the "negative rep" game

[JASBALLS]

I'm not (Startoing) a fight with an 18 year old idiot... I left you a neg because I can.. And 3 for one post is NOT bad trust me LOL.

Why not have a single, definitive "extol the benefits of the rep system/gripe about neg rep points" thread? It seems like every other week or so someone starts a new thread whining about receiving negative rep points. How about combining all of those posts into a central (and probably never-ending!) thread on the topic to which folks may add their opinions, instead of starting a new topic every few days or so? And starters of subsequent, separate threads griping about negative rep points are immediately awarded additional negative rep points, and blown to itty-bitty bits, in Thy mercy...

Whoa...sorry for the MP sidetrack there. But all the other stuff, yeah!

Jeff, why not atleast apolagize to Joe. We all know he didnt leave you neg, and you flat out assumed that it was him. When you say negative reps are a "childs way of pissing some one off" or whatever, how so? It obviously came from 3 different people. Im damn sure that they did not PM each other planning on giveing you neg. I dont know what post it was but if you did get 3, then you did deserve them. And if you are as mature as you say you are then you would say sorry.

Pj ff,it would not matter if he did apologize to me as i would not see it nor would i care.I chose to use the ignore button for the very first time here.We all know the truth and thats all matters to me.

Actually it might be interesting to know Jeff which thread caused you to receive the 3 neg rep hits from three different members. That's not a terribly common occurrence here so if you'd like to post the link, I'd certainly be interested in which one it was.

As far as the rep system, it's not perfect nor can it be. If you feel a rep point is unfair, unwarranted or abusive you have the Mods or Admins available to you to discuss the matter with in PM. Most forums online do not have the immediate response/assistance of volunteer staff as this one does.

However, complaining about neg reps and making blanket accusations publically without proof aren't about to earn you good rep points either. In the end, most people don't really care much about rep points on a snake board. They are going to, however, judge you by the quality of your posts in their totality and the way you represent yourself here.
