Allright no rep points for kissing up to the Mods,thats Nates job:groinkick :rofl: :rofl:

A reputation system will never be perfect for everyone. Personally I hate it and wish I had the option not to participate.

For example someone may not agree with what I just said and negative rep me for it. Then I come back and complain (no I won't) and a bunch of people "on my side" (LOL...right) will will give me bogus positive reps for a few days to "bump me back up". It happens all time, maybe not as much here but it does happen....what's the point.


JMHO

I think if the rep system is used correctly it can be useful, but when someone can just leave you a negative feedback because you say that your favorite color is blue and they think blue is a horrible color, it's being used incorrectly. Feedback should be given based on how well or poorly someone contributes to the site and not on differences of opinion.

I feel that letting people leave anonymous posts makes people feel more secure to hide behind a screen and leave negative feedback that they wouldn't leave if their name was attached.

If someone has reason to leave negative feedback, by all means.. do so, but if you don't feel it's a legit enough complaint to attach your name.. than think twice before submitting it.

I just feel that without a requirement for a name to be attached, there is little use for it. I have seen many posts on here with people complaining about anonymous feedback. Personally I am not complaining, but it just seems if members of this site do complain, maybe the system should be modified, or perhaps allow members to 'opt-out' if they prefer.

;) if you "hover" over the green square under the location... it tells you how much reputation someone has. "___is welcome around here" "____ should think before posting" etc.

hope that helps,

IMO, the rep system has worked quite well here largely due to the fact that most users on this site don't abuse it. It's been my experience that you aren't likely to be nailed for petty dissenting opinions - i.e "blue rules" vs. "blue sucks" or something equally silly/not-exactly-relevant to the purpose of the rep system.

In a nutshell, if you make an effort (and it's not hard) to positively contribute to this site, your reputation points will take care of themselves.

K~

cookies for everyone!!! (except joe :P )

i agree kara. i've had one negative rep point... but if i was receiving a lot of negative reps... i would start looking at how i'm saying what i'm saying and begin to say it differently so that people would not be stressed/upset and annoyed with my posts.

cause i'm not here to upset people or cause problems... i'm here to learn, share, smile and laugh. ;)

anyone want another cookie?

I have one negative rep point. It was from quite awhile ago. I already voiced my biggest complaint and stand by it.

Do those happen to be double chocolate chocolate chip cookies????? :D

nope... chocolate covered oreos... it's my favorite...

but... *digs into the cookie bin*... i just found a dozen double choc chunk cookies? will they do? :chew:
