Up my own arse
Now i'm not one to moan <whistle> but there is a growing trend on this forum whereby people are following other people about just to give them Positive Rep - Especially when the poster they Rep has a massive Rep count.

Not content with that, they advertise the fact by posting "repped" so the person they have repped knows they have been repped and can give some back, thereby boosting their own Rep.

I have seen some truly desperate things in my time but this really takes the proverbial biscuit, so is rep like Green Shield stamps or something? Do you get off on having a massive Rep score, does it make you feel better about yourself? Seriously?

The words of Groucho Marx come to mind when he said "I would not want to be a member of any club that would accept me as a member" (I'm paraphrasing).

In essence, I would much rather have Zero Rep and be oblivious to this whole sad chaarade than spend my waking hours pimping my arse around various forums to get some ethereal and wholly meaningless "reputation" from people I neither know nor respect. What makes it even more Ironic is that some of the best, most humourous posters on these forums have zero Rep, so I'd much rather join them than be aligned with botossers who care about such trivial ****e.


Get me back to Zero you sad boring bastards.

rep whores are scum. there should be some sort of law that we could punish them with, maybe a fine or 2 hours in jail.

repped
 
rep is meaningless anyway.. i did a good thing, and people neg repped me for it. Christ, something could happened to your sister, brother, daughter etc - and if i saved them, its only be the same thing. You'd be more grateful then!

BTW i hope these things don't happen.
