What does it mean when people have red blocks as their rep? Does this mean they are bad or trouble makers?
Bad reputation. You can ad reputation to a person by clicking on rate scale . So if you don't like anyone's post you can give him a red rep. Or a green rep when you like his post.

Rep means nothing, for example I have had the same idiot anon red rep me every 3 days for ages because he thinks it matters, if only I didnt know who it was huh
I know that is a joke but it actually couldn't be farther from the truth. If you look at the rankings, Minstrel is number 1 by a lot. He also happens to be VERY outspoken about DMOZ. He tends to make his point with proof and in an intelligent way...That makes a difference
I just think that those speaking up about DMOZ are doing a good thing and there have been some pretty good threads because of it. The recent "You will be censored with red if you dare speak" line of posting is discouraging people. Maybe it was gWorlds thread calling for mass rep in DMOZ threads. Anyway, I just wanted to point out you get just as many greens if not more
I can understand Gworlds frustration, but he may be a little over the top with the rep war suggestion. Anyways, take a look at this pic here to see some of the childish behavior of some of these editors (no, I can't prove they were editors) http://www.portprophecy.com/pics/badrep.gif All I ask for is a name to go with the rep. Is that too much to ask. Pretty please leave name. Thanks in advance.
Im sure most people on here can bitch about rep, my post about rep gave me endless amounts of people bad rep me calling me names...its sad people spend time calling people names because of suggestions about rep.
Point made, i just talked about rep...and thisa is for the nob that bad repped me this time i wasnt whining you obviously didn't read my post...but now i am go ahead bad rep me agen nob;
