Negative Repping...
 

To everyone,

Stop negative repping people because of disagreements, that is not what the system is for. Personal arguments do not merit negative rep, that is supposed to be reserved for open displays of nasty/unprofessional behavior.

Also, try not to negative rep people for their signatures, display names, avatars, or anything else about their account. That is none of your business. That is between them and the mods. You should only be worried about post content. Once again, it is not your place to negative rep someone for account information, or there would be an option to do so, and not only an option to give rep on posts.

The second paragraph is because I have been being negative repped for my signature. I put an extension over 200 px (as I am allowed to do, so is everyone else). And got negative rep for it. If the mods don't like it... they have every right to change it (as per the site rules).

Sorry for this semi-long post, It just grates me to see everyone trying to be a mod. That is not our job.

I just wanted to point out that if long signatures bother you (they really bug me), you can go into "user CP" and choose "Edit Options." Under that selection you can remove the check box next to "Show Signatures" and viola![sic] you won't see those long, obnoxious signatures anymore.

I'd like an option that says "Show Only Short, Tasteful Signatures" but I guess that's asking too much.

Plus, if you are using a newer web browser (any Firefox, Opera, Newer IE)
There is a 200 Px cutoff, which doesn't allow long sigs.

What??


Hm... yeah, I could care less about the little red rounded squares I get in my User CP box. I do, however, read the green ones. Those give me a sense of appreciation... lmao.

I think going over the 200 pixel limit is a good reason for negative rep. There's rules for a reason. But really, does it matter?

Re: Negative Repping...
 

Honestly, if there's something about your profile that makes someone neg rep you for it, should it really be there in the first place?

If you have a problem with a rep someone gives you, you can contact one of the mods to get it taken care of. But pretty much, if someone's giving you a bad rep, it's prolly cuz they think that something you've done is deserving of it, post, profile, signature or anything else...

If you see trash on the ground is it not your responisbility to pick it up just because your not a janitor? Sure, but if you pick it up your improving the community for everyone.

So why don't we all just be janitors and get along?

OK, let's all neg-rep Beth for those fake words ;)

Re: Negative Repping...
 

If you have a problem with the content of someone's signature, avatar, or profile use the Neutral rep feature or private messaging.

As for what Cody said, I could not agree more. Just because you hold the opposing opinion of another does not mean they are deserving of negative reputation points. If they have however, purposefully insulted you or posted content that you find offensive, then negative reputation points could be considered.

Are you agitating my dots? :p

Re: Negative Repping...
 

I have a problem that there is such a discussion.

What does it matter? It's the least important part of this forum. Ignore them if you don't like them and ignore the people who rep you poorly. I have some negitive rep about comments of disagreement I had with people, but on other websites that use the repping system, thats normal use.
