wow, how much did you pay to get all your's? that's a huge investment just like anywhere else, sucking up is one the fastest and easiest way to get anything
Well, I can't talk since I've only got 1 bar still, but I'm just going about my business - had a few people try to rep me and it's come up grey, had some greens too. I don't post much except in buy / sell / trade though. I wouldn't worry too much, I hardly notice rep bars, it's iTrader I worry about the most.
Answer questions in threads like web design, SEO, and developer, there are lots of people giving reps in those said threads.
Dont make it your goal to get rep. You will get rep when people think you deserve it. People who cry about rep and make posts only to get rep arent helping anyone, they only want to look cool on the internet to make up for where they arent cool.
Don't be a dick or post stupid stuff in the P/R forums... Seriously, though, just spend a decent amount of time here, contribute where you can and contribute and the rep will come.
Everyone like to shorter their time to get success. I know that could get rep by trading, but is depend on technique. Am i right, senior DP?
I've been here 3 years, as of May. And prior to that on the DP mailing lists (pre forum days) since 98 or so... My goal was never to gain rep. Hell, we never had rep in those mailing list days, just good conversation and helpful people!
Damnit Mike, I think I have spit up more beer laughing at your posts than any other time in my life. You are one of the key reasons this place is so damn enjoyable and addicting!
I agree, this will be the best start for you! Also , make as many posts as you can as fast as you can, even if they are not so relevant to the thread.. Bonus, Start The following thread topics: 1) "YAY...Its My birthday today!" Happy Un Birthday 2) "This is my 100th post, followed by my 200th, 3ooth, and so on, pretty much every 100 posts..see for example:--->>>100 Posts On Dp 3) Join rep gangs see this post -->> Join The Rep list 4) Make silly threads like this -->> My Post Count is x.xx 5) Make "I am leaving dp forever" --->>> The Famous Rectangleman 6) Call someone an asshole---->>> Your a fucking asshole If those don't work , let me know, I can give you more examples...
To get more reps, make more posts and make sure that their of good quality. I have one thread that gained me like more than 500 rep points. --Joe
