Auto Talker With Form! 11-16-2008 09:25 PM ggg
The first one, what the hell? Im up myself on a thread that died months ago, when me and 'Richard' were having a playful chat? Right-o.
Progress Report forum? Some immature idiot negative repped me because their idea was awful. Right-o.
Autotalker? I have no idea what it is for?!
Why the fuck do I get negative rep?
I got like 5 neg rep when I posted up about myself getting 2 rep balls, which I dont have because idiots keep putting my rep down.
Why cant Mod's make it so negative rep has to be checked so idiots cant just lower your rep, for christ sake.
Fuckin' Immature, Imo.

Best thing to do would be disable Rep?
Otherwise stick with it and try to be as helpful as possible i guess….
Hang in there :)

That's all I heard though. I wonder if Wizzup and WT-Fakawi took over hosting it
In reply to what happened during SRL's downtime, before any announcements were made…
EDIT: Seems like the same dunce de-repped you for the Autotalker as he did me ('gg', 'ggg') >_<
EDIT:

That's why I didn't post about me getting it :p, but alas, the one noob de-repping me brought me out of it anyway. EDIT: Now I have 2 again :rolleyes:

User CP > User Control Panel (the toolbar at the top).

They can't do anything.
And you think mods can? And Rep is supposed to be given freely when people think it is deserved. Yes it is sad that sometimes people abuse it, and the negative rep was probably just a lame joke. But seriously don't get upset over it, its not a big deal, rep is worthless.

*Imagines how much rep hobbit probably has*.
But yeah, don't worry about it. By the way, I haven't seen you around for a long time. How have you been? (I guess this could be directed at hobbit or ToF)

I think you receive those when someone with 0 reputation tries to give you some reputation (though I'm not completely sure on that). I have quite a few of those too.

You can also check by trying to give yourself rep. It's not specific, but it tells you how much you have.

Ya… but wouldn't you get a bad report when it is read and it shows that you are trying to give yourself rep all the time?
And I don't think that rep is totally useless… it sort of shows which people are helpful and which people are just insolent jerks.

Nah. It doesn't let you give yourself rep. It just pops up with a message saying how much rep you have, and if the post that you clicked the button on has any form of rep on it.

nope, no one reads it, it knows you can't give yourself rep, I do it all the time, I see nothing in my user cp, which I can see :p
So go ahead, and click the little blue button on your post ;)
I dare you.
As for you not being able to see your cp, I dunno, I could at first, then I couldn't for awhile, then after the most recent down time it came back :D

I think the entire reputation system is immature; you guys shouldn't care more or less if you get reputation or not.

i like it :P, it's a way of saying thanks if there's no other so it's useful ;)
Rep doesn't mean anything. No need for some extra measures ensuring you get rep for some "correct reasons", especially as it's a matter of opinion so it'd be a pretty communist system if mods decided wether or not peoples opinions were correct or not..
Magiic
2008-12-14 12:13:31
no, that's not what he's saying he's saying that people are giving him neg rep and good comments and others are giving bad rep for no reason, or nothing to do with the subject

Well the idea of communism works, just not in practic. Maybe we could be different.
I vouch for a communist rep system not a free speech one :o
I suppose 'tis useless, but it is nice having 2 rep balls

Why does everyone calls them balls, when they are clearly squares?
I've pondered this before….

now ill stop :)
-mastaraymond- FTW lol
btw sorry who ever i offended, or did too.
Just whoring for 2 rep balls and then trying to keep them doesn't seem like a good enough reason to change the system, especially as they still don't mean anything, and 90% of people most likely don't even pay attention to "rep balls", or they don't even know what those green balls mean.
