I thought I'd would be an intresting idea to get Warboardians to get togheter and look at past posts that they made that were wise, accurate and dead on.

That button helps, even if it is only temporary. What you're suggesting is incredibly time-consuming, a massive project, and all-out futile. What's to be gained? We all think we're right anyway.

In other words, just take a peek at your user control panel to see which of your posts did the other members like, as indicated by a shiny big blue ball of rep.

[TheDriver]

I know what my best posts are, im just proposing sharing them.

[Vezer]

I wonder how the penisfolk would reproduce.

Didn't you learn anything in Sex Ed?

Obviously via female penises.

I was particularly proud of this post, and got a lot of karma for it:

There are a bunch of good posts that everyone has made at one point or another. Here's a surprisingly simple formula I've learned:

More Effort = Better Post

[Magmaniac]

I got some good rep for:

My best post was here. (http://www.warboards.org/showpost.php?p=620133&postcount=21)

But yeah, I used to love going into the IR and just screwing with people's minds, but now it's just lost it's appeal.

[IrishDutchman]

I don't know how to link to a seperate post, so I'll just quote it here.

Depends on who, how, when and for what reasons. It's a pretty broad question. If my country turned into a dictatorship and the French decided to liberate us from our opressors, no problem.
If Germany decided to pull another 'hey let's take over the world', I would be less compliant. However, I doubt I'd join the resistance. A lot of people here say they'd die for their country, but I find that hard to believe.
When Holland was conquered by the Germans in WWII, less than 2% of the population was an active member of the resistance. Pretty much everyone hated the Germans' guts, but joining the resistance = getting killed, and probably your family and friends too. If one german soldier was killed, all the men in the village were lined up and shot.
If you compare that 2% with the 52% in this poll, I think you'll agree someone needs a reality check.
It's very nice and inspiring to think of yourself as a brave and valiant protecter of freedom, but realistic? I think not.
The poll lacks the option that the grand majority of people really chooses. Sit it out and try to survive the best you can.

That one got me a lot of rep.

[Schwitzer]

Well, if "reputation" is any indication: my thoughtless, two-second posts are pure gold while my carefully considered ones are utter trash.

The jury's still out.

Don't kid yourself Schwitzer, you're fingers are coated with uber-reputation-ness. Every keystroke you type is worthy of being carved into gold tablets and placed around the world for all others to see your superior skills.


Ok, that's my suckup for the year.

[Gunmonk]

People seemed to enjoy this post... Shows even the random theist can enjoy mocking Richard Dawkins, and/or using terms meant to mock their faith and embrace them.

http://www.warboards.org/showpost.php?p=615814&postcount=25

And also for obvious reasons I myself personally enjoyed this one...

[Basan]

I simply came to the conclusion that when my sarcasm meter is higher (http://www.warboards.org/showpost.php?p=520149&postcount=4) is when am having a greater tendency to get karma points. Go figure human logic, eh. :P

P.S. - Even though I haven't won any particular karma points with that one I recall receiving heaps of it in one of the threads that were auto generated by the ban messages to the user that resulted from it. :smirk:

[WarInSerbia]

AMG double post :o
Please im new here but i make exelent scenarios and im wondering how to make your own (custom) stuff?
Yup my first post

I got like 70 rep points for this one (record holding post for now)
Do you believe/have faith in god?

[DoctorZettabyte]

A lot of people repped me for my colorful post in the fake moderator elections, but I didn't walk away with many points at all. I also got a lot of rep for my Unreal Anthology Review, but since then, I only get one or two rep for posts here and there.

I've been repped for post reports, too. Pretty strange, as I have no idea which report it was, because vB won't let me see it :rolleyes:.

That is the result of being given karma through an invisible post to you. *Wink, blown out of the water hint* That happens when the post is anywhere inside a forum that you can't see (like for instance the reported posts). ;)

What is pretty strange is that I'm getting a few karma points for letting my GA side out more often (than I usually did when in staff). :rolleyes:

Yeah, I figured.

Yeah Basan, let it all hang out. :-P

i don't really get rep all that often, makes me sad and I cry and stuff.

anyway I got some rep for this (http://www.warboards.org/showthread.php?p=622359#post622359) and this (http://www.warboards.org/showthread.php?p=623037#post623037) and neutral rep for this (http://www.warboards.org/showthread.php?p=623356#post623356) that I haven't been able to decode.

"I love your supposed macabre friend-corruption illness"

i dun understand, makes me feel st00pid :(

About a month ago, in June I think, I got negative rep from Protogod for something.

I gave him negative rep right back. That was kinda funny.

I've been getting a lot of rep lately. I don't know, I think people are trying to get on my good side or something. o.O

[DoctorZettabyte]

Once you hit the "Godlike" rep stage, isn't it somewhat pointless to care anymore? You're not getting any more balls -- God knows you have enough already.

I agree with this, but more effort does not necessarily mean more words.

[ZeratulStukov]

One of my posts actually got two rep points... by that I mean that two persons gave me rep for it...

Here (http://www.warboards.org/showpost.php?p=618500&postcount=2) it is!

+edit:

I would like to add that my favourite post (from the ones I posted, of course) is the following one:

I don't really enjoy doing it with myself, but I won't hesitate, if there isn't anyone else willing to.

No, it is not sexually themed. It actually involves role-playing. View my user profile to see it :P :D

[DoctorZettabyte]

I got rep from two people while I was away doing some hard labor for some relatives. Digging holes isn't my specialty. I did, however, get to use a drill that looked suspiciously like a Gravity Gun. It just had a digging drill bit. Tons of fun.

In other news, I'm exhausted and I leave for New York City tomorrow afternoon. Bleargh.

[KillerKow]

Where do you find which posts you've been given reputation for? I can only seem to find a listing of recent reputation points given. And it doesn't show all of them ('cause you know, I get so much rep ;P).

[TheDriver]

Haha, I'm not entirely sure.

Don't think it's possible.

[Duddits]

Get it right Zelt', Duddits was the king of drunken posting!

I like that one.

Apart the more recent ones in your User CP, I don't think that it's currently possible. I, however can recall a few since I'm such a memory elephant. :)

Anyway, the closest call to getting a full list of whom got karma and from whom it was (i.e, not the exact posts) that I know of is the global mod' CP. :shiftyl:

[deadkat]

Received most rep for this (http://www.warboards.org/showpost.php?p=590726&postcount=968) one.

Surprisingly, it took no effort at all. Two words, six keystrokes.

The attachment disappeared for unknown reasons, but apparently people loved that wallpaper.

[TheDriver]

What was the attachment?

[NoobOfLore]

My favorite post is this one.
Thank you irony!

Haha. Irony savez the day!11

[GenocideAlive]

I don't neg rep people, imo it's just spreading misery and other pointless bullshit.

Even after the big AJ ERASER hit on my rep, I still cared. Thankfully, after a bit of time, I think I've finally let go. So long, and thanks for all the rep.

[NoobOfLore]

For anyone who gives a crap, the irony in my post was due to the fact that it was contradictory to itself, and my claiming it was ironic, and it not being ironic, is what induces the irony, while simultaneously creating a logical dilemma.

[TheDriver]

My most dead on post (according to rep)was This (http://www.warboards.org/showthread.php?p=501921#post501921) .
I myself am rather fond of it.

[Anoiktos]

I can't say any of my posts have been particularly high quality. I do regret, however, that I have but one keyboard to sacrifice in the name of my forum.

As Geno said (I'm paraphrasing):

So long, and thanks for all the crap.

The posts I'm most fond of all tend to be roleplaying posts, and none of them are on this forum. I *still* nitpick at the grammar and spelling I used oh, a month ago.

[TheDriver]

You offered handy tech advice correct?

[NoobOfLore]

So far, I have Never gotten more than one rep for a single post. Shows how mostly useless I am.
