I had experience with rep point from posting over on
@Forums .
I really could take it or leave it.
Seriously.
Rep points are not going to affect the way I post or how I go about my business. I got most of my rep from Fantasy FIRST and it's nice (i'm not going to lie and say it's not) but I didn't do Fantasy FIRST to gain popularity. I did it because I thought it was a fun idea that no one else came up with so I took the initative.
Never base your posts on reputation, spotlights or fishing for compliments. Just say whats on your mind and you'll find you will not only gain greater respect in the ChiefDelphi community but you will feel greater respect for yourself as well.
