Hey Fatima.

So, "respect" is broadly an indication of helpfulness, or contribution to the community. You get more respect by users "upvoting" your posts. This is from the ATAR Notes Rules:

Most sections of the forums have an awesome thing that appears to the top right of the post – A respect meter and the option to ‘upvote’ or ‘downvote’ a post. We encourage everyone to upvote any post they find even remotely helpful – these slowly add up to increase the respect count on the profile of the person doing good stuff, and gives them a small form of recognition for their great work.

The formula is:
+1 = 0 Respect
+2 = 0 Respect
+3 = 0.4 Respect
+4 = 0.8 Respect
+5 = 1.2 Respect etc…

Lots of small posts with ‘+1’ won’t increase the respect count on your profile, but one great one with ‘+17’ will increase your respect count by 6.
Don’t downvote posts for no reason. Targeting a specific user’s posts or just downvoting everything in sight is definitely not allowed under any circumstances. 

Also, I've just combined your two successive posts into one. In future, you can use the "Modify" button to edit your posts.

What are you doing with your free periods today? Aside from using ATAR Notes, of course.

Well if I went to Western to do planning it would be a 10 min walk so I think the question here should be, Why are all the good uni's/degrees so far away from the AN users?

Edit: for the record WSU does look like a good uni too, I just don't wanna be a planner anymore and their Arts course isn't as good as USyd

Maybe your shirt was on on correctly and your body was just backwards?
