It's still on topic - we're just discussing your reputation now

I want to see how negative I can go. Ah, hell I'll just disable it. I don't need to start some flame war with a real troll to see if they can out-negative me.

You can get it assigned to you even if the meter's turned off (and see it on your UserCP). It's just that nobody else will see it.

What I find really curious about this is it seems that you can break all the rules you like in the rep feedback. In the name of experimentation, anyone out there willing to help me see if rep references avoid the whole obscenity filter? It seems to be a pretty easily abused system then. Anyone mind if I send them some profane words - or want to send me some profane words - in the name of science?

Not that I agree with the obscenity filter's current settings, but whatever. I miss my ability to commit obscene tmisis.

Is there a way to turn off what people say on your page? I dont want my page filled up with rep comments, I liked your comment, I hated your comment comments. I wish this stuff wasnt here darnit. Wouldnt be so bad if you could purge your page when you wanted to.

Oh Talen, I would but I would hate to take the chance and get banned for it. I already push my luck on these forums when I wake up in the morning. I should know better than to post before I am awake.

All I can say is, you first lol..I dont mind at all to see if it goes through and what happens.

EDIT: Well, I sent you some goodies there Talon.

Blue letters hurt my eyes!!!!!!!!

You can send obscenitys to me; I might even learn a new one

I'm sure board mods will be able to see who has sent something though, so for real flaming it might not be as anonymous as flamers may think.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I can see rep being used as a way of disagreeing with a post, maybe becasue I think similar just happened to me. I'd rather people actually responded if they think an idea/opinion is crud rather than backhandly giving neg rep.

I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.

Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.

So sad to be ending ):

You can collapse the comments section by clicking the little minus sign to the right of the top of the list.

Yeah, I figured that out GG. I would just like the option to clean my page when I wanted to. You know, like you can with PMs and threads you post in. I'm a neat freak. I like to keep my page clean

Talen Lee · 08-04-2009 05:34 PM

Good news; it seems actual obscenities, like 'person from the country of Id' is censored, but little things like accusing someone of trolling (against the TOS) and slurring someone's sexuality are fine.

So, pretty much what I sent you was censored? I hope so, cause I wouldn't want that stuff on my page....heh

Yup, both negative and positive are anonymous unless you say like.. "I hate you and you smell like fungus. -Chompie"

Except then that could be someone else anyway pretending to be you. Man, I am loving this rep-game already. So much intrigue! So much mindgames! Hmmmm!

Who, me?

Well, first of all, it seems really hard to get into the red. I see a lot of multi-green posters, but I've seen maybe a single person with two red dots. I'm curious.

Secondly, I like being confusing.

Thirdly, I'm curious as to how people react to a straight-up demand of "give me negative rep" cause it's like... will it be like reverse psychology? Will people disregard and give rep as expected? Will I be percieved differently with different rep levels?(unlikely!) It's interesting!

Oooh, pick me! ***** me out!
Oh, too late. Man, I suck.

Sounds like lovely news.

Edit: I keep getting rated good, and I don't post as much anymore. :O I think I have a stalker.

Ok, let's give it a try then.

Oh wait, was I supposed to change the last bit too?

Oops.

edit: I did however give you good rep in the process.

I hate fungus AND positive rep. This puts me up to 107th place in the rep rankings. This is unacceptable!

Really? Doubtful that's the case now that someone has apparently gone on a rep assassination bender in my case, but that implies I give a damn. Something tells me that when s/he runs out of rep allowances for the day, s/he is just going to start mod-reporting my posts. Why can I never be the object of fixation for people that are WORTH it?

Meh - to quote someone on another forum I frequent, I refuse to let the "mouth-breathing retards with the social skills of a rabid fox" get me down, when quite frankly there are hundreds of other forumites here who are far more polite, well-bred, interesting, and intelligent.

Yet strangely enough, I am sitting on top again, probably the most impolite, inbred, boring, and idiotic person I know.

Apparently idiots rise to the top, because UniqueDragon is right up there with me, where he should be. But you certainly are NOT an idiots Samuraiko.

EDIT: because idiots is not censored, but the singular is for some reason? Huh? So multiple idiots are okay, but one is just BAD? That makes sense...
