Quote:
While I appreciate Jon's outrage on my behalf, I do not wish to have people do anything to my rep points on this issue. I just wanted to point out that disbursing positive points will only make the front room of this forum a friendly place. If the cheap shots keep coming from behind the dumpster out back, then many here will still either leave, or not speak their minds for fear of a nuke. As far as giving me points, positive or negative, they should be directly related to the things I say, not the things some silly coward said to me. I am sure I often say things that make people want to give me a negative point. If it is done honestly, so be it. I like it to be signed, but if not, and there is an intelligible comment, I will not complain. I am also sure that occasionally, I say something that may be worthy of a positive point. IF this occurs, I request the same conditions. So, Thank you Jon. But I must ask that people do not do his suggestion.

Too late...you've got more pos rep. Now next time someone anonymously neg reps you, you can thumb your nose at them and know their slight has already been countered.

Interesting, I just noticed I have a Multi-byte rep post as well.
老朋友,你看起來很有精神。・老朋友,你看起来很有精神。 "Lao pung yo, nee can chi lai hun yo jing shen." "You're looking wonderful, old friend." It's kinda fun tracking this stuff down when you don't speak the language!

I guess Monster.com is trying to target a new group of candidates. Moderators do we have a Rep Troll on the loose???? |

Indeed, admins do know who gave what to who. But that's to ensure no one member is abusing the system and just handing out across-the-board positives or negatives. I can say in Karl's case, that is not the case -- the people who have given him neg reps have also given neg and positive reps to other members, so there's no clear pattern of abuse or targeting.
The rep system is based upon the "wisdom of the crowds," and therefore, in balance, if someone gives you a neg rep, it's not really going to affect your score long-term if you're a positive contributing member of the community (and most people recognize that). John

Just to re-iterate, I was not complaining about the red dot. That and others may very well be deserved from time to time. I surely understand that I often have the minority position on many topics.
It was the cheap shot I was talking about. There is a tremendous difference between mature disagreement, and a sneak hit. Lastly, I have far more positives than negatives. I did not mean for this to go this far. I am very used to cheap shots from a few members of this forum. That is life. I am no angel myself. I have been known to lob a bomb from time to time as well. The only difference is that if I have a problem with someone, I bring it up to their face, never behind their back. I am opinionated and a bit of an a$$ sometime, but never a sneak. So, with that, I respectfully request that this thread be locked.

Just a suggestion!
Maybe the admmins should consider adding a neutral rep point category. I think sometimes there are things that are neither positive nor negative but you would like to comment on for the poster. Neutral may work well!
