Karl:
I was just jesting, sorry. I pretty much agree with you. |

I don't know if we can turn rep points off. Pam or John, or even Frank, who have been in positions of back end control of this system would know if it can be turned off or on.

I don't know what I said to make you think that I am mad at you. I must have mis-stated something.
I have no problem with Worm! I just figured out that Worm must be conserned with, I gave a rant on using real names... That applies to the flame and run crowd. It does not really bother me if a person is a stand up person, and I do not know their name, but it does bug me when they take cheap shots, and I do not know their name. It did not occur to me that I had painted too many people with my broad brush... There are many things and all kinds of shades of grey, that I am just not good at dealing with. I like black and white. I have a tendency to speak in absolutes, So, If anyperson who chooses to call themself by some fictional name wants to do so, Who am I to say anything about it? Just a loud mouth with an opinion on pretty much everything... Would I rather know your real name and have you act like a bum? No. First and foremost, I would like people to act like adults. Agree or disagree, as long as everyone is civil, it matters not... But as soon as someone starts flinging poo, and they know who Karl is, but I don't know who the flinger is, then my dander is up... So. I hope this clears some mess up that I may have caused...

Thank you. That was nice.
For that, if I ever need to use my trick on you, I'll warm my finger first. |

Now I feel so good about myself I tried to give myself a good rep point. But it wouldn't let me.
Maybe if I sign up as another name also, I could give myself good rep points back and forth and back and forth and back and forth. Hell, then I could just argue and discuss and have whole threads with postings by myself responding with my other self. Then I wouldn't need any of you. I guess I could just start my own forum with just me and me since I don't need anybody. "The Worm Chat". It will be just like the joke of the worms one end talking to the worms other end. |

But, I just had a freaky experience after the last post. I hit refresh to see if anyone responded, I had recently deleted cookies, so when I hit refresh I wasn't signed in but I didn't realize it. When you aren't signed in you can't see the button to give points. I thought that the admins saw my post about giving rep points to myself and just had enough after Karl whining and me wanting to give points to myself, and changed the whole system just then and got rid of rep points. Totally freaked me out. But then I realized I just wasn't signed in. |

Admin CP | vBulletin Options | User Reputation Options - Enable User Reputation system Yes No There are other options in that section as well. You can also find modifications to the reputation system on vB.org and other vBulletin modification sites. One site I visit (TheAdminZone.com) modified their rep system to allow only positive rep and no bad rep. But lots of sites just disable it and force members to actually talk to each other. Jim |

Truely. I have never seen another vbulletin site that used rep points. It reeks of 'default config.'
