Neg Rep - Who would like it gone?

[Lycanthrope]

As Ive stated before, personally Id like to see it disabled. Just causes hard feelings and can be used by groups to gang up on an individual they dont like. Might be good on a less moderated site, but this one is relatively well moderated so I think it causes more harm than good.

I see people are using 'negs' to get under others skin in my epic TOBY thread.

Thats just my opinion, what say you?

 

[Obi-Wan]

why don't you add another option to your poll " Keep it but require a signature "

it drives certain people crazy

this is a very good thing - we need that tool for certain people

He's right. The bear must be poked

 

[guywhofishes]

yes - what will we do to the bear without the sharp pointy stick?

turds also need pokage

do not forget the turds among us

I prefer to poke with anonymous sticks for fear of getting turd on me

Keep it.

The thread on Anonymous Negative Rep is going to be epic if we ever have a miraculous unveiling. Kinda like what happened about a year (???) ago.

The flying fur will make a Brazilian waxing contest seem tame!

Keep it V can moderate how people are using it if it gets out of control. But without it this site will turn into fishing buddy moderator bashing in a hurry. I think the rep is one of the best things on this site

 

[lunkerslayer]

I think V needs another oops again wouldn't it be funny if the same convenient member was aware of the same mistake again. Wow that would be epic bear poking fun since i didn't get to see my fun negs reps

If only neg. rep could be given to people in real life instead of online only.

 

[eyexer]

didn't know we had a negative rep thing

 

[buckhunter24_7]

didn't know we had a negative rep thing

There is also a positive rep

 

[PrairieGhost]

I think it's good, but often one misjudges people. I think it would be good to be able to go in and delete a negative post that you may have given someone. I make mistakes and would like a way to correct them.

the little +- graphic under each post except your own. You mark it either approve or not approve and you can leave a comment.

 

[Kurtr]

Leave it. Adds some fun and mystery to the NDA experience

 

[Davy Crockett]

A thumbs down button would be an interesting conversation piece.

FYI: if you've ever dropped needless F bombs or have been crude as #### for no reason whatsoever, I probably lit you up pretty good

the petty back/forth bickering... twernt me

Certain people (perhaps sensitive folks living in urban areas) over think what "crazy" is, often it is confused with humor.

I really don;t have an issue outside of shaking my head over the whole unsigned bad rep. deal

It is like okay heres an asshole, I'm gonna make him be less of an asshole by making some snarky mean personal comment and not signing it that no one else can see or know I did.

Does anybody here actually think that works to make the asshole less of an asshole? :;:imwithstupid

So if that isn;t going ot make the asshole less of an asshole.........what does it actually do? Make someone that doesn;t have enough spine to sign their name feel better about themselves because they just did what they are leaving bad rep for the asshole for doing...being an anonymous asshole?

Like I said, I scratch my head over that whole mentality.

Clearly, it hasn't worked on gst.

Its a good member management tool. Curtails most turd/bonehead behavior.

It's no secret that I've been there and done that and apologize to anyone I snapped at. My wife reminds me every once in a while what I was like to live with when I was dealing with pain and then eventually pain meds and pain both. I was pissed off at the world and got "lit up" pretty easily. I normally have a long, slow burning fuse and things are getting back to normal.

I am still firm about one thing though, I don't like a monkey on my back.
