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.

'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.

I got bad repped for being offended by something.

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 :]

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.

[Memento Mori]

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.

But giving someone a bad rep with a good reason isn't being mean. It's like being a parent, you tell them what they did wrong. I've seen members who have made terrible posts, and you gave them good rep to 'raise it back up'.

No.

You do not do that. You give out good rep for good posts that were not meant to flame anyone and they defended their opinion with facts. You're simply abusing the system, and that's obvious, because you have 1k rep within 774 posts.

I must admit, back in my early days, I did abuse the system myself, that's why my rep is so high, but I've learned from my mistakes and learned that abusing the system is bad.

Anyway, all these people are saying that they don't care for bad rep, well I don't totally linger on it for a long time, but for a few seconds, I do care if the rep is for absolutely no reason, or they had a reason, but simply harrassed me and didn't leave their name.

demonplight or whatever is name is is a good example of someone who abuses bad rep. In his signature, it says 'When one bad reps, its a common curtsy to leave one's name. So one can return the favor, in kind. [stupid smiley]'

You do not bad rep someone for bad repping you. You bad rep for saying something stupid in a thread, flaming, spamming, advertising, etc., etc.

See? Is it that hard of a concept to grasp??


I don't know why but some people have a hard time understanding that there are few people here who don't bad rep. It's our choice. It's not like we absolutely have to bad rep people for their wrong doings.. But it's not like we are going to give them good reps either... We can just simply ignore it.. There are mods to tell what they did incorrectly...

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.

pretty much what raiken said, i also haven't been bad repped in about 3 years, and try to be positive when you're repping, the more you rep positively, the more good reps you'll recieve. so have fun.

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

Stop crushing me idealistic dreams Eris!

I did say generally.....

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.

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.

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;

[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.
