Pming somebody over a red rep?

[McDuck]

Well i just got a PM regarding a red rep i gave a few months back informing me that i am a number of nasty things because somebody did not like what i said the few months back when i gave the rep.

So what do you guys think? Would you PM? Red rep back? Or just ignore it or be an absolute dickwad about it?

[Steam]

Well, the only fair way to judge this is to post here both your Red Rep comments and the PM response.
Let us decide.:jerry:
Or... are you a little ashamed of the red rep comment you gave? Come on, tell all.

[McDuck]

Not alowed to post PMs without other persons comments and i can not remeber what the rep comment was. Somthign like it is not as easy when it applys to you.

[DMNTD]

I'd piss myself laughing at the thought that someone would think I give a rat's arse regarding rep.

[McDuck]

This is a very fair point....

[McDuck]

I had actualy forgotten aboutt hat red rep :)

[Mental Trousers]

Not alowed to post PMs without other persons comments .....

Good lad.

I give a rats arse that everyone is trying to reduce my pretty row of red by giving me greenies. It's bloody annoying.

If the pm is abusive then contact a senior mod (kickaha or Cajun). Otherwise, put the clown on ignore and carry on with your life knowing that you won't have to see the dribble from that person again.

Best course of action?

Bust a move !

[McDuck]

Well the chances are i am bigger than them....

[onearmedbandit]

Ignore function. Works well.

[McDuck]

I am not overly concerned, but i was woundering what the site norm was :)

[sunhuntin]

mcduck... as far as height goes, you are bigger than EVERYONE... including col!

just delete the pm, or report if it is abusive and carry on with life as you know. [btw... having tried the ignore thing in the past, dont bother. it got annoying having to click all their posts to see if they were saying stuff about me. in the end i just took em off, and the animosity i felt is almost totally gone.

[McDuck]

Yea i have tryed the ignore function before but ti not my style to ignore sombody, i prefer to fully have a go at people :devil2:

[Mom]

Why on earth would you want to see what they were posting about you if they were on your ignore list? Clicking to check their posts totally defeats the purpose dont you think?

Exacly.....

[Mom]

The ignore function is great. If you are taking a bit of flack from someone, put them on your ignore list, hey presto - end of problem, because you simply dont see what they are saying, you get no PM's and no reputation either. Bloody brilliant I say!

[RC1]

as others said use ignore, dont stress out about it :niceone:

[Usarka]

was your rep comment abusive, if so bahaha that'll learn ya.

otherwise wind them up for a laugh.

And then someone quotes them.....

[Mom]

And then someone quotes them.....

LOL.....

That is a small price to pay, for the ceasation of snarly, obnoxious rep comments, and drunken 3 am rambling PM's from people that have too much time on their hands my dear....LOL

[EJK]

Get over it, it's a month ago! lol

[The Stranger]

Ok, ok I said sorry, let it go will ya.

[nodrog]

i would post in the depression thread, then cut myself.

[JimO]

was it patch BAAHAHAHAH:baby:

[Mom]

Ok, ok I said sorry, let it go will ya.

Thought I heard something then, must have been an echo.....:whistle:

[McJim]

I always thought Red rep was like a declaration of war....y'know, like the single most offensive thing you can do to someone online...so it's not serious then? People do it lightly....it's not an accepted reason to take out a contract on someone? Oh dear...that's going to cost me a few bob to cancel the contracts and pay all those gunmen to go back to Glasgow... As you were. :rofl:

[hospitalfood]

had a pm from somebody who does not give rep, good or bad. thought it was a good approach.
gave red once coz a smart arse was dissing another mans women, but i plan to start a red campaign and go nuts with it, just hand it out to all because Im a nasty piece of work, so you may want to keep the gunmen here McJim

[Taz]

Just don't give rep! What's the point. Scrap the rep system altogether.

[What?]

I have used the rep system, but could not care less if it was scrapped.
But then again, I once responded to a red repping and began an intelligent (for me) conversation with the bloke who red repped me. The result is that when the opportunity arises, I will try to hook up with this guy for a beer. I reckon it will very likely be one more top person I have met through this site.

[Joni]

I look it from 2 angles… myself as a member of KB and myself as the SF of KB.

On a personal level, I feel that opinions are good, and if you don’t agree with someone then express it through the reputation system if you have the need to…. I don’t really care to be honest. If someone red reps me, life does not end in the least… people being abusive via the rep system, is just a confirmation that they take themselves way too seriously… in fact its fucken funny when someone does an emotional red dump in my CP… do they really think it will keep me awake at night? Stupid really….

From an SF points of view… abuse it not allowed, and it someone is abusing you via the rep system, via the pm system and of course via the forums itself, you should be pm’ing a Moderator of the site and letting them know…

I have a problem with the reputation system, because you have people who use it to abuse, and get stuck in childish, petty “rep wars” – if someone gives you a red rep… so what, who cares…. But if it affects you so much, have a think as to why you got it… if for no reason, then move on… if you were being a arse, then maybe you deserved it.

All this drama about reputation has always made me think the rep system should be removed all together – it brings out the arsehole in some people.

[ManDownUnder]

I'd piss myself laughing at the thought that someone would think I give a rat's arse regarding rep.


Combine that with the fact it was aged a number of months... I'd be asking myself - are they drunk? Too sensitive? Slow?

na mate... I personally think it's funny.

[ManDownUnder]

All this drama about reputation has always made me think the rep system should be removed all together – it brings out the arsehole in some people.

LOLOL... so Red reps are the heamarroids of KB then?

That's pretty cool!

I've always thought its a pretty negative tool that can and does get abused
more often than not. Theres a certain (self delusional) superior attitude attached to a serial red repper I reakon.

If someone decides they just don't like you, you get repped for no good reason - "cos they can"

The green rep system however, creates a real positive community feeling.

[snot]

nobody red reps me,
I'm liked by all.

[Drunken Monkey]

It seems to me that only no-self-esteemed, limp-dicked homos PM you when you red-rep them. They all know who they are. They all make my ignore list, so I can't see what kind of BS they're whingeing about now and that's all good, AFAIC.
Sounds like it's time to stir up the hornet's nest again and dish out a few random reds...

[Virago]

nobody red reps me,

That's 'cos green snot is healthy, and red snot is not...

Yes, agree completely with this statement. :yes:

Mcduck5n, honestly I would not worry about it. Some things are best left without an acknowledgement, especially if it was such a long time ago.
And heck, are you really bigger than Colapop? :gob:

[Colapop]

Yep he really is. And so is Big Dog. But I've lifted/hugged both of them! :headbang:

And I mean really, IS there anyone like me?? Really??

MAc - just delete and move on. The rep notes actually say "I agree" or "I disagree" - Fark is no-one allowed to disagree with anyone? I encourage people to disagree with me - at least then we can have a decent debate.

[Usarka]

I encourage people to disagree with me - at least then we can have a decent debate.

No you dont.

[Colapop]

Prove it! I can vouch for my position. My evidence may be circumstantial but my rhetoric is true.

[NighthawkNZ]

So what do you guys think? Would you PM? Red rep back? Or just ignore it or be an absolute dickwad about it?

Would I get a pay raise if I did a PM, or would the world end if I didn't or Will it stop me from riding my bike? Heck I jump for joy when I get the odd red rep I get... Mission accomplished.

At the end of the day its a forum... and its red rep, and green rep are nothing and means nothing does nothing... blah blah blah... Zero, ZIP, Nada.

[Morcs]

I always fire red rep straight back... I heard its called Karma...

[Joni]

I always fire red rep straight back... I heard its called Karma...Hmm, in my mind not the way to do it....

Rep is to show you agree or dont agree with someone.... getting invovled in a tit for tat rep war makes the whole function pointless.

[Morcs]

Hmm, in my mind not the way to do it....

Rep is to show you agree or dont agree with someone.... getting invovled in a tit for tat rep war makes the whole function pointless.

But im disagreeing with them disagreeing with me. :laugh:

[Joni]

But im disagreeing with them disagreeing with me. :laugh:What ever floats your boat....

Makes me realise more and more, people dont get what the function is for.

It should be removed all together....

IMHO of course. <_<

[007XX]

Yep he really is. And so is Big Dog. But I've lifted/hugged both of them! :headbang:

Well....you and I can be eerily similar my friend...:love: :hug: And Bigdog is such an awesome hug man too, except he leaves me on the ground each time! :laugh:

Yep, exactly...Although, when you get given a red just cos the other person feels like it, as in "there is no reason behind it", that sort of attitude gets a little frustrating...:rolleyes:

[Mental Trousers]

LOLOL... so Red reps are the heamarroids of KB then?
How rude

[ManDownUnder]

How rude

Sorry - but I come with good news (http://www.shopinprivate.com/prepcreaminl.html)!

[Colapop]

I'll take that to mean I sweep you off your feet... :innocent:

[Usarka]

is anyone else experiencing the wet paint syndrome and having to resist red-repping everyone in this thread who said they dont care....?? :lol: :buggerd: :girlfight:

[The Stranger]

Aye? - red rep is a compliment Morcs.
It means you got under their skin, you won.
Why would you turn around and hand the victory back to them?

[Finn]

I'm never sure if my red rep button works so I've got into a habit of testing it on Idle once a week. Every time, he has a tantrum so I know it's working. Still, you gotta be sure.

Mebbe I should test mine on Idle too! :shifty:

You can please SOME of the "people" SOME of the time...but not ALL the people ALL the time. Say what you mean and MEAN what you say (POST) Any offence taken is THEIR problem. Sleep soundly.

If you red rep me, I should be allowed to PM and abuse the shit out of you, regardless of wether or not I'm a "limp dicked homo"

[Mikkel]

I always appreciate red rep if the comment is constructive. However, comments like "wrong" when expressing your personal opinion or comments that have NO relevance for the post involved are simply ridiculous and I look forward to becoming a seníor member with the priviledge of knowing who're behind such "gems".
Personally I'll only red rep if people are posting things that I both disagree with and that I fear might actually have a negative impact upon peoples real life behaviour. Or if people are feverishly spreading lies or misleading propaganda.
I'll green rep more or less anything that I appreciate and I tend to green rep people who corrects mistakes that I make.

As for the ignore list - I can't see why I would use it. I'm quickly learning who's comments I should disregard and who's comments are worth another glance. All forms of abuse, whether directed at myself or anyone else, are a quick way to being put onto my mental ignorelist...

[KATWYN]

...


I've had the "wrong, wrong, wrong" in the red rep comments area as well (it won't surprise me if its the same person).

Like, repetition for emphasis lol, and all I was doing was expressing my opinion ( sticking up for the masses that were getting shot down actually) but because this person started the thread in the first place I believe they claimed that their final say on the subject was how the world actually is.
I think thats called narrow mindedness.

I see someone has got a sense of humour... Red repped for that post with "WRONG!" :lol:

:rolleyes:

Will have to wait approximately 3 months to know who's the funny guy though.

[Blue Velvet]

I've never used red rep, would only use it in jest if I did. Seems the people who use it need to lighten up and remember that others are allowed to think differently, aren't they?

Plus I agree with
