AFnord: It has got really ugly as of late though, with some people constantly downrepping some other people, and just recently a person who had some trouble starting three games that (s)he had bought got downrepped for asking for help. The person did not look like a very computer-savvy person, and I guess to some the question might have been phrased in a "stupid" way, but if you don't know how to use a computer well, then it is hard to phrase a computer-related question in a good way. It has turned into a trolling tool.

SirEyeball: +1 my thoughts exactly its another tool for the trolls
BTW I actually got derepped for cursing out the people who did that. My post has since been reserected from the "low rating" dungeon but the fact that I got nailed at all simply for telling people not to be so mean is totally fucked up.

And I just noticed Stuffs post accusing me of being hacker is 'high rated'. That is a pretty nasty thing to accuse anyone of, even an asshole such as myself, add to that the fact that he is doing it with ZERO proof and he gets uprepped for it. Sometimes this place scares the piss out of me.

FYI here is my post that was low rated up until this morning. Sorry about the quick double but it wouldn't let me paste onto an edit.

tinyE: The massive downrep I jut got doesn't bother me but I thought my 'hacking' post deserved (at the very least) a bigger laugh. I don't care if my posts get derepped, just so long as the person doing the deprepping gets a chuckle out of them first. :D

Is that asking too much!?
I'm bored so let's make a deal . :p

You will buy me a $9.99 GOG game if any of your upcoming posts contain any of these :

" my posts get derepped "
" downrep "
" my post(s) "
" troll "

It would probably be easier just to keep one of the games you're always giving away

DEAL! :D
BUT it has to be a post from this point on. Don't be messaging me with shit I posted three hours or three weeks ago telling me that I owe you a game.

And I don't welch. Let all those in here bare witness to our agreement. Oh, and I get to choose the game. AND quoting someone who uses one of those doesn't count against me. And I can only lose if I use those terms EXACTLY as you have written them.

And one more thing, the game doesn't have to be 9.99 and can in fact be a free title.

No more negative reps from the forum members ?

HAHAHAHAHA! Now that is funny.

Seriously. At the end of six months, if I have lived up to my end of the deal, you have to come in here and post that I'm the best you've ever had.

Stuff: ...Your one goal seems to be to remove the only means the community has to moderate the forum. ...
One could argue that it's not the only means. Even without the rep system everyone judges others by what they write. And such things like credibility, good will, ... depend on what one writes and will influence future responses or if there will be a response at all. You can always troll but you can also always make fun of the trolls too. So the rep system isn't so vital. I don't like this beauty contest that arises from the rep number which is not really a meaningful number.

The ability to set other users on ignore (or also maybe on emphasize) would probably be much more useful.

This gave me a good laugh. Did anyone when they were a kid have one of their parents play the "quiet game" where you were challenged to stay quiet/still/etc. for a certain period of time in order to "win"? I remember played that game *many* times as a small child (I probably only had a success percentage of around 50%). Of course, "winning" was usually its own reward and losing never meant buying something for my parents, but still, it makes me think of that. Good times, good times...

I never agreed to that.
Allow me to elaborate. You never notified me of that change. You went in and altered a post without informing me you were doing it. That makes the entire bet bogus.

That post wasn't even about you. It was just reminiscing about childhood. I'd think you'd understand the concept of an off topic reply.
