POST 300 - Anonymous Abuse of the Reputation System - Goodbye for Now

Good grief, this sounds like a bad reality TV show. Who's getting voted off the island now?

 

Want to produce the Digital Point version of the show Bernard We have it all right here, no need to find real people

 

I do think, as VS said, that people take all this way too seriously.

People don't complain when they get positive feedback, do they? Sometimes, it's helpful to get feedback from other members -- sometimes, it's anonymous; sometimes it isn't. Doesn't really matter to me.

One way to handle it would be to unlink the reputation system from the current consequences (e.g., not being able to post live links). That way if someone wants to anonymously say "you suck" and get 20 friends to do the same thing, it's a kind of feedback without the potential abuse of power.

 

Agreed - I dont even have it enabled on my forum

 

VS, when I first got here I admit it was sort of a shock to the new forum and it's membership, I did that to most forums in those days.

But this PMing and gang up rep destruction did happen here to me, the members did PM gang up on me at SEO chat before I got here.

In addition the poster in this thread said it went on at his forums, how much more proof do you need?

Bottom line is that we have these rep. threads here at Digital Point every 3 months or so, I am use to them, it is about time you got use to them also, they make for a lively thread subject, so post away like there is no tomorrow VS

PS: my votes against you do not count anyway VS

 

Like I said VS, I think it is funny, I did not start the thread, so just enjoy it every three months or so as the subject always seems to come back to DP and I will keep posting the same old crap as responses every time and so will you

 

I just think its silly to worry about

 

VS, if you only knew how many laughs I got out of your last post it would make the thread worthwhile for you

The more beer I drink, the funnier it gets, I just read it over and over, the part about poor old little Anthony is so true Don't forget defenseless next time please

 

Hi my name's Anthony and im an alchoholic internet addict

 

Did you see the introduction thread by that title I started on another forum AngelX

What country are you in sweet?

 

There is a bit of irony in the fact that "! !" hasn't reposted in this thread given your comment above Anthony

 

LOL MAYBE HE SUFFERS FROM VERY BAD MEMORY LOSS, AND WHEN HE GETS MAD ABOUT SOMETHING HE BLOCKS IT OUT....................... SO ONCE HE POSTED THIS HE 4GOT ABOUT IT!!!!
(no need 2 thank me 4 sorting this out)

 

Why he got mad in the first place I don't know?

Cherry better watch those caps, you know it makes Minstrel mad, you are just making your come back, don't go backward

You notice it was Goodbye for now, whatever his name is will be back

 

u know why he got mad anthony................... and what this about not using caps???
but just for him i will use lower case

 

! ! has left a lot of boards lately complaining to no end on his way out. He stormed off SEO Chat complaining that he wasn't getting the respect he deserved because a thread was locked (it was only because it went way off topic and was getting really personal). He has also been banned from a number of forums so it isn't strange to see the same childish behaviour here.

The thing is, those who left comments weren't WAY off. Its not like they wrote "Whazzzz Up" or crap like that. They gave criticism whether he believes its valid or not. I just don't think its a big deal.

 

Caps is typically reserved for shouting and is hard to read. Some people get annoyed if it is used liberally.

 

really, i dont think its hard 2 read but oh well if it keeps the peace he he
but the system is being abused............ ive gotton one or 2 nasty ones and its not nice.......
