Q:
What does it take to become a Top Ten User on this site? I understand how the points work (I think), but what is the criteria for Top Ten User status? Just looking at the profiles, the point totals are not in numerical ranking. But perhaps we have solved one of the great mysteries of the 21st Century. If RylieGipson became a Top Ten User with a bunch of NEGATIVE points total, that completely explains how Barack Hussein Obama got elected!
I'm convinced now!

WA Mtnhunter-
Apparently, it is a matter of quantity, with no thought to quality. That little Rylie Gipson girl once posted over three pages of answers, same answer to same question. F&S also deleted her points, she was whining about that. I guess it is all right to keep re-posting the same inane question over and over,
and giving out stupid answers to questions you have no clue to the answer, but good trivia questions, regarding the War of Northern Aggression, movie trivia, etc. will draw a comment from the online editors. Also, slap-dab plagiarism is tolerated, and bad advice abounds. So, in answer to your question, Dad-Blame it if I know!
At one time I happened to notice my photos were at the number two spot in the top ten posters of that section. I took a look at the number one guy and he only had a half dozen really sorry pics (some totally unrelated) with hardly any feedback. Hmmm. Next day I noticed I was number one but nothing that I could see had changed in my profile. The number one guy from the day before went right off the list! A couple days later I took a look again and I was off the list, although positive feedback had piled up on some new photos I had posted. I looked at a few of the top ten guys and was noy terribly impressed. Bottom line: I think the top ten thing is totally random. I don't care what my "standings" are, but following the process for a bit was interesting if not amusing.
some times you just have tilt your head sideway's and squint to see it . other times you end up scratching your as you walk away muttering damn if i know .
sorry insert the word head as needed above
I agree, it's an oddity. Cooner is right, and sometimes you have to use a flashlight.
cooner I thought you had it right the first time, at least when it counts towards nothing, thats the end I scratch...hehehehehehe
gotta be a typ-o???
Well I'll be ___ Just noticed that, very odd
Ohh forgot...Must be an electoral college
yes it is a type o but sometimes it just kind of works out in translation
Acorn strikes again? Are dead people, mickey mouse and donald duck voting? I'm on here nearly every day and have not made top ten anything in months. It's not imortant to me that's not why I use the site. It just shows that things are not as they should be.
I sent you a meassage about the Seals that are being persecuted by the administration for capturing a terrorist and messing up his hair in the process. That is the kind of BS that really steams me.
i know del will remember this but when the site first changed alittle over a year ago there was a guy by the name of "T" that stayed in the #1 spot for 3 or 4 months that was hardly ever on here. i didnt understand it then and i dont under stand it now. and " frankly my dear i dont give a damn"
With regard to WAM's comment above about trivia questions, I thought it would take an off-topic complaint via the "report" icon to draw a comment from the on-line editors.
I personally enjoy exchanging banter with other readers about movie trivia, esp. about guns used in particular movies.
I've seen some sad stuff on hear but to see Rylie Gipson on the top ten kind of takes the cake. No offense Rylie but seems there are a lot of people on here who post a lot better of quality material that would deserve the honor of being on the top ten.
What? There is a top ten list? lol

That was my old Sky Soldier buddy that mentioned trivia questions, etc., not me on that count. I did not say anything about trivia. I enjoy it myself and I think he does too.
WA Mtnhunter-
I am sorry. I mis-read the name on the first post, which was addressed to you, but came from crm3006.
But thank you for the back-up on trivia questions. Judging from the response to those questions, I think a lot of our readers enjoy them when there is a lull in the action.
i often wondered about this kid,if you wonder why his post are so odd it may be because hes 12 yrs old.if you wonder why he cant spell,its because hes home schooled.maybe his folks should make him get off the field and stream website and make him checkout the sesame street sites maybe a little reading rainbow thrown in there between his lunch and afternoon nap.
Don't underestimate homeschoolers. The last several years, homeschoolers have won the state spelling bee here! I agree that he needs to get his work done and get off F&S until after it's done!
You might check your literary excellence before you throw too many stones :-)
Your public school babysitting service is really turning out the rocket scientists, too....
If you look at Rylie's points you will see it is -22160??? How dose someone get into the negatives???? A lot of -1's maybe?
Kolbster is absolutely right. Seemed like T was on there for months after he disappeared from the site.
I wood lak to no woo adz up thos points. Seemz to me thar haz bean a mistack in tha meth. Maybe yoo do need a flashlite...
There is also a fellow with over a million points and the numbers don't seem to add up either. I asked about that and have not received an answer other than, "Well that odd......" Could the calculator be defective?
How the heck did he get over a million? Last I checked he was 200,000 short and bagging negatives faster than a bull's tail at fly time. Again, I think it's all random. Totally bogus. One would think that there would be more concern about credibility. Frankly, I think the only concern is hits to encourage advertising.
Some kids are home-schooled because of their disabilities. Let's be careful, guys. My boy was autistic and I encouraged him to be as normal as possible. Including corresponding on the internet. I miss that little guy so much.
Del,
I'm sure ACORN is at the bottom of this or the ACLU!
i stand by my comment.
Wa M,
That's why I never worried about it. It's about money, I'm getting tired of it. Not much input/posts of quality from the big guys lately either.

Until you stop plagiarizing, you have no right to comment.

oh ya they should have a top everyone list because every one with an account gets on.
