don't sugar coat life.

i can't wait to see a bunch of new threads that this will spawn.

Cool deal, Karma

Good job, bro

KontrollerX · Mar 30, 2008

I was at 92 points but some knob negged me.

In anycase great work brother Karma.

How do you find the top rankings anyway Penkitten?

A mod posted a link to that once but I don't know how we normal users would find it by navigating the site.

KarmaSutra · Mar 30, 2008

Wow.

I'm stunned. Seriously.

I appreciate every one of you brothers and sisters. You're my family and my friends and I have a place in my heart for all of you.

(clearing my throat)

"Whoa boy! Whew! I'd first like to thank the Academy, my beloved SoSuavers, our SSoldiers fighting the good fight, God and country. My agent Leon Bernbaum, all of the writers who write such wonderful posts and allow me to pass them off as my own, and finally Mrs. K without whom I am nothing."

"Thanks for the BIG ONE!"

Goognight and God bless SoSuave!

Nighthawk · Mar 30, 2008

Give us the top ten at least. They all deserve a mention.

I'm on 57 - is that high?

KarmaSutra · Mar 30, 2008

Here brother Nighthawk:

Members list by reputation:

penkitten · Mar 30, 2008

karma sutra
rollo tomassi
victory unlimited
str8up
joekerr31
killapetehog
bible-belt
interceptor
shezz
senor fingers

congratulations to each of you!

KarmaSutra · Mar 30, 2008

Penkitten is absolutely right.

Let's make this interesting. How about we show our competitiveness and good natured comradarie by becoming the best posters we can be. See who can be top rated in reputation?

This is a good way to show gratitude to our brothers and sisters who help us.

I know this will exponentially make the threads and posts much more concise.

I'm in brothers and sisters.

Right back atcha young Brother.

I appreciate everything you do to keep our home nice and clean.

Ken785 · Mar 30, 2008

how do you find out how many rep points you have? I never knew about reps before...

BMX · Mar 30, 2008

As of lately, I've had a resurgence of my own, but it will never get me onto the scale so to speak. Hey, it really could be in the negatives if I joined back in 2000 when I first started coming here snoopin' about. No worries, just good advice and stimulating convo to come, I hope.

On a questionably more serious note... The mod team has been keeping this quiet for some time, seeing how it would affect the Reputation system. Here are some changes that were recently made to it:

SoSuave.com said:
To date it has worked like this:

Start with 1 point of rep altering power.
Gain 1 point of rep altering power per 365 days as a member.
Must have 50 posts before your rep points count on others.
You get a new dark green dot below your name every 100 points. (100 points = 2 dots)
A new light green dot after that for every 200 points, up to 5 dark and 6 light dots. (1500 points = 11 dots)

The system has been getting used around 300 times a month.

Even after all this time our leaders barely have 100 points. The current top 5 are:

Rollo Tomassi 145
STR8UP 129
joekerr31 124
Interceptor 106
Shezz 106

The new improved system:

Start with 1 point of rep altering power.
Gain 1 point of rep altering power per 73 days as a member.
Gain 1 point of rep altering power per 100 points.
Must have 40 posts before your rep points count on others.
You get a new dark green dot below your name every 100 points. (100 points = 2 dots)
A new light green dot after that for every 200 points, up to 5 dark and 6 light dots. (1500 points = 11 dots)

We are trying to make reputation mean something, to distinguish the quality members from the not-yet-enlightened ones. Please, if you see a thread/post that really clicks with you, send the member rep points. If you see a post that brings down the quality of the board, by all means send negative rep. If we all start doing this, it will be clear to everyone on the board who to listen to and who to take advice from with perhaps a little more than a grain of salt.

Congrats Karma, it seems people really did listen to what you wrote at LS and here in recent days.
