Reputation

[Archaic Devices]

Ok I am not complaining but don't you get tired of being bad repped for stating your opinion? Please tell.

[Mmmmmmmmmm]

No. Reputation means nothing, people get all offensive if you bad rep them, then come all complaining that you don't know what you're talking about. They're total and complete morons and you should just get over it and move on with your life.

I got bad repped for being offended by something.

[blueangel06661]

To me bad repping is evil. I refuse to bad rep someone ^__^ Ask the pink baka. He knows


Good rep is always the way to go :]

[Anime Forum]

I have not been bad repped in quite a long time, and now that I say this, I will probably be bad repped. Anyways, rep does not really matter, so you get bad repped? You'll get good repped again, and that goes for vice versa. Rep does not really make a difference in the forum experience, even though its fun to show off rep points, its nothing that big.

Generally, if you explain your opinions, you will not receive bad Rep, either in forums, or in real life situations.

Simply coming in and making a bold, unsupported statement, on the other hand, regardless of your opinion, might get you some bad rep. Unless you are one of those people whose reputation is already solidified - They can often get away with one liners ^_^

But really, if you receive bad rep for voicing your opinion, don't let it deter you. People tend to get offended for stupid reasons, so..don't take them too seriously xD

What about this, since this thread is very similar to another thread that asks people if they had ever received stupid bad reps before. Let me answer your question in a different way and see how it comes out.

Reputation is just what people think about you, and your opinions. Bad reputations means nothing if you are actually a good person and other people know it, then there's nothing to be worried about. Bad reputation is an opportunity for every one of us to give out to make that person know what he/she did wrong and have that person to improve. The rep points represents the rate.

I've always get bad reps by people who I bad repped because they spammed, or talked about something dumb. And some people would bad rep me just because I'm Asian, or looking like a 16 year old when I'm almost turning 20, or even because I'm a christian. These are what I'd call "hopeless reps" by those who tries to see their rep power, or to put anger on some people with high rep points. Some people just call someone an ignorant in the bad rep just because that person isn't gay or lesbian, these things happens and we can't avoid it~

I usually bad rep those who post pointless stuff. I often see people posting in the wrong sections, people would post a few words "hey, wrong section." That I'd have fun bad repping, because that is pointless to gain a post count. And for those who post in threads like "have you ever done this?" "Are you in college?" They'd say "no i haven't" or "no i'm in high school." That's it, I had fun telling those people that it is not funny and pointless to gain post counts.

You abuse it then. What if someone is being downright ridiculous? You're going to good rep them and say "Way to go~~!!!"?

even though its fun to show off rep points, its nothing that big.

I think it's cool to have a humongous post count and small rep. That's the way to show you don't care what people think about your opinions. Unless you spam every post.

That's not quite right. I'm one of those people who "if you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all" kinda people.

[Mmmmmmmmmm]

Well, then you tell them what they did wrong with some negative reputation.

I'm not telling you what to do, but it's something I don't think you understand.

[angryveggie]

I'm not telling you what to do, but it's something I don't think you understand.

Actually, I think she does. It seems like she'd rather ignore the user's comment than give him or her a bad reputation, and I fully agree with this action. Oh, and I'd rather send the user a PM if I had to explain what he or she was doing wrong. However, I'm not a mod or admin, so I wouldn't do that in the first place.

[-akichan-]

I understand there are people that would only do good reps, doesn't mean they give good reps to those who will be getting bad reps, but it is also another way to stay away from problems.

I remember bad repping a member that her post was really annoying me. She hated me, personally. No matter where I post, or what I post, she followed after and went on disagreement with me with nonsense and offensiveness. So I bad repped her and told her to stay away from me. She grabbed a group of her friends to bad rep me under my friends' names. Who got in trouble? I did, with a big fat warning. Although she got banned, but it was still a bad experience.

[*~Lily_Gemini~*]

i dont like to get bad repped but i dont waste my time on it and i dont bad rep them back. i dont think ive ever bad repped anyone either

[-Kitsune-]

I dislike being bad repped, because then I feel like that person's gonna be mad at me >>; However, I don't dwell on it since I don't really care that much. People, its a little number next to some red or green boxes. On one forum site. Amongst millions more in the wide expanse of the internet. If that's gonna upset you that much, you may have a problem o__O;

No. Reputation means nothing, people get all offensive if you bad rep them, then come all complaining that you don't know what you're talking about. They're total and complete morons and you should just get over it and move on with your life.

'Course.Rep means nothing in the real world, but it does tick you off to see little stupid ones.It shows AF still has work to do.

[Saint Seiya]

Geeze at least you expressed your opinion, all i said was something that wasnt supposed to make anyone laugh and i got bad repped cause a person didnt think it was funny... ARE YOU KIDDING ME? of course i
badrepped telling the person that i could abuse the rep option too ^_^

[Dark Wolf 09]

Good reputation is a snap shot that the viewer fore-see's on the individuals voice of opinion, if someone accepts or declines there pragmatics, discussing a certain topic that's either perplexed on the current situation and decides to post something that's either ironic, arrogant, or just naive. That's degrading your reputation, so basically it's nothing.

[International 4-8818]

I don't really care about people bad repping me for my posts. well that is if it is a good reason. Some like OMG I HATE THAT SONG or OMG YOU ARE MEAN, well you are going to get it back. One that i really hate is when people do not leave there name. Pisses me off.

[Acnologia]

I don't care about rep, why should I? Its just a silly internet plug in, the green blocks are pixels, why get worked up about what some kid on the net has to say about me? They mean nothing to me.

Sorry to sound heartless, but thats my opinion. I do enjoy the friends I have here though.

[Jose]

Don't we have enough threads about rep yet?

I swear someone should just make a sticky thread for people to cry about it there. I only care about rep when they don't leave their name, yet they are so stupid, I know at least 6 moderators who would tell me if I asked. So really what's the point?

Negative reputation should be about expressing disagreement with the post or the user, and without a name attached then that basically mean your rep/opinion was/is useless. Let me explain....

Member A: Some random new member
Member B: Respected member
Member C: Staff member
Member D: Ignorant Troll

If Member D made a post and all Members [A,B,C] neg rep them, with leaving his/her name then the member d won't really know that they have broken a rule, they might just like they are being picked on, by random people on cyberspace.

However should the Members A,B,C leave a good reason for the neg rep and name then member could reply asking about the rules or whatever.

[OminousCloud]

I think it depends on how you rep. For example, if you good rep someone because you like their signature/avatar, you should be able to bad rep someone for their signature/avatar. If you good rep someone for their opinion, you should be able to bad rep someone for their opinion.

Consistency is the key.

[Famahama]

Stating opinions, well not really. Unless its a lieing statement on religion, then I may bad rep. I will not let people read lies D:

That, and when the poster paid no attention, like this little girl,
SUMITA
Yeap, nice wallpaper.
(Fresh out out of the Bad-rep oven yo)

How can you figure out that person is lying? So it's like...a girl with a buddha necklace and she says she's a christian? o.o;

Well...reminding of religion...and base on my experience, it is best to NOT post in threads about religion or sex orientations. Even if you know about it perfectly, and have a good point, in those types of sensitive threads will always have people starting conflicts of prejudice, and gets everyone in trouble.

[lady_jesika]

i hate being bad repped for that, its retarded -.-
i mean, whats the point of a thread or a blog if not to voice your personal opinion, if they dont like it they dont have to friggin read it!!

[Sanosuke23]

The only people that have bad repped me for voicing my opinions are idiots.

That being said, I've only been bad repped, like, three or four times not counting trolls *coughcoughAi,Maverickercoughcough*
