Out of curiosity, what kind of posts garner rep points? What type of posts do you give rep points for?
I am curious, because I seem to receive rep points more often when my posts are somewhat harsh and condescending. It isn't that I don't believe what I am saying, but rather when I write them in a less loving way, they get a more favorable response.These posts are generally done in response to another post that I find to be "jerkish"; however instead of trying to respond in a respectful way, I just reacted. Part of me absolutely regrets when I make this kind of post, yet these kind of posts get more validation than anything I have tried to contribute as insight in a thread.
So how do you use rep points? Because of who the post is written by, the sentiment of the post, or something else? Or is it that you also might be simply frustrated with the person who was targeted by a harsher post?
