Usually referes to a carbon filter and fan combo used to clear the air/smell

Stupid question.. Is +rep just a slang term or can you actually increase a rep on the forum somewhere?

Bottom left hand area of a post. Looks like a sheriff badge, or a six-pointed star, click on that and you can add reputation (aka +rep) to a user for their post. Each person can give out a certain number of points based on their rep and post count (I believe). A new member like yourself Mr. Mcmangle cannot give out any points but it is always good to spread the love.

The amount of reputation a person has is indicated by the number of "badges" or colored squares located above their join date in the pinkish avatar pane to the left of their post.

I've been on RIU since December. Still don't know what troll is. Sorry to seem so dense but would someone explain it to me?

Troll - A Derogatory term used for someone who "trolls" around on forums. It essentially refers to someone who comes into a thread without any knowledge of what's being discussed and throws an opinion in without reading back at all. It is VERY commonly misused and used to refer to anyone on a forum that someone doesn't like. It's use has become common when insulting someone, cause it's use invokes a mob mentality among forum users. When they here someone called a troll, they will almost immediately turn on that person and ridicule them until they leave the thread.

I personally DESPISE this term. Because it's primary use is one of negativity. Rather then teaching someone who comes into a thread, you call them this....
Especially since HALF the people on thos forum are just trolling around it, and not actually posting journals or reading something new to learn from...mostly it's long time users chatting with one another.

Gotcha. Thank you for clearing that up. I could sense it was something negative but didn't understand the metaphor
