If you look at someone elses post, on the right side by the number, there is an arrow that points up. If you like what that person has to say in that post, you click that arrow, and that person gets a reputation point, and in that box, that number 1, or whatever it is, is how many people have liked it. You will notice some will have a 2 or 3 or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries...I'm chuckling about it I have noticed the reputation points being given for a long time. And i'm sure that they are being given because the mystery point giver feels that it is a nice thing to do and all deserve a point for their post.

But don't quote me on that. Btw, I just gave you one for pointing out how we can show our approval of a post without posting a response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason behind them is to click on the up arrow if you agree with what the poster posted. showing approval or agreement. Some click on every post, good or bad, for some reason. Perhaps it is because they have voiced their opinion? Not sure why. The problem is, the agreement is not based on whether or not the post has sound biblical reasoning, but if someone agreed with them. This may be misleading to some who follow the idea that more points they have means they have the correct answers. I wish the site would do away with them, requiring the reader to focus on the content and not the points given. I'll step down off my soapbox now ...

You're so vain...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was joking around with them in chat awhile back, but thats about all theyre good for for me. Sometimes its interesting to go through my history and see who likes what more, its definetly interesting in the music forum seeing what music videos were popular and which ones were a waste of time to post lol. but overall, their their, they don't bother me one way or the other.
