Forum Error?

[Alex_Olijar]

I was checking out the stats and found that I am the 5th most respected member. Is this a forum error? I can't possibly have 43 respect points. Has my switch to AADamage skin (which does not show respect) blinded me that much?

That being said, I have a simple request. If you come across a post by myself that was liked, or you like a post by me, please link to it in this thread. I would appreciate links to my posts that were liked. I'm really genuinely curious how this happened.

1 Respect!
2 Respect!
3 Respect!
4 Respect!
5 Respect!
6 Respect!

Am I the only one that has no idea what Alex is talking about?

[Alex_Olijar]

I am referring the up and down arrows. The forum catalogues it as respect for statistical purposes. You are actuall ythe most respected member at 94 (mostly for great punning, I imagine).

EDIT: http://www.cactusgamedesign.com/message_boards/index.php?action=stats

Bottom of that page has respect.

EDIT2: Ok, technically the middle of the page. Sorry.

Interesting. I never knew that was there. LOL at me being the most respected. 

FWIW, Josh Kopp is the official Poster Child of the Redemption Message Boards.

He has posted around 1/10th of all forum messages. He's pretty Epic.

If it helps, I noticed that you got plenty of thumbs up throughout the Rapture thread.

[Alex_Olijar]

Thank you! 2/43 respect points have been located! Unfortunately, the princess is in another castle! respect is still out there!

Holy crud, I'm more respected than CactusRob.
On second thought:
Holy crud, I'm on there at all!

[Alex_Olijar]

Cactus Rob's respect per post (calculated based on posts since respect was enabled) is most likely astronomically higher than your, so that makes it alright.

EDIT: Rob is averaging ~2 respect per post since the system was enabled, however, his post-respect posts only recieved 12 of his 21 points. That means people were sniping older threads.

ut oh, now we have a place that quantifies all the respect totals. expect abuse, mayhem, and chaos to ensue.

Thats been there from the start.... I've been waiting for Hobbit to sell packs for respect

Indeed. Perhaps "respect" is not the best word. That count should be called "Gimme some dat."

*explosion*

[Alex_Olijar]

Personally, I just want to find out how I got respected. I don't know how it happened. I've always thought of myself as a bad troll and a divisive debater. Apparently though, someone likes that.

Well, that's not true. You often interject the voice of reason in the middle of the shouts of anarchy.

[lightningninja]

That was deep.

[The M]

if you are not respected are you disrespected?

[YourMathTeacher]

if you are not respected are you disrespected?

No, it just means you're underrated, which makes the arrow pointing down appropriate.

[The M]

good to some extent i suppose

[YourMathTeacher]

Ironically, my number has dropped from 94 to 86. It was inflated in the first place, so soon enough I will be back to normal. I guess I will have to stop posting on the "No, you're thinking of" thread, since someone gives everyone a -1 when they post there.

[The M]

hah! only 85 more respect to be found!

[Rawrlolsauce!]

I dropped from 3rd place (like 30 something) to almost 0 after I posted "HAH! I have more encouragements than you, therefore I am better. The only people who have more encouragements than me cheated: they made multiple accounts to + 1 their own posts!".

I don't regret it though. Gotta tell the truth 

[The M]

happy?

[SomeKittens]

When numbers are involved, no one is happy.  Everyone wants bigger ones.

*goes to thread, 's everything"
