Another reputation-feeling: I've been away from the Downs for over a week and have found a lot of good new posts and I've wanted to positive-rep TGWBS three times. That's quite a lot.

Gothmog · 01-01-2006, 05:05 PM

I'm not going to discuss this for long, because we've all been through this before but I, as Farael, got an unsigned, uncommented neg rep recently and would like the one who wrote it to step forward and tell me why. It was a post in Middle Earth "afterlife", my first in that thread. Maybe not the best of posts I agree, but worthy of a neg rep? Apparently.

I don't keep to close watch over my points, so I don't know how much it was and it doesn't matter, but I'd like to know what it is I'm supposed to improve to satisfy the "repper" (Is that a rep-artist?). I don't think the person will pm me, but I would be VERY pleased if YOU could do it

The rep-system with both positive and negative reps is excellent to give feedback and both tell someone what's good and also teach people what's not considered a good post here on the downs. But if it's going to work, the comments are essential. Especially when it comes to negative reps...

Well, a week off actually does some harm to ones brain. The whole week while I was out of my Barrow and wandering in the "Real World", I found myself thinking "What has become of my rep points this entire time? Have they gone down?". All I have to say is thank Eru for telling me (subconciously) to come back on and when I came back, I found my rep points totally intact and exactly how I left them. I can tell you, that [ut my mind at ease.

Thank you everyone for the much needed rep points!!

Ah, no, he thinks 'Off Topic'. What he actually says is just in the next frame. You must have been psychically attuned to his mind by accident - an easy mistake to make

In other news, I made a splendid mistake yesterday: 'negatively' repped someone, with a comment, signed and all...and then didn't actually click the negative button, hence bestowing them with a positive rep. Oh, foils. The Downer in question knows who he is - sent me a somewhat amused PM shortly afterwards.

Foils. I don't in general give out negative reps, but thats the second time I've done it. Apparently I'm not very good at being nasty

I wouldn't necessarily say that's a bad thing...

Wow, what a great thought!

I imagine that most (at least those who don't have personal titles yet) would put a serious one under their name and then have a more comical one over their reputation boxes. What fun!

But it would mean another "whose got the best___" threads!

AbercrombieOfRohan · 01-02-2006, 02:01 PM

Should we be allowed to change them? You can't change your PT, but the reps would continually grow, so it would most likely warrant a change.

And thanks to Mithalwen for sending a) me a very funny rep and b) to high Taniquetil! (Though she is not alone in this one, thanks you guys!)

Glirdan · 01-02-2006, 09:21 PM

OOOOOO!!!! Picking your own rep title!?!? How THRILLING!!!! (Oh god, what have I turned into!?) I picture something like...

Gil-Galad is the Master of Puns

The list goes on!!! On I tell you!!!! (I really do have to get out more...)

Gil-Galad · 01-02-2006, 11:31 PM

funny, i started the whole Perky-Oxymoron thing...

and i think that it would be fun if the mods got together and chose a name that best suits whom they are giving a personal title too... see what thoughts the mods have in their heads

I'm merely parodying.
