OldFatGuy: Yep.
Okay.

Johnmourby: So I take it that if I want to keep my rep up I should never mention it again?
avatar
OldFatGuy: But maybe that's just me. I tend to base one's reputation on what they do and say rather than an easily manipulated number under their name.
Can't say fairer that that. I try to make a good impression but I only succeed half the time at best X) It would help if I didn't get angry at people's opinions but for me that's like saying I'd have more hair if my hair wasn't falling out XD

tinyE: Then you lose your 3rd star every four or five hours. :D
This I why I love you. You speak my language =D

Johnmourby: Please don't take this as a dig at people with negative rep. I'm not trying to gossip monger or point fingers. But I have to wonder.
All I ever seem to do is start arguments. If any was going to have negative rep it should be me. I've never hosted a give away (I don't have extra money for games that aren't for me) and the best I do is engage in friendly chit-chat. And yet here I am with nearly 160 rep. What am I doing right? (Or others wrong).
You get one rep per post maybe?
EDIT:
Per day also.

Yeah, I've gone to the extreme of profanity laced tirades aimed directly at other members. I've had so many brain fart moments I can't count, and have just overall acted like a jerk and an ass more often than I can count, yet mine does nothing but go up. Meanwhile, others don't do anything wrong except give away some games in the ninja thread and their number takes a hit. And I too like tinyE a lot, and yet his does nothing but mostly go down nowadays. All he does is tries to make people smile sometimes, in this mostly shitty world he tries to bring a few laughs (and often succeeds IMO as he frequently makes me LOL), and for that his number takes a beating.

If those aren't all signs of a system that is terribly borked, I don't what is.
Did you ever stop to think that TinyE's rep keeps going up and down in insane ways...because he worships (or at least has an avatar of) a sanity eating man-squid god? Cthulhu does whatever Cthulhu wants to do.

The rep system here is weird, I once lost about ten rep points when I went a few days without posting. The less you worry about the rep here, the better off you are, in my opinion

Really? I always though it was a green Space Invader.

Maybe your right. But you cant blame I guy for wondering how he got something he might not deserve? Anyhow I'll try not to worry about it in future.
Because you live in the UK and we are a superior nation. Therefore all GOG'ers worship us which boosts our rep.

Please don't reply with an argument against the above statement as frankly, you're wrong...

spindown: Over 99% of people here have positive rep. You get rep just by posting. A low-rated post may cost you a couple of points, but it takes some real dedication to get into the negative numbers. Unless you are an obnoxious troll, beggar or scammer it's pretty much impossible to have negative rep.
Considering there are pages and pages of some threads where nearly every single post has been low rated (some of my own threads Ive had locked because of the abuse), I can tell you for a fact you are incorrect.
In fact, one of the least troll-like newcomers is hovering around -100 right now just because some people with trollish behaviour and a stick up their arse have decided that anybody new is to be subjegated to a derepidemic and ostracised from the community.
One group of which is no doubt older, higher rep members who hate giveaways and deem anyone they immediately don't like (which is everybody) a troll and derep them.
There are other people and factors at work of course - Wakalo (that scammer) and his friends / alt accounts are always here as well as some likely but lesser known individuals / groups.

I can Phyllisly tell you, this is a factoid of partial impartiality you utter.

Grargar: You don't talk about rep and you don't hang around those rep-draining places. (like the Ninja Giveaway thread for example)
Is the ninja thread really that bad? I see no hidden posts on the last few pages.
avatar
OldFatGuy: I'll have to loudly object to that please.

BULLSHIT.

Thank you. Carry on.

spindown: Do you have any counterexamples?
If I had just joined the forum, I'd definitely have negative rep. I lose about 3-5 rep per day now.. and that's even if I don't post.

I figure if the rep system isn't fixed, I'll have negative rep in about a year or half a year.

Probably because others might try to uprep the derepped people, so they might not seem low-repped, but rest assured that rep has indeed been lost. (Let's just say there are more downreppers than upreppers).

It's missing the word "New"

Searches for Meanwhile in the USA returned a bunch of lady-boy images - not sure what that's all about.

Well I'm a good 1500 miles from New England but this place is just down the road. Tell me Yoopers don't have a sense of humor! XD I've actually met people that have come all the way over from Europe just to go to this place.
