Hmm. Perhaps I shouldn't have posted the description quite as I did.

interesting that most members here use their real name or at least some sort of fake first and last name.

Now what is this Point Rank: # 7,574 next to my name

Does this comes from combing my posts from RC and ST ?

The point rank is a way of showing total contributions by a user to the Destinations section of Mountain Project. It combines routes, areas, photos and comments, assigns a point value and adds them together to get a value (see under your point rank for point values Majid) which all users(of MP) are ranked by. The point system is theoretically a way to guide new users to look at users who are high on the point rank to see what is expected of a contribution to MP. The actual value of the points is nothing, obviously. Hope that helps.
See 'top' contributors here

The reason behind users using their real names is ownership of contributions and with that transparency, reliability follows (hopefully).

Any other questions, feel free to ask them in the Help Forum.

Majid, I need a quick diagram of an anchor cross loaded with green arrows showing the direction of forces applied and red arrows depicting optimal forces. Can you set me up with that? Also, I would like a skull with the word "NO!"

Funny. Seems your reputation preceeds you.

when you talk about reputation, are you talking about my on-line reputation or what you know of me from my posting or my real life reputation or what is out there ?

well, since we've never (to the best of my knowledge, outside the interweb) met, I must be referring to your online persona. Yes?

and all those who have, over time, come to expect wild illustrations, nearly implausible scenarios, and arrows

I am innocent and a victim of a few hardcore climbers out there who wants to take me down for no reasons.

I may have been too hasty since I see that an internet troll is someone who makes a post in order to provoke a response. Given Majid's resume I can see how someone might think they were "trolling" although I think Dave is probably right about the language culture thing. Appy ologies Sir Camsalot.

Edit:Of course if Dave is "trolling" then I have been trolled.

A small collection of his classic illustrations from an rc.n00b search





Seems several times a year, inevitably some poor n00b who has yet to become familiar with his "style", gets their panties in a twist over some perceived offense and has to have a drama-queen blow up all over the boards. Energy more efficiently spent in an effort to understand/recognize that some things don't translate well, nor does every translator get it right every time.

Then, OTOH, there are responses like this:

, in that he'd not already been here. I'm curious how he found it? Some google-machine keeping tabs on where/when his name pops up, I would suspect.

Now I understand why I saw a guy with a spare tire on his trad rack.

A warehouse full of magazine burns to the ground and only 300 viewers and Majid comes to MP and 1000+ readers in less than two weeks

People love me or what

There goes the neighborhood. BTW, hilarious set of diagrams above - that stuff is so completely weird it deserves its own appreciation thread.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
