Yet, the appreciation points are utterly valueless - they don't entitle you to free merchandise, extra exposure etc. They are nothing more than a social indicator. But the point is that they are _supposed_ to be an indication of how valuable people find your posts. Some people might look at the ratio (that guy is helpful about 60% of the time) others might look at quantity (that guy has helped 300 people) - so outright ASKING people to give you points is a manipulation of the system. Feel free to call me a troll - (unfortunately 1addicts doesn't have a 'troll' button yet - it'd be interesting to see if people collected those points too) - but I think it is fair to ridicule because it's an overt attempt to manipulate the system - and a pointless system at that - it's not like you're asking people to give you something you can then benefit from - it's just asking people to artificially boost your social standing. ... in many ways it's akin to re-badging your 128i as a 135i or publishing 0-100 times and virtual dyno graphs that you measured going down a steep hill. All that said, we all come on here voluntarily, and it's a bit bloody rough to turn around and hate on a guy who's just come here to say how much he's enjoying the community. So there's no need to be an arsehole about it - if you're going to be negative, ridicule the behaviour, not the individual. |

I'm far from being the helpful SOB that my number of appreciates to post count would indicate using your methodology...trust me, and if not, just ask anyone on here that knows me. |

... That also explains why OP's proud "400th post" thread shows that it's only his 399th post. I thought everybody was being very polite about OP's numeracy. |

OP, you'll need to aim higher. If the appreciation ratio is to be trusted, we all need go no further than Joekerr for sage advice |

#TheAppreciationsFactor
Still loving my car, and over five years later it is still putting a smile on my face.. So F'n hilarious to see this post received it's 10,000th view and I earned two points. 7 years later and I'm still heading to be somebody on Bimmerpost!!! Should have an appreciation score of over 1000 in 2025 by my numeracy and I have almost attained a full 1.0..... Laugh
I hope all are well, and you have not been traumatized by the front grill of the G8x.

Nobody tell OP 1:1 was guaranteed if you posted often in the politics forum.
Definitely don’t tell him it’s no longer on the forums. |
