Reputation?
I may be rather dense, but I can't see my tiny number of reputation points at all. I go to My FT and I see nothing. Only when I go to "edit options" do I find that I have 10 reputation points--but I have no idea how I got them or who gave them to me and what they might mean. It might be nice to be warned against errant traders, but Ozstamp's arguments seem more compelling.
That said, how do I find out my reputation other than going to edit options? Simply please and in detail! Thanks. |

As for how to see your reputation, there are two ways. (1) click on the scales of justice under your handle (2) log into "My FlyerTalk" and scroll to the bottom. The last 5 reputations you've been given are there. By the way, you won't be bling or ding til you reach 20. You can leave comments, however - and some of my most meaningful compliments have come from those who haven't been able to give me points. |

For instance, I notice Spiff gets "dings" because he's outspoken about the TSA and defending what he views as our Constitutional freedoms. At least he takes a stand that makes people think and let 'em know where he's at (OK, so some roll their eyes). Personally, I repect a person's willingness to take a stand and speak their mind whether I, in my infinite wisdom, agree or not. There's none of this concern about a popularity contest (which life ain't, boys and girls). Taking a stand on merit and a contrary opinion takes conviction, fortitude and guts (unless merely trolling)...as does voicing one's opinion, whether it's popular or not. Then there's the extra positive points for folks such as, say, missydarlin and ScottC. Well deserved, as we all know, for their selfless contributions of knowledge, valuable information and kindness on FT, but do we really need to "rate" them? These are already highly respected members of this community and will remain so long after any "ratings" disappear. IMHO, the potential for damage goes far beyond the good that these things do. FWIW, I'd like to see these little reputation point icons disappear. Anyone who's been around FT for awhile knows who's who and what their "reputations" are...there's really little need for these rating points. Personally, I don't need ratings to determine whether I like someone or want to read their posts; that is, I don't need my thinking and opinions formulated for me. These icons lend no credibility to the poster but indicate a level of hierarchy, smugness and political popularity, that, IMHO, is not the essence of what this place is all about. Or was before these silly little things appeared and caused such a stir. I am also in agreement with ozstamps and his thoughts. Thanks for your thoughts on this matter oz. Have I fallen into this reputation point addiction? Maybe, maybe not. I am quite certain I have developed a reputation On the FT board since I joined the community. I am certain that most of those opinions are well founded. Whether my reputation is good or bad is in the mind of others and something I will not lose sleep over (as long as I remain respectful and civil). I am also certain there are many FTers that don't know me from Adam (as part of the community, that is). I, for one, will not post a negative reputation point unless an attack of some nature is posted. I love debate and welcome different POVs. While it is fun preaching to the choir, this practice does not offer me a chance to learn from others.Thanks SEA_Tigger for reminding me why I first joined FlyerTalk. I appreciate FT and those that make up the community. There are many people that I value in terms of their knowledge, assistance or just friendship. Thank to all the FTers I have not mentioned as your interaction means a great deal to me. By-the-way oz, Natalie is going to kick butt at the Olympics. :p Thanks to tom911 for keeping us posted. ^ Best regards to all and thank you! Sam |
Any news on the switch being "flipped"? :confused:
|
Will this switch be automatic or an option we have to select?

I doubt it. The FAQ's also say last 10, so I assume that is where they will be leaving it. |
