How the prestigiosity ratings became green!

<p>Question: I popped from 2 to 3 boxes tonight, but I can’t see more than 5 “reppers” and they are the same 5 that were there when I only had 2. What/who am I missing?</p>

<p>Oh my, just woke, turned on Morning Joe, and checked this thread. Pages have been added, and so many in the Olympian heights. Congrats to all of you!</p>

<p>So, has anyone checked the essay? I haven’t had time yet.</p>

<p>How nice, I have another greenies, and only 30 points from the next. Thank you all. Giving and receiving greenies is so much nicer than hazing.</p>

<p>For those of us who have been on cc since dinosaurs roamed the earth, we’ve frequently gotten requests from posters to read their essays. This is nothing new, and may or may not have anything to do with the green squares. They just hit a whole bunch of posters with PMs til the get someone to read their essay. Call me harsh, but I now ignore them and dont respond.</p>

<p>I am gonna see if I can bump you to the next greenie, bookworm. Hold on tight :)</p>

<p>**it let me rep you but not enough to get another square, yet…</p>

<p>my3gr8, I’ve got that same problem. Has anyone found a way to review the full rep history so we can properly thank our nocturnal supporters?</p>

<p>Just assume they are all from me :D</p>

<p>I usually help with essays if someone PMs me, but I never volunteer when they post a thread. Usually they are because I’ve posted on particular college threads. I actually enjoy it, but I wouldn’t want to be inundated. Most of them have been quite good - even some of the sports ones.</p>

<p>If I have no idea who a poster is, anything about them and suspect they are asking via PM many many people to read their essay (which often then becomes someone editing or possibly tweaking their essay for them which is perhaps not ok in some situations), I have now chosen to let them find someone else.</p>

<p>Is there an issue with proofreading and/or editing essays? Assume I know the difference between those two and “rewriting” (because if I don’t, then the answer doesn’t really matter). My biggest concern was that I’d end up with an irritated or despondent highschooler stalking me based on my response.</p>

<p>I have stated that I refuse to edit any essays for a school to which my S is applying.</p>

<p>"Just assume they are all from me "</p>

<p>It could very well be now that Jym has reached the nirvana status. Some people are worth their weight in gold these days!</p>

<p>Ok, since no one has raised the question so far, I will ask. How much do the greenies add to what one was worth without them?</p>

<p>I am enjoying being brutal to someone else’s kid critiquing their essays. :D</p>

<p>Good morning! I’m waiting for my 9:30 rep deposit from the overlords. :slight_smile: I lied (well not at the time…), this is addictive and I would not mind joining jym, LI, and whoever precedes me, at the final level. Going back to the video game analogy, I’ve never won a single one, gotten past amateur levels, and I can see the end if I don’t stall out! :)</p>

<p>So on to another day of happy repping. :)</p>

<p>C’mon up, blueiguana, the weather’s fine!! It won’t let me rep you yet. Gotta continue to spread the wealth.</p>

<p>texas,
I believe the power of the reps is a combination of yrs on cc, # of posts and # of greenies/reps. I too am wondering if the total # of reps one has over and above the maximum 11 boxes adds more value to the reps at 11 boxes. Dunno. Last I heard, someone told me my reps were worth 58 pts, but you folks have been kind enough to continue to add to my total rep count (now over 2450)- so I am wondering what my reps are worth now. Who wants to test it??</p>

<p>Jym - I think i just got it from you yesterday and so I may not be able to test.</p>

<p>Boy, I take a day off from CC & fall pages behind! Off to catch up & bestow some green tinsel. I just sprinkled eastcoastcrazy, now off to check my master list to see whose been naughty & nice. </p>

<p>Jym, I’ll gladly be your guinea pig for points :D.</p>

<p>Recharging…</p>

<p>for the moment I have 433 pts. and will be glad to provide # of pts feedback to whomever bumps me next! I owe bumps to just a couple folks from yesterday and if the OVERLORDS are gracious, once today’s freeze lifts I should have room on my list for a few recips.</p>

<p>It wont let me rep you again yet, niceday :(</p>

<p>12rm-
I can rep you. Please take note of your current points. Then let me know when you have and I will hit you</p>

<p>Good morning Mrs. jym 626… I will be happy to double check those points for you. Just send some right over. Have a wonderful day from Moreover(haskell)!</p>

<p>no worries, jym. I am frankly enjoying the fact that a click on my greenery this morning indicates ‘niceday is just really nice’.</p>

<p>Cant hit you yet either, moreover :(</p>

<p>me, me, me? (Hand raised eagerly)</p>
