Re: Reputations. Do they deserve more careful thought?

I like the idea of showing other people the latest reputations. Personally, I have had some harsh negative comments, which were made totally out of somebody being jealous or whatever. I just like to be a good sport and let go of such things, but I don't think everyone on this forum would have such patience(and they should not). I can see that if you do show the comments, some people will be forced to behave well so they don't get bad comments. Some people would be forced to rate well, so they don't get a bad reputation for rating out of jealousy or whatever. It is an excellent idea, and should work out well if you do put it.

Getting to the spelling, grammer issue. Yes, I personally do agree that people who intentionally or unintentionally, don't put in the effort to write the best quality they can in writing decently on the forum, should receive bad reputation. However, sometimes judging this might be hard. Some people just don't speak or write good english. A good example is my English. I agree that I don't speak or write that great English, but I do put in my best efforts in it. I feel that's what really matters. As long as a person puts in a good amount of effort, its good. Otherwise, being lazy, and doing things just for the "heck of it", it's just not right.

ChiefDelphi is a wonderful online community. Most of the people on this forum follow the idea of "Gracious Professionalism". Some don't, but those who do stand up as a good example for others to follow. Without CD, I don't think its possible, that I would have gotten as much out of FIRST as I have. Thank You CD. Special thanks to Brandon, who is always working hard to make this place better
