This is my 46th fencing.net post, meaning I'm still too new to be able to grant reputation (according to the FAQ, you need 50 posts). Yet I've already maxed out my own reputation bar, and only some of it is from the épée thread. It seems wrong to me that it's this easy. I've only been fencing for a little over four months, so it's not like I'm some kind of genius-from-Mars who should naturally be able to shoot up through the ranks. If reputation is going to mean anything, it ought to be harder-earned than this. I think posting once per day for three years should be roughly the median effort required to max out.

Oh, quit whining. It's not our fault that we're so much better at snark than you are.

So one useful comment. And the rep was from someone with < 50 posts, so not worth any reputation points.
The thread, on the other hand, was worth quite a few points.

most are either because of my advice/ comments (no one is more surprised than I),
secondly my humour,
and thirdly friends just dropping me some rep & a hello.
Admittedly the vast majority of my rep came from either the epee thread (back when we repped often, that has stopped/slowed down), friends, and my humour.
