As far as I know it was just a convenient keyword that obscured the true purpose of the mission while allowing farmers to easily find farms. Meow farms were just maps full of Comm Officers.

I was so disappointed when I learned that 'meow missions' had absolutely nothing to do with beating up catgirls.

From what I was told by someone that started running them when they first came out, one of the earliest Meow missions had a catgirl as the contact and just said Meow in the mission description.

If that's true, that's so ADORABLE. I'm sure Perfect_Pain would approve of that.

Thanks for the responses, I was scratching my head trying to come up with some obscure acronym invlolving comm officers ("minions exclusively, one enemy"?)

Well, the noise the portal makes after being summoned sort of sounds like a dying robo-cat.

And here's a question: Would it be considered harassment if you suspect the same person of neg'ing you for the same post over and over again?... even if the comment isn't necessarily "out of line"?

I'm getting hit by someone with a very high rep value, I suspect I know who it is, and I find it very rude. Once is enough, you've made your point, move on.

I don't get the problem, really. I know my opinions are often not well received.

I've taken no part in any rep farming threads.

Yet my rep seems healthy.

I've only received one comment that I felt deserved being modded.

I'm not sure what the big deal is.


Be well, people of CoH.

I'd PM a mod. Obviously you won't be informed if they take action against anyone, but if you do have a whole string of -reps from a single person, I'm sure something will be done about it.

There is no way to see which players are giving you "bad rep" and vile-comments. But you can probably guess who is doing it if you are getting it for anti-farming comments - it's from a Pro-farmer - and from one of the more obnoxious ones ... there are quite a few to choose from.

The REP system is worthless as it is now.
It is used as a popularity contest, artificially inflated or deflated, and used for generally mud-slinging.
If the DEVs and MODs want the REP system to really be worth something for this game, the DEVs and MODs should be the only ones voting on REP.

Send a PM to Niviene
I have sent several and have had the worst of the comments removed.

If there are people making anti-semitic comments, it appears to me that is pretty clear that banning should be the minimum action and that they should have their accounts terminated for repeating this kind of behavior. Hate-language is clearly not acceptable in the forums or in-game. It has no place here.
Of course, hate-language should be reported. This isn't some minor behavioral issue like calling me a moron, crazy, insane, illiterate, a jerk, etc - which is harassment and the forums and game do have rules against such behavior. Hate-language leads to crimes against those that it targets. It breeds hatred and indifference.

I get quite a number of nasty comments from the pro-farming crowd.
Like I care what they have to say.
I used to tolerate farming pre-AE, but the AE farming/PL-ing situation and the behavior of the nastier farmers (which seems to be the rude contingent in this game as I don't see rude comments in the forums once these individuals are on ignore) has lead me an absolute anti-farming stance.

Farming is dragging down this game at this point - from the behavior the players that come here just to farm (from a certain other game apparently) to the damage it can do to new players that are here to play a super hero/villain game.

This game used to be known for it's friendly and helpful player base. These same players that are slinging mud in the REP system are the same players that are helping to drag down the image of our community.

I may be anti-farmer, but I go out of my way to help other players.

I'm sorry that you experienced the same kind of behavior that I have. The comments that these other players send is just wrong. They are intentionally hurtful. Yes, they are intentionally trying to harass you, but, if you take a moment to think about where the comment is coming from, it really isn't worth the time of day and neither are the kind of players that would send such messages.
Use the ignore system, it is there for a reason - but always report what you think is hateful or harassment. Other people aren't as thick-skinned as some of us.

It doesn't.
And I have suggested that it should - quite a while back.

Y'know if you're really sick of seeing all those red blocks, a simple solution is to post intelligently or not at all.

I mean - look at me: I'm a farmer and a PLer and I use MA missions to both those ends. By Alt's standards I'm a blight on this game and on the forums and I should be banned as an exploiter (lol), but those little green bulbs under my name mean that apparently, most of the forumgoing playerbase doesn't agree with her, and I'm actually a nice guy. Imagine that.

You're aware though that you cant give rep more than once for a single post?

I suspect you're saying that you think the same person is -reping all your posts?

If it is the same person, a mod might be able to assist.

Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.

So sad to be ending ):

There also seems to be a delay, haven't figured out how long it is, that you can't change rep on poster after you've done so before regardless of whether it's on a new post.


Be well, people of CoH.

I know that you can't rep a person multiple times in a row... you have to give rep to others before you can "make the rounds" again.

And that doesn't necessarily stop someone who might have more than one account.

There are a couple factors that make me suspect a particular person, not the least of which is that the latest comment is nearly exactly what they said in one of their own posts.

You may be right, though... this person may just be going back and neg'ing all my related posts in a particular thread. Talk about a grudge, sheesh.

If you click on the link in the second column (after the red/gray/green jellybean), it takes you to exactly the post that was repped, not just the thread.

Yup, check which posts are getting -rep'd.

You shouldnt be able to rep the same post more than once. Not quite the same as spreading rep around.

So your possible harrasser would need to be repping oither people inbetween repping different posts by you.
