One of you here on this very thread "dinged" me negatively because I used the word "bingo". HUH? Should I have used the word "exactly" instead? 
But then, you were the only person who identified himself.

Bashed from 40 back down to 7 points

Yes, please.
In a few days away from the internet, I return to find that based solely on my last post to this thread ("12 to 40 points"), I've taken some huge hits.
Reinforcements, anyone?
What a great idea. Anyone want to join?

Green jewel threshholds
Thanks, Jon NYC. Your single word of approval added 11 points to my score, and brought me out of "danger."
I wonder how much ScottC's or Premex's approbation is worth? Reputation points, that is, not a bribe!
And does anyone know the point threshholds for the dreaded Gray Jewel (is there any level below that?), and for one, two, three, and four Green Jewels?

. Dinging for that is bad form. Over on the QF forum we see the "u" added all the time. So much so that it hardly gets noted any more.I have found that more than half the people who have given me a positive had been "the grey brigade" and hence no points

"Online status" light

Did you sign in and out quickly, or are you "invisible," or does that mean you're in a different forum? Or maybe you just went to sleep!
Canarsie, YGR! I'm a glutton for PUNishment.
I am "worth" 42 points at the moment

I could use a ding or two. I've gotten two bad dings off of one post from a few weeks ago. The bad part was that I didn't even think I was being confrontational.
Meanwhile, how do you find out who's got a bad reputation?

Thanks Scott
You da man. You helped me last year with my sister's laptop and now, dings. What more can I ask for?
