Who monitors the Neg Repers?

[Emizand]

to prove my point, i have been neg rep for that post.

edit: not 1 time, 3 atm! keep them coming guys!

How will you feel if it gets to the point where you cant post?

then i will lose my interest into post a community that cant stand the fact an opinion != to trolling or spam.

and if i really really need to post into a forum for some weird thing (cant figure a reason) i will just do a new account.

and tbh, i doubt it works that way.. as you cant just disable your rep when you want.

The Mods do. And they have handed out punitive measures to those who've abused the Rep system in the past. But, I doubt highly that they monitor each and every Neg handed out per-day.


So... report any you feel is undeserved. Because if the person handing it out has a track record of doing so for no good reason, they'll answer for it. Now, I'm not saying you should report all Neg Rep - just the ones you feel you got for reasons not in accordance with the rules. I've gotten Negged when I know I deserved it, and I don't report those. Doing that would slow things down for legit complaints, and sour the Devs on the whole appeals thing.

Just sayin'.

Unfortunately there are those who think its their right based on free speech to be nasty, insulting and some that dont even realise they are being like this or that even though it may be fine in their social group it is not acceptable in "polite" society. I wouldn't be surprised at them reporting every neg rep.

I think if posters where aware of which posts had already recieved positive or negative rep they would be likely to give more of both types.

I have been around online gaming a long time, and in my experience once someone starts throwing around the slang noob or elitist, they are often just using them to mean other "filtered" words. Just really tired of that false divide, much like other false divides like hardcore/casual, zerger/flowersniffer.

I don't think rep either way is a big deal, its less communication then a harsh or happy expression on someones face as they glance at you on a crowded street. Some of the green I don't know why I have. All the red I have deserved, at least in the last year or so. Give it out, neg rep that person that farted in the elevator, thumbs up the one who points out the absurd, or gives good answers to questions.

Edit: Skave, disabling rep just disables the display of it, and the notification you get when you recieve rep of either color.
Someone who gives you rep either way, can still how many green or red boxes you have.

Which I see as a problem. Overall my opinion is now that the rep system could be a positive but needs an overhaul.

Personally I would think a minority use this tactic.

Total agreement


Thanks for the input Lleren its been useful.

Things getting to the point where one is unable to post is not exactly a deterrent when you can make as many accounts to post with as you want for free.

Really this is not true at all

Then let em.
It just brings their behavior to the attention of the Mods all the quicker. Better yet, they literally bring it upon themselves.
