1. I'd think that some role-players have a reputation for a reason. Whatever that reason is however, I've no clue. Though it does in general make me feel either wary or a bit happy to see certain reputations; wariness if they have a bad reputation, or happiness if it's a good one.

2. I dunno. I'd imagine most people look at me as someone who shows up every once in a while and asks a few questions, so I don't think there's too much positive or negative yet. Ultimately if someone viewed me as a plague I might feel a bit hurt, but I'm sure I'd shrug it off. I might ask myself if I did anything wrong to warrant them seeing me as a plague before I shrugged it off however, maybe try and rectify what I did wrong. If they didn't give me a chance though? Well, the only thing I can think of in regards to that is not wasting time on that individual. On the other side of the coin, if I were viewed as alright by a few people I'd be feeling pretty decent.

3. Learning from my reputation? Depends if I did anything particularly bad, or needed to improve. If the reputation was unwarranted, or was blown out of proportion, I may feel a bit distraught at that. Hell, I may even become vocal about it sometimes. Though I don't think I have that much of a good or bad reputation. Haven't done anything too cringe-worthy yet, though there is work to be done on my writing.
