1st Red Rep

[mdnzz]

Ok so I find a pic on the net I like and think I'll add that as an avatar.

Seems somebody else has the same avatar so another person redreps me for stealing it off them.

So whats the deal pics found on the net can only be used by one person?

How would you know who has what avatar unless you search every members profiles?

And I have seen many a handle on here with the smae pics up as avatars, did you guys get repped as well?

O an if your the person that red repped me can you at least give me the correct handle of the person I have supposedly plagurised so that I can look at their avatar

I just gave you ur 2nd red rep, hope you enjoy it as much as ur 1st one.

and remember, no one gives a shit.

ie; mine. I'd be VERY surprised if mine (recently changed) is unique.
RM's is defininately unique .... cough.
I do kinda find them useful when helping me to remember peoples nicknames/login names etc tho.

You get a red rep and you put up a post about it? WTF!

Why, I've half a mind to ... never mind. Peace bro.

You don't seem to have plagurised with so many members its so hard to know who has what avatar .. and who really cares. Once you have enough posts you will be able to see who gives you rep.

Meh, I noticed the other day that someone had grabbed an old one that i used to use.

No big deal. It's a bit confusing when people have the same avatar at the same time, cos I tend to skim the name and look at the pic.

Who really cares, at the end of the day. You're in for a very rough ride here if that sort of thing bothers you.

General Netiquette. Obviously unintentional and the other person was letting you know you had it.

Change pic, move on.

[Number One]

Change pic, move on.

OR NOT...as many have said give a shit...btw red rep is funny You'll get over it in time

As for the red repper bit sad really they were prob just looking for a reason to try it..but again you will get over it in time

I've seen that avatar before, but can't for the life of me think whose it is. They could have signed it at least, but it's ok - a red rep won't stop you from visiting other countries

Lots of people have the same avatar as someone else.

If the picture was found on the 'net, no problem - you haven't "stolen" it. Using the same picture is not against the site rules, regardless of what others may claim.

we got in trouble for using someones avatar before tho.

some KB members seem to keep the same avatar and never change it.

Others, change it every day. There are also people that change it every few weeks or so just for their own amusement.

Some people have a big attachment to their avatars. Much like a hand or foot. Others still find amusement in plague like avatars that mutate and spread throughout many members. The hitcher tron.... ...spaaartaa... the list goes on.

Stealing a well known avatar is 'bad form' and generally would get a red rep... some people have been known to actually cry about their avatar being stolen, and once or twice a member got really upset and made a entire thread about it...

you're right - the wrong pic in your avatar can be dangerous - you bastard!

[Usarka]

There is always one isn't there.....

Nettiquette schmettiquette.

Post more, gain more rep and then you can see who red repped you and kick the shit out of them in meatspace.

I presume that's what a red rep means "I want a fight, come and kick the shit out of me - bring your mates too just in case I'm a big mofo"

Easy.
