I was clearly trolling, you knobs...

You don't understand the new rep system if you think that would work.

The answer to aroogah and corny is too long for a mobile response. The essence though is that the question is what is rep and why do we have it?

Good koan.

The intended use was different than the LFGSS implementation of the system that's for sure. Instead of rewarding useful responses, it ended up in the Rep Whore Wars.

Your post did not imply that the system was fundamentally changing beyond simple tweaking using natural log/inverse power curves for nerg power calculation, hence our questions/comments.

I'm happy to feedback on that if you have the time/brainspace/desire/user feedback mechanism.

That's cool... forum self-moderation is a good thing.

But when it's the same usual suspects against the same other people, and when they've received very specific and harsh warnings in the past... then it should be left to other people to do the correction.

As it stands, it just looks like TS continuing to haunt the same few people, with the same shit-stirring. And then it's TS asking to let other shit-stirrers back, which doesn't look too good when TS is busy winding up the same few individuals he's been warned not to.

I'm getting kinda tired of it. There is clearly a problem with too much sensitivity, but there's also clearly a problem with a few people feeling that they really don't have to be considerate or show respect to others on here... both sides of that are shitty, and just because there's too much sensitivity it doesn't mean that people should get away with constant bullying, shit-stirring against others. And just because a few people are crap like that, it doesn't mean we should be overly sensitive either... as then we'll end up with a "hug thread".

Basically, both extremes are dumb. And TS should know better. And when I start expressing that I'm getting tired of the silliness of it all, that's when people should know my tolerance for bullshit is pretty low.
hug you say?

Hugs Thread already exists

VB, will talk in person hopefully next week.

Aroogah as always says what I'm thinking but in better/longer words.

I have no issue with rep being adjusted/tweaked, just against punitive punishment for those who use neg rep wisely less aggressively than those who don't know where the line between joking/harassment and sensible discourse, disagreement lies..

I use neg rep like you corny. for people who deserve it and Ed.

They're an excellent trolling tool... I've lost count of the amount of times I've nerged horatio and Buffalo Bill...

Corny, DJ and CB nerged...

I'm with Corny.

Even though he is sounding like Yoda.

should I have used more commas?
Trying to cut down on my comma usage..

Nothing worse than a making the dreaded comma splice.

Sense, you are not making, Corny.

^right height for yoda

How about impact of nergs becomes inversely proportional to the number of nergs given in the last week (rolling)?

^^Refrains from Jabba the Hut comment.

Oops!

The answer to aroogah and corny is too long for a mobile response. The essence though is that the question is what is rep and why do we have it?

These days, it's mostly a measure of how many good memes and sickbrn put-downs you've made. Which makes it useless for the only part of the site which actually considers it - the Classifieds.

I always thought people who said nerged whimsically didn't really do it (apart from the old man).

Nerging = whining.

Fuck it, listen to you bunch. Ban me.

We've been here before Horatio. I remember us both asking to be banned sometime ago.

+1 Retards...

Can I just point out that my Friday random rep is not misuse. It's just a spread of pure love..

Wednesday random nerg starts here
