The Final Straw
Ok, You probably wont like this thread as it goes against everything you all stand for.
I'm not someone who complains, but i have been here for a while and got to know a few people here, and suddenly theres a flurry of insults heading my way. I admit i'm not perfect, but aren't we all?
My god thread was a serious one and i didn't see the other one that had been posted, but it was a serious question, and was hoping for some serious answers. Instead i got flurries of abuse and neg rep. Is thst justice? If i do something wrong, it would be nice if you said, but not in an insult.
I want answers to this thread, but if all you can say is an insult, don't bother, i want serious answers. If i'm doing something wrong, please tell me, and i will adapt.
I hope you can tell me, because i don't understand.
Have a nice day
Slick

Re: The Final Straw
I wasn't one that neg repped you or insulted you, but I did see another religion thread and roll my eyes.
Sometimes it's worth scanning the first page or two to make sure there's nothing extremely similar already around that you can add a similar question to.
Insults and neg rep are a little harsh though i guess... Unless you asked a really stupid question...

Re: The Final Straw
I actually expected this to be about Jack Straw and its title to be a clever play on words... i was sadly dissapointed.
incidently.....
Bad reputation may signal that you should try "harder" to create better threads.
However it is simple other peoples opinions and tbh id take it with a pinch of salt.

Re: The Final Straw
Phang's making me grin more lately, which is annoying as it means I can't make "you're a mini-jakiri" comments
Slick, it's because you aren't known. If someone who has been around here for a while made that, they'd probably be mocked a little bit, but not properly slandered. It's just how it works here, it's not an official rule. There's a relatively small userbase on GD, so you have to "work your way up the ranks". Lurk a bit, post some more, and then try. Don't let it get you down

Re: The Final Straw
I think certain topics are getting a bit tired. I've been biting at the bit trying really really hard not to neg-rep every bastard that posted to yet another football thread (several of them no less), but alas I'd be raging against the majority.

I thought this thread was going to be about Snow Patrol
Also don't worry, Jesus was persecuted too but he never whined about it on the internet.

Re: The Final Straw
BTW, is "flurry" a generally accepted replacement for "crapload"? It sounds funny. I might use it too.

Re: The Final Straw
I showed my wife my reputation pojnt score to show her how great and wonderful I am, and to show her I'm building a legacy for our daughter to carry on into the Internet future.
My wife asked me if it will help clean up shit-filled nappies, which kind of stumped me, as it now appears this rep system isn't all it's made out to be.

By the sounds of it you could probably trade nappy duty for some rep points off some of these ****s.

Re: The Final Straw
Apart from Dace, who exactly do you think would want their hands on shit-filled nappies?
Actually, if there is anyone on here that does, I'd rather not know why you do, how you want to or what you want to do with them.

Re: The Final Straw
I actually did give slick some pity rep when he made his god thread. I just thought that to be savaged by someone as agreeable as Stew, wtf was going on?! :eek:
Slick, I'd advise you to be a thread contributor before trying to be a thread starter, not because you have to be up some ladder to do so but because you're obviously too sensitive to criticism.
You had the misfortune to be an RP-crossover starting a badly-worded and tedious thread when people were first playing with rep points - of course you're going to get hammered Stop focussing on rep and people being mean to you. Just get on with reading the threads and posting your opinions like everyone else.
and avoid making statements like

as you're generalising, assuming what we think (or in some cases that we think), and presuming you have the right to determine responses.

Re: The Final Straw
More to the point, anyone creating a thread on GD and asking only for serious answers is using the wrong forum.

Re: The Final Straw
I gave Slick some pity rep. Poor sod must feel hated and stuff with his red blobbies.
BTW, would it be acceptable to use the term "flurrying" for spouting/throwing a lot of crap/stuff around?

Re: The Final Straw
Flurrying (to the best of my memory) means the act of running around very quickly
Flurry: Quick amounts of whatever

Re: The Final Straw
Slick, take a look at all my little red dots. Look at them and love yourself - you are a good person and better than me.
And to the rest of you, from now on, if you have something bad to say against Slick, you neg rep me for it first. You got that?

Re: The Final Straw
To be honest, the only way this reputation system would be fair is if you meta-moderated the reps as in Slashdot. So you'd get a random selection of comments (sans user name) along with whether they were modded up or down (again, not showing who did the modding). You'd then have a box saying "Was this moderation, fair?". If it is the fine, if not then the person who did the modding/repping get's a negative reaction.
Or something like that. But that's not in place, so who cares?
