in reply to reputation question?

To summarize: you do your homework, look up the Tutorials, perldoc and FAQ, before you ask questions, and your reputation will grow. Otherwise...


I'm too lazy to be proud of being impatient.

    Except if you do none of what you listed but keep posting here, your reputation will also grow....

      I'm not sure that's entirely true. If you keep posting here, but never "do your homework", i.e. never attempt to get smart(er), then your posts will suck, and they will get downvoted, and you will lose XP.

      (Note: Posts have reputation, users have XP.)

      I reckon we are the only monastery ever to have a dungeon stuffed with 16,000 zombies.
        If you look back, the comment was "your reputation will also grow". But reputation applies to nodes, not Monks. So I treated that as reputation in the general sense and replied accordingly. Granted though, reputation and XP are often confused, so maybe nemesdani meant "your node's reputation will also grow"? Regardless, I was speaking about reputation in the general sense, not The Monastery's version.
