It is the difference between the door bell ringing and opening the door to find noone and opening hte door to find a bunch of flowers on the step

Is May Day then considered stalking?

Just checking so I don't have any doubts about my May 1st practices...

Sorry, I have no ideas what you mean .... the only Mayday practices I can think of involve either Eastern European tank parades, choirboys up towers, and prancing around a pole clutching a ribbon - and balls of course - all of which may be dubious in their own ways but nothing to do with rep... :S

You have to know! Does the practice of placing flowers on stoops, doorsteps, and thresholds, ringing the door bell or knocking then disappearing from sight ring a bell?

my mum once told me it was a 'dead celebration...'. Meaning that no one ever does it anymore. Tis' sad...

Hope this helps. Maybe we should have one at the Downs... It would be a great way of keeping up the kindness between older members, and welcoming new ones.

Not only did I just recieve my first negative rep for a Crazy Caption, but the author of said rep signed it with a "hehe" and a ": )" (this is not my emoticon, I boycott them). What's up with that? Oh, and they didn't leave a name either. I guess that maybe it was a mistake, but I still think that's kind of rude.

I receive quite a lot of unsigned neutral reps, which have dark icons next to them and don't add to my points or, as far as I can see, subtract from them...very odd...

Reputations that don't add (or subtract) any points from your standing are from very new members who have not yet posted enough to earn status as a giver of reputation points. They should still be able to include comments and their name, though. LIkely they are so new they don't realise we have a form of etiquette which suggests we prefer signed comments. Strange, though, that they have learned about the rep system without learning that.

So, to all you newbies who read this thread, please as a courtesy include a comment or two explaining why you have repped a particular post and include your nick as well. People here appreciate feedback!

[Mithalwen]

What I want to know, is do you have the same weight in neg rep as positive? There has been a post that I have been tempted to neg rep both times I read it but held back because it was a newbie and I thought it might be an excessive punishment for a first offence!!!!

It's possible that the person repping you (and no, it was not me) had their settings set to "negative" because the last person they repped was negative. From the comments, it would appear that they liked your caption.

So, as a note: if you don't re-click on positive rep after giving someone bad rep, all the rep you give will be negative. The default setting is whatever you did last.

See, I didn't know that because I've never given a negative rep. Thanks, it all makes more sense now.

Actually, neither have I, but that's what I've gleaned from reading around here. I suppose it's possible that I'm wrong, but given the evidence I'd rather think not.
