How do you have so many reputation points?

Shit, I repped Psychoslice ffs. He was insane, his views were insane, pretty sure the staff at the time couldn’t stand him. He made me laugh, that was good enough for me.

Legit reasons to rep someone:
•You’ve taken time to get to know them personally and/or intellectually, have read and considered at least 80% of their posts and you’ve come to the conclusion that they are a valuable asset to the forum overall
•They make a post that you particularly enjoy or agree with or it’s just a really good point well made
•They are new and you want to make them feel welcome
•Corn on the cob
•In hopes that they’ll rep you back (especially valid during a rep race and/or rep war)
•You’ve offered a rep in exchange for a personal favor or nudes and you’re making good on your end of the deal
•You think they’re awful/stupid but in a funny or enjoyable way
•Literally just because they made a post wishing for more reps
•You’re testing out to see how long it would take to rep every single member
•They sent you money via Facebook Pay, cash app, or PayPal in exchange for a rep

Reps can be fun in a variety of ways, everyone treats them differently and experiences them differently. Who cares? They’re just a number on the internet. Enjoy them or don’t. I can’t help but roll my eyes at people that complain that reps are given to people who kiss the right people’s ass (lmao), well it is true that if you suck up to Tibbers’ wife literally everyone will rep you. No seriously, it’s true.

Okay, you can have your opinion and I can have mine. It's an arbitrary number and without any agreement across the entire community about what the number means... it's, well, meaningless.

Or....you can give someone a rep in fun referencing their opinion that rep points are worthless and have them PM you and say really shitty things to you.

It's good to find out who takes themselves way too seriously.
