Reputation System: Dramatics and Whining

[Lucifus]

Rofl, that crap made me laugh so bad.

I've gotten about 10 pos reps since the changes. Still 3 bars. T-T

I recently got a negative rep for saying that Muffins are gay, and that Cupcakes are better.

........they said I was gay.

Anonymous repping never truly works out.

On all the comic book, manga, scifi, etc.. boards I'm on the systems that work best are those that actually tell you who positively or negatively repped you.

For instance, I got a negative rep on my first post here for just pointing out a fact in the latest Naruto manga thread.

Not complaining, just saying is all.

Well take it this way then If I sign or my username comes up as a positive rep I give you. Most see that as a act of kindness that they return, and as such a circle may start which may be called the "circle jerk". When you get more people in it you get results that are conflict in the reasoning for such a system to exist in the first place. A rep system is to reward those demmed worth it by their peers based on what they have done in posting. A "circle jerk" abuses the system in such a way that it doesn't matter what type of poster you are, It only matters who you know.

As well a good poster may give a member of this "circle jerk" a negitive rep, resulting in anger from that member making him ask that the members of his "circle" help him take this poster "down" per say.

This is high school all over again in which everyone had their "group" they belonged too and they looked down on all others not with them. That is why this we asked that usernames not be given in the comments of a rep.

Now that doesn't mean that the current Anonymous reping system is prefect, but it is far better to stay true to the reason for the system in the first place. Yes we have all been Neg reped for what appears to be no reason at all, as well I'm sure that there are people out there that do it for fun. I have been neg reped for stupid reasons as well, just don't let it get to you. I know that they need the veil of the rep system to insult me and such as they can't do it in front of me for what ever reason.




So Yes thats exactly what I'm saying people that give Negitive reps for what appears to be a just spiteful nature are cowards in my eyes. However there are some of the neg reps I have deserved as well.

Take the system as it is, don't let it take you
