Purple bling. WTF?

[McDuck]

Hay i have gotten a few purple blings form people, what do they mean? They do not seem to count towards the final count so WTF?

[98tls]

Generally means there convicted child molesters so there bling doesnt count.

They're like a temperature gauge for the Ozone layer... watch it carefully as it changes colour; you'll soon realise the significance of banning hair sprays and 30 year old refrigerators.

Congratulations

That's about it. Their bling doesn't count and it is statistically probable that some of them are convicted child molesters...however this is because it is bling from people who have not received any green bling themselves and do not have enough posts to add any weight to their bling.

So is there any way to tell if it is ment to be green or red?

Thought it was grey? Unless 's been playing round again.

The comment that came with it perhaps otherwise, do you really care?

[Toaster]

Purple bling? I think you can buy a cream for that.

[McJim]

I think it's blue but it can depend on your monitor settings - monitors rarely show the true coulour unless they have been professionally calibrated.

It will appear grey to some purple to others and blue to Scotsmen.

I have attached a shot of my recent bling so you can see the differences between green, red and neutral bling.

Some bastard DELETED one my my posts - apparently it was 'irrelevant'

I thought it was funny, but then I do ride a Honda.

Feel free to give me greenies. Greenies are good.

[EJK]

i'm sure it plays havoc with your daily chores and the running of the country....!!


:blink:

[McDuck]

So will it 'grow' into a red or a green bling?

[gijoe1313]

And the magic word today is colour! Just remember kiddies, not to take the red pill, don't follow the rabbit down the hole and just say no to drugs mmmmkay?

:Oi: Not everybody you get a purple rep from is a child molester :mad: :girlfight:

You'll find that sometimes the colour will change. If it does change then you know it's from me (mine are the ONLY ones that will ever change). The reason it's purple in the 1st place is because my rep count is below the threshold for green, so it gives you a 0 rep points purple coloured one. However, later on when I remember to, I manually change it to approximately the green rep points I should theoretically be able to hand out.

[Skyryder]

Bling is bling................red, green or purple I'm colour blind on KB it's all the same to me.

[jrandom]

... approximately the green rep points I should theoretically be able to hand out.

About... one million?

:eek:

[Mental Trousers]

Largest signed Int available ..... of course then the very next one green rep would wrap around into the negatives so they'd have more red rep then I do.

[dino3310]

i'm with Skyryder
red green colour blind, all looks the farken same to me.
some of the coments are cool though:Punk:

So thats why you dont change it. I've noticed you seem VERY attached to that row of red boxes.:bleh:

16 or 32 bit?

I'm the only one with a full line of red. Besides, rep doesn't mean Jacques Schiite so why not :)

Now that is almost true.

You can not become a senior member if you don't have positive rep I seem to recall.

I guess that rule doesn't worry Admins though... ;)

[Mental Trousers]

You're not wrong mate. In fact I reckon rep should be removed from what is required to become a senior member so that it's simply time & post count based.

[ManDownUnder]

That's about it. Their bling doesn't count and it is statistically probable that some of them are convicted child molesters...however this is because it is bling from people who have not received any green bling themselves and do not have enough posts to add any weight to their bling.

Which raises an interesting question... if we all started off with no bling - how did we bling our way out of it?

Assuming you are not negatively-blung to start with, your bling begins to carry weight once you reach a certain post count.

I think.

So I guess that's how the system bootstrapped itself back in the days of yore.

Does anyone remember when Nicko sat at the top of the "highest rep points" list for ages, with, like, a whole two green boxes?

:laugh:

[Virago]

Okay - a contentious suggestion (and off-topic from the original post):

The rep system is now showing signs of a classic inflation scenario. The more rep people have, the more they give to others, who in turn give more etc etc...

Members can now get to "green bling whore" status (a relatively new classification) quite quickly. In two years time, it is conceivable that someone might be a "green bling whore" before they become a senior member - especially now that Rant & Rave posts don't count toward post counts. The whole rep system will become meaningless.

So - how about a mass "devaluation" of rep? Drop everyone's rep points to perhaps 20% of current value, to allow a new gradual build up?

thats easy for you to say because you have more than me:baby:

[Jerms]

Asking for green is a red bling offence ....your're new....don't do it again:nono::rofl:

Is it an offence to ask for red bling? Will that mean they'll give me green bling instead??? :eek:

I'm goin to get in trouble for that aren't I...? :spanking:

[jrandom]

I would instead suggest a re-scaling of the rep point indicators and mouse-over descriptions with a logarithmic progression similar to the various grades of flashing post count indicators.

[Mental Trousers]

..... stuff .....

You seem to be looking for more stuff to do .... :pinch:
