    Oh, they should worry alright. We can always look if we get a complaint, there's a nice friendly admin interface for that.

    You should force it to give a comment then. I got -2 points from 1 person and I don't know why (for this thread).

    That doesn't sound abusive to me.

    There are a few messers around alright. Someone gave me negative points for this post: "It seems that points gained from people with high reputations are worth more than those gained by people with low reputations." :(

    where do you find that out?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,028 ✭✭✭✭Giblet


    I've gotten 5 different people giving me negative feedback, I love you all.

    Well I wasn't referring to that as being abusive. -_-

    I think we shouldn't take them too seriously for now and see what becomes of them :)

    I actually think that a karma/reputation system could work, but only if modelled in the form of a currency that actually represents some sort of value to the users. I've had two contributions so far. One person marked me up because of something I offered to do (although it counted for zero because the person hadn't the score to mark others up) and I only found this out after I had banned him for being a stupid twat on another thread. The other person marked me down for banning a troll account and closing the associated trolling thread on PI, presumably doing moderation duties is frowned upon by some.


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 10,501 Mod ✭✭✭✭ecksor


    I tell a lie, this thread has gotten me two more remarks, a zero and a one.

    ecksor, taking no crap since 2000.

    I've lost 6 so far in the last 24 hours :) , ah popularity is so fickle... especially when the more popular people vote against you.

    /me shakes fist at amp (who was the only one to take credit for the negative karma)
    I still <3 you amp, though I wish you were blonde.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,264 ✭✭✭JBoyle4eva


    How so you find out who gives you rep points?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,967 ✭✭✭✭Sarky


    Start a thread asking about it of course.

    No, Actually. I'm pretty sure I was right.



    There's only one thing that's worse than a grammar nazi: a grammar nazi that doesn't know what they're fúcking talking about.

    Even worse than that is when the grammar nazi is right even though you thought you had caught him out.

    They're both acceptable.

    Full of Incompetence=> containing the quality of incompetence in abundance.

    Full of incompetents=> comprised of people who are incompetent.

    Honestly, some people...


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 10,501 Mod ✭✭✭✭ecksor


    You all suck.

    Don't worry Victor, I got the joke.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,967 ✭✭✭✭Sarky


    It's 3am, of course I suck...

    Thanks for that. So how do give negative reputation? Bar telling me to waste my valuable boards.ie time actually researching it. Anyone?
    Click the Reputation button and in the popup, change the "I approve" radio button to the "I disapprove" one before clicking "Add to Reputation"

    Mucho gracias. All this would have been avoided if it worked for me when I was experimenting with what it was supposed to do.

    PS. The post you are replying to was deleted. Sorry, stuff just miraculously started working.
