  1. so you just consider your distribution of rep more legitimate than that of a significant portion of the userbase

    if the "pathetic little poo flingers" were anything but a significant number of users, i can't see it being a worthwhile opt-out

    Slowly.

    Painfully.

    ...I'll get the blowtorch...
    i too wish painful deaths upon the mentally unsound

    hm yes those are the first things that pop into my head when i think of america

    oh

    oh wait
  4. i am at least fairly certain it does not actually add to the tally
    your comment will appear, but you won't influence any numbers

    i am curious, though: do you consider it hypocritical to disable your rep while participating on the "giving" end of the system? it seems like you're opting out just insofar as it affects you
  5. i think my rep might be negative if i didn't keep getting it from people who have theirs' turned off

    protip: you can't leave rep if yours isn't enabled
  6. oh no internet people are calling me names someone help

    i don't think i can take this much longer

    it's turning me into a nervous wreck
  7. "i'm a jerk! just look at this helpful thread i made!"
  8. you know what pk i think you really have no sense of what being mean or nice actually entails and you just waltz around in a generally amiable haze because it comes natrually
  9. if you don't think you should be #1 then just be a jerk all the time
    it seems like an easy problem to fix

    half of me wants to channel the spirit of the free market and argue that competition for rep rank is, in fact, good for the community, but i really don't have the patience
  10. well i guess if hooters are what you're after

  11. de-anonymizing rep feedback would be hilarious but i get the the feeling it would lead to tit-for-tat rather quickly

    i don't see how this addresses what i said at all so let's go over this again:

    you said: i'm not playing hall monitor, i'm doing this because i think it makes the game a better place!
    i said: i don't see how the two are mutually exclusive so i'd like you to explain the distinction you're making

    ¿comprende?

    "playing hall monitor" and reporting things you loathe aren't mutually exclusive

    explain the distinction you're trying to make because i'm not sure it actually exists

I'd much rather you just see yourself as a member of the community that doesn't take part of the voluntary community activity and doesn't disparage those that do.
    "i'm not saying that you ARE trash, just that you're acting like it (you trash)"

    What you see as "a rat" I see as a good community member doing his part to bring possible community issues to the attention of the people that have the authority and responsibility to make the final decision. This isn't an adversarial system of "us (players)" vs "them (devs)" like prisoners vs inmates or children vs the grown-ups... both images that your wording of "snitch" and "rat" evoke. I like to think most of us are above that.

    Most of us, at least.

    This is just a bit of community empowerment. It's a little bit community organization, a little bit "neighborhood watch" and maybe a little bit of "adopt a highway" helping pick up the trash.

    Of course, if you feel more like "the trash" than the community, you're entitled to those feelings.

    "here's what i think and if you disagree you're probably trash"
  16. the professor is the only thing standing between this game and court-mandated shutdown

    one man. one weekend. hundreds of reported missions.

    Natural Charisma™
    coming to theaters this fall
  17. clearly i am going to post more for the sole purpose of getting a bunch of green boxes under my name

    i'm doing this because green is my favorite color
  18. funny enough, i do the exact opposite

    when someone gives me the star on a team that's doing door missions, i force them over to an ae farm

    it's always worked well for me, but maybe i just have natural charisma
  19. i guess your concept is kind of cool but it's vague enough to reveal nothing about whether it could actually work or not

  21. someone petition the devs to give us a snapshot of religious philosophy and theology in the coh universe because i imagine magic and obvious divine intervention would require new and interesting belief structures
  22. i hope they keep the rep system and people learn to be mature enough to both give and take posting feedback critically and impersonally

    heh
  23. perhaps you should consider caring less about annoying internet people

    don't let 'em, you know, get you down

    Talk about disappearing into a black hole. By either design or accident, not only do you leave your signature blank but your made up forum name invisible, too.

    You have actually managed to cover up a FICTIONAL name. Why would anyone do that? (This has to be a glitch in my computer.)

    Anyway, thanks for the great laugh.
