Since 2011, they site has added Rep to each person that has an account here. It has nearly been a year since this has happened and there are still people on here that think their rep is unfair.

We know that the lowest is Fluffy (hidden from most users, even from the user him/herself). To most Fluffy means you are just another person that doesn't understand what magick is and think magick is harry potter. Others think Fluffy is another term for trolls and such. It really doesn't matter what it means, it is just the lowest title on the site.
Some people will think they have that title because they do not see any Rep on their profile. Which comes to another type of Rep, the blank title. This just means you are new and haven't really done anything to impress anyone important (Important as in people with high rep). If you want to improve your rep just kiss up to the knowledgeable people and the Adepts.
Then the list goes on to beginner, novice, knowledgeable, and adept.

For those that worry about their own rep will try to get adept as best as they possibly could. These people will also complain about why their rep is so low or that their rep isn't on the same level as them.
Rep to me is something that really doesn't matter because only a handful can improve your rank. Because if you post something they agree then they will give you some points but if you post something that you believe but they don't than they will most likely give you bad points. So it is more of a popular contest than how much you know about magick (I understand that is a strong word, but it is the closest one I can think that will match the ranking system).


It takes a lot of work into the site with that one profile to really improve yourself here. You cannot just ask someone to improve it for you, you have to do it yourself. But if you have blank for rep just put it out of your mind and go out and help people on the site. There are lots of people here that need help and if you know how than go help them. Do not get blind by the ranking system to start posting random stuff that really doesn't matter to people. And besides, I know some really smart people that do not have any rep because they don't have a lot of time for this site due to job and family.
