Reputations - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Alright, I checked out Nilps last post and all of a sudden he had me thinking I was about to reply to the "battle of the dorks" post. Nilp, you really have some skill in getting people confused, even outside the WW games.

Now, I'm not sure if this has been actually asked before, but how do you guys (and gals) assign reps? Do you wait for that really insightful or extremely funny piece of writing or are you a little more liberal with the kudos?

Personally, I try to rep everything I think good enough... I don't hold back too much with the reps (after all, that's what they are there for... and it makes me happy to get a rep, so why not make others happy as well?) and I specially try to rep people in the RPG forums. I think it's harder to get reps in there and some people *ahem Undome ahem* don't post much elsewhere yet are excelent writers and deserve the aknowledgement. Also, bringing up interesting (even if not completely accurate) ideas in a discussion is rep-worthy. One of the things I like the most over here is that people really have smarts... many know LOTS about Tolkien and Literature in general and the discussions sometimes are far too complex for me to really chip in but even those who are not as scholarly have some brains.
