How the prestigiosity ratings became green!

<p>

</p>

<p>One for you, too, coolweather, but not because we want you to leave. Really. An interesting strategy for getting points fast, however. ;)</p>

<p>And one for my geographic neighbor Pizzagirl who was uncharacteristically absent when I had points to give the first time around. Mostly I’ve been trying to help the lagging one-star regulars too proud to haggle. I did a lot of Third World traveling, so good-natured haggling is more or less on auto-pilot for me these days.</p>

<p>Contributions gratefully accepted (hint, hint, jym626).</p>

<p>Has anyone yet figured out how many recommendation one is allowed to give out in 24 hours? And how many different posters we need to recommend before we can revisit someone who previously received our recommendation?</p>

<p>I also wonder how many “clicks” you can get in one day. My number of points has remained static since this morning–although that could also mean that nobody has given me any more points since then. But I suspect that you can only give out reputation to so many people in 24 hours, and you may only be able to receive reputation from so many people in 24 hours–and if, as we suspect, some people can give you more points than others, getting points from some people could slow you down!</p>

<p>Thanks LoremIpsum unfortunately I was slacking off on my CC position for a couple of hours so I got your points and one more on the “thanks” thread. Both together were 15 points so not exactly clear yet. Sorry, but it never occurred to me that I would get anymore points today!</p>

<p>Hey, at least this thread is on the Parents Forum, not the Cafe, so our posts count in our totals! :D</p>

<p>Why should we care about our post totals? I basically only post in the Cafe. Is that bad?</p>

<p>Counting down and sew happy, I am happy to show you both some love.</p>

<p>Sewhappy, I am mostly in the Cafe these days, too. </p>

<p>Feels like this whole thing is going to degenerate into a Sally Field moment – “They like me, they really like me!” Yuckadoodles, as my dear friend mythmom says!</p>

<p>^^no kidding. I went to work today…remember that concept…office, computer…people…phones…no time for CC…went to bed last night and look what you all did! Shining beacons all :-)</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Could one of you post how many points that was worth? Bookworm has an unusual combination: a relatively low number of posts for the account’s age. I’m curious as to what has higher value in the algorithm – account age or number of posts?</p>

<p>Of course, Bookworm, you could just click on my scale and save everyone else some time. ;)</p>

<p>Does anyone know how many points a scale-click from jym626 is worth? I’m guessing between 38 and 42, from what I can figure out so far.</p>

<p>How do you figure that out, LoremIpsum??</p>

<p>Feel free to show me the love- I am only a few points form the next level above “beacon of light”…</p>

<p>I am beginning to channel Sally Fields :D</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Extrapolating from other members. Might I persuade you to give us the exact number, so I can attempt to isolate the value of posts vs. account age? Yes, I will share when I figure it out. :)</p>

<p>You are second on my “love list” as soon as they become available to me. They seem to pop up one by one exactly 24 hours after I used my last one up. Why is your last box light green? Do you have to go to dark green before earning another at your level?</p>

<p>I have absolutely no idea how big my love votes are. I cant figure out how to discern that.</p>

<p>jym–“Approve” my post and I’ll tell you how much your love votes are.</p>

<p>Your wish is my command… Done!</p>

<p>So what am I worth??</p>

<p>OOh, did you already have 2 greenies or did my love do that?</p>

<p>Your approval is worth 43 points jym.</p>

<p>Whoa. I’ll try to not let that go to my head.
BWAHAHAHAHA…</p>

<p>Wait a minute collegealum314- I tried that with jym many hours ago! She told me she is out of rep points… so sorry and get in line. (I hope that is funny and not mean.) Also LI,some one posted that you get 10 opportunities to spread it each day which I am trying to confirm.
(cross posted)</p>

<p>Hey jym, I heard a rumor that you get bonus points sometimes…guess that why collegeallum skipped ahead.</p>

<p>I thought you were out of greenies today jym…I was gonna beg tomorrow when you were powered up again.</p>
