    I think if you get negative rep you have to write out 200 lines and sit on the naughty stair for an hour

    I agree with this, it does absolutely nothing except make a few happy and potentially annoy the majority. Some does it for fun or just to get someone back, I really can't see the point of having it specially if it allows you to neg anonymously.

    Many forums have a rep system and I don't think our forum is going to change. I am sure you were happy to receive your reps, even just for joining the forum . But make a post that is factually incorrect or flame/annoy people then you can expect a negative result. The sun doesn't shine all the time you know.

    Nothing will change with this rep system. Only a few gets annoyed with the neg rep and yet they all want to get good reps, and some even begging for it to have.

    I know you can only make of me of what I write on here so I guess my portrayal is of my own making but, I can assure you I haven't got a nasty bone in my body . I'm sorry Terpe went off the cliff . Had I had known he was of the sensitive variety I wouldn't of done such a thing

    I can't turn the clock back I've made a public apology which was accepted by some except Terpe
    As for revenge. ...who's taking it now
    It's no skin off my nose . It just shows a few people for what they really are about.

    This is not the case. Moderators can see who's being repped even you fail to put your name to it. This fact wasn't known by the majority until the cover was blown 2 weeks back.

    I don't know why you all are getting so hyped up with the rep system.. It's been there even before a lot of you joined the forum! It was only noticed in my view when someone started getting stars and someone probably thought it will make whatever status you have here in the forum put on a higher level! That is not the case! And then it was recently abused!

    I remember when LM first came on here. ..I think he had 3 negative reps to start with I don't recollect him making a song and dance over it. In fact a few years later he's now a valued member. so there's hope for me yet

    Not recently Rayna. ..This has been going on amongst 3 or 4 members for the last 4 or 5 years. Before that it wasn't evident. From what I can remember the reps were not an issue. The forum had a spate of new members in 2009 that's when the rep giving, ar$e touching for nothing started. Yes, I didn't help my cause one iota of which I admit but, I was only doing what a few had been doing for years

    Unfortunately it's inevitable as the forum get bigger. I used to hang out in a forum where a gang of 10+ would boost each others reps and negs people they don't like... juvenile stuff really

    If you are not part of the "repclub" your rep status stays red

    Keep up the good work mate

    Still no option for me to give out reps. All I see is the "triangle warning sign" and no rep + or - buttons.

    The reps were not an issue in the past because members then didn't care & they didn't think of any importance of the reps. It only got started to be abused lately when Terpe got his first star, and then a few members started getting theirs. Some members probably think getting stars would in turn give them high regard in the forum, which isn't the case.

    I will close this thread now Because this is getting boring! If you want to do something with this rep system and change it, you better start giving donations so we can do the extra work you want.

    The Rep system has been in place for over 10 years. I do not change the forum software setup just because a very small minority can't handle something, that to the vast majority is just something not to pay much attention to. Some people like to bitch about as many things as they can, whenever they can, these people I ignore, as they need to accept that not everyone agrees with their view of the world.

    Only the odd person abuses the Rep system, at the moment that is Gwapito, who gives Rep to someone with one post, containing the word "Hello". It is supposed to be only used for very good, or very bad posts, not for childish tit for tat.

    I've had neg rep in the past, and that's life, it has no bearing on my overall long term rating. When you follow a football team, they can have negative results in a season, but still finish on top (ManU excluded this season ).
