Reputation?

[ViciousSummer]

I was looking through the members profiles on this forum and there is a "reputation" box...What is that?

[Mr T]

Shawns got a thread about it somewhere...

[relaxzoolander]

i am not sure...but i dont get a good feeling about the black square. :eek:

[digitalpoint]

It means you have it disabled for your account (under the user control panel).

- Shawn

[relaxzoolander]

woohoo!
we have a code green!....code green! :D

[ViciousSummer]

It means you have it disabled for your account (under the user control panel).

- Shawn
Okay, so "green" means reputation is enabled, but what the hell does "reputation" mean? And why is everyone so secretive about it....
:rolleyes:

[relaxzoolander]

1
a : overall quality or character as seen or judged by people in general
b : recognition by other people of some characteristic or ability
<has the reputation of being clever>
2 : a place in public esteem or regard : good name

.....:).....

[digitalpoint]

It's kind of like PageRank... users vote for other user's reputation (by clicking on the scale), and it's weighted by how "important" they are within the forum. It works like this right now:

Everyone starts with a reputation of 10
You can alter other people's reputation by 1 point by default
For every 365 days after you register, your altering power increases by 1
For every 1,000 posts, your altering power also increases by 1
For every 100 reputation points that other's give you, your altering power increased by 1
User must have at least 50 posts before they can affect other's reputation
You must have a reputation of 10 or higher to be able to affect others (it's 10 by default)
You can alter up to 10 user's reputations per day
You must alter different user's reputations before you can alter the same user's again


That clear it up? :)

[relaxzoolander]

oh man...
is there a class that teaches this stuff.
it got lost half way throught that list.
oy! :eek:

[ViciousSummer]

Yay! You answered my question! Thank you "Master of the Universe"!
:D

[digitalpoint]

oh man...

Yeah... but they upper division classes, so they have lots of prerequisites. So not really worth going. Although I hear the job market for graduates with a masters in Reputation is pretty good.

do they accept GED?

[digitalpoint]

If you have a GED, I think they give you the Reputation degree by default.

[compar]

Almost. Where do you go to add or delete these reputation points.

Can I vote for myself? :D

[digitalpoint]

You can click on the http://forums.digitalpoint.com/images/buttons/reputation.gif icon next to someone's post (if you click on it yourself, you see your reputation, but you can't vote for yourself). :)

- Shawn

[compar]

Where do you go to add or delete these reputation points.

I found it. You click on the scales of justice in the blue bar just above the green reputation box.

[ViciousSummer]

Okay then, this the deal...Everyone must go to my website and purchase some frilly panties, OR I will ruin your reputation :eek: !! Blackmail rules (unless you're stupid enough to try & blackmail Google & end up in jail...hehe).

[digitalpoint]

Too bad you need 50 posts before you can affect other user's reputation. :)

- Shawn

[ViciousSummer]

no problem

[ViciousSummer]

I'm pretty resourceful...

[ViciousSummer]

And, your the 1st one I'm taking down, DP. ;)

[relaxzoolander]

Too bad you need 50 posts before you can affect other user's reputation. :)

- Shawn
so if we all start with 10...then no one will every be affected and no one will ever get 50 points to affect anyone and its a catch 22. :eek:

[ViciousSummer]

so if we all start with 10...then no one will every be affected and no one will ever get 50 points to affect anyone and its a catch 22. :eek:

50 posts, not points ;). (And this makes 42 posts for me, so 8 more and I can start taking you all down!)

[compar]

Okay then, this the deal...Everyone must go to my website and purchase some frilly panties, OR I will ruin your reputation :eek: !! Blackmail rules (unless you're stupid enough to try & blackmail Google & end up in jail...hehe).

I'll buy some of your frilly panties anyway. Most of mine are getting pretty worn.:cool: But I don't think you can cast a negative vote. As far as I can see when you click on the scales of justice it is an automatic plus vote.

So I don't know what we do with jerks who deserve a bad reputation?

[sarahk]

but it can't be 50 posts because I'm there already and I've only just got grunted :)

[GuyFromChicago]

but it can't be 50 posts because I'm there already and I've only just got grunted :)

Grunted at 30 posts...you're at 36.

[pstatus]

Hey, it's kind of like ebay i guess.... a "feedback" type system encouraging people to play nicely. COOOL

[anthonycea]

Damm well right, I am voting against Shawn and VS, Shawn for making this dammed software to get my live link permissions shut down and VS for conspiring to get all of the members to vote against me, no one in the history of this forum has ever had a campaign run against them like the one VS ran against me.

Remember that it is election time and these campaigns can get nasty Shawn and VS. :eek:

The time for payback will be very soon.......remember payback is doublefold.......... :eek:

[SEO_AM]

Just a thought... Maybe one or more members can have their titles changed from Berserker to "Just a Jerk." :rolleyes:

There you go with your conspiracy theories again...and again...and again...

Rather then repeating yourself, why don't you just creat an anti-VS page and post the link here...oh wait...you can't :p...

I would just tell you straight up if I actually was conspiring against you, but time is money and you're not worth my time, honestly.

Remember that it is election time and these campaigns can get nasty Shawn and VS. :eek:

Whoa. Scary, anthoneycea. I'm shaking in my flip flops.

[Owlcroft]

I'm shaking in my flip flops.
Didn't those once used to be called "step-ins"?

Of course, I'm only guessing what "flip flops" are.

[ViciousSummer]

Didn't those once used to be called "step-ins"?

They have so many different names, I wouldn't doubt that they are called step-ins, also :D . Just about every where I have traveled I discover a new name for my flip flops, step ins, thongs, house shoes, sandals, beach skippers, etc. etc. :p

[anthonycea]

Oh, my old freind SEOAM, one of the little ones that likes to send PM to moderators, where is your friend Zoolander, maybe he can come here and send some PM to Shawn, I am sure you will pitch in.

How does it feel to be famous on the forum circuit SEOam, you know you and Zoolander were the subjects of a very hot thread here on DP.

Now VS, don't get to close to these two, I would not want to put you in the baby catagory, I like the other side when they are fair, but to conspire to get a member banned like Zoolander and SEOAM did to me at SEOCHAT, by sending PM to moderators, now that is the definition of a real couple of jerks.

:eek:

SEOAM, can you answer a YES or NO question yet? Now when you can not win a debate, do you still like to get the other side that is correct banned, when you are not able to fabricate an answer or find any facts to back up your positon?

[compar]

Back to the repuation question. When you mouse over the scales of justice it says "Add to name's reputation". Does that mean a negative vote is impossible?

And just out of interest what is the highest reputation on the forum. I don't want to know who, just the points?

[anthonycea]

Bob, I think that VS and her gang have already got me as low as possible on the Shawn Scale.

I do not think there is a level lower than where they have me :eek:

[SEO_AM]

SEOAM, can you answer a YES or NO question yet?

Answer: Yes

Question: Do you debate nitwits?

Answer: No

Question: Do you think this nitwit adds anything to this forum?

Answer: No

Bye!

[anthonycea]

No Bob, just ask VS, she knows all about giving negative votes.

Just disapprove of every post you do not like, I think VS and the gang disapproved of all of my posts so far, so that is all you have to do.

I think I am going to go on strike against Shawn soon for inventing this software. :eek:

By the way VS, I never voted against you, should I start?

Shawn, can I vote against you too?

[GuyFromChicago]

I think I am going to go on strike against Shawn soon for inventing this software. :eek:


lol, the reputation software is part of the standard vBulletin package. We give Shawn enough credit for everything he does - he doesn't need credit for things he didn't do :D

I did a see a post about how Shawn invented the Internet though...let me see if I can find it ;)

[schlottke]

I really don't know about the reputation thing. I've given out only positives..

[compar]

Ok.

I'll answer my own question. After you click on the Scales of Justice you do get an opportunity to cast a positive or negative vote for the specific post.

So if we all start with 10. Is it possible to go into the hole? If so I'd guess our friend Anthony is probably -100 by now :D

[anthonycea]

Yea Guy from Chicago, I am all for not giving Shawn Credit too.

Now wait, we must let Shawn respond on this, did he alter the V package somehow to get me lowered to the depths of never live linking again.

Or did VS somehow rig the vote against me, sort of sounds like the last Presidential Election, the vote in Florida were rigged against Al Gore, yes I know that Shawn and Al Gore have a lot in common.

They both take too much credit, I think on balance, I still see some light at the end of the tunnel for Shawn, too bad for me that I am halfway in the tunnel and Shawn is a Freight train rolling down the tracks to run me over.

:mad:

[anthonycea]

Yes Compar, when I looked this morning I was -58 in the hole. Thanks alot VS and the Gang.

I will be sure to post more intelligence for you all, you have been good to me, so I am sure to return the favor.

In fact I have just cut VS and Shawn out of my will this morning :eek:

[compar]

:mad:
Anthony, you've reached a new plateau. You've now managed to insult someone and whine about how abused you are in the same sentence.

You seem to have a very strongly developed death wish. You seem to be working like hell to insult and abuse everyone until you get barred from this forum. Is that simply so you can go onto the next one and bad mouth this forum?

I personally hope we just ignore you to death, but never give you the satisfaction of saying that you were kick off this forum.

[anthonycea]

Compar, I don't think Shawn will look at it as an insult, I don't think you should.

If you look at the context of this thread you will see that I am answering Guy From Chicago, so don't get too uptight about what I say, some things are ment to be serious, others in jest.

I hope you can tell the difference. :eek:

[GuyFromChicago]

Yes Compar, when I looked this morning I was -58 in the hole. Thanks alot VS and the Gang.


The only person to blame for you being at -58 is YOU.

There are quite a few members at this forum and I'm willing to bet you are the one in the "negative."

Think about that. It's not a conspiracy, it's a democracy.

Stop trying to hijack every thread with the intent of making it about YOU. You spend way too much time posting about YOU and how people are against YOU. Try posting in a way that brings value to this forum & you just might see your rep improve.

[anthonycea]

I don't know where you get that GFC, the thread is on reputation, that is what we have been discussing, where you come on with the Fatherly advice and the add value to the forum stuff is from left field.

I would say your post made the thread about me, not any of mine. :eek:

I was not talking about this thread - I was talking about your posts in general.

Also, what I sadi about your reputation hold true - start posting things that are worht reading and you might see a turn-around.

[digitalpoint]

Shawn, can I vote against you too?
Of course.

[anthonycea]

Yeah, that would be like voting against Bush in Florida, you know his brother Jeb is Governor here.

I would not waste my time voting against you, unless I can vote you off the forum Shawn, is that possible? :eek:

[ViciousSummer]

...I would not waste my time voting against you...

Then why did you bother asking?

You can vote against me too anthonycea. AND, I promise to not waste everyone's time by *repeatedly* whining about the fact that you voted negatively against me.

[ViciousSummer]

...Now VS, don't get to close to these two, I would not want to put you in the baby catagory...

Are you threatening to "blacklist" me again? Hurry up and do it already so you can stop talking about it.

...Now when you can not win a debate, do you still like to get the other side that is correct banned, when you are not able to fabricate an answer or find any facts to back up your positon?

Looks alot like you're talking about yourself in the 3rd person, anthonycea. I think the funniest thing about you is that when you can't win a debate (or when someone points out the fact that you're being a jackass), you say you were kidding or lying or you just start at the beginning again.

[anthonycea]

VS do you always mold a conversation in any fashion you wish?

Please do not give me those sorts of responses, I may die laughing, after all I am 45, you would not want to give old TB a stroke now, would you?

Nobody believes you, na, na, na, na, na, still love you no matter how much you attack me. XOXO love and computer kisses. :eek: :eek: :eek:

[anthonycea]

You can vote against me too anthonycea. AND, I promise to not waste everyone's time by *repeatedly* whining about the fact that you voted negatively against me.


The above quote is from VS

Yes VS but can I rally the troops like you did, that I doubt, but like I said, I cut you and Shawn out of my will this morning, payback is doublefold, remember.....

:eek: :eek:

[schlottke]

I really wish you'd make one post that didn't have the names, "VS, Compar, or Shawn" or contains " :eek: " ...

[anthonycea]

I just did in response to your Anti-Christ post.

[ViciousSummer]

...after all I am 45...Nobody believes you, na, na, na, na, na, still love you no matter how much you attack me. XOXO love and computer kisses. :eek: :eek: :eek:

A *very* mature 45 at that...yikes.

[anthonycea]

I am just trying to relate to you VS, now have you and Compar pounded me enough today, or do I have more unjust punishment from you and Bob to come? :eek:

And when did I ever lose a debate, can you illustrate?

Or can you tell us when I lied to this forum?

The Jackass part is true, I can be an ARSE when I need to be.

So you were right on 1 out of 3 of your statements, at least I am honest VS.

[Owlcroft]

Just about every where I have traveled I discover a new name for my flip flops, step ins, thongs, house shoes, sandals, beach skippers, etc. etc.
I reckoned that was likely what was meant.

In fact, though, "step-ins" (also just "stepins") was the prevalent term in the '20s and '30s for the product you sell. I have only encountered the term in the humorous fiction of Thorne Smith (Topper is his best-known, though not his best, work, but they're all riotously funny), where it occurs quite often--Marian Kirby is a lot looser than the character on the severely white-washed TV series with Leo G. Carroll, and a pair of "step-ins" occupied by a shapely but invisible ghost, clad in nothing else, running down Main Street is the sort of thing one finds regularly in Smith's works, which I urgently recommend to anyone who can find them in a library.

When I first ran into the term, I had to look it up on line to be sure it meant what it seemed to, and yes, it shows up in news reports from that era.

[Doogles]

Whether Shawn invented it or not, this is one of the nicest implementations of vBulletin I have seen.

[anthonycea]

NO COMMENT, but I do know those who have voted against me for no reason.

[digitalpoint]

No you don't... you may think you do, but I guarantee you are wrong. :)

[SEbasic]

It's happened, so now let's forget about it.

Come on Guys, give a Peon a break. So it is a stupid post, but it is his/her first ever in this forum. Maybe it is the first ever in any forum. Hopefully s/he will learn. If it happens a second time then you can get upset, but frankly I'm going to give everyone who jumped all over this post a demerit point.

[isaiasd2003]

Is that why it says Peon under my username? lol

[compar]

uh, where are these reputation points you speak of?
The first place they appear is as either a green or red square on the top right of your post right after it gives the number for the number of posts you have made.

You give people points by clicking on the scales icon at the top right of a person's post. You can see the last few votes you got if you go to your own control panel -- see the menu bar top left item "User CP".

I think that does it. Now after you have posted 50 messages you can come back to this post and click on my scale and give me some positive rep for helping you. :) :)

[Audrey the Editor]

I am quite new to this forum. I visited when an acquaintance gave me the URL. I thought it would be a good place to learn more about Web business and share the things I'm good at.

While checking out various threads, I came on one about swearing in the forum. I replied to a comment made by a member who said that everyone swears. I don't and said so. I said so respectfully. Not only were some of the replies disrespectful in tone, but when I went back to the Use CP link, I noticed that I had a red mark by name. The explanation? "I disagree."

I came to this thread, looking for some clarification. I moderate a private forum that does not have a ranking system. If it did, I would expect it to relate to something about the quality of a person's replies, rather than to whether current members agree with opinions or not.

As I've read through this entire thread, I've tried to understand the culture of this forum. It seems there is a lot of banter between people who seem to know each other. Some of it involves the sort of punch-in-the-arm cameraderie I see "guys" using with each other to express affection.

It also seems there are some comments that are intended as personal insults.

Am I reading this correctly?

If I expect my ideas to be taken seriously and treated with the sort of respect I afford others and their ideas, should I stay in this forum or pack up my tent and go elsewhere?

As a new person, I have no desire to impose my culture. I only want to understand the culture I find myself in here.

[noppid]

Impose anything you want and just take it on the chin from those who disagree with you for no rhyme or reason. The cream will float to the top. :)

If you think like you are in your post, you'll go crazy here. Most will tell you exactly how they feel. That's life. Use what you can and discard the rest.

[Audrey the Editor]

You've used two words that are clarifying things for me.

Think and feel.

I do try to keep posts in a forum about Web business in the thinking realm.

And I think you have answered my question. The culture here is about letting feelings all hang out regardless of the effect that might have on someone else.

It would be repugnant for me to impose my ideas. Share them, yes. Impose them, no.

And I certainly have no need to put my chin anywhere if the expectation is that it will be socked. Not only am I not equipped for fisticuffs, I have no desire to enter training for that.

I am a person who takes some joy in sharing what I know. I teach as well as edit. I also love to learn. The effective exchange of ideas happens best in an atmosphere of respect. (I'm defining effective here to mean an exchange in which a person hears what someone else is saying and seriously considers the merits and possibly changes -- learns.)

I've been a little taken aback by several comments I've come across, where one person asks for feedback, gets it in what sounds to me like a helpful neutral comment, and comes back with a defensive comment, sometimes suggesting the person who offered an opinion was less than intelligent. In my experience, those kinds of defensive comments are born of fear, which is definitely in the feeling category.

I have no need to change the culture of this fourm. I only wanted to understand it so I could decide if it was a place I would choose to spend some of my valuable time.

It's been a very interesting experience.

Your comment helped me see what is at the foundation. And you are right, this environment would drive me crazy.

[sarahk]

There is a fascination with reputation and the garnering of it which is quite amusing. The best reputation is one which is a side effect of going about your business. And I suspect that alot of the reputation given is for witty rejoinders in the Chat forums and not for comment and advice in the "business" part of the forum.

I first became aware of reputation when one very vocal member joined and gained himself a bad reputation and complained because his outspokeness gained him many black marks. We've since learned how to manage him ;)

I know that other members actively chase reputation points with the same enthusiasm as I used to collect girl scout badges! They're also actively trying to boost their post count...

If you build a community there may be banter and if so you need to give that some space. I'd say try to keep it clean and use the forum software to automate that - but other than that how tight you want it is up to you. Some people will not like heavily moderated forums. I know another where there has been an exodus since full moderation was turned off.

Hope this helps :)

One way to get lots of greens is to complain about unfair reds, there will be about 20 people that give you a red to "make up for it" :)

I have mixed feelings about reputation. It is sort of nice to rate people, so that they can't post live links or such if they spam, or something of the like. But it also can easily get out of hand. People rate you down for no reason at all... I tend to do the oposite. The only thing I ever give reds for is people spamming their ref. url :)

I just give out greens at random ;)

[MELLA]

Green rep people and demand they green rep you back. Ay Joshy! :p :D

hehehe glad ur back, kidda..

[minstrel]

Just don't get confused about it. Once I tried red repping people and demanding that they green me back, but it didn't work :eek:

[compar]

In some of the fights about red rep etc. some people have accused others of being the constant source of the red reps. But that really isn't possible. I don't know how much rep you have to spread around before you can rep the same person twice, but it is substantial.

So if you really wanted to attack someone via the rep system you'd have to spend all day repping everyone else on the forum before you could get back and hit your target even a second time let alone multiple times.

[digitalpoint]

Not only that, but you can only give so much rep per day. Which means you can only "hit" the same person once every few days at best.

This may have been covered before, but I'll admit I'm too lazy to search for the answer. What is a black square rep? I got an unsigned one the other day.To my knowledge it means that persons reputation was not high enough (10+) to count as positive (green) or negative (red).

I'd read that list before and I still don't see how it explains a black rep square???? Sorry to be so thick.

[digitalpoint]

Black rep just means the user couldn't affect your reputation for whatever reason (based on something on that list).

[Blogmaster]

Not that it really matters, but what is the difference between blue and black rep?

This post on a Women's Tennis Forum :-) seems to answer a lot of questions about reputation it's a bit old but seems to still be relevant - Here's the link http://www.wtaworld.com/showthread.php?t=59544 and the post



About the bubbles and their colors:

next to your posts you see a little bubble. It can be black, green, gray or red - and there can be more than one. If you put your arrow over it a little info-label will come up, telling you something about your reputation. The better your reputation, the more flattering the info.
.
BLACK means your reputation is "off": others won't be able to see how you are doing reputation-wise. You can put it on or off in your user cp: click on user cp, click on options - it's the second option in the list.
.

GREEN means you have a good reputation. I think this means you have AT LEAST 1 point. First you'll get an extra one for every 100 points you reach; later on you'll need more than 100 points for each extra bubbles...
.

GRAY means you don't have a particular reputation. I THINK it means you have less than 1 point (and more than what? minus 10? I don't know.)
.

RED means you have a really bad reputation...
.


About points: looking them up, giving, and taking away...:
at the right from the "On/offline"-button you can see a little gray button which is supposed to represent a balance (in the red skin it's still the old mark right now - maybe it will change later). If you click on it under one of your own posts, a little window will pop up to tell you how many points you have. You'll also be able to see if that particular post has been approved or disapproved of, since every approval and disapproval (with their comments) will appear in the popup window.
Another way to check your points in in your user control panel. You'll see he amount of points you have + the last five fifteen persons who rated you. (changed end June 2003 - thanks Danny)
.

A rating is positive if it's been represented by a green bubble .
.

It is neutral when the bubble is gray (the person rating you has not enough posts or reputation to give or take points).
.

It is negative when the bubble is red .
.
if you click on the "balance" (or the "v/x"-mark ) under a post of someone else, again a little window will pop up - but now you'll be able to choose between "I approve of this post" or "I disapprove". You cannot choose the amount of points you give or take away. That depends on several other things:
.

on the amount of POSTS you have. If you have a lot of posts, you'll give (or take!) a lot of points... if you have at least some reputation.
.

on the amount of REPUTATION POINTS you have. If you don't have any reputation at all (ie: your bubble is gray or red) you won't be able to give points. If you have a lot of points, you'll give (or take!) a lot of points... if you have at least some posts.
.

on seniority: the longer you're a member, the more points you'll be worth.
.
There is still a lot of guessing in this, since it is not always clear why some people give so much more than others...
This is what webmaster WTA_amanda has said about it:
"Your reputation is also built up by how long you've been a member, the amount of posts you make, and a few other hidden factors like kissing up to adminstrators and moderators for example." An admin is able to rate without "spreading"- or "24 hours"-limitations... but he'll be giving only 10 50 points each time (see also "About restrictions") correction (July 2003): this has been changed from 10 to 50 points.
.

the amount of points you can take away (by disapproving of a post) is only about half of what you would give (by approving)
.

About comments: giving them, looking them up...:
when somebody rates you, you will be able to see which post s/he rated (or rather: to which thread the rated post belongs), when (date and time) s/he rated it, and who it was. You'll also see their comment - if they made one. You can see this info in your user cp. There is one restriction: you'll only see the last five fifteen... so if you receive a lot of reps while you're not aware of it (or while you're not around...) you may have missed a lot of your approvers/disapprovers... (Since this changed end June 2003 from five to fifteen, it's less probable you'll miss a lot of comments - thanks Danny!)
when rating somebody you can leave them a little comment. (You don't have to leave your name: it will automatically be attached.)
you can click on the rated thread, that will take you to the post that was rated...
.

About restrictions:

As far as I know, there are three restrictions in rating:
you cannot rate the same post more than once
.

you cannot rate the same person again unless you have "spread some reputation around" first - meaning, you have to rate others first (last report said 20, and 20 it is - thanks Toon)
.

you can rate only 11 posters in 24 hours (again: thank you Toon); after that you'll have to wait till you're able to rate again...
An admin can rate without the "spreading" and "24 hours"-limitations... but he'll never give much (only 10 50 points...) correction (July 2003): this has been changed from 10 to 50 points
.

11 green dots: > 1500 points
=> no new dots to be had
1501 to 2000 "has a brilliant future"

[Weirfire]

Don't use the lord's name in vain. Ned's rules.

James 4:11

11Brothers, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it. 12There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you—who are you to judge your neighbor?


I'm not telling you this to judge you Ned, I'm telling you this because of this verse;


Proverbs 9:9

9 Instruct a wise man and he will be wiser still;
teach a righteous man and he will add to his learning.

[yfs1]

I actually don't believe IamNed is religious at all. If anything I think he is the opposite and cites religion as an excuse.

He has shown no compassion and has attacked people here (especially those trying to help others) for absolutely no reason.

He is basically just a kid trying to irritate people best he can. He lost his sig so maybe the novelty will just wear off :rolleyes:

[Weirfire]

yeah I know that. But people reading his posts might not see it that way and just view all christians to be judgemental. So when he makes an abusive post with religion as his shield I will be there to reveal the fact there is no shield at all.

I'd have to agree with you there. I've got a feeling he's one of these juvenile people who get a kick out of pretending they're from this or that religion just to slander it ("Oh look, people think I'm religious and now they're all angry at these types!!1!L0llolololl")

But when you become a Christian you don't all of a sudden become this perfect person. It's more of a journey into becoming more Christ like.

Personally, I have done some pretty nasty things in my life but the Christian belief (and mine) is that all these things were forgiven when Jesus died on the cross if only people believe.

Number of rep points you can give depends on

2.) Your own rep
3.) Length of membership

Yes it is stupid, and I can pull up the little thread where you admit to repping me anonymously, but really don't feel like getting in there. "The one other member" I don't care about one way or the other. You guys try to make yourselves a little more important than you are around here.

And to answer this question: No. But privately you did what you always do - assumed (incorrectly again) that it was me and anonymously red-repped me "back", right?
I have redded you, but not as much as you have redded me and your mysterious friend who we both know who it is. get over yourself Minnie and don't assume others are stupid. Things have gotten better but at one point you and your little group have used repping as a form of trying to intimidate or moderate in here so that you could help your "one other member" friend spam his site over and over again. That is what I'm tired of, the games and intentions behind it all.

I don't care how it's spelt Minnie, it's you who is the one. Red repping people drive by style and then pretending that assumptions would be unsubstanciated. Then you seem to get on people about linking to their sites acting like the forum spam patrol and at the same time you help your anonymous friend spam his site more than anyone else here has gotten away with it. That is where hypocricy is. Sure, Minnie, run now. Try to keep your face. You should also take a long hard look in the mirror before you project onto others what you don't like about yourself.

3. because you're an idiot


Sure I am the hypocrite here :rolleyes: Nice efforts trying to discredit someone else. What a waste of time ... but you shouldn't keep on lying - maybe it wasn't you who did it this time, but it was definitely your style. About me redding "your friend": what makes you think that I did? I have recently redded him and left my name when I did so. That was atfer I have just received a red mark and after clicking the link to the thread saw his name, clicked on it and it still said "giving reputation".

Sure Minnie, I'm imagining all that. Truth is that you've got caught and then admitted it, while you are cowardly mentioning me redding your friend. It's not the same thing, I have left my name. Nice detective work. That is the difference here: you deceive, I lay it out in the open. I guess people with beards do have a lot to hide :rolleyes:

Edit: and I have not even mentioned your name in here until you came in and started your little game.

[corena]

Corena now pretends she is an ostrich and hides her head in the sand

[Blogmaster]

And so should everyone else. It's a shame that Minstrel is going back to the same insane state of mined he was in when AnthonyCea was trolling these threads :rolleyes:

[ViciousSummer]

I was? Well, someone just redded me with this :rolleyes:
Haha...that was me. Didn't I sign it? I can't have you trying to get on top of my brother :eek: ...haha. I was just f-ing with you, so quit jumping on Minstrel ;).

You guys are SO serious about this rep thing, it's funny...

[corena]

Corena pulls her head out of the sand long enough to say.." I am so gonna get some socks from your site Summer!"

[Blogmaster]

Haha...that was me. Didn't I sign it?
lol was it really you? I hate you too :mad: :rolleyes: edit: no, not signed!

P.S.: you prolly deserved your speeding ticket :cool:

[Will.Spencer]

I can't have you trying to get on top of my brother :eek:

Very bad visual.

OK guys, thank you for making things a little better with some greenies ... but what's up with being called names when being greened!

I've never tried to be more helpful. How could that possibly offend anyone?

can't say that I can see anything wrong with that one compar.
Half the fun of the rep system is trying to work out why you got what you did :D

That's probably one of the most ignorant, insensitive, offensive and outright nasty posts I've seen here at DP, Compar.

I'm surprised you got just ONE red for that. :(

Whatever floats your boat. I'm glad you enjoyed it:D

I got a greenie from Minstrel, which was very generous of him considering that I still have him on my ignore list. Maybe I should rethink that.

His advice was not to worry about the reds. I appreciate this advice and have had it from several other people. The interesting thing is that the people who tell you not to worry all have tons of green bars. Nobody with only two or three bars ever tells you that. So my reaction to this advice is always "that's easy for you to say".

But thank you Minstrel in any case.

[minstrel]

You're welcome, Bob. But feel free to keep me on your ignore list... :D

[compar]

[Blogmaster]

Minnie, we both know you're one of those anonymous red repping cowards - problem is that I have caught you and you admitted to it, funny how since then you have stopped participating in talking about cowards :rolleyes:
Minnie, did your anonymous friend just rep me here?

[minstrel]

Seeing boogeymen again, Toots? :rolleyes:

How the hell should I know who's red-repping you? I can well understand why people want to do it but it's not like they're all in my employ... Get a life.

[Blogmaster]

So you're saying I am imagining you and your little group ganging up on people?

[Blogmaster]

anyways, we both know the answer .. let's move on, not that important !

[minstrel]

So you're saying I am imagining you and your little group ganging up on people?
You're certainly imagining something - I don't know and don't really care what exactly.

There is no "little group", or if there is I'm not a member of it, and I'm not "ganging up" on anyone - I admit I definitely neither like or respect you but that's hardly a secret, is it?

I'd suggest you stop publicly airing your paranoia. I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks you're a total moron - stop blaming me every time somebody red reps you.

sorry Minnie, but the propaganda is on you and your little click trying to gain some sort of power by mass red repping people you guys target. You seem to forget that at some point I was somewhat associated with some of you guys and being asked to participate. I know what you guys were trying to do and I am thankful to say that it failed, you guys failed and withdrew to your pathetic little place where AC spend post after post slandering digitalpoint and some members. Funny how over there you act so differently and have some bad words about this forum as well. Yet you have as many posts as me. Seems to be true: once a hypocrite, always a hypocrite. Not limited to specific areas, just generally speaking.

[minstrel]

Unbelievable.

Look - this is the last comment I have on this little delusion of yours and then I'll leave it to you to post your usual three or four posts in a row about how you "could care less" (sic):

1. the word is clique, not click
2. if there is a clique targeting you, I don't know about it and don't care about it, although I wish them luck
3. you were NEVER associated with me in any way whatsoever, although you may have wanted to be - I thought you were a self-promoting sycophant from the time I first became aware you existed
4. if any one ever asked you to participate in anything, it sure wasn't me and I definitely didn't have anything to do with it - you asked me to participate in some lame-brained anti-DMOZ scheme and I politely but firmly declined
5. I'd like you to show me please where you think I slandered this forum - I'm sure I have probably said some negative things about you but I'm not making any secret of that

[jlawrence]

......(sic).....:

Minstrel, been meaning to ask this for a while.
What does sic stand for (or mean) when used in this sort of context ?
Obviously not 'standard industrial classifications' like I'm used to.

[minstrel]

It's used to indicate/emphasize that the writer is aware that it is incorrect usage or spelling but that it was how the word or expression appeared in the original/cited text or statement (from the Latin term "sic" meaning "thus", apparently).

[Will.Spencer]

I have decided that since it bothers people so much, I am not going to anonymously red rep people anymore.

In the spirit of fairness, I will divide my red reps evenly by signing half of them "Minstrel" and signing the other half "MD". :cool:

[minstrel]

That's very decent of you, Will :D

[Blogmaster]

3. you were NEVER associated with me in any way whatsoever, although you may have wanted to be - I thought you were a self-promoting sycophant from the time I first became aware you existed
Once again: you're using offense as your best defence. Self promotion on your part was maybe not about your own sites, but "the other guy"'s who you have helped spam again and again. It doesn't matter whose site someone spams. Spam is spam. Trust me, I never felt the need to be in any clique, not here. I like this forum just the way it is. And the last group I have wanted to be in was one that contains you, your crazy friend AC, and your "no name friend" and all of the garbage that brings along with it. I've slept with dogs before, and it takes too long to get rid of the fleas.

[corena]

hmmm me think you guys should start your own thread..call it..how to hold a grudge in twenty long drawn out lessons.

I was over a long time ago, then went into "Minstrel's friend"'s forum a month ago and got attacked over stuff that happened a year ago. Most of the attack was from that idiot AC who hasn't posted here in months and hopefully never will be doing so again. He still is in there trolling and slandering people on here. Great crowd :D Too bad I cannot be a part of that :rolleyes:

[Blogmaster]

Just for the record: I have offered peace to Minstrel at several occasions and he doesn't want it. So who is holding the grudge?

[Crazy_Rob]

AH HA HA HA HA HA! You guys are too much!

See attachment for the slander of Digital Point!

Can you give the forum the link to where Anthony (AC) slandered Shawn and the other members here?

[Blogmaster]

Why not, it's right here (http://www.vbwebmaster.com/forums/showthread.php?p=8307#post8307) and this (http://www.vbwebmaster.com/forums/showthread.php?p=6800#post6800) was where I had my last appearance and was being attacked by psycho and doofus. Of course I am only imagining it :rolleyes:

[Blogmaster]

Read the first post on the "this" link and tell me how pathetic that is. Like I've said to someone just in a PM: my mistake was to even let myself be dragged into this :rolleyes:
edit: fyi, my first post in there was commenting in a totally different thread and on-topic to the theme of the thread started by another member. Once the attacks started, that part of the thread was merged with the one that AC has started hoping to instigate something. I guess when no one took the bait, they have decided to simply fill up the thread and create some quantity over quality content.

[Old Welsh Guy]

Oh man this is so funny it goes beyond Irony.

I make a post about being given red rep for swearing (post 189 ish on this thread) , and how the rerepper was too gutless to name themselves, and guess what?

Yep you guessed, I got anonymous red rep for it... That has had me giggling about it ! :D,

How is either "this" or "that" evidence of my slandering this forum, Toots?

Please stop the games, Minstrel and reread who I've said was slandering. You appearantly have nothing but criticism to give about this forum outside of this forum either, but I have never said that you have slandered, so please stop spinning words because you're out of defenses (the evidence is right there).

Sorry, Minstrel, don't have time to look it up. But just like in my previous posts here, I was able to back up everything that I have stated. There have been numerous posts of yours on vbwebmaster where you have been critical over how Shawn operates DP. It's also amazing that you haven't felt a need to step in and stop AC's slander like Noppid did. You are a 2-face and change your fassade according to the territory.

edit: just took a look at "that" place and noticed you haven't been posting there in a while. What's the matter Minnie, you're fli flopping and like it here now? :rolleyes:

[minstrel]

That's your claim. And you provided apparently what you thought was "evidence" but if it's there I missed it. You've made a direct personal accusation here, Toots. Now produce the "evidence" of my "slandering" or "saying bad things" about this forum or shut the hell up.

And by the way, it's "facade", not "fassade" :rolleyes:

Interesting. That "evidence" you provided does document the background to this "clique" you claimed you were asked to join though - except it documents how the person asking other people to join turned out to be you: http://www.vbwebmaster.com/forums/showthread.php?t=914&page=3&pp=20

[Blogmaster]

Do you condone your friend AC's behaviour and words? I'd be curious to get the answer on that one while I find your "Shawn should", "Shawn doesn't seem to understand" etc. posts.

[anthonycea]

So your forum is "Like Digital Point without all the Nut cases", right Mike?

You are starting to sound EXACTLY like Anthonycea. According to Anthony, I also have a huge army of red reppers out to get him. :rolleyes:

Why is anyone wasting their time worrying and whining about rep?

Mike, Minstrel...Take your beef to PM, no one gives a shit that you guys don't like each other. Thanks.

I think I'm starting to get it, people don't want to hear about rep. You are starting to sound EXACTLY like Anthonycea.

I have an idea, I will just red rep Shawn



Your too worried about rep - and that is exactly why the rep system doesnt work - you and a few friends can move you up and others down. Total BS.
