Rep points are a great way to let other forum members know who is valuable. But they are worthless unless you provide links in the rep point to a post that you like.
Let me give you an example.
RioNomad has been a RVF memeber since November, 2011. He has 2,200+ posts and 29 rep points.
RioNomad wrote in a Thailand thread:
And I think to myself, "Oh, interesting. I wonder where I can find these posts."
So I click on RioNomad's rep sheet:
Code:
Not one motherfuckin link!!!!
Fuck the search feature; it's not reliable enough to find individual posts of wisdom, because often times we post good posts in threads that have undescriptive titles.
Note that this post isn't about RioNomad, but instead, it is about how people give rep points in general... throw in a link for a post of theirs that you liked!
Compare RioNomad's rep sheet to Beyond Boarder's Rep Sheet:
Code:
While not every rep point of Beyond Boarder contains a link, enough of them do, making it easy to find out a few good quality posts of his should I want to look up his advice.
Please, everyone on the RVF should make it habit to include links when giving out rep. While you don't need to do it for every rep point, please try to do it as much as possible. It will make things much easier for everyone's future reference.

If dealing with prostitutes isnt your thing, just like it isnt my thing either, it is extremely easy to avoid them in BKK. Its ridiculously easy in fact. I'm sure I've written about it a hundred times.
