    Not everybody you get a purple rep from is a child molester

    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.

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

    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...

    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.

    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?
