This p1$$e$ me off - bad rep and the comment - Forum Big Brother 26th January 2007 04:01 AM i hate cats! WTF did some tw4t give me bad rep for saying I like cats??? Mods please remove the bad rep points as I did nothing wrong, abusive or insulting; or atleast find out who that chicken/scumbag/troll/chav was :mad: At least I sign my rep and don't chicken out unlike this idiot. If I find out who you are, you'll get bad rep from me for getting me unjustified bad #£%&ing rep

They probably just did it to wind you up, but hey it didn't work did it!

[Captain VXR]

Yep, now where did I put my gun??? :p , see it didn't wind me up *goes round mystery bad repper's house with metal baseball bat* :evil:

[RaceFanStan]

I too am somewhat dismayed to learn of Andrea's departure from these hallowed portals :( ......
In short. Where Andrea?
I like Andrea, I hate to see that she is missing. :s
I think she would have enjoyed the debate about rep. :D

I find it curious as Andrea isn't the only one missing.
I haven't seen Chica or Roselady in a long time. :eek:
(I did email Roselady but she did not reply back to me.)

It always amazes me when people support unethical behavior. I think that says more about them than anything in a profile or autobiography.

[Gannex]

I haven't read the whole thread, so someone may already have suggested this, but how about banning negative rep, but allowing positive rep only? Wouldn't that make the whole system a lot friendlier and more fun. The worst that could happen to a poster is that he gets not enough positive rep for his or her liking. Hardly a downer, unlike being barraged by negative rep, as some have been. So ban the reds and allow only greens!

[harsha]

what does it matter if you get bad rep???? people will rate you by your posts not by your so called "rep"....

[Mark]

If you don't like rep then don't look at it. I'm not going to start intervening to be a judge of if bad rep was 'deserved' or not.

[Daniel]

Well if we could turn off the ability for a particular user to see comments that'd be great because inevitably when you look at your user cp you'll usually see it. Got a similarly halfwit derived piece of rep this morning. I don't see why people who are just making pests of themselves shouldn't just get a temp ban or be named and shamed. They're not exactly contributing to the forum are they? :mark:

Not a bad suggestion. Make it, "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all."

The entire rep system is unethical, and the negative feeds the forum members without character and values who hide behind anonymity.

An interesting idea, but I once received some bad rep which was fair and deserved. The problem is that, as with anything, people mis-use it.

[ArrowsFA1]

The entire rep system is unethical...
In your view.

...the forum members without character and values who hide behind anonymity.
I assume that would also apply to the vast majority of us here who do not use our full names as a username, or the few who use the forum in 'invisible mode'. They too are "hiding" behind anonymity.

However, that is their choice. Just as using/viewing, or not using/viewing rep is their choice.

Some assessments in ethics may be highly subjective, however there are well established standards. By any of the well established standards, the REP system is unethical, and encourages unethical behavior. Too many threads and complaints document this problem. To suggest that because people who post public messages are hiding behind anonymity is to misunderstand both ethics and ethical standards. The public posts are just that - public, and not dark, dank nasty digs at people -- which is what the REP system, as currently implemented invites and supports.

[harsha]

@agwii-i'm surprised as to why you continue your tirades against bad rep.....you continue making personal attacks on people and then complain it's unethical....

@agwii-i'm surprised as to why you continue your tirades against bad rep.....you continue making personal attacks on people and then complain it's unethical.

Harsha, I find the bad rep system amusing, and the support for it rather typical of the overall decay of many aspects of Western Civilization. I've made no "personal attacks." When I have posted anything about ethics and codes of conducts, they have been deleted as "hijacking a thread." Clearly, a discussion of ethics is disturbing to some on the forum. I have identified inconsistencies in the way some members are treated. Rather than being unethical, that is highly ethical. Your post could be construed as a personal attack -- is that your intention?

[Hazell B]

what does it matter if you get bad rep???? people will rate you by your posts not by your so called "rep"....

They should, but in this very thread there's mention of 'forum favourites' based on rep only. It's human nature to judge by certain benchamrks like rep, post count, and so on.

There's some people well into the red that I like very much, some in the green that I'm not so keen on - but I might look at rep to give me clues if I joined a new forum.

I too have had perfectly reasonable negative rep. Unsigned of course, but certainly not sent just for the fun of it.

Heheheehehe
Following my unerringly accurate prediction that Knockie would be spending some considerable time in the forum hinterland as a result of his somewhat earth shattering disclosures in his Swangsong post yesterday some sparkling bard was moved to send me the following:

"Knock On is a homosexual. Does your support mean that you are one of his lovers?"

Naturally I was outraged at this slur on my sexual predilections and immediately consulted my good friend and forum advocate Gannex for advice on how best to proceed with legal recourse :mad:

Sadly he informed me that as Knockie and I are in the habit of spending every other weekend together dancing in Brighton nightclubs before jetting around the world to watch Kylie in concert and that video footage of the 2 of us frolicking in Michael Barrymores hot tub is widely available on the internet any proceedings that I might instigate are probably doomed to failure :(

However do keep the deeply hurtful personal atacks coming dear boy.
I enjoy them more than you'll ever know, and so does your dad or "Sweetcheeks" as Knockie playfully calls him.

I have 4292 points to the positive, and yes Grayson, you were Gray when you gave me the rep. Not sure what that did to my total, I was away!!

some of you should take note....I have one Fulla crap, one dumbass there. Both of those attacks on my rep don't bother me, but I notice the chicken never signed. I suspect it is the same guy and I have an inkling who it is, but it doesn't really matter much, but I think if you care going to slag people, have some balls people, and admit who you are!

Either that, or just debate them in the thread. A couple of boobs just cant handle a debate and they know they cant slag you without a mod jumping on them , so they do it here. THAT is my issue. If someone cant call me a dumbass in a thread posting, they shouldnt be doing it in the rep postings either. Of course, rules on here tend to be up to interpretation at times, and that is ok, but a little consistenency would be welcome in this instance.

Oh yes, BTW, thanks for those who have supported my postings, it made me realize once again I was not the problem....

One more thing. Oaf, you really need to cut down on the amount of illicit substances you are exposed to, you get much funnier and I am going to need to change!!!

Well, at least you know his or her command of English isn't very good :p :

Out of interest, when the red rep arrives in assorted places all over the world, are you all showing the same early (UK) hours of the morning, allowing for the time differences?

[Mark in Oshawa]

No Hazell, both times it was in the afternoon to late afternoon EST, that is likely someone in my time zone...which is of course, the American South but that doesn't mean that person is from there, but it is from posts from the NASCAR board more often than not. Shame really, I get along with RacefanStan, Cindy, Bobby C and a few others there for the most part, but I find I get abused there more. I post on the Champ Car AND the Indy Car forum, and don't get the abuse at all from there, and I take some pretty unpopular stands but the guys are for the most part pretty rational.

I have less idea now then ever on who is doing it really.....

There is no option in our profiles like in yours :) Not at least one that I saw. If there is I'm happy to disable it :)

[Erki]

Does disabling also mean that you can't send rep, not only receive? Some people send rep to other on others behalf, that's not really nice, is it?

You mean negative rep is sent by somebody on behalf of somebody who knows about it? How do you know - I mean it's never signed in my experience.

Perhaps it's just somebody taking the pee and trying to start arguments?

Mind you, that's just as bad :mark:

Well people have reported getting negative rep being signed from myself. If I'm perfectly honest I've not signed the few instances of negative rep I gave out so someone has been trying to start arguments between myself and other forum members.

[Hazell B]

Pathetic, isn't it?

Still, I'm sure it makes them feel big and tough :laugh:

[Mark in Oshawa]

That I think is Agwiii's reason for dumping the system Hazell, and mine too. If you are forced to sign by the fact it uses your IP to put a signature on it, it would stop some of the cowards. I would then not see a problem with it but as it is now, anyone can slag ya, and if it doesn't matter to you personally, then it is fine, but I figure there is no point in having something that isn't accountable. If we are accountable in our posts, we should be held accountable in our "Rep" presents to other members, good or bad.

[Hazell B]

I can see your point 100%, yet somehow I still like the system despite it's flaws.

[Captain VXR]

I sign good rep but I don't sign the little bad rep I give because I may get attacks from those people. Please add automatic IP encoding which shows who sent it :up:

This is a great opportunity to practice the art of DETACHMENT.

Detachment is something that we should master in our daily living.

By detachment I don't mean complacency. I mean don't be bugged by stuff that is not worth it.

Yes, I agree that signing a comment you make to others on this forum is following proper forum ettiquette, but that is up to the person making the comment.

I recommend that you don't obsess over it, just move on.

By not only being bugged by it but by also sharing the comments you are receiving, you are just giving more life and energy to this thread.

Let it dissipate, detach and go on with your life.

Oily Rep Update

pieces of good rep I have bestowed - 5

Pieces of bad rep I have childishly spewed anonymously or otherwise - Zero

You see my friends I am a somewhat singularly odd creature who when confronted by someone who gets right up my nose prefers to use the far more gratifying and ultimately more immediate response of administering a corking right -hander to my tormentor's head area.

I tend to find that the sight of their prone and twitching body laying prostrate before me brings a glow of well being that can last an entire day

To the person who I'm fairly certain gave me most of this negative rep. You are the biggest two faced little puddle of slime that I've ever met and I hope that your forum friends learn how much of an idiot you've been and make you feel as unwelcome as is humanly possible within the rules of this forum.

Dear person with the inteligence of a haemorroid

I found your rep of http://www.motorsportforums.com/forums/images/reputation/reputation_balance.gifRep (http://www.motorsportforums.com/forums/showthread.php?p=198288#post198288)13th February 2007 11:12 AMhaha, you dont learn do you?

Quite amusing. Considering I haven't actually gone out and made trouble with anyone in my criticism of the way a minority of the people on this forum are using the rep system I fail to see what there is to learn. If you want to give me negative rep every 24 hours that's fine and that's your problem. All I want is for the rep system to function as it does on the other forums I frequent and instead of being a private insult and aggravation service I want it to be a way of people showing support for their fellow forumer or showing people that they're doing the wrong thing. If you've got a problem with that then it's your problem and not my problem. If there's anyone here that's a slow learner it's you. The majority of people who've voted in this thread seem to agree that the rep system is being misused and should go. Now I don't really want that. Mark said that he's going to show the stick to a person who was constantly giving me nuisance rep. So through the complaints of myself and others we may get a rep system which works as it was meant to. Giving negative rep to someone who is the victim of negative rep is hardly doing anything to help solve the problem now is it?

Good day! :)

This just in! Erin Crocker wins ARCA pole position for Daytona!


I also had a link to the ARCA website results page.

My negative repper noted "Erin is a crock"

You know I would probably agree with him, I don't think Erin's going to be a star racer, but I just posted news, what's up with that? I don't believe rep is functioning how it ought to.

The sad thing is, I only have a spectacular aura, I am no longer a glorious beacon of light! :( :p : :D

[LotusElise]

I can think of a few candidates for that. There are a couple of people here (not right here now, I hasten to add) who have difficulty with the idea of women racing drivers.
It's probably nothing personal.

[Mark in Oshawa]

Ihave a Crap post or two. Heck, I was getting slagged and I was on the road for 8 days. Man, imagine how much dirt I disturb when Iam here???

As for you Oaf, you are a gentleman in a land of fools...or maybe the chief fool. Havne't worked out which, but glad to have you around....

As for you Oaf, you are a gentleman in a land of fools...

Care to explain why you're calling the rest of us fools? :confused:

:p :

[harvick#1]

Out of the top 10 'reps' :\ 8 of them are from North America.?!?!?!? Others in the top 10 are Hazell and Old Hippie(I don't know where they are from)

I mentioned this before but nobody took me seriously. I think North American's are planning to take over the forum, resulting with horrific circumstances for the rest of us. :(

whats wrong with NA :p :

This thread is now on its 30th page. :eek: How sad is that? :p :

This thread is now on its 30th page. :eek: How sad is that? :p :

I see page 20 of 20

How sad is it that someone actually cares :p :

[tinchote]

Page 15 for me. Not that bad, then ;) :D

[Alfa Fan]

I'm so slow lol, just realised why the pages are different for different people. I forgot you could change the number of posts per page :dozey:

[donKey jote]

And the number of people you ignore :p :

[Hazell B]

Who said .... naw, too predictable :p :

Perhaps a daft question, but if somebody is on your ignore list can you still rep them? I'm thinking in a way other than by posts, like from clicking on a PM or their profile?

I don't use the function for ignoring, but just wondered.

[ShiftingGears]

I have just discovered that I cannot give myself rep, worst thing ever! :( :p :

Cowards are bad, but there are things even worse. Double standards are objectionable, but hypocrisy is the worse (corrupt) form of the double standard. Seems this little open forum brings out the very worst characteristics of some people who live pathetic little lives of desperation.
Hey Agwii. Seems there's a button missing on the forum today ;)

All I know is that the moron/s responsible live in the same country as you agwii........

I see that the rep button thingy is missing, so is the rep in the User CP.

So the debate is over? :p :

Dear person with the inteligence of a haemorroid

I found your rep of http://www.motorsportforums.com/forums/images/reputation/reputation_balance.gifRep (http://www.motorsportforums.com/forums/showthread.php?p=198288#post198288)13th February 2007 11:12 AMhaha, you dont learn do you?

Quite amusing. Considering I haven't actually gone out and made trouble with anyone in my criticism of the way a minority of the people on this forum are using the rep system I fail to see what there is to learn. If you want to give me negative rep every 24 hours that's fine and that's your problem. All I want is for the rep system to function as it does on the other forums I frequent and instead of being a private insult and aggravation service I want it to be a way of people showing support for their fellow forumer or showing people that they're doing the wrong thing. If you've got a problem with that then it's your problem and not my problem. If there's anyone here that's a slow learner it's you. The majority of people who've voted in this thread seem to agree that the rep system is being misused and should go. Now I don't really want that. Mark said that he's going to show the stick to a person who was constantly giving me nuisance rep. So through the complaints of myself and others we may get a rep system which works as it was meant to. Giving negative rep to someone who is the victim of negative rep is hardly doing anything to help solve the problem now is it?

Good day! :)

I reckon your just begging for bad rep by saying that, and no it wasn't me, obvisously ;)

[RaikkonenRules]

Rep has finnaly been deleted from the forums :bounce:

It was me :) And well deserved too I feel.

[harvick#1]

I like how the Rep was basically 50-50 and it gets thrown out.

then the name being on the top or side was about an 80-20 in favor of the side, and the names are still at the top :mark:

If you're going to fail in your attempt to question my undoubted intelligence, you could at least get your spelling correct. ;)

[Ranger]

Now where's agwiii. He'd give it his seal of approval surely.

[EuroTroll]

I'm rather pleased as well. The forum seems calmer and better spirited. :)

Malllen, I do believe that we could survive quite happily without agwiii's seal of approval. :)

[Ranger]

Malllen, I do believe that we could survive quite happily without agwiii's seal of approval. :)

Of course, but considering how long he was bitching about I'd suppose a response would be OK to see. ;)

One more thing!

Now that "senior member" status and "rep" have gone, I reckon we could make up titles for ourselves that appear underneath everyone's name. So far, such titles are only restricted to mods and members who have posted too much. ;)

Or is that too much? :s hock:

[Daniel]

If you're going to fail in your attempt to question my undoubted intelligence, you could at least get your spelling correct. ;)
Perhaps you should read my post and consider that my English is actually correct.

Would your face be red then? :)

You're suggesting I should have written the sentence like this

Which is wrong ;)

I believe you Hazell but very few people can honestly say that.
I know I sure got a bunch of red & some nasty insults too.
If it wasn't for my friends I would have been deep in the red.
Thanks to everyone who gave me green, it was appreciated.

I'll admit I threw some red around but I also gave a good bit of green.
I never signed the red & usually forgot to sign the green.
If someone made a good point or made me laugh I gave them green.
If someone made a spectacle of themselves whining I gave them something to help them whine.

I miss the rep function, it was fun to toss the green & the red around.

I guess the final score on rep is : whiners 1 & everyone else 0
Hey whiners :wave: , come over here for a minute ..... http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g202/gr8link/orn/dg.gif (heh heh heh) http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g202/gr8link/orn/aa.gif

Perhaps Mark can work his magic now and present us with a league table of who gave the most red and green (but not who they gave it too :eek: ) rep while it lasted?

Hey Daniel, if I could I would give you some green rep for that post.
It's always best to laugh things off. :laugh: :up:

[Caroline]

For what it is worth, I am glad that the rep system has gone but that wasn't always the case. I actually thought it was a great idea initially. But getting nasty messages most mornings mostly because of who I happen to live with was getting a tad dreary. It was an anonymous abuse/insult channel. I'm sad that it couldn't have been used more maturely. Perhaps it will come back, who knows?

[Ian McC]

mostly because of who I happen to live with

Who would of thought that so many people would of been jealous of you! :eek: :D

Perhaps it wasn't jealousy but a case of guilt by association ..... http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g202/gr8link/orn/dl.gif
