Still, no real reason for giving out bad rep. :mad:
Now I've just got bad rep for complaining. :mad: I think I've got a member that's out to get me. :eek:
Anyone want to try and make a guess to who it is.
RR, if you have over 5,000 bad rep, my guess would be it is more than 1 person. :eek:
Well these are all coming at one per 'bad post' and I never seem to get more than one a day.
RaikkonenRules, you have to respect that kind of determination, even if it's something as silly as this. :D
It seems someone is either trying to cause a fight between me and RR or something because I got negative feedback from someone who had a bit of rep power even though I wasn't the one that negative repped RR. Ah well their problem not mine :crazy:
It must be several people because one person cannot keep sending another rep (good included) without sharing it among others aswell. You've got about three or four, at least, getting at you :p :Quote:

Looks like RaikkonenRules has taken the lead of the red brigade again. :eek:
He must have rattled the wrong cages. :eek:

Yes I got "RaikkonenRules loves you" as well as well as "need a tissue?" so it seems like there are either a couple of idiots who are giving out bad rep or there is someone with a duplicate account or two.
Time to remove the rep functionality altogether methinks. I don't see it as adding much value to this forum, other than stirring up controversy :mark:

I suppose if the function were to be used objectively I could live with it but from what I can gather from this thread it seems to have descended into an infantile ploy by people with the mentality of a pre pubescent amoeba to c*** off their detractors.
Bit sad really.
As you were
That's quite interesting. I wonder, young RR, how often you've sent red rep and not signed it? Perhaps some people feel you've sent it to them and are simply returning it ... just like you've admitted you do.Quote:

I still think you're far too worried about what's basically just a chicken trying to bolster their own ego by being mean and not admitting it. Glad I decided to stay out of red repping everyone and just enjoy the good stuff! You'll know when I disapprove of your posts - I'll say so openly like I do :D
It seems getting bad rep encourages giving bad rep .....
If someone gave bad rep & signed it they would be asking to receive the same back. :eek:
It is human nature to want revenge for a perceived injury. :eek:
The rep isn't shown on the forum with your posts as it once was ...
It really doesn't matter how much good or bad rep a person has ...
It is posted on the member's list but most people won't care to look.
Good point, I hadn't thought of that.Quote:

I see your point Hazell but I doubt anyone will sign bad rep.
It would be like wearing a sign that said "KICK ME" http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g2...ink/orn/00.gif
Um, but rep doesn't actually hurt like a size nine up your bum, does it? :D
I still say they're chickens for not putting their name to it :p :
Just had a thought :eek:
If anyone's recieved bad rep that is signed, please don't post who sent it - they'll be getting a load back (from those who bother sending it) for being honest!
I'm definately all for this rep thing to be locked up with the key thrown away, as I think I'm easily the biggest victim of rep abuse. :mad:
I say that it shouldn't be anonymous anyway. If you feel something warrants a comment and a rating, then you should stand by what you write.
Actually, maybe the system would work better if it promoted the idea of rating individual posts (since that is how you award rep after all) rather than being some kind of user-popularity score.
If the good and bed rep a post has attracted was shown with that post, for all to see, with a link to the comments (and who wrote them) it would probably stamp out most abuse of the system.
Then, a user's overall total could appear on their profile as it does now.
Well that confirms it then. There are definately some knobhead(s) that are abusing the rep system and are trying to play us agaisnt each other. :mad:Quote:

Perhaps modify the functionality to automatically display the username each time rep is given?... Would eliminate the need for "signatures" and aleviate the chickensh!ts who don't sign negative rep :mark:
To be honest, you could be making yourself a target because you have been quite vocal about it on here. :)Quote:

What a moron......
what a dumbass :rolleyes:
That's sad Daniel, you would have thought it could have been good rep instead of bad.Quote:

I'll send you some good rep to make up for someone's shortsightedness.
actually I don't believe it registers if you leave it on approve, you have to click disapprove first then approve again. because alot of boxes come up as neutral and I get those alot.
Hmmmmm, could be harv, I have gotten a goodly bit of neutral (gray) too.
Oh dear, what have I done. :(
RR and Daniel, I'm sorry! Went to a...well, a rather significant celebration yesterday and... well, you get the idea. :erm: Giving bad rep to the two guys who complain most about bad rep just seemed so amusing last night. :p : (Slightly less so, now. :uhoh: )
Thanks, Stan, for fixing it. No hard feelings, I hope. :wave:
:laugh:
No hard feelings of course. I've written down in my little black book that you have the guts to own up :p
Seriously though no hard feelings at all :)
I'd send you some rep, Daniel, but I need to spread it around first ;)
Now. Who to choose, who to choose.
:s tareup: ...scrolls back up through thread.... :uhoh:

I've gone from having a 'spectacular aura about me' to being infamous :(
