Thanks for the response D_R - when the system lets me, I will change your rep. Feel free to send the link too.
And based on your past efforts, I would be surprised if anyone randomly badmouthed you.
Have a great day!
Go Team Venture!
I think the rep stuff is pretty funny. I am apparently shameless in my behavior. Some people have left me some great disapprove messages too. You would think I assaulted their mother.

Run a full scan and wipe it out. Dark_Respite's image has never been and will never be an ad.

I wonder how many little red or green squares you can have? Five? Ten?

I got one disreputation for, and I quote, "You kicked a puppy. I saw it." (it's true. I don't really like puppies. I would not be against punting one if it was in my way and was smelly and annoying, like many dogs are) And one from someone who speaks in lowercase and was testing disreputation. And one person gave me rep on my post in the DnD stories thread which completely blew away the other two reputizes and now I'm stuck in the green. So much for my plan to have low rep to be special and different.  |
Yes, rep is apparently anonymous in both directions.

No 'r' in 'pejorative', BTW.

There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.
Ah, reputation systems. When thinly veiled wink wink emoticon references can no longer give you enough trolling options.

You can still post what you think with it turned on, I do. At least if people are disapproving they are acknowledging reading what you post.

The rep meter doesn't bother me.

BTW, I went to the vBulletion site and found out some more stuff about Rep:
A user has two values associated with them: Reputation and Rep Power.
Reputation is the total amount of positive or negative Reputation you have.
Rep Power is the amount of Rep you can give or take away from another user. Rep Power can be set by the board owners to be based on three variables:
1. How long a person has been registered.
2. How many posts they have.
3. How much personal Reputation (or lack thereof) they currently enjoy.
What values have been set by our Mods, I do not know. But theoretically, a long time and prolific poster who has been given a lot of Reputation can give or take a big chunk of Reputation from another user.

I don't see a point. Posters with alot of positive rep will probably leave it on and most who get negative rep/are unpopular, will just turn it off.
It's a trolling device.
Hey Toony, I always liked your avitar.. It's really funny since I know what movie it's from
