Reputation?
I was messing around with my profile and somehow managed to find something that said 'Latest reputation received' or words to that effect - anyone know what this means?

It's a function where the little green blocks under your post count represent your "rep". It doesn't do anything, really, but some people care about it. You click on the scale icon in a post, and you can give negative or positive "rep" depending on how you feel about the psot.

For instance, lilacstar, I just clicked on yours and added "Drinks water out of the toilet bowl" to your reputation.
It will stay with your for life and be inscribed on your tombstone.

I didn't know what those were either. I've never used them. I looked and I have some, but I don't know how to tell who they're from unless there's a name in the message. Am I missing something? Should I be giving these to people?

I've rolled over a few people's little green box and it says the same for everyone - "on a distinguished road"

GOD NO!!! They should only be used by the wise and well-balanced. Like the three I got from the god formerly known as truth teller.
Some people's don't say that. They say, like "This person is on a shabby road to ruination that leads through tacky strip malls and abandoned construction sites for fast food scams" |

I was just wondering about that myself. Thanks for beating me to the question.  *checks reputation* Alright! *sees what his one reputation point was for: his introductory post* Aww man...I thought I had said something profound in one of my comments. XD

Yeah, they need to leave their name in the actual message, Lilac. It's probably a confidentiality thing.
Here's my latest (and it's bad.) Someone left this: Ego tripping, arrogant fool.
*Cries* You're hurting my feelings here!

Do you automatically have a good reputation?
