I'm Turning My Rep Off

Depends on whether someone's (I forget whose, I wanna say Perfect_Pain's) initial claim that negative rep comments are monitored is actually true. Snarkiness, while annoying, is par for the course. Even profanity might get through and to some degree or another let slide, but once outright attacks start (slandering someone's sexuality, or threats of violence), it'd get shut down. At least, I would very much hope so, under those circumstances.

I believe she had someone's negative rep comments removed from her list because they were THAT OBNOXIOUS. Some people here are really nasty. I don't know why they feel their internet is their personal toilet bowl.

Something like that.

So I was right that it was you. Sorry to hear it, P_P. But at least SOMEONE is keeping an eye on those things.

Anonymity makes cowards courageous.

I just received my first negative rep hit. Here was the comment:

Quote:
For having a sick and glorified abuse of women in your sig you piece of useless crap
How cute.


Be well, people of CoH.

I don't see an alert mod button on the rep section of the UserCP.

People will ignore the horns & tail & just focus on the chest if it lets them fulfill their preconceived notions of someone... or their need to feel persecuted.

Then again, the comments are anonymous. Maybe the commenter did have horns and a tail herself...


(Never liked the whole torso-impaling style in pics or movies myself, male or female, but that's more because it hits too close to home. That's my baggage, and not one to foist on someone else, though)

Cut it down to whatever the sig picture said it should be.

Here's the original:

I think it looks like they are making Whoopee.

Seriously? On a forum for a game where we consistently burn, impale, eviscerate, slash, smash, freeze, brainfry, irradiate and pummel enemies of both sexes, folks find that picture misogynistic?

Interesting. But it would be perfectly acceptable to have shown the roles reversed (which happened often in BZB lore as he and Lilitu have been "killing" each other for thousands of years,) right?


Funny part is, Perfect_Pain is correct.

But the picture doesn't show that - it just shows a male creature violently killing a female creature - and without the context of a backstory, it does look quite bad.

Ok, fair enough. Hell's a violent place.

Ah, Reputation.

Most ******* retarded idea we've seen on these forums for a while. Similar to the retarded Star system to be honest. It's simply another way for people to circle-jerk and form cliques.

T'hell with that folks. As the signature says...got something negative to say? Then have the guts to do it to my face or through a PM if you must insist on being civil. Only cowards hide behind the mask of anonymity making snide remarks.

I'm Flea. This is a forum handle, sure. But you can guarantee when I sass you or shoot your ideas down it's me doing it, not some anonymous little snippet given through a reputation system.


Now! This is it! Now is the time to choose! Die and be free of pain or live and fight your sorrow! Now is the time to shape your stories! Your fate is in your hands!

Also, Bill?

Still loving that signature. All the damn time.
