Rank How Important Rep Is
 

Re: Rank How Important Rep Is
 

Encouraging comments are what I appreciate the most, but rep really helps me gain motivation to write more reviews (which is why it sucks when I get none at all).

So... 4.

I love it – and it's the only site I've ever been part of that uses that feature.

Re: Rank How Important Rep Is
 

I know a lot of people don't care for it, but I like it. It's unique to this site. I will say though, that back when there was negative rep....boy....people were really petty back then.

Re: Rank How Important Rep Is
 

"Back then"?

;)

It's not important for me to get it, but it's important for me to give it. I like people to know that someone is paying attention, especially when I don't have time to comment.

Quoted for truth.

It's nice to get it, but I'm not discouraged if I don't.

Re: Rank How Important Rep Is
 

I voted not because I think it's unimportant but out of sheer resentment at the idea that I ever considered it important enough to keep trying to earn it and now can't break the habit.

Re: Rank How Important Rep Is
 

Validate me.

Re: Rank How Important Rep Is
 

I can take it or leave it.
I do prefer to leave it though.

I watch the Oscars and help children in need.

It's a from me.

Re: Rank How Important Rep Is
 

I hope this post gets rep. C'mon peeps!!!!

Re: Rank How Important Rep Is
 

It's not that important to me. It let's me know if ppl notice what I post. But not necessary. I will quote it post comment if I feel the need to discuss but I'm ****ty about repping. My mentions are off and have been for a while so I have no clue if someone is talking to me.

Re: Rank How Important Rep Is
 

I want to vote :p


Like Movie Gal, me getting reps is just so I know when people have seen something.
It is nice though when people rep something of mine because they like it rather than just a notification of seeing it.

Re: Rank How Important Rep Is
 

I was thinking about making a thread about reps in general.. For example, do you rep only if you like the movie, or do you rep because of the effort to watch something.. What do you do if someone has multiple movies, and you love half, and hate the other half? Those are the ones I don't rep because I want to be accurate.

Re: Rank How Important Rep Is
 

Simple - don't.

I like the rep system...much more for giving reps to others, than for receiving them. Though, it's good to get reps too. It's like getting a smile from someone and that's always nice:)


I like to rep people to let them know different things such as:

• I read your post and I agree
• Wow that's a bummer my heart goes out to you
• I love that movie too
• I'm disagreeing with your viewpoint, but like you
• Thanks for the help in a previous post

To me giving a rep is liking being kind to another person. It's a pity some think of reps as a negative thing, they're not.

Re: Rank How Important Rep Is
 

I only ever post here for rep.

That was just asking for a rep Minio ;).

Who the fck gives a sht aboyt meanungless intermet pounts

I'm kind of rep happy sometimes and mostly give reps to show affection, agreement, support, or even just as a hey, I see you.../read your thing.... The receiver usually knows which of all those it is. I tend to not rep people who seem to hold their own like captive princesses in towers, though. It's like anything in life - :lol: Give and ye shall receive.

Now there’s a simile. :p

Re: Rank How Important Rep Is
 

Everyone. I don't know if you've ever heard of Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, but they're sorta popular.

Amen to all that:) and I repped it too:p

Re: Rank How Important Rep Is
 

Also, one needs to take into account that a rep can give someone who's having a rough day but hasn't mentioned it a smile. Sometimes it's the small, seemingly insignificant things we do that keep one anothers' spirits up that makes the difference for that day.

I don't really think reps should be put under the microscope...they're a really social thing. There's often warmth behind a rep. It's only cold when it's the hardcore political talk (unless the user made a great joke and people are repping that, which, really, can be irresistable). At least that's what I've noticed.

...and you received. :blush:

I will also say that I noticed in shout that a few members are sad their review threads aren't being given attention. I am the type to most probably rep as I go so you know I read your review. I may not always agree with what was said in the review, but my rep then goes to ASDHJASDH YAAAS YOU WATCHED THAT MOVIE!!!! and if I have anything more to say/question, I'll ask.

I did make a note to myself to try and read more review threads. I'll be honest and say that I look to people like @Captain Spaulding first because his "speak" gets to me instantly, I get visuals from what he types. I also notice Matti because he's from here, and I will support the Swede! Except if he starts telling me how GREAT Bruce Springsteen is.

Then I'll pretty much have this face and R-U-N-N-O-F-T.

I should break out of my little "speak" bubble, as it were. I sometimes feel like I'm so...on the outskirts that only maybe 5 MoFos would really get my taste and me theirs.

Anyway...so the individual review threads I'll pay more attention to from now on. The reps on those will be weither OMDAHSMDGJ YOU SAW THAT MOVIE or YEP, PRETTY MUCH MY THOUGHTS.

Re: Rank How Important Rep Is
 

If you get enough rep, you win a new car!

Funny you say that.... this message will make sense when my next thread appears.

Wish there was a option, because I'm pretty indifferent towards it.

AND REP for profile pic change + user title....

If only life were that simple.

You leave our Bruce out of this. :p

Well, in a way...



Are you sure you're not a Swedish man?

What?!?!

I was chained up in the f*cking basement held captive!

Re: Rank How Important Rep Is
 

See, that got you a rep. Because you MADE A JOKE and ypu kinda hate comedy. GOTCHAAAAA! :p

Re: Rank How Important Rep Is
 

I know you can see how many rep points you have in total, is there a way to figure out how many you've given other people???
@Yoda

Are you....asking for a friend?

Re: Rank How Important Rep Is
 

This little kitten I posted this week is upset because his photo didn’t get one single rep. :p

Re: Rank How Important Rep Is
 

Close. A British woman.

SO TRUE. OMFG the repression here is staright up British at times. But for some reason, all Swedish males connect with Brice Springsteen because he had problems communicating with his father. And that's a Swedish thing...you know like Pink Floyd said in one of their lyrics "hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way". It's kind of the same for Swedish males. Except they take it ALL from Bruce Springsteen. I can't even explain why. I can only tell you I have a friend who wrote a dissertation about Brice Springsteen and the role his father had in his lyrics...

:eek:

I just like to grind, man...

Yes, with the caveat that any time you guys say "is there a way" or "is it possible" the answer is almost always yes because that's super broad. :D

There is not currently, however, a page everyone can just go to to see this number. But I've been meaning to expand the rep stats system for a long time now, and that might be a good addition...

Re: Rank How Important Rep Is
 

I was being sardonic. I can’t imagine any similarities between a Swedish man & a British woman. We don’t even speak the same language.

You think British people are repressed?

Re: Rank How Important Rep Is
 

Yes. Even Swedish people recognise they're repressed like the British. You only see the REAL Swedes when they're drunk and it's a såorting event, or it's pay day weekend... THEN you see the Viking OMFG TAKE COVER Swede.

Unless it is for a competition ;).

Quoted for truth!

I remember the great flame wars of yore! :laugh: :devil:

I love the rep system and don’t ever want to see it go, but I would like to see it built upon, too. But I honestly can’t think of anything that is *needed* to make it better. So I voted

lol @cat_sidhe

You must have never read this

https://www.movieforums.com/communit...03#post1397303

don't get me wrong.. I love MovieMeditations to death.. yes damn it!! to death.....

Him, Neiba, Mr Minio and several others are close friends and I care a hell of a lot about them...

feel free to read a couple of pages into it.. you can tell who luvs me..

Re: Rank How Important Rep Is
 

It depends on a thread.

I like it on musical threads because you not only get a feel of someone liking your music or songs, but also liking a specific genre. It just feels more specific. I sort of keep an eye on a few people to see what else they post musically speaking because I just like their taste.

Political threads are a different story. I feel it is a lot more tribal and I like it less than anywhere else. You get a feel like it's the same people repping the same other people like one giant virtual circle jerk. If that is your thing, you go ahead. It certainly is not mine. Don't like the gang mentality of it.

The thing I really dislike the most is when people complain about a person with opposing views being repped. I mean, your ego can't be THAT fragile can it?

I like seeing at least a few reps on some of my posts just so that I know that I'm not just talking to myself sometimes, but I have no interest in having that "one big post" that gets the most rep for a single post. I just like to know that I'm not wasting my time posting to nobody.

Having said that, I love to give rep. I think it's important to let people know that other people are paying attention to them, and that we like what you have to say and/or agree with it. I especially like repping the fun posts with pictures that highlight whatever the poster is trying to say.


For movie reviews, I usually rep the post if I agree with the review or the rating, but sometimes I'll rep a post about a movie that I haven't seen yet if the review made the movie sound good enough for me to add it to my watchlist.

If there are several movies reviewed in one post, I usually rep it if I agree with at least one of the reviews, as long as I don't disagree with more than one review.

I don't know if it's an ego thing so much as the idea of seeing someone express an especially disagreeable opinion and then thinking "geez, can't believe so many people are agreeing with that". There's a difference between a person saying "Blade Runner isn't that good" and "antifa and neo-Nazis are just as bad as each other".

Re: Rank How Important Rep Is
 

I've upvoted posts that made me laugh despite having views on movies/politics/whatever I disagree with. Most of them were from SC I reckon.

Re: Rank How Important Rep Is
 

I barely give out rep no matter what.

Yeah, that's why I have a shrine dedicated to the few times you've given me rep. All screenshots, pinned on a bright wall and in mint condition.

Re: Rank How Important Rep Is
 

That is the saddest non-Nostromo post I've ever seen on this website.

Thanks Iro. :p

I will often rep somebody I am debating in a political thread even if I completely disagree with their post. It's out of respect if they are at least being thoughtful and fair. For instance, I wouldn't rep someone who randomly showed up to post nothing more than a facepalm even though they didn't understand the conversation;)

That's one of the best uses of reps....Without reps, MoFo might be a more negative site.

Re: Rank How Important Rep Is
 

If that's one of the best uses of rep, then it seems I was right to question its usefulness.

For letting people know that I've read their big-ass posts and they didn't waste their time.

Re: Rank How Important Rep Is
 

:facepalm:

Re: Rank How Important Rep Is
 

Would rather not drag a political debate into this thread. Fine to continue, but if so I'll have to move the posts, so just a heads-up there.

You all better be facepalming right now because I have no idea what this original facepalming event has to do with anything. Can we all just side eye one another and put this to rest?

See, I repped that post, because I agree:)

Re: Rank How Important Rep Is
 

Just noticed I can't check who voted for what.

Re: Rank How Important Rep Is
 

That's a good point actually. Sometimes you just want to let people know you read their post so they don't feel like they wasted their time if there are no replies.

Re: Rank How Important Rep Is
 

Now that gets the rare and coveted Iro Rep™.
