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.Quote:

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

Stupidity is unlimited. Even these two fools can't push me past -10,000. :laugh:
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.
The little rascal :monkee:

Ah, the "Forum Fool," or "Rep Abuser" has (attempted) to strike again. This time, he is into the red and wrote that he is a "redneck."Quote:

I'm with you on this one, Daniel! As to why, I'll PM my theory about that to you. I am afraid we're going to be stuck with the "Forum Fool."Quote:

Hey! I get the same charming stuff sent to me. At the same time. It's very enlightening.
Edit: To whom it may concern: Thanks but no thanks. Nice suggestion though ;)
Well...here is a snap shot of my rep and the responses.
Little E and Teresa on... 29th January 2007 05:59 PM dumass
where are they now? 29th January 2007 06:21 AM
Referrals and Top Ten... 28th January 2007 12:20 PM Green or grey? I'm the 3rd worst now! Grayson
Rep 27th January 2007 05:04 AM Respect for this - Daniel :-)
The Chase has just... 26th January 2007 11:37 PM fulla crap
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 :Quote:

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.....
Mark, let me ask you somenthing : why don't you just ignore the rep thing or even better, why don't you disable it from your profile ? ;)
Is it possible?
Rep 1st February 2007 10:08 PM thanks for giving me Rep, ashamed there are some asses out their - Harvick#1 Finally some good rep and not attacks.
Cheers Harvick#1 :up:
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 :)Quote:

Sorry Guys I meant displaying the rep :) but I guess that won't help much...
You can still read the comments written to you Pino?Quote:

Well I'm not at all curious :) Though thanks to the person who sent me some green rep :)

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.
I can see your point 100%, yet somehow I still like the system despite it's flaws.
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:
I don't remember sending any to anybody recently... must have been the goldfish again :dozey:Quote:

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.
Repetitive (see what I did there :p : ) posts being one :rolleyes:Quote:

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.
peace
