How the prestigiosity ratings became green!

<p>If you click on your own scale icon, it tells you how many point you have. You can also go to your account, and there it indicates which posts got “Rep,” and if there were comments on why.</p>

<p>I had a measly ten points last I checked.</p>

<p>Can’t be leading the efforts for more prestigiosity without two squares of reputation aka more than 100 reputation points. </p>

<p>Santa came early for the good members! :)</p>

<p>Where on our account do the comments/pointed posts show up? Not finding anything on my profile.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I gave you some points. :)</p>

<p>I love that we’ve all gotten sucked into the prestigiosity of the number of little green squares. Ohhhhhh something shiny!!!</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Me, too, mathmom!</p>

<p>Anyone else sad? Let us know and Green Stamps may be yours!</p>

<p>I wish I had known about the milliHarvard scale a few years ago. My daughter was at Y and someone commented, “oooooooh, that’s almost like going to H!” If I’d had this scale handy, I could have replied, “Yes, just a couple of milliHarvards short of a full Harvard. It still stings, but we’re getting over the disappointment.”</p>

<p>Apparently we can only give a +1 green stamp once per post and if you try to click on another post by the same person not long thereafter, it tells you that you can’t until you spread some points around elsewhere. If anyone nails the exact specifics, please let us know.</p>

<p>It says you will “become famous soon enough” whereas riverrunner is (and I am) “on a distinguished road” (someone had some fun with this…). I get that by hovering over your square…which is indeed shiny and new and GREEN :)</p>

<p>Woah! Up to 74 already! I’d better do my bit of reciprocation!</p>

<p>We have all become part of someone’s social media research project: “Little Green Squares: Meanings, Social Pressure Within Self Selecting Groups of Well Educated Persons, And Gamesmanship. How long will it take members of College Confidential to figure out a way to game the system?”</p>

<p>And, by the way, please vote for me. :)</p>

<p>Anyone who makes me lol gets a vote eastcoast :)</p>

<p>I want two green squares :(</p>

<p>** hey wait just a gosh darned minute. I have 78 points but only one green square. Its not easy being green…</p>

<p>I added to your personal prestigiousity rating jym, since you made me laugh too :)</p>

<p>mathmom, I think I got you to two squares! I was experimenting to see if I got to see your number. What good is reputation if no one else sees your number? It’s like getting a kid into Harvard and not getting a bumper sticker.</p>

<p>OOOH thank YOUUUUU OHmom-- I think you tipped me over into the 2 squares. I guess I am doubly square now!</p>

<p>Jym, that was me! You had one square, I wrote a comment, and then there were two. But where did my comment go?</p>

<p>Woot! yay Jym!</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>But we can see your SQUARES. That’s like a car window sticker. Or at least being able to tell friends at parties.</p>

<p>I am soooooo green with envy over you two squared folks.</p>

<p>Somebody please show me the love so I can raise my rep! :)</p>
