Blobs

[littlesally]

Okay, so how do blobs work?
I know mine are worth zilch, but do they go up when people click me?
Do they go up with time, amount of posts.

When I click people, on it shows on mine as grey, is this because it's worthless in point scores? I think it is a little unfair that I can't give a couple of points to those who have helped me.

I remember asking this on another forum, but no-one with any knowledge could be bothered to answer.

I can't find any information about them.

Reading this back I sound a bit stroppy, but I am not.
Sorry if it's read that way,

lol I dont get them myself.... basically the more points you have the more points you give....the grey blobs do add up to something just take longer than green blobs take.

Thanks Ame.
Better find someone with loads that I can help! ........
Glad my clicks count for something.
Had lots of help and support and like to give something back.......

Also,
How many people do you need to click before you can click the same person again?

Sal,

I wouldn't worry too much about reputation points, I think its been well and truly proven in the past that having a laugh with a gang of mates can do far more for your reputation than any serious advice you may give on the threads .

The important thing is, by giving a rep, you have let someone know that you appreciate their help enough to say thank you, particularly here where you know who has given you rep.

The settings are dictated by the software but I think you cannot give rep to the same person consecutively.

lol

You're right Jan.
We have seen people with loads of blobs who are utter prats! ...

The cockeral man from the other site emmediately comes to mind!!! .....

I may black mine out, then no-one will know if I have loads or none!

Was curious more than anything.

Re: Blobs

Nicked this from OTR Shhhhhh don't tell!! .........

You receive ONE green blob for each 100 points of rep you receive up to 500 points.
After that it takes 200 points per light green blob up to 6.
So in the end you would have 5 dark green and 6 light green blobs for a total of 500 + 1200 = 1700 points.

You are awarded points when another member clicks you scales.
Now the formula behind the size of this award is very complex with a lot of variables, but members give varying amounts depending on post count, age of account and the number of greenies they have.

A Black square means that the member has diabled rep display.
They can still give and receive rep, but the greenies aren't displayed at all.

Hi

I've been trying to equate the above list over at PCF.

It seems that the Administrators of the Forums all set them differentl depending on their own requirements-so CAG/LB/PCF are not all same--see here

Click on VBulletin options at L/H blu side to open it up--then (also at blue side beneath above) click on User Reputation.

Re: Blobs

And if you get given Rep points (OTR) by the top bods they are super blobs and are worth more than rep points given by us plebs who really do want to say thank you.

If that makes sense?
