Excuse my Ignorance but what are the 'Watts' on your profile for?

[SpondonBassed]

Remember...

Basschat Watts only appeared with the last regeneration of the forum a couple of years ago.  Some members have been here over a decade and all of their posts are counted.  A relative newcomer such as myself can appear to be more popular than is actually the case because of it.

I think that if your Watts vs post rating is low, you probably have written considerate, well-reasoned, wise posts. If it's high, you've posted one or two Bad Jokes in appropriate threads. 😁

That makes me all warm and fuzzy inside, cheers chap!

As all decent bass players know, 'Watts' are a pretty meaningless measure of much, anyway. 

RMS Watts certainly misleading.

My understanding is that posts in OT don't add to our post count, but reactions received by any of our posts add up on our profile no matter where the post being reacted to is.

I'm not sure what this Rank you guys are talking about is. Mine seems to be called Member Title. Or am I looking in the wrong place?

 

I don't seem to have that option:

[Silvia Bluejay]

@Richard R IIRC you get that option when you reach either 500 or 1000 posts (can't remember which).

At last,  an answer!

Thanks @Silvia Bluejay 👍

[BassTractor]

@Richard R, how are you doing?
Answer this, and you're only 73 or 573 posts away! 😁

PS 
Answer it here in General Discussion. Do not ( I repeat: DO NOT ) use the Off Topic forum.

Just seen we share a birthday. Happy birthday for Tuesday 🎂

[Silvia Bluejay]

And to you! Lockdown birthday... a decent excuse to have another celebration next month or whenever it is we'll finally regain freedom.

I guess I now have to post like mad so we can find out. My watts/post ratio will drop like a stone.

(5)74 to go 😉

Aw. Didn't think of that. My bad. ☹️
Did you have tea today? (We're getting there! 😃)

It's like getting a star for a 5 metre swim, so that five metre is not quite a 5 metre as you need to push yourself off then float before you stop. So you only actually swim 2 metres the most. 

Go ahead , plenty of emojis please to boost my watts. Thank you
