Who is/was mad at me?

[Shadow_Ferret]

I wasn't even paying attention to the rating system, but now I went and looked and I see there are a few "comments" about some of the posts I made.

The one that says "suck my b@lls!" (censoring is my own) I thought was really creative, witty and original.

Wasn't me!

Cool, I just got a red chiclet for calling you a gentleman, Jaxvon. I finally joined the club! Have you been a baaaaaad boy and I haven't heard about it?

(Or mebbe it was the Notre Dame&Klipsch / Ice Pick thing. )

 

[jaxvon]

Ha, I just checked and some unknown person gave me a negative rep for the starting post in this thread. Hillarious. But I've gotten other rep points from you other generous individuals, so thanks all.

And for whoever is giving me negative rep points....

Be a man. Say it to my face. Hell, if you want to call me on the phone and yell at me, PM me and I'll give you my number.

 

[majorloser]

Greenies for everybody!

(except you Jax I got the message below. I owe you )

Must be getting close to Xmas because i got the colors,green and red. LOL

 

[annunaki]

The system does not impress me. I could care less what colors I get. I do not make BS posts, and that is good enough for me.

Is the chiclet system a permanent part of this forum format...kinda like an ugly birthmark? Mebbe you could wave some kind of mod-wand and say "Be Gone Oh Blight To The Benign".

It isn't the chiclets I care about. I just noticed that someone was trying to tell me something via the chiclet system. All I'm saying is that someone should let me know if I gave bad info or if I offended someone.

If they were trying to say anything to you, they did a poor job of communicating, didn't they? As pretty much everyone else is saying, don't worry about it. You shouldn't concern yourself with the opinions of idiots, and you have no way of knowing whether or not an idiot rated you. Frankly, I expect that one of the people who I admire the most has rather a lot of red "Chiclets", as he or she annoys a lot of foolish people. I'll presently refrain from saying whom I mean, as there is no need to offend people in this thread.

Hmmm... I'm tempted to lie and claim it was me, to get your number to yell at you, as this reminds me of a Monty Python skit about someone going to an office for an argument and walking into the room for abuse...

 

[jaxvon]

That's a classic skit. I have a CD with that track and it makes me laugh SO hard every time I hear it. Comedic gold I must say.

Bet you guys can't catch me. I've got a rudolph now at the top right.

Ok, this chicklet system has gone far enough.


I can understand giving people like privateer reddy's, but Buck? And over Manf. prices vs. street prices?!?!?! What is this forum coming to? People are to easily offended, and they act out of emotion and rage(smashing the mouse and keyboard). If you think this is offensive, watch an episode of southpark (its actually funny ).

The personal feelings need to stay out of the forum inorder for this system to work. So far they havent, and I think its time for it to hit the road. Its giving experienced and knowledgable(typo?) members a bad rap.

Here's how rep systems work in general:

Green rep: + to your rep total
red rep: - to rep total
grey rep: no rep given or taken, since this rep was given to you by a poster with a negative (red) rep level....red levllers cannot give rep of any form

Now, as to how hard a rep hit/gift is, depends on how the system is setup...some go by postcount, where for every x posts, your reps give y value. Others go by how much rep you currently have. IMO the second system is the better one, as it means others in the board, or at least a few in really high regard approve of your postings. The first system actually encourages postcount buffing, which is a waste of forum space.

Rep is not a bad thing, it just takes time to get used to it, and at first, every rep system is crap...it just takes time to mature and become useful as a quick gague to the quality of poster....if a guy has less than 20 posts and is already red, you can be sure that he's either a troll, or is very bad with words.

Just for that I gave you a "greenie"!

See that, they cut off thread. I bet Axiom was going to pull their sponsorship.

What? How about asking a question before you jump to conclusions. Oh, right - that takes time and patience. Better to just jump in with a misinformed opinion and treat us like crap in the process. Ater all, we deserve it right?

Did someone put something in the water?

Here's the thread - it was so far off topic we split it:

We are reaching our limits, and our desire is to keep this a friendly place to hang. But freedom of speech does not mean allowing a few select people to freely talk badly about us on our own forums. A very small number of people are voicing their so-called concerns and in the process providing ample amounts of misinformation, supposition and slander. We have better things to do with our time than constantly defending ourselves for providing in-depth reviews and tech articles for free to the public.

We are discussing it. We (moderators) do not have the final say anyway. I have not received wand status as of yet.

Chill, it's a joke dude. Plus this is the steam vent. Is this not the proper place?

"Talk about anything you'd like here. Or, if you've got a beef, or you just want to vent some audio steam... come on in. This is the only place you won't get in trouble for flame wars - all other places are off limits."

My wife is 8 months prego, and you seem to have more mood swings than she does.
