What are REDpoints?

[Riven-Twain]

I'm just curious what the difference is between a Red Point and a Thanks?

This question arises every so often, but as far as we can tell, the difference is rather a matter of degrees of appreciation: REDpoints are similar to 'Likes', whereas Thanks are simply if you find posts personally helpful, or worthy of a 'thank you'. By giving both points to a post, you signal that you really appreciated it. @Kinley has supplied the following explanation:

REDpoints display under your username at all times, permanently, I like to think of them as a sort of "reputation bar".
Thanks don't display anywhere except for the post you thanked.

So I guess it all depends whether or not you find a post good or very good, I guess.

oh OK, so I guess I'll start to press RED points from now instead of thatnks

Each REDpoint I receive let my e-penis grow a millimeter... olice:

It really helps with the virtual ladies, believe me. It's great, you have to try it. Just not when @Kinley's around. He steals all the ladies with his monster e-penis...

Judging by what goes on in THESE boards, red points are for cat pics and other memes, and thanks are for useful posts. Sometimes red points do get awarded for exceptional accomplishments.

Like rooting for your favorite waifu?

But yes, REDpoints don't really mean anything nowadays, not sure they ever meant anything to be honest.

I don't know what RED points actually do, but I will continue to shamelessly pander for them anyway.

How does it feel to have 10k+ points that mean nothing?

I do want that milkshake. Please

Spoiler

REDpoint so that I may get one.

10 000 REDpoints for one milkshake is it? This will take a while. :happy:

Hmmm. So you get a milkshake, but all @Sardukhar gets are Weasel-weights and Marmot-marks.

Baaaasically true. I DO IT ALL FOR THE GLORY OF CD PROJEGT CRIMSON-ISH.

Why do you have so few redpoints? Not popular enough, hm? You have to post more, much more pony pics... :hrhr:

 

[Riven-Twain]

You have to post more way more pony pics... :hrhr:

You think that would help? He has a way is slipping them into other people's posts, on occasion. . . .

He has the wrong strategy indeed. He tries to soften his cruel moderator decisions with cute pony pics. You don't get many REDpoints like that - and you won't ever get a sweet milk shake...
