Hmmm... am I not allowed to give you a 'negative' rep on a post you made? If you said something in one of your posts that I disliked is that not reason enough to give you a neg. rep? Maybe I'm confused or on 'meds' or something, but that's what I thought this rep approval - disapproval thing was for. I mean I got more than my fair share of disapproved lights. 15 to be exact. Tell me what's that mean? Does it mean you, TP could hit as many as you want? Just a question. How much can you hit?

Edit: btw I don't much care about this approval - disapproval thing. Started out as an unknown quantity (whatever that means) anyway.

So what's the red light mean? As you mentioned above, you said something about 'being bad for the community. Is that what it means?

Yes, that is correct. I just found it amusing.

If you are giving me (and everyone else) positive rep on the 1000s of posts that have been made that you do think are worthwhile, then yes, I would expect you to give me negative rep on the ones you "disapprove of." But the fact that you are trying to do it to me multiple times (enough that you got the error you posted about) seems a bit shady. Seems to me that you are being a big baby and are out to get me or something....

And the whole point of "reputation" is so new users can see who is worth listening to and who they should beware of. And the fact that you think *I* am someone they should beware of, yes, I find that flat out hilarious, and I'm sure many others do as well...

But as you like to saw, "w/e."

Be honest ok? Can you honestly say that you didn't give me more than one negative rep?

And I'm not doing it to get back at you. I'm doing it cus I didn't like your replies to some of my posts and this is an easy way to do it instead of posting you my reply to your post replies. *Wouldn't want you to waste another 45mins on my account.*

did someone give rook brians meds?

BrianSwa · #5 01-03-06, 12:38 PM

my meds were for depression and they helped alot but since Gavin is doing so much better I got off them. Meds made me better so maybe rook isnt taking them, I dont need them anymore so id be happy to share.

Yes, I can honestly say that. Your little light was red when I opened the thread.

I guess it's up to each individual, but IMO, Negative rep shouldn't be for disagreements. It should be when you truly disapprove of a post - ie, SPAM, random insults, major overreactions, and that sort of thing... not for when you don't agree with someone's well supported and thought out point of view.

I don't know if it is possible, but I think it would be nice to make leaving a comment with your neg/pos rep would be nice. That way you can tell someone what you did/didn't like about their post so they know what to change in the future.

You can leave comments when you leave Rep - both good and bad.

I'm not sure if these comments are visable to the person you are leaving them for though... I'll have to look into that.

Hawt · #9 01-03-06, 02:00 AM

Yeah they are visible, though they are anonymous, I meant they should be required to leave reputation if possible. (No rep without a comment why for example)

You said this rem? "dragging the drama into multiple threads. I mean, what's the point?"

Brianswa did just that by pasting two of my links from other threads, but did you say anything to him? Ofcourse not! He's now your new best friend. Would be nice if you treat everyone alike. If it's not good for me to do that, it shouldn't be good for anyone to do that.

Zybomb · #11 01-03-06, 01:40 AM

I back this 100%

rookette22 · #12 01-03-06, 01:42 AM

You wondered if I was on meds or something??? Guess I can't have my own opinion on certain subjects without you thinking I'm either 'crazy' and need help or on 'meds', huh? Sry, but you deserved the negative approval on that one. Don't much like you insinuating it over and over either.

Talking Poker · #13 01-03-06, 01:53 AM

Must you bring your drama into every single thread you post in, even completely unrelated ones like this???

No, I'm not saying I don't like you (in fact, I still think you are quite a hottie and I still want my handcuffs back). And no, I'm not saying I want you to stop posting and leave the forum forever...

But yes, I would like it if you could ease up on the overreactions a bit, and even more so, your refusal to move on when you disagree with someone or something, and worse yet - dragging the drama into multiple threads. I mean, what's the point?

This is not the thread for this, but since you've brought it here anyway and are clearly not willing to let it drop............... I stand by the 'meds' comment I made. Out of context, like you are semi-paraphrasing it here, it sounds bad. But at the time, I clearly explained it wasn't an insult or a joke and explained how I literally was wondering that because of your extreme insane sounding post. If you want to leave me negative rep for that, so be it. I knew you would. I suspect more people will be leaving me positive feedback for that very same post, and quite likely this one, so it's all good.

But the fact that you are bouncing around from post to post trying to turn my Rep red - enough so that you are getting errors for it... come on, Rook. Grow up.

Talking Poker · #14 01-03-06, 02:38 AM

Ah ha! I knew it!

Check out Zybomb's Rep:

He's got 2 green bars now. Yeah, I know - big surpriuse that he's the first to the next level. What can I say - I like a lot of the guy's posts!

Anyway, in time, I think the system will be a lot more useful. So let's get rating, people!

BrianSwa · #15 01-03-06, 07:25 PM
