[Doc]

It appears you all know about rep points. One setting that is up to the forum Admin is how many rep points have to be spread around before you can give rep points to the same person again. That magic number is 6. So don't get discouraged if it keeps telling you to spread em around. That is how it works.

I could post more detail on rep points if anyone wants me to.

[joec]

Please do Doc since I haven't had a chance to read the FAQ.

Read Docs new thread.... http://www.netcookingtalk.com/forums/showthread.php?p=7295#post7295
it depends who is giving the points. If I have 2 green rep points that means Im giving more to someone that has just one rep point.

[joec]

Man I just read that thing four times and still don't know. Does it take a thousand points or 50. The explanation is fine on how to get them and give them but the green boxes are what each?

[VeraBlue]

pssst....buying...buying rep points over here. If that doesn't work I may have to start writing about my family again.

I haven't even begun to scratch the surface of the goings on here at 1313 Mockingbird lane...

And while we're talking reputation, what's the story on friends?

My head hurts after reading that Doc. :dizzy::sorry: I am too brain dead to even begin to contemplate those words. Suffice it to say, I keep trying to give points and the program won't let me. It says that I have given too many out.
Giving good reputation points is something I love to do.

I'm actually going to the city to meet with my brother and his wife today. He and I haven't seen eye to eye for about 15 years and have only spoken a few times during that time. When we did speak it was often extremely negative.
We're both trying to salvage some sort of relationship with each other. I think both of us have just wearied of trying to remember who said what and who cut the deepest, etc....

Marianne and Jim, on the other hand are living it up at home where it's a comfy 75 degrees. They mentioned coming back around easter. Now that I have Maxi in the house this may pose a problem. Seems Marianne is allergic to cats. One of them is going to have to be put up somewhere. I wonder how my mother will fare in a kennel?:yum:

[Deadly Sushi]

Anyone that signed up within a month get the two green bars yet? :lucky::lucky::lucky::lucky::lucky:

[Maverick2272]

Nope, not yet at least for me. Do with know yet how many Karma points it takes to get a second green bar?

[Calicolady]

Made ya look!!! Ha, ha!

Not me either.

[lilylove]

:yum::yum::yum:No but I think you can give six out a day... unless my math skill are even worse than I thought.... which is very very very possible!!!

[Deadly Sushi]

Ehhhh..... no. Doc might. I never looked before. This is something new for me too.:smile:

[joec]

Doc posted an explanation when I asked that will make your head hurt. I asked earlier in this thread about how many points it too per bar etc and have yet to get any answer to it.

[PieSusan]

It appears Jim Slagle has won--he has two green squares. Woo hoo! Congratulations, Jim!!!!!

[jim_slagle]

It appears Jim Slagle has won--he has two green squares. Woo hoo! Congratulations, Jim!!!!!

Nope, I can''t win, I'm not a new arrival. :tiphat:

I think it takes 100 points to get the second green block.

If you go to Members List and click on Reputation that will order the member list by points. Looks like Jeekinz is in the lead but I don't know exactly how many points he has.

[PieSusan]

Well, at least everyone knows you were the first to get there! Congrats for that.

OK Contest still on. I have always loved to give positive rep points aka karma. Not to thrilled about the negative karma. Wouldn't giving it return to you in the end?

[jim_slagle]

I keep being told that I have given out too many reputation points, sorry everyone.

:yum::yum::yum:No but I think you can give six out a day... unless my math skill are even worse than I thought.... which is very very very possible!!!

The 6 thing is to get you to spread the rep points around. If you give someone rep points, you have to give rep points to 5 other folks before you can give to the first person again. As far as I know you can give as many people in a day points as long as you follow the rotation.

The message Susan got is because she had already given that person points and hadn't given 5 other reps out.

Jim

[PieSusan]

Jim, are you sure? It seems that I can use up my rep points for a day.

[VeraBlue]

It's my belief that karma goes out and karma comes back. If you give out good vibes (for lack of a better word) you get good back...if you give out shit, you'll get it back, 3 fold.

That, by the way, is what earned me negative karma over at DC. To a poster who had received bad news, I said 'it comes around what goes around, and you put good out there. I'm sure you'll get good news, etc etc etc.

All hell broke loose because people believed I was saying she deserved what she was getting. What a bunch of bullshit, actually. If they'd bother to read the post instead of getting all bottlenecked at the first half they would have realised I was wishing her well. Bunch of nitwits....:sad:

[jim_slagle]

Jim, are you sure? It seems that I can use up my rep points for a day.

I think that's the way it is but we'll have to check with Doc for sure.

Nope... LOL... just barely over half way there.

Yep, it seems to be a slow process.
What brillance must I display to get some rep points from you people? :thumb:I won't resort to begging but I might be willing to bribe you with my baking. :yum::yum::yum::yum::yum::yum::yum::yum:

I'm not above begging.... LOL....

No, seriously, will beg for rep points....

Well ask Jim Slage for them points. The more you have yourself, the more you give!

Eventually, as I slowly repost all my recipes on this site, I shall post it here. Makosh is a rich Hungarian Pastry Roll and the one that I gave Barb when I met her had a homemade poppy seed filling. I have a poppy seed grinder that I bought at Sur La Table for cheap because only someone like me would want to make their own poppy seed filling. Grocery stores don't have dedicated grinders anymore let alone the fact that really fresh poppy seeds can be hard to come by unless you have a place like Penzeys or an ethnic market.

Yes, they're also known as potica, nut roll, etc. They're rolled like a pinwheel. My favorite is the poppy seed.

I just gave ya some... it won't let me give you more!!!


I gave you some too (did that sound dirty???)! But this whole spread it around to 6 people business makes it hard to karma the same people over and over again! :yum:

I've actually noticed that I've tried to karma some of the regular posters for great posts only to find I've been too lazy on my end and need to karma others first! Hey, I'm tryin'! :biggrin:

[lilylove]

lol! Yeah... We need new members so it's easier to spread the joy!

[Doc]

I'll lower the Karma spread for awhile. It's six now, I'll make it 3 until we get more active members. Hope that helps.
I'm sure it will help with TGM's new contest. :D

Oh crap, I just ran out!!! :yum::yum::yum::yum:

sorry guys, won't let me give you anymore right now.

Thanks for trying TG

[Keltin]

Looks like Sattie is in the lead right now.

[lilylove]

how can you tell how much karma another person has?

[TexasGirl]

how can you tell how much karma another person has?


you can't. you can only see how many green blocks they have.

[Miniman]

See post 40, you can tell who has go the most by ranking the members by reputation points in the members list. It doesn't tell you how many people have other than relative to others. So for example if I have 35 points, those above have more & the one at the top has the most.

[lilylove]

That's what I thought.....

[Keltin]

Click on Member List in the Options Bar. Once you pull up the Members List, click on Reputation to sort the members by their rep points. Hover your mouse cursor over the green block to see the text description of their karma.

[Doc]

Keep track of your green bars. Someone is going to win this one very soon. :D

[PieSusan]

Thanks for the hint, I hope she wins!!!!

[PieSusan]

Sattie, to officially win, you must post in this thread and claim your prize.

[sattie]

Ummmm... ok... Hello! I'm Sattie and I am told I won a prize? LOL!!!! I can't believe I beat out MAV, and I was not even trying!

The Contest starts NOW!!!!

Sattie, sorry, and I hate to be the bearer of bad news :hide: .... but according to Sushi's rules you were not one of the new members that joined within the last month of when Sushi posted this contest. Sorry, whoever thought you won must've missed that.

[Doc]

I know there has been some question about this contest, I never would have ran two consecutive contests, but Sushi did this one. Unfortunately, he cannot pay off as intended so I will take care of it. The winner will have the choice between a Net Cooking Talk decal, as shown in the site supporters thread, or $15 paid via paypal.

Watch your little green thing-a-ma-do's and when you have two post here. 1st new member with two green thingies to post here will WIN!

[Doc]

Congrats Mav. You were the 1st new member to get two greenies!!!!! :thumb: :D :applause: :tiphat:
Please PM me your address and I'll get a NCT decal on the way to you. :D

[Deadly Sushi]

I feel like CRAP folks. I got into a bit of financial trouble and I have to save every cent. :sorry: I feel like a HUUUUUUUGE jerk.

Therefore If Mav was the 1st to win the double greeny contest, then I shall make good on the original $10 Penzey thing if ya want. Again, Im REALLY sorry. :sad:

[Doc]

Sushi, didn't you read the posts? I'm taking care of Mav. The gift is already ordered. It's a $15 value. A www.NetCookingTalk.com decal. See pic at the bottom of this link: http://www.netcookingtalk.com/D1.html

We all go through hard times so we understand. Stash the 10 bucks for a rainy day. :thumb:

[Maverick2272]

Already taken care of DS, but thanks for the offer! Doc has me set up with a window sticker so I can brag about NCT around town (course, now I actually gotta drive like a sane person!)

Hang in there dude!
