    I'm not talking about what should be posted here, but you're certainly not going to make your posts about "reputation" look any better by calling CCC, cricket and other posts as nonsensical crap. To me, these points, and posts about the points are pretty much nonsensical crap as well. But people who seem to get enormous joy out of their online points should continue to talk about it, and I'll have no problems. Most importantly, if this was someone else, I wouldn't have bothered to comment. But when you post about silly things like points (silly in my opinion), it's just alarming. :)

    I wasn't even aware there were points. I use CodeProject for the code after all not the points I guess :)

        1. You must also not have noticed that I was targeting my post at Christian and his ungodly number of reputation points (and I don't think anyone's gonna catch him for the next five or six years). 1) I find it funny that the 1-voting f*ck-tards think that their votes on this thread are going to change anything regarding my status. It's an exercise in futility. 2) At the same time, I'm kinda shocked that some of the f*ck-tards are reasonably high-rep users. Typically, we see this kind of puerility from noobs who have no sense of community or respect.

          Notice I didn't say anything about "points". I was talking about the color levels (platinum, gold, silver, et al) that have been in place since Codeproject was new.

            If you go by the various reputation category colors, I'm the highest rated user here (six platinum, one silver). Take THAT Graus! :)

            Give it up, you are still only at about 640mGraus and he's taking a break. Chin up though you are at 0.96Barbers.

              Catch whom on what? I don't mean any offense to anyone, but just by posting a LOT of junk on a daily basis, I can overtake anyone's overall reputation here. Isn't that the way these points and levels work?

              Well, there you go again talking about your "status". I can't talk for those who 1-voted though, but you abusing them won't change their status either. :~

              Since when did you start worrying about votes, and what has 1 voting a post that you don't like have to do with sense of community or respect? :confused: But I see that the votes are really heavy - my vote didn't move it anywhere up! I see that in your other post you defend saying that you didn't talk about points, but are talking about levels or whatever. They're all the same stuff (to me at least).

                Since when are CodeProject-related topics verbotten in the Lounge. Have we finally come to that? I don't really give a flyin' f*ck what you (or anyone else) think about me talking about points. I'm just replying to your messages with further observations, and contextual thoughts and ideas. In the civilized world, we call this a "conversation". Google it if you need to. And yeah, in case you haven't already figured it out, you're pissin' me off.

                        Good job, especially considering that most of the colors are “painted” with contribution to CP (articles, answers etc.). Are you considering making a t-shirt with the reputation squares and the labels? It could look cool. About catching up with Christian, you’re a little delusional there. :-D

                          Isn't that what the lounge is for? So why get on someone for posting about points? How's it any different than the weekly Friday Post or Dalek's frequent drunken rambling posts?

                            Nice... Why did you posted those 15 questions ? Now you have set a target for yourself to archive Platinum there also, and the bad thing is someone has to answer your questions... (anybody here wanted Platinum in Authority? we have a deal here) :)

                              I did not "get on" him (whatever that means) for posting about points, I just said that I felt weird about someone as tough a guy as him being (or at least as I thought he was) concerned about some online points. That's all. I also didn't know this was going to become a lengthy conversation either.

                                  Admittedly, the first half dozen of the questions in my list were used by CP admins to test the Q/A feature.

                                    Good job, especially considering that most of the colors are “painted” with contribution to CP (articles, answers etc.). Are you considering making a t-shirt with the reputation squares and the labels? It could look cool. About catching up with Christian, you’re a little delusional there. :-D

                                    Yeah - just squares in the appropriate color with the "Suck it, GRAUS!" in big white letters under the squares. If I wanted to really mess with people, I could change the text to "Suck it, Christian!", and let people wonder if it has some sort of hidden religulous meaning.

                                      Unfair comparison - I think 100% of my posts are more readable than Dave's messa-drunk-ages. :)

                                        If you go by the various reputation category colors, I'm the highest rated user here (six platinum, one silver). Take THAT Graus! :)

                                        Hey, not fair. You should at least have mentioned that you are the 2nd person to get to 6 platinum statuses, and then mention who the first person is! :rolleyes:
