rep points don't count until the person giving them has more than 20 themself.

is there like a prize for whoever has the most rep points at the end of each year? i guess matra would have to be excluded, cuz he would win, every, single, time. i guess what im really asking is why people care about the rep points

[Spastik_Roach]

Egg Nog actually has more points than Matra

The truth is some do, some don't.
I see a lot of newer folks asking how to get rep etc etc
None of us with high rep ( I think ) have gone out to get rep points.
We just are car nuts and post stuff that we know.
That's the kind of advice I give on anyone asking about rep, just post stuff you think is interesting or fun and the rep will come
I do find it a simple guide to the interest and it may affect my postings. eg. the badges quiz doesn't attract rep points, seems to attract lots of views though so I don't mind continuing it. Folks must be finding it intersting to come back but it's not my best. That's OK. If the number of views dropped AND no rep then I'd consider stopping it as it's clearly become boring.

The vid is an almost guaranteed trap for rep points I guess on a few angles. -- I think it's a great video of a great driver ( driving a great car )
- It's a REAL car, driven to the track that day ( and home again )
- Professional racing driver talking through the lap
and also ....
- Means I don't need to take the egg-nog test
- I can cut a DVD for use at Knockhill this weekend ( original motive )

I'd be crazy to think that every post can be of that quality or interest ( especially if mate gerts bounced by his ISP for too much traffic )
There's no prize at the end of the year for rep points so they're really only a bit of fun.

I used to have 999 rep points, but a glitch in the system reserted me back to where I am.

Tell me about it. Once a glitch gave me 1,000,000 rep. points. But then one of the admins brought me back down.

Well I felt terrible that I got more than the one asked for.
Seemed like a bit of fun but it catapulted me into the "lead". SORRY !!!!
