Reputations

[Firefoot]

Lhuna, I know what you mean. I've gotten a couple of reps fairly recently (one a few days ago, the other within the last month or so) that had comments but weren't signed. I get so curious about who wrote them that I tend to forget about the rep itself. It's like a puzzle - "well, it couldn't be so-and-so because their points would be higher, but it probably isn't that person either because they always sign their reps..." But it is appreicated nonetheless.

The identity of the anonymous repper has been revealed, but due to a lesson hard-learned, I'd rather not disclose that information (not that anybody's interested ). So, you-know-who-you-are, thanks for the third time!

Just so everyone knows, I randomly select someone each day and give them a negative rep and don't sign it. I do this for several reasons- to fuel discussion on this thread, to make people wonder what in the world they said wrong, and most importantly, to infuriate people.

My psychiatrist told me I had a lot of hostility towards the world and people in general and that I should find a way to vent. Giving anonymous negative reps is how I deal with my emotional problems. I hope you guys don't mind.

After all, a negative rep is a small price to pay for keeping me in a good mood. I mean- my arrogant, unyielding posts are bad enough sometimes. Can you imagine them with maliciousness and extreme disdain added? Now that's a scary thought.

Oh- and congrats to Fea who is now bound for the Straight Road, though I doubt one so- well... bonkers , will be able to stay on a straight road for long.

i second that...

phantom you really, really need a girlfriend

Wait, wait... I tell you that I have problems with hostility and you tell me to get a girlfriend?

In other words, you are telling me that I should vent my frustrations by beating a young lady?!

What kind of monster are you?!

Or are you saying that a girlfriend would smooth out my rough edges?

Or do you think that I am really cool and entertaining and are hinting that I should get a girlfriend cause you'd love to step in and fill the vacancy?

i second that...

Well, since Gil seconded it I'm going to assume it's not the latter.

And also, I don't think my single status has anything to do with the topic. You should be ashamed of yourselves- cluttering up the thread like this.

You should try to be dead serious and on topic at all times, or at least sprinkle in something on topic in every post.

For example-
I'd just like to say that this reputation system is really cool.

Now, do you notice how my post is suddenly on topic? Quite clever, eh?

I would suggest going back and editing your posts and inserting "I like reps" or "I got an unsigned rep today". That would probably be enough to pacify our hard-working, kind, very intelligent, and very forgiving moderators.

And if that doesn't work, try and butter them up with compliments (though I would never stoop so low myself).

One of the most enjoyable things about being able to leave unsigned reps is that it leaves you wide open to play delightful games. Like saying "I think your post was hilarious, but I'm not going to tell you who thinks it. Suffice to say, the answer is "I"." or other such nonsense. After all, it's the comment that's important, not the sender, correct?
