Best rep thread ever
 

So it's finally possible to see who you get your rep from or lose it to. Brilliant.

My best ones were from Yahwe and TK. Yahwe anon neg-repped me in an old thread because I mocked him in a new one. Diddums :)
Best of all though I'd correctly guessed single every time he'd repped me and repped hm back with the exact same text. Including the blank neg in an old thread trick. I know it's a bit internet-sad but that makes me happy.

TK's was genuinely lolsome. He anon neg repped a post I made about him pretending to be someone else by using the personal pronoun he instead of I. (Rep for this post was "ohmygod he was joking you idiot") Congrats on being shit like Yahwe on the internet TK!

So anyone else whose rep panel has taken on a little more meaning now that all the cats are running free?

strongly pro

Re: Best rep thread ever
 

A third of my negative rep is from the Master of cool Silver(cock)smoke(r).

Re: Best rep thread ever
 

Yahwe is way more frustrated then I expected. It's actually quite funny because I never expected that pretty much all childish crap came from him. :p Maybe I overestimated him.

Most of GD actually never repped me at all, which is surprising, considering the quality of some of my posts. You guys have a thicker skin then I thought, except Yahwe.

Re: Best rep thread ever
 

5 of my last 6 negreps were from Yahwe.

Two of them were somewhat justfiable, the other 3 ridiculous.

Re: Best rep thread ever
 

Pretty much all of my neg reps are from Yahwe

It's also nice to be confirmed that in that post he negged me for that i retalinegged him for i was right that it was him :)

****ing owned.

Re: Best rep thread ever
 

Yeah, I felt an extraordinary sense of satisfaction about that too. It's slightly worrying.

edit: I just realised it's because I now know he's not as smart as he thinks he is. Worry over.

Re: Best rep thread ever
 

Yeah, it's just crazy that non-mods haven't been able to see rep while we have. Nice to see the powers that be have finally fixed it.

I haven't got any interesting neg rep so :(

Re: Best rep thread ever
 

Most of my neg-rep where from yahwe too.

However, Im not shocked my this.

Re: Best rep thread ever
 

Same for me. Yahwe has been a constant neg repper.

Re: Best rep thread ever
 

It was Yahwe that negrepped me for my tribute to Phil O'Donnell.

Absolute cock, tbh.

Other than that my negreps have been fairly justified.

Edit: Can somebody remove his negrep privileges?

Re: Best rep thread ever
 

Anonymity is a mighty fine way of getting away with being a tool, tis true.

Re: Best rep thread ever
 

hmm, I was wondering who my last neg rep was from, it seemed quite silly. Hi horn how're you doing man?

Re: Best rep thread ever
 

As a matter of interest is there anyone at all who managed even 1 pos rep from Yahwe?

Re: Best rep thread ever
 

8 neg rep, 6 of them from yahwe :)

Re: Best rep thread ever
 

None of them were much of a surprise but it seems Yahwe didn't negrep me!

Re: Best rep thread ever
 

It's the kissing ladies.

Re: Best rep thread ever
 

I was surprised by the originator of a couple of reps, both positive and negative. I haven't had any rep from Yahwe though.

I personally think no good will come of us knowing who's repping us but most people seemed to want it so whatever.

Re: Best rep thread ever
 

To be honest I've always thought if you aren't prepared to stand behind your opinion you should keep it to yourself. For example, I've always thought Yahwe a supercilious prig and I don't care who knows it.

Re: Best rep thread ever
 

I've never been neg-repped by yahwe that I can see, does that mean I win?

Re: Best rep thread ever
 

You arent prepared to stand by your own principles either it seems, since you never signed the neg rep you left me back in november.
:rolleyes:

Re: Best rep thread ever
 

I don't have a neg for you on my panel but you can rest assured if I didn't sign it, it was an oversight. Let's be frank though, I've been more than happy to call you a prat, to your face, on many occasions over the years.

Re: Best rep thread ever
 

no it means you lose :(

Re: Best rep thread ever
 

It's nice to see the anonymous appreciators. Out of three negative reps only one came from yahwe. Actually I neg repped him a while ago and he sent me a message asking me to quit such a silly game instead of retaliating through neg reps. I may be one of his favourites! But if I were going to elope with one of you, based on our mutual positive reps, it would be horn.

Re: Best rep thread ever
 

since i ignore all the pos/neg reps from this section of the forums, and wear the ones from the others with pride, for i believe that if i have been neg or pos repped elsewhere, i have struck a chord in somewhere within the player enough to move them to act, from this section i ignore them as they are mostly about the spelling and grammer :)

since a neg/pos rep means someone has read/listened to your point of view, it has been heard, and wether they agree with you or not, that is the most important thing.

Re: Best rep thread ever
 

i'd guesstimate around 60% of yahwe's negrep to people is justifiable

Re: Best rep thread ever
 

btw : i am the first to admit my spelling and grammer suck.

Re: Best rep thread ever
 

You are hardly one to talk...

Re: Best rep thread ever
 

How do you get the panel back? Mine disappeared a while ago

Re: Best rep thread ever
 

It's this kind of terrible behaviour that makes the argument for anonymous-rep stronger :(



:up:

Re: Best rep thread ever
 

I don't post enough to get much rep of any kind. I've only got one negative one and it was from Yahwe. He didn't give a reason.

Re: Best rep thread ever
 

I have an almost erotic urge to anonomously neg-rep you with the message 'tl,dr'.

Re: Best rep thread ever
 

:rolleyes:

Re: Best rep thread ever
 

Does anyone have any rep that is falsely signed?

Re: Best rep thread ever
 

Not at all. The only reason I neg-repped Yahwe was because he didn't sign and moreover tried his very best to hide the fact the fact that it was him repping me. If he had signed then I would absolutely not have re-repped him. In fact I think it's fair to say about 90-95% of my reps given are positive. At the moment I only have 1 neg on my sent panel (Yahwe) but 10 in my received one, with 3 greys.

It's the kind of shit behaviour demonstrated by yourself and Yahwe that is harmful. Your mutual obsessions with having green dots and being internet popular can be beyond sad at times and is certainly detrimental to the development of open and interesting debate.

Re: Best rep thread ever
 

brave man died along... 1 Jan 2008 18:26 KoeN hahaha gd1 -anonymous
thats falsly signed :)
In the past Im sure ive had a couple but theres no *real* ones on the current set that are displayed where someone claims to be another

Re: Best rep thread ever
 

I've found that changing skins changes the numbers and types of rep you can see in your User CP. Try that.

Re: Best rep thread ever
 

I sometimes PM people when I find grammatic or orthograhic errors in their posts. Why neg rep them? First you exclude them because of their spelling then you find yourself searching ebay for gas chambers and free plots of land in Poland.

Anyway, I'll repeat it here for mistwraith: it's grammar!

Re: Best rep thread ever
 

Yup, Furball likes to negrep people pretending he's Yahwe.

Re: Best rep thread ever
 

Alki negrepped me and signed it Kargool.

Re: Best rep thread ever
 

In his defence though, Alki has never been the sharpest tool in the shed.

Re: Best rep thread ever
 

Sadly when I get anonymously negrepped here I immediately delete my post most of the time, because I fear being disliked. :( After a post gets deleted you still keep the reppoint but the negrep dissapears from the list. So can anybody just say he negrepped my post on the "tribute to a footballer" thread? I'm curious. Given the amount of points it took I made a bet and figured it was Kargool. Would be a shame to find out it wasn't Kargool after all. :(

Also these were pretty funny:
Tietäjä - For being anonymously negrepped on the thread, I've decided to anonymously negrep people posting to the thread. (You must be blushing right now!)
aNgRyDuCk - right so ND's ineffectiveness is Duck's fault LOL get a clue (Third person speaking about yourself is so awesome!)

Also weird to see that like 60% of the negreps aren't from regular posters, actually from posters I've never read a single post from on GD.

edit: I also got 2 from Yahwe, can I joined the club now?

Re: Best rep thread ever
 

What on earth, where did that come from :confused:

I was just pointing out that "rep-retals" are pretty shit and immature and if people are doing them with "anonymous" rep then it can only get worse when you know who's repping you.

Re: Best rep thread ever
 

I'm waiting for Kenny to make up my mind of this matter.

Re: Best rep thread ever
 

I was just pointing out that anonymous (Yahwe) or third person (you) rep is just as shit, if not worse. At least now people's opinions will be out in the open. Most would consider that a good thing for an internet discussion forum...

As I said, my response to Yahwe was based solely on the fact that he was trying to disguise the fact it was him who was repping me.

Re: Best rep thread ever
 

I'm pretty sure I have signed every piece of rep I have given.

Re: Best rep thread ever
 

The third-person rep wasn't stupid. Hark back to the post and you'll see it was completely justified. TomKat can't help it if he refers to himself in the third person.

Re: Best rep thread ever
 

Writing a rep comment in third person is quite brilliant to be honest.

Re: Best rep thread ever
 

I had that one too :confused:

Re: Best rep thread ever
 

Heheh. I read that as "the fact it was [yahwe] who was raping [or rapping] me."

I more or less agree with Achilles' point. I think it's wise to protect the forum from devolving into a some kind of LOLcats appreciation society, but I see a few posters using the reputations facility not to soley punish spammers and those who post the same joke every f ucking year, for example, (hi theam) but to persistently punish those who think and live differently from themselves. This, then, can create a hostile environment which normally leads to closed and elitist discussions and, as of late, few discussions.

For example, quite a while ago one of the GD regulars did start to post on plastic brilliance, quite often attacking some of the users because he did not agree with the way they were living their life, but eventually he stopped because I started to delete his posts, among other reasons I'm sure. (I was a moderator at that time). In this case if there had been a way to deliver more venom, like giving negative reputation, I'm sure he would have done so. Had he been able to do so this would have created a far more hostile and unfriendly environment and the aforementioned consequences of that.

I, obviously, do not think we should emulate plastic brilliance. But the fact some posters here have used the reputation facility not to protect the forum from debasement but to attack others who exhibit different believes, styles and ideas has eventually caused a lot of potentially interesting posters to leave the forum to the detriment of us all and only to the benefit of those hard-core neg-reppers who have some bizarre and selfish desire to exclude anyone whom they do not agree with.

Hopefully as reputation is no longer anonymous the aforementioned hard-core neg-repper will stop this behaviour.
