Bt rep questions?

[Nemrod]

In my opinion BT rep. points are only useful for traders, if an user has a big amount that gives him some kind of credit, so the other person can trust him. I think that traders rarely hide them (and this is not something disrespectful, I am not anti-trader, I believe in free will).
I don´t give a crap to that thing, moreover, I tend to dislike BTRP. And saving a few exceptions, when I can help with something... well, I prefer people with "reasonable" amount of points.

Bt-Rep is worthless ... I'm not a trader and didn't earn the +4 with trading but by some small GA. But I hid it because it's retarded to base your GA's on the number of BT-Rep points.
Most of them 100+ reppers (not all) are just collectors, having accounts all over the place and just buffering accounts until they get invites to hand out with only one goal ... to get into higher level trackers.

BT-Rep and post count are completely useless ... better look at the quality of the posts someone has made and not to the little numbers.

Just my 2cents.

I have no idea that you can hide it. It doesn't really matter to me.

They mean something negative to me. I would rather give an invite to a good user with constructive posts rather than someone using invites as currency (one way or the other) to get into "Higher Level" trackers.

I there one person here, that would think someone with a lot of rep would be a good invitee if they invite them?

Also the real invites given, the ones just to help out someone without boasting about it in some giveaway thread, they can't be repped without the invitee searching the post history of the inviter to rep them for some random post in the invite section.

To me BT rep either means a trader or someone, that tries to get recognition by giving invites to random strangers who show some meaningless proof.

What he said.

If the majority of someone's posts are outside of the BT invite section they seem a much more decent egg to me.

As the song says
"Quick to judge
Slow to understand".

I prefer to reserve judgment on one's character until given better proof.

besides checking past posts. i think also a good idea is looking at the persons profile links on some trackers. that helps me alot on determining on giving away an invite or not.

I hide mine for 2 reasons.

They can only be giving in the invite section, so its only for giveaways/trading (invites or accounts) it isnt supposed to be for, "cool member" which tbh most of mine have been giving for.

if you hover over the tick to give someone one it says.

Add a Trading rep point to "username"

which is completely wrong in my eyes
