oldschooler Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 I am sure I will get a lot of negative rep for even making this thread. But oh well. Someone is following my around and giving me negative rep for articles and links I am posting. Every post I make someone is giving it to me. I could see if it was something I said that they disagree with, but posting an article or link? To the hater, are you trying to tell me not to post anything at all anymore? I know people have been doing it to Rumble, but he is a Browns fan and everyone hates him. Anyway, I think the rep system is lame. And like I said yesterday in the game thread, I remember the good ole days when someone had to actually respond to you to let you know they didn't agree with something you said. Or give you a x1 for something they agreed with. Now people can just hate on you no matter what you post. Lame. Can it be done away with, or is it something we are stuck with?

B.A.B. Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 I got a rep of -3 right now, but it usually fluctuates within 3-5 points of either side. Depending on how hilarious or how douchetastic I'm being that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mongo Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 Can't say I'm a fan of rep systems on forums. I'll +rep someone every now and then for something funny, but I've never understood -rep. Either the douchetastic (thanks BAB) statement is ignorable, or I come right out and rebut the post in question. -rep just strikes me as.... cowardly... or lazy... both?

[/quote] The whole rep idea seems ignorant to me. I saw mine once and it was plus something or other and I wasn't even aware that we had a rep system here. A few months down the line I saw it again and it's minus. I checked again after seeing this thread and it's minus........but I honestly don't remember what the number was. Who gives a shit about rep? It means nothing at all. What benefit would it have other than some egotistical prick to go stroke himself looking at how much people loves his posts? Fuck it. I sincerely admire just about everyone here and am proud to call you friends......in a virtual sense. Rep means squat to me. If anyone wants to neg me feel free. I probably won't see it for another 6 months anyway. MULLY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jza10304 Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 I don't post here as much as I used to (way back when) but I noticed that I have a -2. Frankly, I didn't know there was a rep system in place. As far as positive and negative "reps" go, at least that means you're getting attention one way or another. No such thing as bad press. As far as Oldschool goes, I'm in agreement with some on here. I love how he diligently posts article...saves me time scouring the internet.
