Minus Repping

[Zelda]

After speaking with loads of people, a lot of us seem to believe atm that -rep is just being abused now, and sorry scott no offence, but not really being dealt with properly half the time. For instance, Looking at the, "Me & J-Raviv" thread in habbo alterations, someone, not gonna name them, -reps everyone on the thread for "posting for post count" spitefully, and it doesn't even get removed from anyone who reports it. To be honest a lot of people including myself just feel that -rep should be removed as it only promotes spitefullness, and for Alex for instance, stops him ever going up a rep power cause someone just -reps him to keep him low.

Also, another point is we can't even remove it easily for non-vip people because we can't see who -reps us, which is rediculous, either get rid of the requirement for the name of who -repd and just work it out yourself if person can't give, or show it to everyone ;L

[Samantha]

In that thread it might be halas or j-raviv whose -repped you. However I do agree that should be looked into as I don't think many were posting for the sake then.

[David]

I'm pretty sure I got that thread closed like 2 weeks ago, if someone's went back and -repped in a closed thread that's just stupid.

I've reported a couple -rep in my time and they where both removed, not sure how they don't get dealt with - I think that too much rep gets removed tbh

[Kyle]

probs dbgtz -repping them looool

report the rep in the thread and it WILL be dealt with. admins haven't been as active recently so you will just have to wait. personally I never even bother getting -rep removed tbh

-rep should certainly not be removed.

[Zelda]

I'll pm u who it was since it werent either of them +

Kyle; na it odn't work all of us have tried reporting it , it just dont get read and just gets ignored :L always happens with teh spiteful ones.

[Samantha]

I think if it's pointless -rep it should. One time I got -prepped for answering a question correctly and he -repped me for spamming. It was really pointless and if its not then I'll leave it.

[AlexHenry]

I agree with this and I support Pipette fully. :)

[Zelda]

Yea, half the time people just -rep for stupid stuff, i'm constantly getting it, and it's just really pointless. Tbh the amount of things that ever deserve -rep are so slim these days, and all this "posting for post count" -reps that everyone gets these days, if people think it's a pointless post then report it, and if it was it'd probably have been edited by mods anyway :L

the thread was closed for pointless posting

[Empired]

I'm not a fan of -rep, especially as I think people with very little rep often get targeted and can't ever make it past 1 rep power. I'm not sure if stopping people from being able to -rep is the way forward, but it is annoying to constantly have to keep asking to remove pointless or unnecessary -rep.

[MKR&*42]

Not sure where I stand exactly on it being removed, I suppose I'm fine either way, but sometimes it is abused a bit - as Jan said, the J-Raviv + Halas thread is a perfect example of abuse, I was like "what the hell" when I'd been -repped for posting a comment lol (reason was for "getting my post count up").

[Red]

Well I think it does get abused as I know there is people who -rep just because they don't like the person *Removed* and says if I get it removed, he will keep doing it. LMAO So I think if a person is caught constantly -repping for the sake of it with no real valid reasons then they should be warned.

[Jordan]

Most -reps are given correctly I think, it's just they are so easily removed as well. I think there is nothing wrong for -repping someone because it seems like that user is posting to get their post count up.

[Empired]

Yeah, I've got loads of -reps for being "arrogant" or "rude" from the same person (won't mention who) when it's obvious that they haven't even read my post half the time (especially when I've posted a positive comment or my personal view when it's been asked for).

[Zelda]

Thing is that j-raviv one some of us have reported, nothing happens. And not gonna name who but got a few spiteful -reppers who -rep me a lot and i barely ever can get it removed, so like to know how it's supposedly so easy to get them removed.

[scottish]

Removing -rep will be the worst decision habbox has made since hiring Chris; as forum mod.

Removing it would make the reputation system completely pointless.

-rep for the suggestion.

I agree with this! It would make everything so much easier to just have the person warned than having to remove the -rep button completely (which I don't particularly want to happen).

[Zelda]

another thing just thought of, why can't it just be that if someone -reps someone spitefully enough times we just ban them form -reping that person? Would be a lot better tbh

I've just looked at the thread and I see most of the posts repeating what other people have said. That isn't against the rules but I am sure it is annoying for some users to have to read through the same point being brought up again and again. I can't comment on how they judge if a rep is pointless or not, and how they respond to a thread. But I am sure that Scott and Brandon know what is and what isn't and if it was really that pointless it would of been removed.

Using me as an example though, how does that apply to me as first poster .... not like i can tell that everyones gonna copy what i'm said and i'm gonna get -repd for it.

[Cerys]

I think the -rep system is abused often. I get -repped on a daily basis for no reason. The reason stated is usually something like 'shut your stupid mouth' (this -rep reason was given by a forum moderator) etc. When I reported all my pointless -rep, nothing was actually done as far as I'm aware.

This is probably a mad idea, but maybe its possible to get a new small dept or something, or more forum moderators, and all -rep is checked before the user actually receives it?

Seeing as more and more people are resigning from Habbox as it is, I doubt that Habbox could get enough people to open a whole new department! Plus, just checking -reps is far too small a job for one dept to do.. It would only need one or two people doing it and, anyway, having every -/+ rep checked before it being given would take forever :(

[scottish]

That's another stupid decision by :Cerys; lol.

A very minimal amount of reps given will be considered 'abusing the system'.

Yes cerys legend :) competely agree with that -rep should be checked before given, not sure if a depart is needed though, just maybe some unbiased person to do it. + ikr -rep is never really removed.

pretty sure all your -reps are probably legit.

removing the -rep would mean having to also remove the +rep. reputation is given (and taken) for quality of posts and if somebody has a problem with your post then they have every right to -rep you. people who get -reps removed are lame imo

[Red]

Valid -rep is fine but no one can deny that there are certain individuals who do abuse it. *Removed* (Y) They shouldn't be allowed to do it.

[Kasabian]

Didn't you 'spitefully' -rep Dave.

The majority of the rep has a purpose, it wouldn't be issued to you otherwise, just because you don't understand the one you received doesn't mean it's not pointless because the person that made it obviously has something wrong with the post you made.

You could continue reporting the reputation, or actually PM scott and brandon and see if you get a better response there.

But some people do get targeted and -repped all the time totally pointlessly, and getting it removed it only temporary seeing as more will be on its way very soon?

[Zelda]

Well that's a load of rubbish straight out of the horses backside in my opinion, do you seriously not know how many people give -rep saying stuff like, "I don't like you" , or "I'm -repping you cause you are ..." etc, people with high rep power are always -repping people with low rep power to stop them getting up, plenty of examples of people who suffer from that if you ask around.

[Jordan]

But some people do get targeted and -repped all the time totally pointlessly, and getting it removed it only temporary seeing as more will be on its way very soon?

Then when you report the rep, tell them that it's a common problem and they are targeting you. How would we know that it's continuing to happen without you letting us know.

[Kyle]

people will only be 'targetted' by a lot of users if theyve made a bunch of stupid posts. if it bothers you so much then just disable rep

[David]

Didn't you 'spitefully' -rep Dave.

yes she did, in a very distasteful manner

[Zelda]

yes she did, in a very distasteful manner

No i had a good reason for that, you were taking the piss out of the speed dating event sam did, and i know for a fact she worked very hard on that and recieved tons of abuse for it, and it's not fair in the slightest to give her further abuse for it, after all it actually worked quite well tbh.

[SackRace]

I agree with this, and people -repped me for doing a cnb annoucement one day ffs ;l

In all honesty, if you take reputation that serious on this forum then you really need to think again. Why do you need high reputation, why do you worry that you might never reach a certain number?

So, you -repped him for having an opinion about an event and you claim thats a good reason?

All minus reps are given as an opinion, so by your logic they should remain in place. -rep for pointless posting/post count, is valid IMO.

Sorry but is that meant to be some kind of insult? Coming from someone whos always sticking up for their department and just assuming they are always right about everything, that is really quite rich, just because catzy and chris have left doesn't mean you need to now become the new power hungry smod who just assumes that everything that their depart does is correct and shouldn't be questioned. Just consider how on earth it is fair that people can just -rep people they dislike with no valid reason, surely it's them who are taking the reputation too seriously anyway not the people reporting it.

+ Kasabian; no cause he was actually being rude to someone? Pretty sure forum rules state that you aren't meant to be rude to other staff and put down stuff they do without valid reason ....

[scott]

you say you have reported LOADS and it's never been dealt with, you have made 2 threads reporting reputation and both of them have been sorted. You are also the only person that has reported any kind of rep that had the reason 'trying to get post count up' as far as I'm aware so I do not understand why you're saying everyone reported it when it was just yourself.

If someone continues to abuse the reputation system by reissuing -reps that have been removed then they do get warnings regarding it.

I don't recall him tagging Samanfa in it? I don't recall him naming her name? I just remember him mentioning an event. Don't forget that he could have been talking about one of the hosts in the game it's self, as there was more than one.

He badmouthed an event, not a person specifically, therefore he wasn't rude to staff.

Jan I think you need to calm down whether you're right or not now.. Nobody's going to take the -rep button away and there's nothing you can do but respect that..

[geo]

Jan, I think you're taking minus rep a little bit too far. It doesn't really matter at the end of the day and you're just taking it to heart because you want your rep power to go up lol. Think you need to calm down and not worry if you're repped or not.

Oh, and you're making yourself look a bit silly now. :(

Not me personally as loads, oops if i said that, but i meant in general, people have been saying when asked that they get tons of it that is just constanlty ignored, + yes you say you have sorted it, but it still remains and i refuse to believe that both of them are worthy of not being removed, can maybe understand georgias one but the other?

Assuming I'm always right? Please. I'm trying to let you know that there isn't anything wrong with the current reputation system and report method. The only pointless reputations I can see valid for removal are rude ones, or targeting ones that are purposely being given to reduce count. I can't see this happening to many people, and if it was I am sure they have been reporting it correctly as no problem has been noticed. You are making a thread with a problem with someones opinion that you dislike, that is common in life and I don't see that it should be removed because you don't agree with what someone else see's.

Doubt you would be saying that if you had a person with a high rep constantly -repping even your good and constructive posts.
As for Tom and Dave, loads of your posts were rude and unnecessary in the staff forums. Hence why Mathew's reply received a lot of plus rep.

[Kyle]

it would seem that some people are jumping on the bandwagon with you about pointless -reps but when it comes down to it haven't even bothered to follow through in terms of actually reporting them. if you want a pointless -rep removedtehn report it and argue your case adequately.

maybe don't post stupid things or be rude to others then?

anyway, why does it matter that much? it's rep, boohoo. i've got loads of pointless rep and it doesnt bother me.

anyway, why does it matter that much?

I love you.

OT: As I said earlier, I'm not fussed. Sometimes it's abused but it's hardly going to change your life lol.

I agree some pointless rep is given and that should be removed but someone's pointless rep to you might be different to a pointless rep to them.

Perfecto, in all honesty rep is rep, if some one -reps you and you don't like it. Tough. Every one has different meanings of what pointless rep is. I mean you can't go around going "why the heck did you -rep me blah blah blah" but you should take a min to review your own post to see what they could be on about. Every has different sights of what - repping is about, can't exactly limit some ones freedom of opinion.

Besides if a rep was pointless all you do is report it. Don't like -repping don't post. Simple

because your posts are idiotic and you deserve to be in red rep

how about for every -rep u want removed we'll get a pointless +rep removed too. i wonder if that'll change anyone's opinions about rep. i'm pretty sure +rep is way more pointless than -rep :)

No -rep is half the users rep points, +rep is all.

Shows you put little thought into the suggestion and this thread is more of a QQ thread than legit suggestion.

[Kasabian]

I really don't get why you're arguing to **** over what you deem 'pointless' minus rep. If it was a indeed a pointless minus rep, it would have been dealt with. Fact.

Here's a small selection of my minus reps received over the years;

*Removed*


Majority of these are pointless, yet I don't care much about rep to go out of my way to get them removed. Like Jordan has already said, if you care that much about reputation points on an online forum, you really need to think again.

If they give up reporting it then nothing will be done because it's not being reported. So what are you now arguing exactly?

How do you know there was 20 -rep in that thread?

20 is a rough estimate , though from what georgia has told me jen -repped all posts in that thread, so it should be around 20 if this is the case. + the point with the non reporting stuff was just to prove the point that there is more going on than is reported, but they've just given up cause they just continually get it, and there's no point them getting it removed cause they only get a new one without a few days.

[Cerys]

I don't get what you are saying? If that is happening you report it...

---------- Post added 22-04-2012 at 01:15 PM ----------



PM Scott then, and if nothing gets done keep doing it.

Hm, it was scott who actually responded to the actual report thread, but he didn't do anything - or he didn't tell me he did anything.

how do you know they've given up due to constant -reps? maybe they just dont give a **** about -rep unlike you

There isn't anything to discuss here. If the users that receive the -rep thats targeting them or rude does not report it, it wont get removed. Why are you arguing this. If it constantly happens to them every 7 days with a similar reasons then when you go to report it let them know it's targeting. Nothing will get done if you don't tell anyone.

um you told me she -repped everyone :S

altho i already knew. don't you think it's a little silly now jan.
you've cried your river, now lets build the bridge and get over it.

[Lewis]

I agree, lots of people don't use the -rep tool properly. I have a -rep for my post here:
http://www.habboxforum.com/showthread.php?t=731941&p=7383865#post7383865

and all they said was 'boring' :(

I don't report any false -reps if I get any because it doesn't really bother me lol. So yeah..

excuse me i'm allowed to -rep who i want for a legitimate reason and that system should be ANONYMOUS even if you have VIP. i don't go out handing -rep very often so no it isn't pointless and i -repped because most the people there had been pointlessly posting all throughout the posting competition and not giving critical comments. also, pippete i'm pretty sure i've pointlessly +repped you before and i don't see you complaining about that? & you complain that pointless -rep is being given out yet you all revenge -rep me for no reason other than i did it to you even though in my opinion it was justified.

complain all you want about 'pointless' -rep but would you do it for all the +reps your friends have given you over the past? no didn't think so *Removed*

I'm trying to argue that there needs to be something done about it, at least either warn them, infract them, or give them a ban from -repping the person if they constantly abuse the -rep system with the person.

if anyone -rep's people like :Cerys; and Pipette; they always -rep back, so that's not pointless?

U had no reason to -rep me tbh, my post was not in the posting competition, and it was also first post so was not reiterating other peoples posts, can understand u -repping some of the later ones especially ones like elliots, but the first couple is rediculous. Also i said earlier in thread that i would gladly submit to a system of a pointless +rep being removed at same time as a pointless -rep if need be, as if anything that is the most fair system that could be employed. Don't quite remmeber u pointless + repping me but if you say so anyway.

[Zelda]

Right tbh I only ever created this in the first place to suggest tougher rules on -repping, and this is getting out of hand. End of arguement tbh.

[The Don]

The Rep system is fine how it is. I haven't received a -rep for months, and when I did, it was because I was being a ****. In that thread, most of the people were pointless posting so the person who -repped had every right to do so. As Dave mentioned, the thread was closed for pointless posting as well, so the argument does hold some ground. The -Reps should not be removed unless you actually gave some CC. The Admins are doing a perfect job, everytime I've had a silly -rep, they have removed it within 48 hours, although it's usually quicker than this...

---------- Post added 22-04-2012 at 03:09 PM ----------


I've had loads of rude and targeting -reps, and like I said before, some rude ones have been given to me from forum moderators. I reported it, and as far as I'm aware, it hasn't been removed.

The -Reps are probably justified, and if not, there is always the report tool if you believe you are being unfairly targeted by staff members...

I haven’t read the past 10 pages which are full of arguments as unfortunately I don’t have that much spare time. I haven’t been part of that argument either and I’m pretty sure I’m entitled to post my opinion in a feedback thread, cerys… I’m 100% certain that if someone –repped you and left a message saying “-Rep for being you” then it would dealt with immediately, let’s not pretend that it wouldn’t be.

Firstly, OP didn't ask for CC, therefore it's not a requirement so that's bloody rubbish. Most people post in gfx forum in the hope of praise not critisism anyway. 2ndly, it was closed down because the thread held no value as it werent an alteration, not cause of pointless posting.

+ anyway the arguement is over so you can stop it now.

[FlyingJesus]

After speaking with loads of people, a lot of us seem to believe atm that -rep is just being abused now, and sorry scott no offence, but not really being dealt with properly half the time.

"Loads of people" meaning the unpopular people who receive a lot of -rep I assume


Well I think it does get abused as I know there is people who -rep just because they don't like the person

Perfectly valid. I don't think people understand what rep actually is - it's a form of user moderation allowing us to reward or punish other members (albeit in a small way that doesn't really make much difference) for their activity. Also consider that rep is short for reputation, and obviously someone just not liking you DOES impact your reputation just like people who do like you will impact it in a more positive way. With the amount of friendly crackjuice dribbling from the lips of most staff members it's extremely reasonable to assume that most of you +rep each other all the time for being friends, which is fine, but you shouldn't then suggest that -repping for not being friends is a bad thing.


Yes cerys legend :) competely agree with that -rep should be checked before given, not sure if a depart is needed though, just maybe some unbiased person to do it. + ikr -rep is never really removed.

No-one is unbiased, and no rep is invalid. Ridiculous idea


people with high rep power are always -repping people with low rep power to stop them getting up

lmao this definitely does not happen and has not happened since early 2007 when admittedly we did actually do this for laughs. It may well be that you've made an enemy of someone with a higher rep power than you (not really difficult is it...) but that is not justification for this statement. You are wrong, the entire premise for this thread is wrong, and everyone is free to rep whoever they like however they like.

I’ve never be involved in an argument in this thread, just stating my opinion. – Rep for trying to stop me from expressing my opinion. It doesn’t matter whether or not the original poster asked for CC, That means that yes, the rules allow you to do it, be that doesn’t mean you are protected from people –Repping you for it because that’s silly, if you can’t have the decency to take an extra 10 seconds and add something constructive to your post, you deserve to receive –rep for it to be frank.


Aw, but unfortunately it wasn't sorted! Such a shame isn't it hun xx

-Rep to you too, Cerys, for being patronising with your “hun xx” comment. I do not believe that if you reported the –Rep correctly and waited patiently, it wasn’t removed. I know Brandon would remove it as soon as he saw it, and I’m sure the other admins would do the same, so either you’re misinformed, reported it incorrectly, or are lying to make your point have some value.

I added a constructive post which was obviously against your opinion, so you told me not to continue posting. It was fully justified, you telling me not to continue posting however, wasn’t.

[buttons]

for the love of god PIPE DOWN

u guys are lucky. you lost like 15 rep points which is easily regained as you've already said Pipette;. pointless +rep used to be removed by the hundreds. people had higher reputation power and thus when -repping you would lose more than you do now. i have pages full of -rep from when i first joined and i've got a high reputation now so it CAN be achieved but you can't expect to only have +rep. you get more pointless positive rep than you do negative. seriously it used to take forever to get 6 green blocks and now i see staff who rarely post have it... you obviously all +rep each other so why even complain... all you're doing now is showing people how much you dislike -rep and obviously they're gonna carry on doing it because they know it annoys you

[dirrty]

there's no way i'm reading 10 pages of drivel, don't even mention it so idgaf if what i say has already been mentioned (it most probably has but whatever). it's only -rep. if it's pointless, report it. if it's not removed after that, then i'm sure if you're really that bothered then you could attempt at arguing your case to get it removed. if not, then move on. i rarely -rep if i disagree with someone (last time i -repped someone was march 2011) and i've received pointless -reps since then but generally not bothered so i don't report it or 'revenge' rep. if the problem is that loads of people are -repping someone for whatever reason, then that said person could always just report the reps and argue that it falls under the targeting other members rule - but even so, if it's pointless and unjustified, then it'll get removed regardless of the amount.

seriously, i know it's a sunday n all, but 11 pages over something where the outcome is basic knowledge (and pretty straight forward) is rather blah. go sip some tea or something

As I said when I first posted, I didn’t read the past 10 pages, only the first post. I didn’t argue at all, are you reading through these posts, it’s you that is arguing, I’ve clearly said that I don’t want to, yet here you are again. It was getting silly? Because people were disagreeing with you? You do understand this forum is used for constructive posts, which usually have two arguments, for and against, if one side outweighs the other, that doesn’t mean stopping anyone who disagrees with you from posting, that’s ridiculous. If you reply again, I will take it that you are posting to cause an argument and report your post, so please, either VM or PM me, or create a thread in spam so that this thread isn’t full with this silly, childish argument.

not going through all that crap, just man up.

[beth]

oh my god yes here we go.


I think the -rep system is abused often. I get -repped on a daily basis for no reason. The reason stated is usually something like 'shut your stupid mouth' (this -rep reason was given by a forum moderator) etc. When I reported all my pointless -rep, nothing was actually done as far as I'm aware.

This is probably a mad idea, but maybe its possible to get a new small dept or something, or more forum moderators, and all -rep is checked before the user actually receives it?

all yr -rep is perfectly valid. to be honest if i had the memory i would -rep you once a week because yr posts are pointless in every extreme.


pretty sure all your -reps are probably legit.

removing the -rep would mean having to also remove the +rep. reputation is given (and taken) for quality of posts and if somebody has a problem with your post then they have every right to -rep you. people who get -reps removed are lame imo


Sorry but is that meant to be some kind of insult? Coming from someone whos always sticking up for their department and just assuming they are always right about everything, that is really quite rich, just because catzy and chris have left doesn't mean you need to now become the new power hungry smod who just assumes that everything that their depart does is correct and shouldn't be questioned. Just consider how on earth it is fair that people can just -rep people they dislike with no valid reason, surely it's them who are taking the reputation too seriously anyway not the people reporting it.

+ @Kasabian (http://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=20984); no cause he was actually being rude to someone? Pretty sure forum rules state that you aren't meant to be rude to other staff and put down stuff they do without valid reason ....

rep is an opinion not some kind of rule system, i don't see why just because you deem it has no reason that anyone else would deem it pointless.


you say you have reported LOADS and it's never been dealt with, you have made 2 threads reporting reputation and both of them have been sorted. You are also the only person that has reported any kind of rep that had the reason 'trying to get post count up' as far as I'm aware so I do not understand why you're saying everyone reported it when it was just yourself.

If someone continues to abuse the reputation system by reissuing -reps that have been removed then they do get warnings regarding it.

hahahahahha owned.

omg this is great drama. jordan's a fantastic mod though. much prefer jord to chris.


Thats valid rep though. I'm talking about when users are constantly targeted by people with a high rep power just because they don't like them.

it hasn't been that way for a long time, but in fairness there are reasons people have higher rep power than others and they have earned the right to use them as they will. i very rarely -rep (i cba).


I've had loads of rude and targeting -reps, and like I said before, some rude ones have been given to me from forum moderators. I reported it, and as far as I'm aware, it hasn't been removed.

you deserve it.


excuse me i'm allowed to -rep who i want for a legitimate reason and that system should be ANONYMOUS even if you have VIP. i don't go out handing -rep very often so no it isn't pointless and i -repped because most the people there had been pointlessly posting all throughout the posting competition and not giving critical comments. also, pippete i'm pretty sure i've pointlessly +repped you before and i don't see you complaining about that? & you complain that pointless -rep is being given out yet you all revenge -rep me for no reason other than i did it to you even though in my opinion it was justified.

complain all you want about 'pointless' -rep but would you do it for all the +reps your friends have given you over the past? no didn't think so *Removed*

love jen.


Mm, -reps such as '-repping for being you' is really justified.
I'm pretty sure this argument just came to a stop, anyway?

pretty sure that is completely justified.


"Loads of people" meaning the unpopular people who receive a lot of -rep I assume



Perfectly valid. I don't think people understand what rep actually is - it's a form of user moderation allowing us to reward or punish other members (albeit in a small way that doesn't really make much difference) for their activity. Also consider that rep is short for reputation, and obviously someone just not liking you DOES impact your reputation just like people who do like you will impact it in a more positive way. With the amount of friendly crackjuice dribbling from the lips of most staff members it's extremely reasonable to assume that most of you +rep each other all the time for being friends, which is fine, but you shouldn't then suggest that -repping for not being friends is a bad thing.



No-one is unbiased, and no rep is invalid. Ridiculous idea



lmao this definitely does not happen and has not happened since early 2007 when admittedly we did actually do this for laughs. It may well be that you've made an enemy of someone with a higher rep power than you (not really difficult is it...) but that is not justification for this statement. You are wrong, the entire premise for this thread is wrong, and everyone is free to rep whoever they like however they like.

this all this i agree.


Aw, but unfortunately it wasn't sorted! Such a shame isn't it hun xx

for the love of god PIPE DOWN

u guys are lucky. you lost like 15 rep points which is easily regained as you've already said @Pipette (http://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=88462);. pointless +rep used to be removed by the hundreds. people had higher reputation power and thus when -repping you would lose more than you do now. i have pages full of -rep from when i first joined and i've got a high reputation now so it CAN be achieved but you can't expect to only have +rep. you get more pointless positive rep than you do negative. seriously it used to take forever to get 6 green blocks and now i see staff who rarely post have it... you obviously all +rep each other so why even complain... all you're doing now is showing people how much you dislike -rep and obviously they're gonna carry on doing it because they know it annoys you


there's no way i'm reading 10 pages of drivel, don't even mention it so idgaf if what i say has already been mentioned (it most probably has but whatever). it's only -rep. if it's pointless, report it. if it's not removed after that, then i'm sure if you're really that bothered then you could attempt at arguing your case to get it removed. if not, then move on. i rarely -rep if i disagree with someone (last time i -repped someone was march 2011) and i've received pointless -reps since then but generally not bothered so i don't report it or 'revenge' rep. if the problem is that loads of people are -repping someone for whatever reason, then that said person could always just report the reps and argue that it falls under the targeting other members rule - but even so, if it's pointless and unjustified, then it'll get removed regardless of the amount.

seriously, i know it's a sunday n all, but 11 pages over something where the outcome is basic knowledge (and pretty straight forward) is rather blah. go sip some tea or something

love akeem, love jen. people who actually understand how a forum works.


this thread is jokes. people should be allowed to rep +/- whoever they want, whyever they want. i don't care man. FREEDOM *+*+*

[FlyingJesus]

Lesbians do (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_GBJXYIfVc). Anyway yeah just out of interest what are the current restrictions on repping like how many days or how many other people you have to rep or w/e

[beth]

it's a week and 10 a day i think.

[Samantha]

I thought it was like 15 a day cos when I repped people on threads I think I had to stop on 2nd page.

[beth]

THE WEEK IS TOO LONG.

[dirrty]

i only ever hit the limit if i'm asking ppl for help in a thread and ppl answer. otherwise i rep like 2/3/4 times a month lmao, oop i'm being far too stingy

[dbgtz]

Can't you just opt out of rep and have the black bar which means nothing?

[David]

definitely more than 12 per day, that's the highest ive been in 24 hours.

[Chippiewill]

Leave -rep as it is, it's far too easy to get removed in the first place.
