A reputation nerd is a preson whose post count on a forum speaks about his lack of social life. He is very famous on that particular forum, altough
95% of his posts usually have no substance. He is not a troll, but can choose to be, and others
will still tolerate it. His messages are the filler
junk you have to scroll through to get to the useful posts about a subject. He replies to every subject on the forum, even if he doesn't know anything about it, just for the sake of commenting.
On occasion, other reputation nerds with not so much thousands of posts
will agree with the dominant
alpha-nerd just to
get his approval, and that is the difference between him and a troll. But the reputation nerd doesn't care, or rarely shows any emotion at all. If he does show emotion, it is usually
fake and exaggurated.
In this case,
Kid A is the reputation nerd
Kid B (10 posts): I'm looking for this game (explains game)
Kid A (10 thousand posts): It'
s torchlight rofl
Kid B: Oh, thanks man
Kid A: no I was joking, it is not torchlight. I
don't know what it is.
