Everyday I am convinced that more idiots are here....let me explain.... I was interested in a website in the buy/sell section...the owner of the site posted some stats, but not all....since I have been scammed in the past, I asked him for some more complete stats....he graciously replied (with which I thanked him)....however, some idiot gave me a red rep for asking for the stats? WTF? I wish there was a way to sort the idiots out of DP....below is a link to the thread...my first post was the one I got a red rep for and the message "hater"...what childish behavior... http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?p=2581108#post2581108
He he he//this happened quite a few times with me too I offered some one a cheap price to someone for a particular service and I got a red rep for offering a cheap price...
the main problem here is everything is hidden, people some times gives a negative rep, without purpose. but then it is the part of the system, and no one actually could do anything. i have got + and - on the same thread, so you can't say it is right or wrong, it's just they rep givers thought
I actually agree with you on this one buddy. Me and my partner bonzer have just launched a SEO contest with $1,000 in prize money and some knob jockey gave me a red rep with the words "gee thanks." Try not to worry about it too much.
sorry to hear about it d16man I am not sure if mods can interfere in these kinda situation. I saw people explicitly asking for green reps for some trade or for digging or posting in a forum. itrade is one thing at which we can give more attention for reputation than green reps. wish you luck mate
d16man sir it very sad that it happened with you , but just read that thread link given by d16man , after his complaint stills guy's were bidding and didn't ask d16man what happened .
Well, I think giving a red in that kind of situation is really right. But IMO, you should also not start a thread about it. --Joe
LOL just get over it. Lots of the topic like this and red reps comes easy anyway. nothing can do with that.
The key to the rep system is the same as the key to the invisible hand in economics -- it works in the long term. In the long term - if you're not a moron - your green rep will grow. I see that you have three green bars; you're well on your way!
some idoit gave me a bad rep in my thread in the services area. It said "loser" I just don't understand, Is it jealously?
Perhaps there should be some arbitration system where such red reps can be challenged, like Ebay. Dunno. IMHO. Kenneth
