I'm Turning My Rep Off

People should really be aware that if you make a personal attack in that Negative rep thing, not only can the person you are nagging read it but so can the mods.

Interestingly, I agree with PK in turning off reputation. In my experience with this version and with the stars we used to have, "reputation" systems really aren't representative of actual reputation, because people have to go out of their way to vote. As a result, it's a lot easier to get very high reputation with a good joke thread than it is with a lifetime of doing small, helpful things, and it's a lot easier to get very low reputation by holding an unpopular opinion, however justified it may be. Most posters with any meaningful amount of posts (from when reputation is introduced on) will have average reputation (if any at all) because they've been exposed to too many of both instances.

Realistically speaking, no-one outside of posters with ACTUAL reputation, like Samuraiko, Arcanaville, Philotic Knight and so on, are going to have anything close to meaningful reputation, and at that point we may as well rely on good old-fashioned "people know and respect this person," rather than a numerical representation of votes.

PK, I gave you good rep because you did some wonderful things.
And I like your guides.
And you have something precious this days... a sense of humor.
I dont agree with all your opinions on many things, but you are one of the few I actualy respect.

PK, I'm going to give you bad rep until you bring back the "Shocked PK" avatar.


Srsly, -rep.

So. Who is on your "despise list"?

We should all have positive rep which gradually increases over time. That way, we can all be special!

I think you should turn your rep meter thingy back on.
Wanna know why?
Here is why.
Because I wanna watch it go up and down through time.
You see, You will eventually make a post that irritates people...
And they will all turn on you...
Because, yanno... That is how people are.

So, turn it back on.

Hahah, I got some bad rep from my post on this thread and the ****** wrote "yes that's the point" in the comment.

So ridiculousy stupid, I'm turning it off. If you want to tell me that I suck, do it with a PM instead of hiding behind an anonymous negative rep comment.

In the old forums I used to get PMs that were like that.
You don't really want to get PMs like that.

The posting equivalent of those random-word-generator E-mail headings you get on Viagra ads. I've never seen PP post anything worth the effort to decipher.

I just stopped in for a laugh and you fail...badly

Your posts on CO are horrible

your post's are not good.

stop bragging

wish you would stop
The "stop bragging" one was mine

So - PP - I have seen plenty of good posts from you and some really bad ones so it was just circumstance that led me to one of your bad ones first.

I agree that the whole rep thing is not serving any good purpose and will likely turn mine off, even though I have yet to receive anything - I guess I don't post enough.

Oh - who am I kidding - I am too lazy to turn it off . . .

Oh no, I mean if I had the choice I'd rather not have that kind of crap at all, but if someone's going to say something to me then I want to know who they are rather than have cowardly anonymous insults thrown at me.

I really doubt the rep system will stay, it's already caused controversy.

If I told you that, then they'd know what was coming before it hit them. I'd prefer to keep it all a surprise.

All the more reason to keep it off. Then only I know. Why not "go out on top?"

Someone that has no rep (neutral) just gave me rep (that I can only assume is negative) saying "Wrong forum section, noobcake."

So.... where's the forum section for shameless self promotion, twittering, and blogging? I didn't see that section.
