Seems to me like most people use the reputation feature for the dumbest reasons.
I.e. giving someone a negative rep because they like a band you don't.
I don't see the point in that honestly.

TRENCHLORD · 03-16-2012, 05:37 PM

I think you can turn the rep feature off if you like.

Personally I find it entertaining to see when decent logic and common opinion lead others to do what is essentially the same as writing bad things about you on the bathroom wall. lol

I don't see the point in that honestly.

Even looking at your current profile, I see that you have three positive reps and two negative. Most of the people who gave you rep gave you positive rep, and you haven't even been here a month. That disproves your point.

The average member gets more positive rep than negative over time, and it's been noted that no one has more rep than is deserved.

I suspect that you don't see the point in giving positive rep to those whom you've found knowledgeable or helpful, but that's the point that I find in the rep system. It's not about me, it's about acknowledging them.

TRENCHLORD · 03-17-2012, 01:45 AM

I've seen a fair number of rep abuse bannings of late, so the mods are obviously keeping an eye out for the douchbags (said while looking over my own shoulder lol).

Rap Hat · 03-19-2012, 09:44 PM

How does the little "rep comment" thing work? Like, when you hover over the rep bar it will say something. Is it based on amount or kind of rep? Mine went from from "Jewel in the rough" to "Will be famous soon enough", then back to "Jewel in the rough".

As an aside, do all positive and negative reps show up in your profile or are there situations where they won't? I tried to leave +rep for someone a while back and it never showed on their profile.

I tend to get negged for the dumbest shit, like when I said that I like killing my team mates in online video games, I was neg repped. All they said was "piece of shit".
What I want to know is: if they think I'm a piece of shit, what do they think of sex offenders?

Sicarius · 03-20-2012, 01:04 PM

bigger pieces of shit, probably.

I too end up with the same dumb reasons for neg rep.

I guess I haven't even been around long enough to get neg repped.

Wait - isn't this the How to tell New Forum Members thread?

Ah fergit it...

No wait -I got neg rep for xmas!

ZEBOV · 03-20-2012, 11:57 PM

Hey everyone! The poster above me doesn't have enough neg rep! Let's give him some!

Explorer · 03-21-2012, 02:40 AM

You know, I was tempted. *laugh*

Since you already got it in, I'll balance it right out.

Incidentally, I just learned that it's more valuable for me to give positive rep than thanks. Live and learn....

Indeed. Alas, thanking posts, while still nice, doesn't have the old school cred of rep, nor the constant visual cue of how much a person has.

Besides, let's face it, the green bar is analogous to e-peen; the longer, the better. And a gold-tipped one is the best.
