I want to know how a spammer, in this particular instance user "car_diagnostics" (maybe just "car diagnostics"... it's already fading from my memory in a mere few seconds.. ) with 3 spammy posts can get the little green "on a distinguished road" square. It makes my single green square feel so... dirty.

I think you get a green square by default.

So, you have to work at it NOT to have a good rep?

Another feature dreamed up in bizzarro-world...

On other forums the user name is also shown next to the rep point,
but here that info is hidden except from administrators.

That might not be a bad thing, I saw it turn into a love fest at another
forum.

God did not make puppets and we all have the right to choose to do anything we want. We must then live with the consequences. Laws are to help us avoid unpleasant consequences and to help keep order. That is all. I am Pro Life and Pro Choice. I'd prefer not to kill but I have the right to choose to do so even if it's against the law or not. I then must live the rest of my life with the results that will follow. That choice may affect others and I still have the right to choose. So do you. That is the basis of all decisions. Bush decided and now he and we must live with the results. Next time make better decisions. We can only try. No guarantees.

Not saying I agree or disagree. But what does this have to do with the current discussion of reputation and green squares?

[PStechPaul]

I figured out that the green/red square depends on the positive/negative reputation points which you can bestow by clicking on the "balance scales" icon. I noticed that mine had changed to "indeterminate" and another member had a red square so I gave him a boost, for thanking me.

It's not hard for a spammer to get good rep. They have multiple accounts to bump themselves with.

Isn't there some way to automatically close a thread to prevent thread resurrection?

Well, if you will post on it then it will never go away!


Often old threads are still relevant and can be added to and so auto closing them would not be good.
