I can't keep my yap shut any longer, the 'Reputation System' on this board is nothing more than a butt kissing popularity contest run by the mutual admiration society!
What a joke!
What a joke!
Don't know how long this thread will stay open but for what it is worth.........
I do know what you are saying and I understand your frustrations.
I do wish more people would get involved in the system though - I try and give out points to "posts" that I like and agree with - and not "posters". If we all did this it would make for a fairer system.
I do dislike the negative points - I don't get that. If a post is abusive or out of line it should be reported and moderated.But who are we to take points away when a lot of times it is because either through a lack of understanding or sense of humour we just don't "get" a post.
My 2 pesos worth.......

......... As I said the system is a joke.
As for this post being deleted, If it is, I'll simply think far less of the owners and mods of this board for not being able to take a little constructive criticism
.....Sorry Rio, I don't buy your argument. People whom I respect on this board KNOW IT from my responses to them & the people I DON'T respect know it too. What people think of me is up to them & I will not alter my style of communicating on this board to please (or displease) someone.......

Why do folks care of the get nothing but red squares? If you're true to yourself, I don't understand why folks would even care about any "reputation" system.SELF censorship by the GROUP as a whole is (in my opinion) far more fair & long lasting than the system sometimes employed here!! As has been argued by someone regularly ...... "too much power by the Gubmint causes loss of involvement by the masses & it is the masses that need to rule to get cohesion & an agreed/unified Movement foreward". (OK, he didn't use those words but I THINK that is what he meant!!).:bunny::bunny: :cheeky: ~ Grahame.
Perhaps this could be the subject of a Nal's poll to see what the consensus is about having or not having the point system.
Purely the 'More People Getting Involved' bit Rio. I don't give points, I don't deduct points, I don't get involved with the points system. I think I have visited my 'Reputation' section only TWICE since it started & one of those was because I was told I HAD to see what someone had written. I laughed so loud & long that tears were rolling down my face & the dogs thought I had 'Lost It'!!
When I look at the posts by some of the people who have LOTS of yellow/green squares & then equate those against the quality of content of some people who have LESS yellow/green suares, I realise there is quite a level of inequality in the way the system is operated - hence I don't even TRY to get involved. ~ Grahame.
I got about 100 negs from just three well known on this forum members. So what? I am still alive. And never paid back with the same cheap money. For me one "Thank you!" from a guy/gal for a honest useful advice is more important that tons of this stuff. I cannot care less.
AK74, who knew? You are a man of honor!

We just can be of very different cultural, family and ideologic backgrounds. For me, it is true , a person speaking up his mind openly without fear and second thought - is a person of honor, who does not play dirty games behind the back.
You may be of a very different opinion or belief - it is your perfect right. It is called "freedom of conscience".
Ya big whiner, I think I'm going to give you a BUNCH of negative points:cheeky::cheeky:I can't keep my yap shut any longer, the 'Reputation System' on this board is nothing more than a butt kissing popularity contest run by the mutual admiration society!

Give him a break.Ya big whiner, I think I'm going to give you a BUNCH of negative points:cheeky::cheeky:
Give him a break.
He didn't whine about it like some others did when they started their own threads complaining about getting bad rep points and then post in this thread, all innocent like.
Joe didn't complain about getting neg points.
He just stated that he feels the system ain't fair.
At least he's honest about his feelings.
Joe know's I'm just giving him some shyt. He's in my top 10 favorite DR1ers.Give him a break.
