Agwiii, naming anyone who reps you, good or bad, isn't really in the spirit of the thing is it?
I'm sure Jon sends out plenty of good rep too. At least he signs it :up:

I'm slightly confused at the rep I was given for this post:
Now I'll admit the first part wasn't very funny, but still...Unfortunaltely I have no clue as to why rep was given because the rep-porter gave no reason.Quote:

Hadn't thought of that. Of course if you did, you'd be banned for using multiple names and it's hardly worth it!Quote:

Can you tell who sends rep to anyone and what colour it is? For example, could I PM and demand to know who red repped me and actually find out? If so, I think it wrong if the information is passed on. However, to use it to make sure somebody isn't downing somebody else would be okay I think.
In theory, yes. In practice, not at the moment as the control panel is broken.Quote:

Just the age-old adage of quality over quantity ;)Quote:

I disagree. Among other things, I object to the secrecy of the system. Mostly, I disagree with the existence of the system. It is like having a comfortable chair with a broken spring that pokes you in the ass. If the rep system was limted to people with your character, there would be no problems. However, its not. Look at Mark from Oshawa's situation -- thousands of negative points. This forum should be a fun place to discuss autosports with other fans. If someone wants to be polemic, then that often stimulates discussion. However, the rep system adds absolutely nothing to this forum, and only damages it.Quote:

Is making public a unilateral secret disparagement in the spirit of the forum? I think the rep system itself is not in the spirit of the forum because of the secrecy.
The beauty of the open forum is that you can -- within limits -- write whatever you wish, disagree with anyone -- or agree with anyone. It's very Lockean and democratic in operation.
Philosophically, the secret rep is anti-forum. So, back to your original question, I think that to a) not sign rep or to not identify secret rep to the forum is not in the spirit of things.
Your thoughts?
Fighting to try and get rep banned and then giving negative rep out in response to a joke is being slightly hypocritical dont you think agwiii?
Make your mind up.
I think you misread something, viperman, or have confused me with someone else.Quote:

Thanks - you show that you are a man of honor. I posted a positive for you and signed it with my SIG here.Quote:

My thoughts are that you can and should still post your thoughts in the open forum, just like before the relaunch. However, adding rep means you've also got the chance to express glee or horror another way. For example, it stops me posting loads of thread-clogging " :laugh: " posts when I find somebody funny. Some choose to send out bad vibes, and let them get on with it I say. If it makes them feel big and tough to bad rep somebody secretly, good luck to them. They are pretty sad individuals, and I somehow think they know that :laugh:Quote:

What's the chance of you, Mark, saying you can post either a list of who's sent what percentage of rep (eg. Hazell sent 50% positive and 50% negative during 2007) or that you will post a list of the people who've sent most to the least negative and positive rep (like the current who's gained what list)? Obviously you wouldn't post where any of it went.
Simply knowing the bad reppers will be shown for all to see would put some of them off I would hope.
Sounds like work, yet I have a feeling that just saying it can be done will put some of the petty ones off. Worth a try?

I think the best thing to do would be to reconfigure the rep system (if possible), so as to make it like the private messaging system. Where everyones name comes up regardless. That way if you get bad or good rep for any particular reason you can take it up with them and then possibly the mods. That would save all this open bickering about it. Because I have a feeling its staying anyway.Quote:

I think my idea would possibly be clearer, although Hazells may well be much easier to do.
Either way I think something may soon have to be done, as Ive said before Im not personally too bothered but it gets to the point where its unavoidable.
:laugh:
(you knew that was coming :dozey: )
I hadn't thought of that - it beats my idea by miles :up:Quote:

I'm not complaining about my rating, maybe I deserve, but I know for sure none of the others I've mentioned do.
On the flip side, check out the top repped people
RacingFanStan? Hazell B? Come on! Obvious forum favourites I see. Carl Metro? Dan? and Bezza? Are they 20 squares better than those I mentioned before? No.
In fact, I see most of them posting the sort of post likely to attract -ive rep. Me thinks they spend most of their time repping each other. Seems to me to very much a "club" of people constantly repping each other.
How can someone who has posted 20 times be amongst the best 20 members?
Where is the ranking thing?
Back to rep, someone has just negative repped me for the comments I made on the mobile phone driving thread in chit chat, all of which were completely legit and most of which were agreed with!
Oh and of course it was left unsigned.
Children :rolleyes:
UK v Australia thread in the f1 forum 20th January 2007 10:00 AM
this was the reason for the negative rep that i was given
We looked to find ONE POSITIVE thing you have written. Sorry, but you are just a nasty little prick.
isn't that funny or what
1-Make it compulsory for people to sign their REP
or
2-Remove the REP thing altogether
how do you see these results?Quote:

Are amongst the latest reasons. None of them had the courtesy to identify themselves.
If there is such a club then I certainly have not been included into it. So far I have given three positive and one negative reputation points out, all of which I signed and told the receiver why I gave that reaction. I also noticed for the first time this week that I've received several points, some have been signed, most have not. I can honestly say that it's not something I have taken much notice of, or made much use of so far.Quote:

I don't get the reasons for the reputation thingies. If I think someone has posted something good, or bad for that matter, I'll either tell them via PM or on the actual thread in question.
If someone wants to post a reaction to what I've said in the same way then that's fine by me, if they want to just click on a box and give me some sort of points without putting their name to it then so be it.
If I end up by the end of 2007 with -20,000 rep points then my life will still go on.
Sad that it was signed ok live on, but then again I guess I asked for it in a roundabout way :s
Somehow this post attracted negative rep :/Quote:

I thought that rep was a good thing. But it seems that it is causing lots of confrontation between the pro-rep allies and the anti-rep central powers . Maybe be we should use a rep system similar to the one in the Tentenths forum were only moderators and adim can give out negative rep ;)
