It really would need to be a big conspiracy for it to have any real effect. You would need 11 unique members with 50 or more posts each giving you bad reputation (with no one giving you any good reputation) in order to roll over to "red".
Someone gave me a negative vote for not answering a question and just saying that I had PM'd an answer! I thought that was a bit harsh considering the number of posts that I had put up in attempting to answer queries etc, but....it did make me come back and fill in the details earlier than perhaps I might have...so ..... what the hell
I just had a thought...rare but true hehehe What if the reputation system was factored with the number of posts and that was/became a factor in the weighting on a nominated site/sites in the coop ad network?
That would create a bunch of ass lickers here And also fake accounts voting for the coop account holder. A flooding of useless posts to get to the 50 mark and then a flooding of votes to get the weighting up. No Foxy, stick to not-thinking
I don't blame you... It's not even 11 o'clock yet. Wouldn't expect anyone's brain to work at genius-capacity before noon.
Make sure it's Red Wine and not only will you solve the Reputation System 'problem' (if there is one), you'll also be saved from lung cancer...
Just admit it Shawn, it has happened before, can you recall the first DP conspiracy and who got the first "RED MARK" in the history of DP?
OK - green wine then? Not as healthy as red which is all I drink...err sort of. Anyhows I try and give the big A + votes but apparently I don't spread them around enough so I can't at the moment - any other takers to move the bigA upwards?
Same here... Anthony, if you don't mind me asking... How low is your reputation? What's your score at?
Hey that is real funny...err..sort of Hey BigA there are three of us here asking ...how many others are there~? Come on guys and gals ....its outing time....sort of...hehe Stand Up and be counted
I was -73 and moving downward to -100, I wanted to get there, but some crazies voted me back up to -52 or something
Hey BigA......-73..... That's fantastic - what a great achievement ...I think you should get an inverse credit when you get to -50 That would put you at +23
If I see increased clicks on my DP channels there tends to be an increase in positive votes handed out by a certain person called myself... Obviously not encouraging clicks; just describing strange causal connections.
I am going to slip a Mickey in one of Shawn's drinks, you know the good stuff we used to do in the 70's, the Beatles used to sing about it. He will then take me out of the reputation system all together and make me a Super Moderator so I can consult back and forth with VS on forum decisions
blah blah who cares! I've come to learn not to take part in a popularity contest. If the rep count bothers 1) get alife and 2) go to another forum which doesnt have a rep count.
