What doe's REP power mean? in the upper right corner.Is it some kind of rating system?

I think I just figured it out. You can add to someones 'rep' if you want. Some people were getting upset with the advice they were getting from unknown bandsters. With 'rep' power, the trusted bandsters are easier to identify.

I had been wondering for the last hour...

I hate rep. It gets abused, and people who have unpopular (but at times correct) opinions will end up with bad rep.

Gday, Yeah I am with Chickie on this one. It is so high school really! Susannah

And you get good rep for that! LMAO

Hey, Are we gonna vote for Homecoming King and Queen next here on LBT?!!!!:biggrin1: I wanna be the Queen, and I will do whatever it takes. Susannah

Hey, I want to be the LBT Homecoming Queen and I want Jack to be my king!

Sorry Mrs Jack, but you don't mind sharing him do you?:biggrin1: Susannah

Dude. No way. I get to be Queen. DH says I act like a princess, so it's not a huge leap for me. I get to be Queen.

Cool....I didn't even realize I had a rep - at least not on LBT.

...says all the 3's, 4's, and 5's...

*sniff*winks*

<p>I'm only a 1, and don't really care one way or the other, but it does seem pretty teenager-ish. And I agree with Chickie.</p>

Here's the link to the other Rep thread I found in LBT suggestions:

I think there needs to be more info about it.

Okay, that's the last time I edit a post. Guess the code's still messed up.

I'm a 10! Whoo Hoo! I've wanted to say that FOREVER! Not with respect to LBT "reps", but who the hell cares.

I just wanted to throw my 2 cents.. the rep thing bothers me! I keep looking at mine and getting self-conscious.. It feels like a popularity contest thing. :think

I think it has a lot to do with how long you've been on the forum and how many times you've posted.
