stopped looking at my reputation points cause i don't think i need to...
Precisely. If someone wants to give an opinion on what I post they can either be man/woman enohg to do so on the thread where the post is or via PMs. I don't see the need for another system which could easily be open to abuse and obviously upsets a few people in the process.Quote:

Interesting facts :
182 posters have positive reputation
46 posters have negative reputation
the rest of the posters have NO reputation (most are inactive)
I'm actually finding it quite useful looking at the feedback now.
Donks has pointed out that I stuck up for Ben when I didn't realise I was always at loggerheads and someone else pointed out that a post would make a good signature. As you can see, I agreed.
Have completely changed my mind on this rep thing and think it's great.
Can I just add that I find it useful to know who I'm getting feedback from so just include your initials please. Hopefully, letting people know you've repped them will be considered "forum polite" like writing in Caps is considered shouting.
As for Carls point, I don't like sending loads of PM's but find it obvious to send a quick rep to someone. (With a KO on, of course). Yeah, some people will abuse it I suppose but they will soon get bored. If someone posts a good reply that you agree with but cannot add to, why not give them a private :up: ?

I haven't changed my style or my opinion in the 4 years I have been on this forum, and yet all the sudden because I disagreed with a few select people, Iam a bad guy? I wanted to bring it to the people, and now we are having a vote.
Hey, I was buried in negative rep,and it didn't change what I said, but to those little children out there doing all the negative posts, I felt you had to be called out.
The really weird part is, I was all in favour of the rep system when it first started. One of my first posts on this new forum was to extoll its virtues, and then I promptly gave no rep to anyone for about 2 months!!!! I forgot all about it, and it was only by accident I looked to see where my points were, and I was -4200!!!
The Rep point system and how it works should be explained on a sticky note for everyone, and then let everyone go. Those who care about rep will do what they have always done, and those who could care less will ignore it.
If people thought I was whining, fine, but when I brought this up I was -4200 points and now Iam over 2000 points to the positive. Someone is agreeing with me more than disagreeing with me. I made my point....now everyone go back to sleep...

There will always be the little cliques on here that try to manipulate situations. However, reputations are not how many little greenies or reddies you get but how you manage yourself and respect others.
On that front, even if we don't always agree, you are right at the top mate. Just ignore the power-crazed on what is a pretty insignificant forum with no power or influence other than to provide a platform for discussion.
Quite funny really :D

Really, most of the people with neg points are not bad people either, I just think they didn't fall in with the cliques.. Exposing the cliques for what they are is really my goal. Hate cliqquy stuck up people who wont listen to other people's ideas.
Thanks for the pat on the back KO.....
If everyone did treat other's ideas with respect, rep would continue and not be dumped. Then those who wanted it would have it to look at and those who dislike it could just not bother at all. Agreed?Quote:

While I will happily admit to sending positive rep to two people knee deep in the red stuff (even though I didn't know either of them) I'm pretty sure 99% of the forum members won't just send negative out for the same reason. Maybe I'm wrong though.
Can't we just keep it and forget it if we wish, or use it if we wish?
Yes, I received some negative rep for my Bill O'Reilly thread. They gave some points I hadn't considered and were brave enough to tell who they were. I agreed with them, and can hopefully adjust my behaviour from now on.Quote:

Way too cool. This post got the intelligent remark of "flash this" and more points! I'm closer to my goal of -10,000 with -6,773!Quote:

I'm so depressed. Someone called me a drama queen :bigcry: Oh I can't take it any longer. I can't stand not being the most popular person on this forum. I'm leaving :laugh:
Thinking about it, while it's not so much a clique, there would be cases of rep being sent to somebody (anybody) just to 'spread it about' so that a favoured person can then be sent some over and over.Quote:

That's just a thought - NOT an attempt to enter said group or start one up by the way :)
Hazell B - yes, you are right, but "IF" is the biggest word in the English language.Quote:

Hazell, you are one of the most positve people on the forum.
You make intelligent posts & you are very likeable.
It should be apparent that you will receive a good bit of postive reputation. http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g2...k/thum/a1u.gif
I do like it when people who give me postive rep sign their "gift".
In gratitude I always return postive rep back to them, however I sometimes do forget to sign it.
As to negative rep, I don't care who they are.
If they are bold enough to sign it, they should realize I will get even. http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g2...k/orn/evil.gif
I send donkey points to favoured people over and over when I like their posts. I also "spread it about" to people I like (not just anybody :p : ), when I'm feeling amorous :DQuote:

As someone who has received Donkey points...it truly is an honour.....
Donkey, if people don't sign, you have way of truly knowing, but I always have an idea based on the time and by following the posts after....
That said, some give neg rep and don't post. Most people dont' sign....I do but I only give positive rep anyhow...
welcome to the clique :wave: :DQuote:

How the ruddy hell would you know about Bishops? :eek:
I don't :confused:
I've come across a few actresses though, as the bishop... nevermind :uhoh: :p :
Donkey if you are pulling a manure spreader behind ya, it is ok, it is still sweet smelling right?? RIGHT?????
OH my...what is that smell????
I'll keep setting them up, you keep knocking them in ;)Quote:

Hazell rules! :D
No offense, but she faaar too opinionated to be a moderator!
If Hazell became a moderator, I'd be banned in an instant!
Does Hazell want to be a mod or why is this under discussion? :)
For what it's worth, I never thought Pino would make a good moderator. I thought he was too biased and, well, just too crazy a member to ever become an effective supervisor. But I was very much wrong, and Pino is now certainly one of the best IMO. I guess it's really essential to...
- have a great interest in the topics discussed,
- be warm-hearted and generally well-disposed towards the fellow-forumers,
- have quite a lot of spare time.
Everything else can be learnt over time. ;)

I am surprised that Hazell isn't on top rung of the rep ladder, she is the best in my book ! :D
