i think you guys take this whole rep thing too serious. the vote up/down in the post doesn't count against your karma i thought? only the actual karma button (scales) actually meant anything? as far as negative marks goes. aka you can give+rep on both but only the scales can give negative karma. imma look at my own karma, and if you know me, then you know i've got lots of people who press unhelpful on the shit i write off GP. my shit should be fulla red dots...

i don't see anything... you?

Neg rep doesn;t show up there but you can see how many times someone (including yourself) has been neg repped by checking their (or your) profile.

So lets say they have maxed out their karma but have got "1000 good rated posts out of 100,000" or whatever, that'd mean they've given out good advice but probably mostly by chance ;-)

If you awarded a point each time a broken clock says the right time you just need enough time (or in this case posts) and eventually you can get high rep despite being wrong.

Apparently people agree with you ~2/3rds of the time which isn't at all bad when you've made so many posts :tiphat:

I hope to be as popular if I get "survivor" status lol

I could see being limited to say...
3 neg reps a day as a useful way to keep people
that are just plain negative under control...

I think you can +/- what 12 times a day ?... Something like that....
Im assuming the neg reps are limited at the
same amount as positive reps are...

You may not vote on any more threads today


Though I think it's really just that we call them neg/pos that bugs people...

Agree/Disagree might feel better but means the same thing...
Dank/Bunk...
Awesome/Not so much.... I like those options myself....




Peace...AD....

Neg rep doesn;t show up there

yeah it does, trust me this is the same place red dots show up. the reason i don't have any (visible*) is cuz i'm awesome. *and cuz i get far more positive karma.**


**also cuz i'm awesome lol

we should really ask skip, but i was quite certain when he introduces the thumbs up/ down people had these same complaints and he said that you can only neg rep with the scales.

editI can't vote down on the scales, I apparently it's because I'm not a senior member, so yeah I retract this :p

I didn't think you could actually reduce someone's reputation but you can lower their helpful:unhelpful ratio which is what I thought we were talking about, sorry if that wasn't what people meant.

I'd like to see what happened if you went down slightly, just because I wonder what the rank below Clarence is :p

11 red bars is Clarence.
maybe 10 is "tickle-me clarence" or "Elmo-impersonator"

I'd like to see more custom bars
Sinc[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]e Stonefree69, hank hemp and Tudo[/FONT] earn a lot of rep from the funny picture thread maybe thier dots could be replaced with lolcats? ;-)
Just so people could see thier specialist area.

Trolls go on my ignore list, but they are still able to neg rep me. I say keep the neg rep, otherwise the trolls would loose their f'ing minds if they couldn't flame.

^^^^^^^ TRUE THAT! What the hell would they do all day if they didn't have the neg rep button. My guess would be going to sit in a school book depository center with a loaded gun! Keep the neg rep button we don't need that to happen again. Lol

I LIKE IT.
you know that there is a differnce between negrep and unhelpful answer rating... RIGHT? negrep is given via the little balance symbol on the other side of the post

yall need to quit complaining about the site.
love it
or
LEAVE it
keep downvoting that first post... up to 30 now.

i think it would be fun to have a "most downvoted" section, just funny to see the most downvoted posts on the site, im sure some are HILARIOUS.

I get frustrated when I want to neg rep somebody's sh1T and forget to use the scales and just hit no. I like this way because you can neg them 2 times Lol.

the rep system proliferates egocentrism.
eliminate selfserving pomposity and confront reality thereby preserving stature...

it's not so much what others think, but what you do that defines ones character.

..or just have fun with it. I meet many cool peeps through rep. Just another networking tool. AND...I enjoy my neg rep...keeps me balanced out...or I might think I walk the water. This is funny shit.
