Greenies/Post

Hey,

I was just curious what do you rather have first:

1) 11 Greenies
2) Senior Member

Which one would you be aiming first (Low post # members)? Or which one did you get to first (for the Seniors)

Which one will earn you respect first

The AntiPoints System is a way for you to weed out the bad users from the good users, while at the same time building your own reputation in the AntiOnline Community. In general, users who are respected as posting userful information, being friendly, an who answer other's questions, will have a high number of AntiPoints. Users who spam, flame, harass other members, or post misleading information, will have a low or even negative number of AntiPoints.

Or posts/being here for a long time? Or being respectful?

What am aiming from is the 11 greenies, why because what JP wrote in the FAQ ^^

I am not here for any kind of status but I am here to learn and to help other people.
The two things mentioned maybe nice site addons but are not a goal in itself.
There are numerous newbies out there that now more than I do.
I would not like to have three red dots but furthermore to me it does not matter.

Cheers

I couldn't agree more wholeheartidly.

/nebulus

I understand ;) but I will just curious what do you rather have first or what you had first. Because I look at the AP to see if I did my part in helping people. Sorry I didn't make it that clear ;). But isn't that what the AP system is for to weed out the bad ones and the ones that have a high number of AP are the nice and helpful ones. I was just asking what would you like to have most of?

Well Cya ;)

I agree w/ Ned and No0, but I'm more here to read. . .I don't consider myself highly informed about many security topics, so I like to read all the new threads in the different forums. Heh, I'm sure some people here have probably read some of my posts and thought WTF is he talking about!?! Just think those are the ones that I think I know enough about to help. . .just imagine how many times I've started to reply to a thread and then just deleted it all. . .anywho. . .AP's, there kewl, but I don't really care about them. . .senior status. . .eh, addict is good enough, I was curious about what happens in there, now I know. . .but I'm here to read, gives me something to do at work. :)

I can relate to this statement, the reading is what i enjoy the most on AO by far, the only reason i can answer the few questions i am able to tackle is from reading and learning from you guys, aswell as on my own out on the net. Plus reading expands your vocabulary and makes you smarter. Studies show it. :)

Since i was the first one to vote for now at least it will be easy to tell my answer. I would rather have alot of good posts behind me then a bunch of little dots. Dont get me wrong the antipoint system is okay but in a way it has become perverted from what the original plan for it was. I dont care what people think of my posts if just one person is able to take something that i have said and put it to constructive use then its worth the time it takes to write it.

Hrm.. I have both so I guess I don't really count... but I hit senior member status first....

I think that everyone here has the right idea, and I agree with them... we're hear to learn and help eachother learn.... I'm on here everyday (probably too often) because I want to learn... it's the greatest thrill of life, when you realize you've learned something completely new and it will benefit you in some way..... We're all here (well most of us) in the pursuit of knowledge, for knowledge can bring happiness (IMHO)... I think you should aim for neither Senior Member status or High APs.... but let them both just come... "Seek and ye shall never find" Don't go in wanting something or looking for something.. Let it happen.. I can tell you though that when you get up there in APs and you see some of the messages with your APs... it makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, like you are doing something good for the community. There are people here who are twice my age, and have 100 times more experience than I do.... and they'll have the ability to show me things I haven't yet thought of..... So... I sit and answer questions if I can, read when I don't know the answer... and be a contributing member of our society.. our community.....

Personally I think this poll was a bad idea...... Good worthwhile posts are the key to acceptance and respect in AO and with that your post count will increase and you'll gain more greenies...... So just sit around and see what happens..... "Good things come to those who wait"


Peace

HT

hahah.. how many of you have complained about antipoints at one point or another?

green dots mean jack ****. It is easier to get green dots for stupid posts that have no purpose then it is to get them for actually helping someone. Notice I got greens today for a post that said. *fart*

member status also has no purpose. It is nothing to get senior member status. Anyone can run around making a few hundread stupid posts for no purpose and get member status. I will admit I have done it. Not to get member status but because I was making a point about stupid threads. I didn't do it until I was already at something like 1000 posts..

I hit 11 dots and addict within a week of each other, but I was an addict first. Can't think of a single benefit I've gotten from either one.

You got to meat me here on AO, that should be a gift in itself ;)

I think the most eventful thing in moving up in the ranks on AO was getting addict's forum access. It was something cool to work toward and I'm glad I can post in there. We have fun.

That is why am on AO for 10 hours a day. AO is my family, if am down I come to AO, If I am lonely I come to AO, Just name it and that is why I come to AO, because I know that I can talk to you guys/ladys and work out my discomfort. Hopefully AO will stay around forever. This thread didn't do so good, sorry I wish I never posted it.

Have a nice day!

Cya

I just now about have enough points to get two green dots, and I'm 4 posts away from having addict status.

I try to help people out around here when I can, and only when I know what I'm talking about. I'm not strong in the network security and networking areas so I like reading the posts in there to try to learn something.

I think that there are newbies out there who only have one post but know way more than what some of us might know. You might have Senior memer status and thousands of posts, but when it comes to help answer a question I think that it doesn't help a bit. Its all about the experiences you've had with computers.

I also can't wait till I hit Addict status. I've been wanting to read those posts in there for quite a long time.

lol Gore

Well, the poll is missing options. These two presented options are crap. What about learning, addicts forum access, being able to help and be helped, creating a reputation in the security world etc...., but why APs. Some times a comment in the thread is worth a 1000 times more than any AP. Oh god, im so bored.

That's just mean........ I spend from when I get home from work til when I go to bed with my AO window open, and check it periodically....

I'm a student, who doesn't know if he'll beable to afford tuition, therefore I can't afford to have a life... to go out and do things.. I have to save my money.. Also I'm a student who couldn't afford to move home for the summer to be with my friends, and eveyrone from my program went home... so I'm left alone.... I could go out every night and waste my money on booze and drugs (like I used to) but now I need to save that money and the few people that are left are all in the same bout... To say someone has no life because they spend mass amounts of time at their computer is just plain mean.... although I'd imagine it comes from the fact that you are in the same situtation.... or something similar... Most of the computer geeks I know.. there lives consist of getting together for LAN parties.. that's not much fun in my idea.. I like my computer... it allows me to keep in touch with friends that are now spread all over the province without a large phone bill and with the ability to talk to several of them at once. It's not a matter of having no life.. it's a matter of determining what you want to do with your time.... for me.. It's spending my time infront of my computer so I can stay in touch with friends and loved ones... If you'd rather be out drinking beer with "friends" that's fine for you... we all make our own priorities in life... and after all we're the Muli-tasking generation arent' we.. so we can talk to people and still browse AO..


You know I probably wouldn't have commented if you hadn't changed dA's name to "lonley man doodz".... and just because I want to... you spelled lonely wrong.. but sheesh man... seriously.. don't attack someone for a position you were probably once in..

Aww shoot d00dz that aint so bad, i have posted some stuff before that drew a much more dramatic effect. We have probably all posted something or replied in a way in which we wish we could take it back, your no different. :)

This aint nothing compared to the heat i took on the draper thread. Everyone has a different take on this stuff, personally i'm not offended by your post here, and if someone is then they don't have to respond to it.

Cheer up, its no biggy.:)

As I sayed please stop hurting me, I wish I never posted this. Thankyou HT and Framework for backing me up ;) that was very nice of you guys.

Cya

Who the hell gets to decide what a "LIFE" is anyway! Hell, i think posting here on AO constitutes a life, and noone can tell me different.... Now i do have no friends, but a life IMHO, i have. :)

debs how can u say that!!!!
isn't your life so much more fufilled now you have 11 dots?? dont you feel better about yourself?? feel that your confidence levels are soaring like never before?? that you are a god among mortals....an unstopable force of nature tearing thro the lives of people around you leaving a wake of broken hearts and admiration???

oh wait they're just lil gree dots - whoops my bad

ohhhh but you did get access to the top secret, and amazingly exciting adicts forum
/me rolls eyes

v_Ln

oh and for those who really want to stand out and be worshiped by all i have included a free download of 12 greenies!!!! thats right you can truely hold your head high....why not print them out and use them to decorate your desk at work?? sure way of getting that raise/promotion you want. How could your boss not when he sees how l337 you are? Or even glue them to a condom (unwanted pregnancies may occur) gauranteed* to make you the worlds greatest lover.

*this is not a gaurantee

Umm, actually, They make me feel good about me, because to get that damn many like i do, ALOT of people have to like you and think your arent worthless, which is what iv heard a million times in "real" life...then again reality isnt always fun s i tend to take medicated vacations. For example...as of right now, my mood that i havnt changed since December is exactly how i am now, fulla Vicodin and listening to the Misfits.

When i made the top ten AP list, i was honoured because then i felt like i was actually doing something, and cared about. so,, well not all of us feel like me but i actually like being there.

point taken g0re but what i was trying to say with my post that although antipoints can be used to show who contributes well to our little community as well as those who do not, some people take them way too much to heart. It even gets to the points were they are so angered by an assignment (99.9% of the time neg) that they start a new thread just to vent........who doesn't remember the flood of them that used to be the scurge of these forums?

I dont mean to belittle anyone who has 11 greenies - heh i dont like to make a habit out of insulting myself (usualy a couple or three times a day is enough) but I would like to highlight that they are after all little green dots......I tend to believe it is not the points themselves that matter but the messages that come with them - recieving a nice note with an assignment showing that someone really took an intrest/liked your post is what really matters....isn't that why we all post?? in the hope of helping someone or providing them with something useful or enjoyable??

soz if i stepped on your toes g0re....now go on and get outta here before i kick your pretty ass ;)

v_Ln

pretty???????? have you seen me? my pics on my profile.

/me runs hides >_<;

you remind me of my cousin the first time i stabbed him.

Hi v_Ln ;) I did get the lovely welcome msg when I got to the addicts forum, that was fun. :D But I'm afraid that was about the only benefit there was. Although I never tried printing out my greenies and putting them on condoms, that might be interesting :P Silly.

This is so so sad :( I come to AO to read and learn not to worried about greenies or what somebody Status is i enjoy being here. Ain't that the way it's surpose to be.


Look i have only one greenie ,but proud of that little sucker :p lol.

pffffffffffffft g0re am not like your cousin the first time you stabbed him.....

more like the sixth time ;) pity he had to go and die that time.....the Tux you were carving into his chest was really starting to look good....so bloody inconsiderate of him, damn wimp he didn't lose that much blood!

Debs you should try printing them out maybe make some underwear out of them? I have knocked up a quick pic of what it might look like - i tried it with some boxers......well......

you know the way they say a good relationship needs plenty of sex and plenty of laughter well i dont think they meant at the same time >_<;

v_Ln

lol like 5mins and the bikini pic has been downloaded 7 times!! you should be proud debs that people are rushing to see you in your bikini

Ahh, I'd like to look like that in a bikini :D Then I would really be flattered. As it is, I think I'm scared that that many people looked at that pic. It's just cause you posted and you never post anymore and everyone wanted to see what gems of knowledge you had to offer HAHA ;)

I'm missing one option...

I'm aiming the gold dot ..... BWAHAHA.... uh oh better get that 11-th dot first, errrr... or, well never mind i don't care

Debs is not what you look like in the bikini that matters but how you look out of it

and i know you look good!! ;)
but dont worry I'll never let any one else have the pictures
(search ebay for 'deb nude pics'..bidding to start at $50 NO RESERVE!!!)

and i do still post - just any a post wh0re any more maybe a bit of a slapper still but not an all out wh0re like i was :D

v_Ln

Senior status and green dots mean nothing....if there was a campaign based on that statement I would be the poster child.

The only thing that really counts here is being able to provide the right answer to a members question and being man (or woman) enough to 'fess up when you give a wrong one.

Ok got ya everyone am mistake. But when do you get a gold dot?? Can you? Or do you have to own the site? Is so how many AP do u have to have like 10,000?

/me laughs at valhallen
"(search ebay for 'deb nude pics'..bidding to start at $50 NO RESERVE!!!) "
rofl!!!

Cya

You can't get a gold dot. Not yet anyway. It's been talked about before, but the only people with them are JP and now Jup Media, as a way not to ban them, like what happened when they first came here. I don't know if they'll ever be available to regular members.

I still want my icey blue dots :(

or!!!!!

LITTLE VALIUMS!!!!! Oh that would so kick ass, to have 11 lil Valiums under my name! and they can be the 10 MG ones so they are blue! :):)

and umm... AO girls in bikinis...why do i think that would generate more money for AO than that Microsoft advertising ?

AO girls in bikinis......why do i think you have hit upon a goldmine there g0re??
sounds like a good idea to me!!

get members to pose for pics turn it into a calander sell it thro the site and the proceeds go to a charity voted for by the members here in AO? what do peps think??
