How Stuff Works on TPF

What are Rep Points?

Why does it say "Fish" under my name, but super cool stuff under other peoples names?

I could not find anything about either of these in the FAQ.

insert sleeping smiley here.

The FAQ needs to be updated for specific stuff like that... but I'm pretty lazy, so it's probably not gonna happen.

Your best bet to find answers to questions like these in the future is to use the function. For example, after a quick search, I found this thread that answers your question about the User Reputation system:

It's old, but it will explain the basics anyway.

As for the titles under people's names, they are auto-generated based on your post count until you reach 1000 posts. The more posts you have, the more you progress to cooler and cooler poker names. Once you hit 1000 posts, in addition to other perks (like getting your very own, personalized TalkingPoker.com hat), you will have the ability to set your own user title.

Any more questions?

No. That covers it for now. I didn't know the threads were searchable. Nifty! I keep liking this place mroe and more.

What happened to your 1k hat? Did you lose it already?

remember i was a jerk when he did the next batch, i was at about 2750 posts by then, and you tried to pursuade him to give me a hat? Never got one

Yeah, that as when you weren't paying people the money you owed them - and lying about it for 6 weeks or so. Not to be confused with the time you got banned for submitting a song to TP Radio from your band that actually wasn't your band at all.

You've come a long way since then, or so it seems. Maybe you'll get one from the next batch. Or Longshot's, if I can figure out how to get his name off of there without wrecking the hat.

I'd say you could change that "L" into a "B"
