<p>Ooh, that’s a witty one. <em>gives curm another point</em></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I don’t think I’ve ever LOL’d while using CC before :D<br>
<em>gives Philovitist a like</em></p>
<p>I have absolutely no reason to be chiming in on this forum, but nontheless, I shall… I too think the “reputation” bar is ridiculous… We can gleen a person’s reputation from his or her post count, and well… His or her actual reputation. =P </p>
<p>On another note, it’s a disgrace, Silverturtle only has one reputation block!=P</p>
<p>
See, plum. You can get pleasure from others. You don’t have to always rely on yourself. 
That’s big progress.</p>
<p>I hate to be a killjoy… I am sure folks will get annoyed by this… but here goes…</p>
<p>There are folks without jobs/unemployment has run out, starving children within our city limits, people sleeping on park benches + under highway overpasses, some folks without health insurance that have catastrophic illnesses, earthquake ravaged homes… does a little green square really matter? I mean seriously… in the grand scheme of life. Even my own for that matter… a great square is just that. A green square. I’m just saying…</p>
<p>Not annoyed at all. Just wondering why ya didn’t use that time ya spent posting rescuing a baby harp seal.or feeding one of those homeless folks. 
</p>
<p>And yeah. The green boxes tick me off. But so does fb, most rap music, the fist bump, reality TV, color blocking,… . .</p>
<p>curm,
Your cry for help has been heard and as far as I know, Admin is working on letting members (including moderators I hope!) opt out.</p>
<p>NHCTm,
That could be said of the vast majority of posts here on CC, heck, CC in it’s entirety! And truthfully I think the feature undermines the CC community and is a deterrent to honest, straightforward dialogue. It’s not really about a green square.</p>
<p>x-posted w/curm</p>
<p>[I’ve seen some color blocking that I like :o]</p>
<p>Thank you, thank you, thank you.</p>
<p>
You get it. ;)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>curm, I knew I liked your opinions before, but now I know I’m spot on with them. I resisted the urge to “like” your first post, but I definitely do like it. I’ll be on the lookout for the disable feature.</p>
<p>I’ve always been able to tell who to listen to based upon the content of their posts and how much it fit our situation. Now I know I was wrong all along and there should have been green squares to look at. After all, there’s no way a “new” poster could have a clue no matter what their life experience is or has been…</p>
<p>well curm i just respect you too much to ever “like” you LOL</p>
<p>I’m with Curm…I despise the whole idea. Unlike Curm, I am too lazy to do anything about it. My method of coping has been to just ignore it completely. Apathy is my middle name.</p>
<p>
I agree completely. I feel these little green squares, which someone decided to call “Reputation” are simply a popularity contest. If they really were designed to acknowledge a helpful poster, then we’d see which posts were helpful. But not even the poster who got a “Reputation” can figure out which post within a thread was particularly helpful.</p>
<p>Actually, you can click the link in your user control panel.</p>
<p>If so, that just happened. WooHoo!! I’ll go check.</p>
<p>Crap. Philo, the opt out option ain’t there. Yet.</p>
<p>I was talking about how you can see which posts have been deemed helpful.</p>
<p>
“I’m on a mission. From God.” @ Blues Brothers</p>
<p>How can we resist liking these posts, Curmy? ;)</p>
<p>It says I have 18 points but it lists only 1 post. Is that because i can’t see the older ones or is it because all my points are from one post? If it is all from one, that is sad because I know I have written way, way better posts than the one I see.</p>
<p>Curm should be the new wizard of OZ with SO MUCH green! His posts look like the Emerald City!</p>
<p>I need glasses just to read them there is so much glare from SO MUCH GREEN!!</p>
