I know that i've gotten another dot when i got to 100, and 200 points. Im not sure if that keeps going on like that, and what a bright green dot signifys.

From what I have read in other fourms. You start off with 10 points you didn't earn. Then after 100 Reps you get another green box. Then another after 200 Reps and so on. As far as the dark green boxes, you can get I believe 5 or 6 dark green then after that they are lighter green. I think after the dark green boxes, the FTE gods feel you will get many more green boxes so they don't want to wast so much green ink at the cost of green ink these days, I don't blame them.

That is my take on this.

Hey..there's nothing wrong with that! Consider yourself lucky, you can quote Shakespeare all d@mn day long but NO ONE is going to say anything to you, not unless they want to get hurt.

You know in the last 16 or so hours, I've gotten MORE rep points for admitting that I am a Shakespeare nerd than the last 6 months of trying to help folks out...so I can see why some of very helpful folks don't have many rep points...maybe it has something to do with the restriction of "spreading reps".

After 500 points, and the first lt. green box, additional lt. green boxes appear in 150 point increments.

That's ok since it turns out that helping the newer folks won't get you any points even if they hit the button.

Hmm yeah you're probably right. I always did kinda wonder why some of you didn't have more green boxes. Now I know!

Well, dang it, looks like I'm still in 24 hour time out. Kinda sucks that you get dinged for being too kind. I wish all of you had a dozen or so green boxes.

I always seem to be maxed out. There are so many people that I would like to give Rep points to. Many people with good post in here.

Well now, I maxed again, so I have to wait 24 more hours so I can have 5 minutes to thank you guys. I still want to give some more and still need to spread a little for some of you.

Tom, with all your green dots your reps mean more than most of our do. It's good to hear you're giving them out in the tech side of the forums. I'd rep you now if I wasn't under my 24 hr curfew.

Glad to give where it is deserved. Just wish I could give more at a time. Tom is also on my list as are others here, just stuck in the corner for another 24 hours.
