Title: Forum's "Reputation" System
Post by: NRAInstructor on August 02, 2021, 02:58:21 PM
Just curious as to how this works...  I notice I already have a -1  :naughty:  (I was expecting it to be much lower than that by now... LOL!!)

But I don't see anywhere that I can give out reputation "points" to anyone else.  I am assuming that changes once I hit a certain rank?

Thank you in advance.

Hi!

Under each person's reputation +/-, there are clickable options that say "Hi-Five" and "Bitch-Slap". You can only see these options if you're logged in. I don't know if you have to hit a certain rank first, but that seems likely.

If someone is concerned about likes or bitch-slaps on an otherwise friendly forum, perhaps it is the wrong place to be hanging around.  Honestly never look at mine and think it is a silly social construct.  IIRC, the V-Bulletin software program that runs this place has the +/- as a default.

Joined a message board this spring completely unrelated to politics on a forum with a similar "ranking" system, and quickly learned that it is akin to fraternity/sorority hazing to get the bitch slaps early on.  Still have far more negatives yet people still appreciate the contributions that I make.

My advice to our new Massachusetts member: Make interesting posts that our little rag-tag group of conservatives interested in, and your + thing will increase.  Whining about it will only make it plummet.

Yeah, I'm really not concerned with it. I was just wondering how it worked. For all I know, if I got a thousand points I get free ammo per something.

That's kinda why I asked.

Must tell you NRA ...

When I first joined I was told to treat "bitch-slaps" as  badges of honor.

So here is another just to help you out.  :-)

It's not in his job description. Bitchslapped for failure to know what Dutch's job is, especially with your high post count.

Hmmm?  Do tell!

I don't happen to have a high post count darlin' man ...

But I, also, have no idea just what the dickens his job is in here.  Self-appointed-Grand Poobah, or what?  >most-enjoyable-evil-grin<

Last time I checked (and it's been a while), Dutch's job description is:

Nothing there full-time about administering bitchslaps, though he's been known to do that on an ad hoc basis. He tends to exhibit a lot of initiative.

If you have to ask, you deserve a(nother) bitch slap

Last time I checked (and it's been a while), Dutch's job description is:
  • Describing the aftereffects of encountering more than 3 DUmmies in a single afternoon (it can be hazardous to one's health)
  • Licking postage stamps for all CCers who are mailing love letters to Nancy Pelosi
  • Teaching basket-weaving for shut-ins
  • Going the wrong direction on escalators (it keeps him in shape)
  • Brushing his teeth using a toothbrush that he once used on his combat boots (it keeps him gritty)
  • Scowling into the camera when somebody takes his photo

Nothing there full-time about administering bitchslaps, though he's been known to do that on an ad hoc basis. He tends to exhibit a lot of initiative.

Pretty good list, really .

I also spank single moms, as needed,  but that's more of a hobby that a job description...
