Can someone explain the new stuff in the right hand corner of the posts?

It says something like Rep power, has a green light saying something about off the scale and reputation points. What is this??

Thanks

O.K. Now I have 16 points and my reputation posts are

Thanks for starting this thread and

You are so smart

Then Donali just put that I am well respected and important here!!!!!!

I knew she had a special place in my heart!!

I have a positive reputation with this post!!!

You can't see who posts what unless they put their name..scary huh.!!

You are so smart...twas me

Thanks Vera!!! Unless of course that was sarcasam.....

I was going to bump your rep, too, Vera, but I ran out of "reps" for this 24 hour period... lol

Tomorrow!!

xxoo

hmmm, lets see what mine is???

Okay, I am imagining Alex B. in a dark office somewhere with papers stacked around him sitting at the computer wringing his hands and laughing maniacally at our posts, wondering when we will figure this out. Hahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!! Isn't this creepy fun?!

Now I have 13 reputation points and my reputation on this post is Even...wha??? Does that mean I have an even number of agrees and disagrees? Hey! Who diasagrees with me! I am so intrigued, I can't wait to find out what's up so I can start ignoring it. Ha!

Hey Kyleigh, did you get what I wrote in your comment?

The big red "Y" means that person has Yahoo Instant Message. If you click on the "Y" you can send them an instant message if you also have it. Mine shows a little yellow running person, which means I have AIM Instant Message. Just click on the yellow man to talk with me.

I'm a Libra, so I like the scales in the top right corner, but everyone has scales. Are we all Libras? Odd.

Hey kathy, I got it!

Cool, okay Donali wrote a comment and I got it (thank you!) and my rep went up to 14 and now, instead of "Even", I am "Somewhat Positive". This is so crazy fun.

OK I am so lost. What comments are you guys talking about? Where do you see them and how do I post a comment? For a moderator I know NOTHING HUH?!!!!

Penni, look at your User CP, bottom of the page.

oh my god - I'm completely confused! I dunno WHAT'S going on - so I'm posting to keep up and find out more!

Thanks Vera found the comments. Too bizarre. Wonder what this will accomplish, other than some fun competition between some of our egos. OR should I say alter egos. LOL!!!

This is an excessively weird little parlor game, I must say. You've probably discovered by now that if someone has left a comment while upping your "rep" you can see that comment by clicking on the scales in the post on which they left a comment. Otherwise what pops up is your total Reputation Points.

I never have the time or patience for this sort of thing, I'm sorry to say. It's hard enough to get here to read new posts as much as I'd like to! But I"m glad to see everyone is having fun! Rep away, but be careful where you spread that rep. Safe repping, that's our mantra!!
