Well a couple of knobheads (or just one methinks) gave me negative rep last night again for no real reason. To me it looks like someone has duplicate logins because I always seem to get 2 loads of negative rep usually less than an hour apart.
Hopefully some fool is going to earn themselves a ban soon :)
Damn, I just wanted to give Dan some bad rep for being such a fool but have to spread it around for a while now. :D :devil:
It'd be good if we could send that repper a PM, s/he can stay anonymous if s/he wants but I'd like to ping some feedback back to where it came. Understood? :confused:
Yes I can see your deep in the red, looking at the members list in order of rep i'm 2nd worst behind Grandam, slight improvement as I was the worst. :DQuote:

It's not that serious :)
I'm not bothered by it, really. It's just irksome that people can insult you anonymously.
Hey BBB, just so you know I have never given you negative rep.Quote:

I think a lot of the negative rep is a result of the removal of the green leafs.
People were disappointed that they were removed.
I send negative rep only to people who are spamming the forum or say something really stupid.
I send positive rep to anyone who makes a good point. :D
I usually sign my rep too, the anonymous part is a bad feature IMO.
It's like what BBB says :) I'm not bothered that people don't like me and I'd be somewhat scared if I suddenly became forum favourite because I don't aim to please the masses. I'm bothered that people can swear at me for no good reason or try to irritate me anonymously. I personally don't care what most people think of me. I just don't like that people have turned it into.Quote:

I just don't get why people are so childish and moronic. I've given people I have had big disagreements with rep because they make a good point. I'm not going to be like others and hold a grudge against someone and try to cause them grief. Credit where credit is due I say :up:
I got negative rep a few weeks back, the reason was "Filled with hate".
I laughed. Its quite funny how some people take things too personally.
:laugh:
Toady some lousy so ana so gave me bad rep appartley for posting just to boost my post count. :angryfire : It's wasn't as if the 20 or so posts I made at Christmas were filled with rubbish I just had alot to talk about then. :mad:
I haven't bothered with this repping thing yet. On other forums I rarely bother to do negative rep, only ever do positive :)
I expect it's been sent by some people for less - at least it beats the laughable "because your enjoying rep so much" I was sent by some sad person ;)Quote:

I must confess I was a bit non plussed however when I discovered that some sensitive soul had given me a big fat negative for stating that the England cricket team should have their collective trousers set alight.
"Disgusting" was the term used to describe my rather well thought out suggestion.
Now if he'd been making an obsevation about their performances thus far in The Ashes I could understand it.
Ag ag aga ag ag ag ag etc
Hehehe :p
Come on Oily you know that it's in your blood to lose ;) Don't be telling me that my hybrid South African/Australianness doesn't mean I'm more genetically able to win. :p
I got a 'Digusting' too Oily, for suggesting that I would sell my dog for beer.
I sold my dog for beer once.Quote:

Dan. I wouldn't say your somewhat mongrel racial mix would have any effect other than to give you a predispostion towards burning down townships whilst whistling waltzing Matilda ;)
Now if you'll excuse me I've got to put the Crimbo tree back into the b******d attic :mad:
Not bliddy likely!Quote:

Thanks anyway!
After a quick look at my conciderable reputation, i've noticed that 3/4 of them have come from posts in this very thread. :)
It's not very clear at all.Quote:

Because "CALLOFDUTY05" is probably a moron, he can't give as much reputation as "ChampionLLY" because "ChampionLLY" is probably quite useful and not a moron :)
Ah, all is clear.
Plain English :up: Thanks.
(The fact that I didn't even look at the rep and realise I could work it out for myself, because I'd decided the whole thing looked too techie won't get another mention, eh? :laugh: )
So it's as Daniel said, we more when we're flush and less when we're broke. Good.
What he said. I should have just said to look at the forum more than the posts if that makes sense :)Quote:

Inquiring minds want to know!
It is unclear how rep is tallied or how many points = green pages. :s
It is kind of a mute issue as the green pages have been hidden away in the member's list. :s
I think we should just leave the whole topic alone. It's obviously some form of dark magic and we shouldn't meddle.Quote:

I only have 1100 or so points. :( I used to have over 1900 but then some idiots gave me bad rep and see what happened. :mad:
I know one guy who has 1337 points... http://www.thelab.gr/images/smilies/hehe.gif
Burn him! He's a witch!Quote:

Some confusing ones as well, got a positive mark but negative comment from some other user!
Well obviously at least you know that you're above that spineless fool :)Quote:

You get points, both good and bad, on a sliding scale dependant on how many points the sender has. If you have loads of green, you give stronger rep with higher points. If you have no good rep, or all bad rep, you can't give good rep I don't think. Hence the grey stuff.
Rep is not a limited resource, so far.
If you send somebody rep after exchanging PMs on the subject (in the hope of working out how it works between red and green) they become a loser and do not fulfil their part of the bargain. Rep is therefore liable to make the friendless even more lonely :)
Am I sounding about right?
No, just confusing :crazy: :p :Quote:

if you can't turn the points into cash, there isn't much point in worrying about them at all.
I dunno, I have 45 :DQuote:

Even more lousy rep. This time for making a joke about a 72 year old entering the Daytona 500. :(
RR, it must have been a BAD joke ! :laugh:
