shameful things you do to get rep

[ContrarianLemming]

oh c'mon, all of us have had that little gellful smile when we see that our explicitly sectarian post has began a forum wide circle jerk and all you can do is admire the amount of thank-you's your one liner has received.

So
I often try to be the first to reply to a thread in the learning section with a witty short reply, a quick cash in really. anything to long will mean only those actually serious about the subject at hand will read it, and the serious sorts are gonna be critical
examples: AK cashing in (http://www.revleft.com/vb/lenin-monsteri-t142624/index.html)
(http://www.revleft.com/vb/lenin-monsteri-t142624/index.html)Muzk cashing in (http://www.revleft.com/vb/stalin-t142480/index.html)
lots of cashing in here (http://www.revleft.com/vb/merged-anarchism-and-t141946/index.html)
Omnia cashing in (http://www.revleft.com/vb/religion-after-revolution-t141811/index.html)


A not so shameful but equally cashy way to get rep would be posting an inspiring news story (http://www.revleft.com/vb/colombia-rebel-groups-t124892/index.html)

share!

[meow]

i sleep with people. oh wait. shameful :lol:.

[AK]

I generally just make the most of threads that I see as nothing other than troll-bait. Leninists vs. Anarchists thread #564649654? There's rep to be accumulated.

[Jimmie Higgins]

I washed Raul Duke's car one a week for three months.

I have to admit, that post did not deserve all that rep.

I also once got like 30 rep points for a stupid one liner about Bob Avakian. Bob Avakian topics are rep goldmines, especially if you're armed with a snide comment or two.

[EvilRedGuy]

How much is rep of value here compared to many other forums?

[bcbm]

i post on revleft

[Quail]

I don't really do anything shameful, because I'm not funny enough to post witty one-liners.

[Saorsa]

There is no such thing as stooping too low to get rep

[revolution inaction]

i don't make posts in order to get rep

[Jazzratt]

xx1994xx's mum.

[Bilan]

I say brilliant things.

[Widerstand]

I wittily flame and mock Leninists.

:|

Oh yeah maybe not so shameful.

[Il Medico]

I say brilliant things.
Bout the same for me, I'm afraid.

[fa2991]

Short, sarcastic posts = guaranteed rep.

Goddamit, I wanted her.

[Pavlov's House Party]

you gotta post some short witty comment within the first 10 posts, otherwise no one will read it. also, posting a news article that panders to a specific tendancy will result in many thank yous.

im just here for the rep:D

That picture again. lol

[Raúl Duke]

lol
to be honest, I do things on this site to get rep.
If not, I'm in chit-chat.

[Magón]

Just like the Arms Race and Space Race before it, now comes the time for the Rep Race! (Though we're gonna need to find a catchier, more slick sounding name, because Rep and Reputation spelt out fully with Race on the end don't sound so cool... any suggestions? :lol: )

[Kuppo Shakur]

What's with all the one-liners in this thread?
Take them elsewhere, there's no rep to be had in chit chat.

[maskerade]

i sometimes agree with the vegan marxist

[the last donut of the night]

it's all about the timing and snarkiness

[Rusty Shackleford]

all my posts are the result of pre-emptive reps.

i know when im going to get repped when i post.

i only purposely post posts that arent good so you all dont think im up to something.

I do this too!!!!!

[Tablo]

Look at every post of mine that has any rep at all.

[Red Commissar]

I don't really care. I used to get excited when I saw reputations received on other sites, but I think I get more of a joy now by bugging people who take things too seriously.

[Apoi_Viitor]

I make incredibly sectarian posts just for the sake of being incredibly sectarian.

I wish I could rep you for this.

[synthesis]

Am I the only one who actually enjoys getting a red point? It's a lot more entertaining.

[Os Cangaceiros]

i sometimes agree with the vegan marxist

ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner

[Rusty Shackleford]

i pander to anarchists while at the same time act like a tankie in DPRK threads.


i bathe in rep.

Newbie! Your rep doesn't exceed your post count!

[Sam_b]

People who care about rep are people not worth caring about.

I care about you anyway :)

like i said, i purposefully make bad posts so it isnt obvious that im really good at getting rep.

[Widerstand]

I think you're lying. I think you say you purposefully make bad posts but you really are just too impulsive to hold back. I think it's the same with me.

Im a leninist, everything i do is calculated.

[Widerstand]

fixed.

[Rusty Shackleford]

im an anarchist and i dont like leninists.
fixed.

[Widerstand]

fixed.

:'( But mate, I love Leninists!

As long as they don't own guns.

[Rusty Shackleford]

leninists dont own guns, they just have massive armories for the red army. no one actually owns them :lol:

what a bourgeois concept.

[Widerstand]

what a bourgeois concept.

suits you right!

[Rusty Shackleford]

[La Comédie Noire]

Circle jerks are the closest the left is ever going to get to a united front.

I also think "Circle Jerk" is a highly patriarchal term and should be changed to something more gender neutral like a masturbation oval.

[Wanted Man]

Generalisations about Trotskyists are best, because those seem to be recognisable to anarchists as well as everyone else. That must mean they're true.

[gorillafuck]

I don't really post to get rep.

[Lyev]

Something along the lines of "Stalin was an authoritarian, anti-democracy, class-collaborationist dickhead" usually does the trick, however, if I make a silly post I feel compelled to follow it up with "But in all seriousness..." so it doesn't look like I'm just trollin'.

[L.A.P.]

xx1994xx's mum.
I feel so important.:D

[La Comédie Noire]

Refusing the crown eh?

[Il Medico]

I would like to point to the fact that all my recent rep (like the last two days) have been from witty one liners like this:

I don't really explore many parts of this forum (I just occasionally hang out in Philosophy), but here's my theory:

1.) Post a Left catch-phrase in response to someone not entirely clued in on Left speak, don't elaborate more than a paragraph.
2.) Post sectarian; again, nothing more than a couple sentences.
3.) Call out an obviously f-ed up post with a snarky one-liner.
4.) Call out people's bs in general.
5.) You can post something long, but it's dangerous. Most people are "tl;dr," but perhaps if you really get into it with an f-ed up post and elaborate remorselessly on how f-ed up it is, you can get those delicious thank you morsels.

Here's how not to get lotsa rep:

1.) Post anything about the "theoretical aporias of the modern Left."
2.) Engage in a mature, substantive discussion with a friendly interlocutor.
3.) Challenge people's common sense. This includes Left common sense.

If you do the latter, pretty soon you'll be like me, with rep disabled to hide your shame. Once you disable rep though you do realize the joys of not having a reputation, which includes the following benefits: feds don't have you on their revleft internet monitoring list, you are invisible, a wraith, no one notices when you pee-pee yourself in a dark wet corner

Coming soon: "the mysteries of neg rep: get some!"

[Kuppo Shakur]

(tl;dr)
That's it, I'm going to neg rep the shit out of you.

Wait, why?:lol:

[Kuppo Shakur]

You're too civil. Someone needs to put you in your place.

[kalu]

Yeah, I've really been asking for it. Who the hell do I think I am, not mercilessly attacking people?

(thanks:lol:)

i post on revleft

Guilty as charged.

[EvilRedGuy]

Shameful things? Dont know if its shameful but could someone please rep me, now that we're in the mood and all. :D

[AK]

That's it, I'm going to neg rep the shit out of you.
Your rep power of two turns translates to a neg-rep power of one. Have fun.

Actually, this is a kind of newb question, but how do you neg rep someone, how does it work? (does it really lower their reputation? I thought only mods could do that...) It seems like a bad idea if people get into personal petty beefs.

1. Don't say newb, or noob, or n00b. The internet is bad enough as it is without you spreading the depravity.

2. The scales at the top of each post. click on it and choose 'disapprove' and leave a mean message that makes them cry.
