Twice I've had to give out + rep to people because someone has been having a laugh or just being rude and have given perfectly reasonable negative rep and the poor person ends up red squares and look like they're not a nice person.

When I saw that the new forum had a rep function I thought to myself that it was a good thing but sadly people don't seem to understand it and are abusing/misusing it. It seems to me that people aren't sensible enough to use the rep function in the way it was meant to be used :) If this continues to be the case I'm all for it going in the bin permanently.
:p

Says Daniel, the guy that gives me bad rep for apparently having no taste, at least I think it was him.

Yes you really are lovely when your drunk :p :

Well, my collection of the red stuff is heaping up to almost Olympic standard now :p :

Sadly, whoever sent the last blob doesn't know English very well :( It's not "Since your enjoying ...." it's "you're" ;) And I am, thank you :laugh:

Daniel, please don't take it so seriously. It's fun, nothing more. I don't judge those with masses of red or green squares as anything more than somebody who is noticed. Doesn't matter what they're noticed for, I'm still capable of making my own mind up about them and know the rest of us are too.

Don't know about anybody else, but I've handed out no red yet, and have no plans to start. I'd rather say what I think openly in a post if it's negative. Green is simply a way to smile as an aside, there's no cash alternative :p :

Yeah, I felt special when I had it too .....until I lost it this yr. :(

Oh... I was gonna ask...
Is there a way to see all of your rep comments or can you only see the last 5? I find that in the user CP but I dont see an option to see more.

Its a bit silly when I tried to give Hazell some rep just then and it said "You have already added to this users reputation, please give some other people before you add to this user again" or words to that effect.

So I can't give positive rep to someone I want to unless I go and give other people rep. That just incites me to give bad rep for average posts!!

Not only that, I have barely been around recently and last time I added to Hazells rep was about a month ago!

forum friends.
Just stop repping.
If you like what someone said (or don't) and want to express it, just post it in the thread - or do it more personally by sending a p.m.

like in the "olden days" but now with a much faster and cooler forum.



:s mokin:

I keep getting anonymous rep, some positive, mostly negative! When I give rep I always sign it BBB.

It's infamous English Good Rep Mafia, I tell you! Trying to crawl out from under the floor boards (where it belongs) and become a serious influence on forum policies. :hmph:

Beware, good fellow forumers, for the English Good Rep Mafia is a dangerous beast indeed. Only last week, three EGRM operatives were caught trying to sell bootlegged smilies to unsuspecting children near the Karting forum, according to a reliable source. Rumours of attempts to bribe Moderators with unwarranted words of kindness and praise are circulating in the Asia-Pacific, African & Middle Eastern Rallying forum. :s And now this. The *******s.. The *******s! :hmph:
