What do points make / PRIZES

[Dozer 73]

Ratings and points , or points especially on this forum , how do you score them and why are we collecting them

 

[telectrix]

because we can.

 

[Dozer 73]

because we can.

And how do we gain them

 

[Gavin John Hyde]

I rated you as funny so that you ratings will go up a little. if you go in your profile page and ratings given/received you can see your score. the higher the score the closer you become to god like status on the forum. think of it as a long drawn out election system.

An I thought point's meant I was going too fast !

Does your score go down if you get a dislike.

 

[happysteve]

I don't think so. But perhaps "old," "bad spelling," and "dumb" do. I believe "dislike" and "optimistic" are neutral. Maybe?

setting points. that takes me back last ones i ever done was a Sierra. you just reminded me. that Sierra cost me £200, and on the last day of the road tax running out, an Esso tanker rear ended me. insurance gave me £600. enough to replace the car and get ratted for a week. was round about 1987.

..... Esso tanker rear ended me.....

So you can get a power surge from ESSO Fuel !

My Sierra memories consist of laying under one -belongin to a mate.
..Finishing off his take it apart habits / always outside , must have had some cold winters - remembering Snow on tools.
I probably had a Cortina then ... yearning for a Cosworth .

Similar thing happened to me, I paid £36 for a mk 3 fiesta with 3 months MOT on it in 2006. A week before MOT ran out, a VW passat rear ended me, got nearly £2,000
