My apologies

Originally Refalm set things up so everyone had neutral rep when they joined but for some reason he changed it to positive, because of this all the really old members have blue squares. I personally disagree with this so whenever an old member returns (providing they were at least half decent) I always positive rep them.

Another reason for having a blue square might be that someone without much rating power has negitive repped them after they were made positive. Rating power depends on your status and your current reputation mods probably have the highest power and trolls have none.

A black square means someone has disabled their reputation - I believe onlyn the mods and VIPs have this option.

Hmmm, I want a blue square.

It's a ridiculous system like postcounts and regdates. Does nothing for the general well being of the community, except put an emphasis on epenis nonsense.

It's a ridiculous system like postcounts and regdates.

And V.I.P. status.

[xyle_one]

Yep. I don't what VIP does aside from give me access to the friends forum. Perhaps that's a perk from being a moderator for a time.

What the f*ck is 'epenis'? :rolleyes:

Sounds like an immature made up word :rolleyes:.

It is a well-known phenomenon that impotent men buy Corvettes.  Since the true penis can no longer function as a private, inner status symbol, the poor old guy gets himself a functioning public status symbol.  It's kinda like beating up homosexuals to prove how straight you are, when you are really a closeted queer.

On the internet, I can't wave my cock around and show you how big it is, and therefore how awesome I am.  Well, actually, I can, but you wouldn't see it.  So I have to have post counts, and green lights, and Linux cred, and a meaningful username that is neither cliche nor obscure, and all that other stuff - public symbols of my awesomeness.  When you see stuff like that, you KNOW I am badass.

Yeah, epenis is a made up word.  But I think it fits well.

it's probably e-penis ... as in e-penisenvy ... yeah it's made up

=========================================================8

= e-penis (I hope it doesn't count as pr0n)

[piratePenguin]

All words are made up.

If enough people used the term "epenis", it'd get into the dictionaries (at least that's true with other words/terms, according to some guy on the radio (then again, the radio (and shows) is (are) like 50 years old, so maybe things have changed since 1955/whenever. Yea, I'm just being stupid. Ignore this bracket.).
