It may be okay to idolize Rowuk a little... I* think it's a great idea, it may discourage a poster that is looking to bum someone out or add a post just to screw with someone.

We can all tell when sarcasm is used in a way that it should be used for, to lighten a situation or poke fun if the post is too serious.

I don't really consider it too be a censorship issue either, which I would have a problem with. Who knows... whatever.

How do I add the stage 1 advert to my posts. I would love to win that beautiful trumpet.

Mini rant: In the trumpet business, the most popular players aren't always the best ones. Likewise, the most valuable answers here won't always be the most popular answers.





Besides, Vulgani thrive having no reputation to tarnish!

I'm with you, Vulgano di tutti Vulgani.

I think it is interesting. I checked my usercp and I had some comments and positive reviews. and one negative i think it might be fun if it isn't abused

rowuk

I didn't even know what this was about until last week. I clicked on the second green square and it said "ROWUK is just nice". I still am not sure if that is a complement.............

I definitely do not qualify as an "idol" nor do I have an active interest in being branded. Another forum (for audiophile headphoning) that I visit gives points. There are some posters with 4000 posts and 2000 points (not me, I am at 130/4 there but I do not love headphones in the same way as I love trumpet). I think that system is unfair as it implies that only the heavy points are believable when you get into an argument!

I guess anything is worth a try, I promise not to chase brownie points though. If anyone has a problem with me and my posts (quantity, quality, length, themes), a PM is the fastest way to clear things up. If I goof up, I will take the hit openly.

When I first started at TM I got blasted for posting too much and not blindly agreeing with established pros (that were not even posting at TM). There are always several valid sides to every issue and I just post my personal experience. As with trumpetjens and his Yamaha ad post proved, this can be fun for all sides! An open forum does not have to be 50% flames.

Brem,
Sheik Yerbooti would probably fit your playing style better!

Ed and VB, 6 or 7 red squares would definitely get some attention. George Carlin did a stand up comedy act many years ago where he suggested this system for automobile drivers. If somebody misbehaves in traffic, you shoot their car with a suction cup arrow, after a certain number of arrows, their license gets taken away.
