Stars or Tps which are more prestigous

[timobusa]

Lots of stars:

(1) you've been here a long time
(2) you're a spammer

Ironic.

[wdleehi]

Lots of stars:

(1) you've been here a long time
(2) you're a spammer

Spammers never last long enough to get close to a star.

[Gainesville Celtic]

"TP cliques" where people would reward their friends as much as possible in a quid pro quo system

Abort, Rebus! I repeat, abort!

once upon a time — before a kid and a diff. job — that might have been Gainesville Celtic 

either way... a TP for the chuckle 

[CelticConcourse]

Lots of stars:

(1) you've been here a long time
(2) you're a spammer

Spammers never last long enough to get close to a star.

Five and counting

Just kidding (right?)

[Redz]

I like TP's more too. Regardless of the fact that the system is 'abused', a higher TP-ratio ultimately means, in my opinion, the poster has half a brain

The ratio means little since as others have posted, many long time posters have lost all the TPs in the past on Celtics winning in the playoffs. 


Heck, look at this list (which took place before TP-gate)

=denotes supreme TP lord

Ahhh...the days of bottomless idle time store watching.  I started those lists mainly because I have a fascination with accruing #'s and they ended up creating a monster.

[Redz]

Neither. 

Tommy Points have the same flaw as upvotes in Reddit...  folks who post an unpopular opinion that adds to a discussion will typically get downvoted for not siding with the masses.  I have a tendency to argue the unpopular opinion here... so I don't expect to ever get tommy points.  It's a credit to CB that they eliminated the possibility to give someone a negative tommy point... otherwise I'm pretty certain I'd have a negative amount.

This is a Celtic forum.  Everyone here is conditioned to love the Celtics.  You probably aren't going to get a TP for criticizing Rajon Rondo or suggesting we aren't a contender. It's not surprising that some of the most positive people here have the most tommy points.  "You love the Celtics?  Shucks, me too!... have a Tommy point!"

That and the fact that long-time posters have twice given away all of their Tommy Points in one of Roy's "How much will you wager for a Celtic title?" threads.   

They are meaningless... I still give them out, but when I do I usually call it out in the thread... Telling someone, "TP... awesome post!" goes a lot further than the number tally.

Here's a TP.

You're my favorite contrarian for sure.

I agree, have a tp. 

Shouldn't you disagree to agree about a contrarian? It just seems to be a disservice.

I agree, have a tp.

See that.  I got a post AND a TP in one fell swoop, thus gaining prestige like a madman.

Have a TP!

[Rondo2287]

Is it bad that I've given out more tp's in this thread than any other over the past year?

[Bahku]

I don't think there's "prestige" attached to either ... stars are just a measure of how much you post, and have nothing to do with the quality or import of those posts, and TPs are for fun, reward and thankfulness, and not really a measure of anything pretigious or noteworthy.

[GreenFaith1819]

I just think "Tommy Points" make the site unique.

I mean, what other blog has them?

Lakers? Magic points? I could go with that...Kobe points? Mikan points?

Just doesn't sound the same.

[KCattheStripe]

It means you're really stingy in the cbnba , which is not terribly surprising.

Oh actually I do give a fair amount of tp's there too haha.

Kobe points? Is that a bad thing?

Or can you only give those points to yourself?
