I think what he is trying to say (canniboss) is that he gets a lot of recognition for "troll type comments" or "witty, smart ass comments" but he feels he doesn't get enough positive rep for when he helps someone out.

Here is my response. (Canniboss) I suggest you focus on separating yourself from others by providing intellectually sound suggestions and observations to people. You have been on this thread for about 2 years, but you hardly ever post, the odds of you getting a full 11 bars of reputation is VERY unlikely because like I said, you never post. When you create threads like this about Reputation it rubs people the wrong way. All I can suggest is stop posting in this thread and it'll eventually disappear in the archives of RIU; and begin posting informative material; you will see your reputation go up.

I think the points the rest of us were trying to make to the OP (but he missed) were:

A. Rep points are stupid and don't count for anything (Iv gotten about 50 for this thread alone).
B. Starting a thread about getting rep is lame
C. Starting a SECOND thread about getting rep is super lame
and
D. "Weak sauce" is a new way of saying lame ;)

Thanks smokebros, your the only one who actually read and understood my gripe. I know that I won't get lots of rep for my posts (it's just when I take the time to help someone with a specific problem and they thank me and everything clicking that star is the least they can do)
I find it really sickening that the trolls are taunting me with the fact that they rep each other for being trolls. When all I want is a little clarification about which is which.
And there is nothing witty about being a troll

Herrakin you were only trying to rain on my parade. You made NO points whatsoever. You sir are a troll.

And you did not participate... you tried (and did) ruinmy thread

ALL I can say is does it matter what the little bars and points under your screenname say? Do you allow them to dictate who you are? psh. fuck those little bars and numbers.

The problem with the giving advice to new members who are strangers is simple, they are brand new on this site...have no idea what all of the features entail. Therefore, it would be very hard for some of these "new" members to give you +rep for your responses. Plain and simple, if you want rep include yourself in threads that are worthy of deserving reputation. Eventually your reputation will build, i have not been a member here for very long and i already have nearly twice as many posts than you in the 2 years that you have been a member. Involve yourself in some good threads and it will come around!

And the fact that new members will give you gray rep, which doesn't even do anything really.
