very minor, possibly dumb suggestion (regarding reputation caption mouseover)

[General Geoff]

A lot of folks who have very high and very positive reputations, have the following appear when you mouse-over their reputation bar:

"[Username] has a reputation beyond repute"

Is it just me, or does that sound really dumb? How can you define a reputation by using the word repute (which is reputation's root word)? I think "repute" should be replaced with a better word like "reproach".

I'm such an English Nazi.

[Brick]

You're absolutely correct!

I do believe you are looking way too deep into this.
Just saying

Unless it's supposed to be a pun?

That's just what the default wording that comes with vBulletin is

How about:

"[Username] has a reputation beyond refutation"

How about:

"[Username] has a reputation beyond refutation"

How about:

[Username] Freakin Rocks!

[bigbear]

And for the not so well known:

"[username] is better then a sharp stick in the eye."

Just a suggestion.

[Warners Surplus]

How about

[MostlyHarmless]

Administrator: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"

Engineer: "If it ain't broke, it can't have enough features"


Why bother?
