    Well Sam18 is on a distinguished road so it only makes sense that you have a reputation.

    Re: Why do I have a reputation?

    I was wondering the same thing. That is, I was wondering why I have a reputation, not why Sam18 has one.

    We know why he has one! Apparently, I'm off the scale but yet there's a little scale where people can add to my reputation. Which is better, being off the scale or on a distinguished road? They both sound like they were badly translated, actually.

    I do not know what this scale means but I do not like that there are others who also have them. Those of you who wish to survive to see the end pledge your allegiance to me now, and the rest of you...well you were warned.

    It's funny how the management of this board won't come forward to address their double secret probation system they apparently have for some of their members.

    Does anyone have a red square? I assume green turns to red with a bad reputation.

    I think it just means you are a registered member at NYYFans. Everybody, at present, seems to have exactly ten points. And to be either "on a distinguished road" or "off the scale."
