everyone grow up, who really cares if you get good/bad rep. someone abuses everything in life and its no different. you can choose to ignore it or accept it, try and control yourself then when you type, don't say anything bad about Ferrari and you'll be fine :p :
Andrea was and I hope still is, a fantastic moderator. I miss seeing her posts.Quote:

I think all the Moderators here do a fantastic job in the face of some difficult decisions.
I am now loving rep to respond with comments and ideas that might not be too relevant to a thread in general. Even if someone disagrees with me (Gannex ;) )
As for negative rep, I don't mind receiving it if it's warranted and constructive. However, it is useful to know who it comes from to understand why someone feels like that.
I've only given one negative and that was because someone got a thread closed because of some blatant Trolling and yes, I did sign it ;)
Usually, if I receive negative rep, it's just an insult with no way of knowing who it's from. Pretty meaningless really but all part of the rich tapestry of an open forum :up:
Absolutely! The character of this forum changed for the worse when she left.Quote:

Hazell B - Many of us think you would be a great and fair moderator. Are you saying that "If nominated, you would not serve?"Quote:

For the record, I wouldn't ban anyone, even Beans, just for the fun of it. I'd wait for them to dig themselves nice and deep into the poo first :p :
Hazell B - Your post proves my point, not yours. You recognize your areas of weakness (we all have them), and I'll bet you a nice tall Guinness that you would bend over backwards to be fair, something we're not seeing much of with the loss of Andrea.Quote:

It's kinda like jury duty, unless you admit to being prejudice to all races, there is no escape ;)Quote:
If you are nominated to become a moderator, you must do so.
I see this thread has managed to make it to 3 stars!
what a close race that poll is.
where do we bet?
I just hope that motor racing gives us some similar close racing this year.
Go JPM!!! :D
:s mokin:
Hysterical! :laugh: Jon Brow Brown - abso(you know)lutely hysterical! Brilliant!Quote:

Nice girl. Shame about her football team :mad:
Being of an enquiring mind (bloody noseache) I wonder whether anyone could enlight me as to the reason for her trip into the cyber void.
In short. Where Andrea?

[rant]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[/rant]
They probably just did it to wind you up, but hey it didn't work did it!Quote:

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.)
What you saying Stan? Someone is kidnapping all the female mods? :s hock: :robo:

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

Hardly a downer, unlike being barraged by negative rep, as some have been. So ban the reds and allow only greens!
what does it matter if you get bad rep???? people will rate you by your posts not by your so called "rep"....
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.
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."Quote:

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.Quote:

:mark:
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?Quote:
