On TSR when you realise that
the only thing that matters is accruing rep points and
showing off your gems.
So your posts become about getting rep, either through posting early on a thread with something witty or sucking up to other members with lots of rep.
It can become quite obvious at which point you get a
reputation for being a rep whore or, as the gems are green colour- a greendigger.
"Rep-whoring is so tragic"
"Did you see that rep whore in that thread posting the GIF"
"Yeah it was so
obviously for rep"
"Classic greendigging
behaviour"
"That user always thirsts for rep from
the boys with all the gems, classic rep-whore"
