I've been looking around for an explanation regarding a poster's reputation.  What it all means.  Can someone point me in the right direction?

Well........ it's SUPPOSED to be that IF someone likes your posts or whatever, they can high 5 you and if they don't, they can bitch slap you. However, because of certain penis envy contests, it's abused. Because of that, it really doesn't mean much of anything. There is no "prize or punishment", good OR bad.

Was there an ample supply of testosterone involved in those penis envy contests?

I figured it was a good post / bad post thing and I've been looking around for where one does positive rep another, but found nothin'!  Since it doesn't mean much anymore, I'll ignore the fact that I have more neg rep than positive.  Keep in mind people ... I'm a lover not a fighter and I'll defend my conservatism to the death!  So all you liberal progressives can attempt to increase my neg rep all you want!

When you are viewing posts, look below a person's avatar, and you will see the High Five/Bitchslap option.  However, you may not see them until your post count exceeds a certain amount.  I could be wrong.  Don't quote me on that.

Yeah, I don't see that option.  I think you might be right about the post count.

the peach cobbler issue is one of those "enter this domain at your own peril" kinda deals.

There is ALWAYS ice cream involved. On that score you can depend.
