Actually that might be overstating things, looking back at my Nerg Archive.

Which is fairly easy as I've only dispensed 15 since I joined.

I nerged lynx once to call him an "argumentative twat" which was completely reasonable. I have withheld all other nergs even in the face of extreme provocation because I am a saintly patient type, and also because it's quicker to rep somebody than to nerg them because you don't need to switch to the other radio button.

Are you basically re-inventing StackExchange's +1, -1 system here?

Not really.

The undisputed best system for this stuff is slashdot.org

StackExchange is a simplified version of that, and what vBulletin has is more sophisticated than StackExchange but was then butchered by me to make it super-simple.

I actually think "Meh" is an important piece of feedback too... so I think that what should emerge is a +1, 0, -1 system.

But edscoble is right... the value is feedback. Now, making the feedback valuable is about reducing the bad noise in the system... not bad feedback, as that has value... but noise that stops people from hearing the signal.

I think actually using transparency would help here, as if these scores were visible... that on someone's profile you saw how generous they were to others, how communicative they were, and their standing from the perspective of others... then you start to build a good reason about why people would want to provide better signals to others... you encourage rewarding others positively without prohibiting the negative feedback where it's needed.

I have received exactly 1 Neg Rep, for incorrectly using 'per say'. I still have nightmares due to this :(

DJ negged me once for no reason. Now I'm tainted.

I think the best thing to do is change people attitude toward the reputation system, I liked getting feedback as it for example, allowed me to see what I've wrote that came out wrong and were able to correct it.

If I was reported, I wouldn't have known.

Was that me? It's stuck with you and no doubt you've got it right since so it's done the job.

Half negs given have been for trade threads (admittedly some of these have been for people going on a spree and dredging 3 year old threads having just joined), other half for people trolling things like rider down or deliberately being dickbags. In all I don't think I've given out more than 10.

I was very tempted to re-nerg you for not writing it per se.

Well, it's always good to be the best at something. I'm just sorry that my dear old mother didn't live to see this day.
I'd like to take this opportunity to apologise to the following:
Bothwell - negged for saying appaz instead of apparently
Hippy - negged for saying less instead of fewer
Wrongcog - negged for saying disinterested instead of uninterested and incorrect use of an apostrophe
Khornight - repeatedly negged for grammar
RPM - negged for saying the moon is a planet
GAG2 - negged for saying Daniel Craig is not attractive (he really took that to heart)
emab - negged for saying something could be 'very' unique
CYOA - negged for misuse of an apostrophe
Velocio - negged for talking like Tony Blair (the "do I think that is wrong? Yes I do" style of speaking)
Balki - negged for being a 'metro knob', whatever that is
General Lucifer and EEI and Paramounted- negged for wishing me happy birthday. Especially bad since Paramounted is my adopted son.

It's a pretty shameful list. I have negged Dancing James 12 times in the last couple of years though so it's not all bad.

Yep, I thought I'd let you remain anonymous.

Genuinely don't think I've used it, other than that one time, in the past 3 years (which might explain the epic usage fail!)

Infrequency is not an excuse for being incorrect.

I agree with most of those nergs and am tempted to seek out Hippy's "less" post and re-nerg it.

If anyone wants rep, go to the 1-star chat thread in the bike polo forum and post.

Can you tell which threads have resulted in the most rep dished?

Why does this link take me to the Epic Fail thread and then redirect me to this thread?: http://www.lfgss.com/thread620.html#post16851

REQUEST:

sorry for shouting above the chitter chatter of who is the bestest negger and who negs for less item's

Can this thread be split at this point?

This year it will be on 20/21 July.

Thanks.

Because I'm a fucking stupid idiot whom broke the link.

Fixed.

who is the bestest negger

Racis... Oh.

The top 5 nergers:

1. wiganwill
   
2. Tiswas
   
3. TS
   
4. dancing james
   
5. andy.w
   
   

#2 has actually had his profile deleted. But he's still on here with a new profile and if I merged the score of his old and new profile he'd actually be #1 with ~19k nerg points given out.

After the top 5 it drops off really fast... #5 gave out 113 neg reps, whereas #6 only gave out 35, and the number of neg reps quickly averages only 15 or so given for the rest of the top 100... the only difference is the effect of that score using the multipliers described earlier.

The whole rep system is broken, the only questions that linger are "What does fixed look like?", "Can it be fixed?", "Does the system bring any value to the community if it can't be fixed?".

There's a couple of massive negatives with it, and the touted positive reason isn't really working (to assist reputation within classifieds) because of how the distortion created by the top nergers.
Oh dear... and i just moved in with the ALMIGHTY TW2... crap...

Can i beg for forgiveness right now???

How did he get so much power?

DJ negged me once for no reason. Now I'm tainted.

Don't worry you are far from the only person to be tainted by DJ :)

I'd like to take this opportunity to apologise to the following:
Khornight - repeatedly negged for grammar

Neg'd

I agree with most of those bergs

Of course you agree, you are assuming that he's telling the truth... His description of mine being grammer related suggest they were all for my bad grammer, only the first of four was!

what if TW nerged WW??? Would the world implode?

I bet TW now regrets deleting his account.

I'm most suprised that andy.w is in the list... everyone else has been quite vocal about nerging, or the nerg victims have been vocal. I'd not realised andy.w was such a prolific nerger.

but is it prolific? Isnt it just weighted?!Or am i missing something?

When the top few hundred only average 15 nergs, and the top thousand only average 1 nerg, for the top 5 to all have exceeded 100 nergs (and be the only people that have done so) does show prolific nerging.

That the nergs are weighted, and score against the person receiving rep is what that chart shows... the sum of score subtracted as a result of the weighted nerging.
