advice on boosting my reputation here

[isthatso]

I'd like to get a score of 10 for my reputation within a week here.
Any ideas?

Forum rep isn't much of an accomplishment, though some rather accomplished posts are often repped. I recommend against concerning yourself with it.

Agree with Tealeaf.

Be yourself.

My first idea is that a thread like this isn't really the way to go about it...

Bribe other members. I'm giving you one just for this thread. LMAO!!

Rep other people. Pretend to be a girl. Post a lot in the game threads. Go into chat.

rofl!
i think being caught pretending to be a girl is a sure way to lose any rep points you may get lol.

really, what its all about it just to be yourself and make intelligent posts. or at least ones that others agree with.

£10 for first rep, £5 for every one after.
Money first, then I'll rep.

I don't necessarily think you have to be a girl. Just rep other people and they'll be likely to rep you back.

Good idea.

My brother says I don't have to pretend.

You don't have to but it would make it a lot easier if you are just going for reps.

I guarantee I could make a new account and follow those exact steps and get 15-20 rep within the week. There are other ways but that's how I would do it with a minimum amount of effort. I don't really know why you would care about rep either way.

Thanks for going around and trying to correct my posts all of the time. It contributes a lot to the threads.

I think this thread has more validity than most would think. The ability to promote yourself is a skill that is vital to a) finding a job and b) finding a partner.

Let's face it. Most love in the world is conditional. Like or not, to survive better, we need to work on making ourselves more loveable. I guess the more confident posters would say "I don't need to promote myself. I don't even have to try." Well the rest of us do. I am not naturally cool. My partner taught me to wear more fashionable clothes. Now I can choose them myself.

Also I am interested how conscious posters are of gaining a high score reputation here. Sounds so trivial but human beings can be pretty darn petty. I know I can be. And yes I care about my score. Thankfully someone has got me off the dreaded zero. I guess it's a reminder not to take forums too seriously as well. All in fun.

Legitimate "reps" come from people who like what you contribute to the forum. Note I said "legitimate."

This is true. I'm not saying I go around giving people nice reps just because I'm hoping they'll rep me back. I've just noticed that if I rep someone it sometimes prompts them to rep me back. People naturally are inclined to do something nice for you after you do something nice to them. They feel obligated (although they certainly don't have to respond with a rep).

Rep points don't mean anything since I'm clearly the awesomest person here and don't have the highest rep.

Agreed.

I heard that once you rep mintymint, the reps start pouring in.

I'm risking sounding like an idiot here but it wouldn't be the first time. If members say that they don't care about their rep total, then why is the "Negative Rep" function disabled? If nobody truly cared why is it deactivated?

 

[condemnedsoul666]

Because some people do care. :shy:
