What's wrong with being young? I know I use a lot of smiley faces and exclamation points when I reply to certain posts because I'm just a happy excited person, especially when it comes to my favorite hobby :) lol. I understand what your trying to say but you can still be young, use smilies, and still be considered professional.
I don't think there is anything wrong with being young; it's just in general, ( I know this doesn't apply to all young people) that younger people have less experience, well because of their age. There are people on this forum that have probably kept snakes for as long as I have been alive (27), and have first hand knowledge to pass on to those willing to listen.

I didn't say there is anything wrong with being young. I guess immature is a better word and that is associated with being young. OP said they wanted rep. Coming off as a mature more professional individual, such as using capitalization, not using chat speak, and not putting a ton of smilies in a row all the time, is going to get you more rep. People will listen to you more when they see you come off as mature. I know when I see the things I mentioned above that, no matter how experienced they are, I skip over it or take it with a grain of salt.
