That was fixed, by the way. The comment is still there, but the rep point zeroed out. ;)

:)

well i never gave you the negative points but i am glad i was able to assist you (with the other members posts/thoughts as well) to help you understand... and the best part... it sounds like you are staying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YIPPPPPEEEEEEE!

edited to add: good job judy!

yes i saw i didnt know who to thank... thank you madam!!!!!!!! and i do want to stay because this site has been quite educational and i am excited to see that i am not the only freak out there when it comes to my exotics!

This is hard to have checks and balances without adding more for the Mods. or admins. I think that to give negative rep it should be set up that you have a set number of poss. rep points or be a veterian. Or something like that. I hope this dosent earn me bad points. LOL

This might not work cause there are many people on here that might not meet these requirements. People that I respect their option and value their information. Or even something like you can't post neg rep points untill you have been a member for like 3 months or 6 or even a year. I don't know really like I said hard to do with out adding to the mods or admins. :colbert2:

I agree with Adam that if people were made to leave their name maybe they wouldn't want to try and hide. If I get neg points I like to know who I offended. Not to flame or retaliate, but I want the chance to explain my post or even apologize if I am wong or a little quick to judge then I will say so. And the same with the poss. I might wont to thank them for their support or comments

I like the idea of being able to say "thanks for helping me" or "great idea!" etc. in the positive rep. section. But I do feel there should be some sort of criteria *spelling, for negative reputation points. I dont know if that makes since or not, but do you get what I am saying?

I mean I hardly ever get pissed off or anything, and even fewer times will you see me say something that might upset someone else...even if there in my opinion wrong or whatever...I usually am passive.

The first time I spoke up on this site and just posted my feelings, I recieved a negative reputation point.....sad. Because everyone on there that was "getting into it" with me, well by the end of the hour we were all "friends" again.

I think some one might have jumped the gun before letting me explain things.
So yes that makes me sad, I'm a nice person, coming here to learn and be with people that have the same interests as me. I didnt come here to be made to feel bad about speaking my mind....we do live in america right? Just making sure.



Well just know, I wont ever use negative reputation points...unless you make a death threat, insult my family or abuse your pets/children.

Other than that, since I've been on this site I've giving good rep. to alot of people, ones that disagree with me for being able to challenge me, ones for answering a question of mine, for posting a great subject etc.

You catch more flies with honey then you do vinager....life's to short to have anything negative in it so I plan on living a little longer lol.

Love to all.

The Happy Hippy

Great post, but I have something to say to this.

Ball-pythons.net is a privately ran forum, and while the mods and admins don't treat us unfairly, they could if they wanted to. They could ban you for speaking your mind, BUT I know they wouldn't unless you are making a death threat, racist remark, etc....

By no means was a speaking about the admins or mods. They do an amazing job on this site....better than I could I know that for a fact. I would for sure be the one with my finger on the banned trigger :D

But its just a few members that I have come across that are a little in your face, and unfortunatly for me...I end up feeling like the underdog.

Some people need to step back and remember, they were not born professional know it all's of all things reptile. At one time we were all newbies.....treat newbies and others how you wished you would be treated. The way I look at life is, treat everyone and everything with compasion and respect, in hopes that when I'm down one of those that I have touched in some way will be there the way I was for them.

Lets face it, when you get to the top you remember all the nice people in your life....not the *******s.

for a while i had no opinions on this but after being a lurking member for a year, i checked my user cp, and i got neg rep from someone who said it was rude of me to ask people how much they spent on their animals.... um ok. sorry i wasn't aware that it was rude. i was just curious, cos i was savin up for my own snake... sheesh

n i only asked the question once

Er - no, actually ;) - don't worry, not getting at ya!!

But must agree with BPKid - this is a very good forum and run extremely well - I've been on some crap ones believe me, which is a shame because some of them actually have some very knowledgeable people on them.
