adaMada wrestles with the question about some
users' reputation in the Off-Topic forum in his article entitled "<A HREF="http://apolyton.net/misc/column/121_reputation.shtml">The Spammer's Reputation</A>".

Comments/questions welcomed here.

I think adamada is right with the statements. particularly...

[Advirus]

Just how relevant is a person's post count? Would you rather have someone with 10,000 posts like "Yeah, dude!" or someone with 10 posts who describes an effective strategy for controlled expansion?

Agreed! And as for the post count, if you hang around for a while you learn who's worth listening to and who's just trolling...

Just a thought......

So do i... i'm currently a "civ2 addict", and i think Apolyton forum "is what it is" not only for hints, tips and strategies.
It's also a way to express ourselves speaking about something both of us likes to do.

Yes yes, I know Jools (or was it Monk?) started the Apolyton Cafe.

Anyway, Apolyton is what it is, I for one come here for fun, if I really want a serious conversation, I'll talk face to face with someone. Though some debates here are interesting, I still come for fun. That includes jokes and stuff, etc. etc. Apolyton would be a dull place with only debates going on (going nowhere?), so some try to make it fun. Hell, if you really look into the coffee shop threads, many of the posts weren't even mine.
