becoming a reputable member?

[McLuvinladyboys]

yeah this is a great site, lemme tell you. you dont have to worry about anything and can be yourself, i have an xpeeps account(never use it) facebook, myspace and whole bunch, cant really talk about my love of ladycock there. my family knows about some, my friends know about others, and i rarely look at them anymore anyway,(the sites i mean not my family)

With every day that i look at the forum i grow more and more to it. Everyone seems to have positive outlooks on each thread and thats what i think makes this place feel so comfortable. Its so easy to talk to people

For those who are worried about Reputation:

May I suggest that you write down a few lines from now on in your posts to enrich the forum. Dont go on increasing your post count with empty words like "thanks, awesome, wow" and such like. The moderators want members to really participate in the discussions. Thats just my humble advice. And I'm not a moderator.

Nobody adds rep points for just saying "cool" or "thanks pal". Just give them a fair chance to like your posts.

Just out of curiosity, where does it talk about gaining reputation points?
I have been a member for quite a while now, and never read or saw anything regarding reputation points in the rules section or in FAQ's. (I'm not saying its not there, just that I don't readily see it)
It took another member to point it out, otherwise I was quite unaware there even was such a thing. All I saw was about how to rate a thread.
Mind you, I don't particularly care about it, it has never been an issue or a goal. Just curious. (a good idea though)
I stand on my own merit, and have always just been grateful this forum exists, () and I've been having too much fun to worry or even think about the rep points.
I do wish more people would participate in a meaningful way.

People have posted on this subject in the past and someone just sent me a PM about it. Thanks for being "curious".

I think rep points are supposed to encourage good posts and discourage abusive ones. Though I have rarely seen points being deducted from a member.
