I don't think thfcmad was abusing his power I do however think that everybody should be able to see who gives them rep. If we could see who gave us rep then it might cut down on all the neg rep for no reason. :2 cents:

Amen my friend !! :thumbsup:
 
I would agree to that if it were just Brino seeing it. I know he isn't a tight ass about his bad rep if he deserved it. But for MOST people that post here. You get a negative rep for a good reason and you start getting revenge.
 
The negative rep was never a big deal, i dont mind that per say, i just dont like being called a shithead for no apparent reason. lol oh well, its no big deal. im just sensitive... thanks guys
 
for the time that i have been here i didn't post much i just read the boards... and now i post alot i have got some good reps from alot of you thank you for them.i guess they can make you feel welcome when you get a good rep. and then maybe get you mad when you get a negative rep.. i did get one and they didn't leave a name and it did bug me beause i have no clue why he/she gave it to me. this is the one i got( you are a fool to support bannin innocent people)


if the person that gave me this rep please tell me how i support bannin innocent people.
i just want to know. and like i said it don't bother me. i just think you are going to leave a rep say who you are. i have a few that left there name with the reps.
 
The whole point of the rep system is the anonymity of it, surely. End of the day it doesnt affect anything important - not like more rep allows you into exclusive areas or anything like some forums.

I have got good rep with and without names, and the same for bad. My favourite was 'spamming shit', hence I have posted less in case more feel the same. Really though it doesnt bother me, and I just quite happily spam good rep to everyone in a thread as I know they like to get it :)

I think it would be very bad to see automatically who was giving it out though, as then you would just have some bitter neg repping going on, and serve to create little cliques on the board, in my opinion.

Oh well either way back to what this board is here for...

I support THFCMAD for naming jmgfour20. This member gave jizm bad rep and abused him by calling him a shithead. The guy has already been banned once for flaming when he insulted QBall and also made a nazi gesture.

As Jizm says, the bad rep is not the big deal but when people start calling you shithead, that's when it goes too far.
 
Maybe the threat of being named will curb some of the neg-reppers

I cant believe this has become such a talked about issue!!! LOL.
I think it's just human nature.Nobody complains when they get good rep.But when you get bad rep,it's like criticism.Some handle it well,some don't.I got my first bad rep yesterday.I don't really care about the points,but I would like to at least have the chance for rebuttal.They were correct in the fact that it was a repost and I appologize,but they were out of line calling me gay.I see pros and cons to both sides of this.c'est la vie.
 
I may be out of line, but how about going to the extreme and reconfiguring the software so that only good rep can be given. Some reasons:

1-This way, there is only positive reinforcement among the board members.

2-If anyone has anything to say about you in contrast to your opinion, they can either post on the board, or in a PM (which takes a more serious commitment than giving anonymous bad rep).

3-The outcome will be virtually the same as it is now, minus the hurt feelings. If you see someone with a high "rep status" you'll know that this person has been a positive influence on the board.

4-Bad rep points don't affect the point total anyway. These people usually have a rep power of 1 so if you get a bad rep, post something intelligent and you'll make it back.

5-Bad rep only flames people, causes entire threads where a lot of people vent about the idiots that give anonymous bad rep. And these idiots don't really get their point across, they just make others upset.

I don't know if this is a good idea, but it's an idea I put some thought into so I had to post it and see what others thought. Maybe good rep is best along with the bad rep. It's just not being used in a mature way as I'm sure it was intended. It's just some nutless attention whores going around neg-repping and waiting for a thread to pop up about them. That's their satisfaction.

The rep power is supposed to be for positive contributors, but it looks like it's the negative contributors that have the power.

:bowdown: Gets my vote - great suggestion. :thumbsup:
 
LOL FYI. Since we are naming names. I gave Famousbabes a bad rep point for his "Rofl" post. I didn't think that was a good post at all. Didn't contribute.

I got an in kind rep comment "go fuck yourself. guess who." from this thread. LOL

It looks like even the moderators can be childish.

go fuck yourself.. how's that


"Respect:
Treat other users how you wish to be treated. Respect others opinions and when there is a disagreement do not take it any further then necessary. Show respect to the board members/admins/newbies and you will receive it back."

So this rule does't apply if you are a mod? Just asking!!!!!!!!!!!!
