I don't mind receiving bad reps when they make sense; however, I got a rather rude one from a person named Angrist the other day. I looked up the name in the member list, but to no avail. Gutless.

P.S. By the way, i-n-t-e-l-l-i-g-e-n-c-e is spelled with 2 L's, Angrist.

I'm ashamed to admit it, but I've been signing all of my neg-reps "from Esty". Sorry.

But seriously, yes, if you're going to neg rep give your name. If it's not a criticism that you feel you can attach your name to then it probably doesn't need to be given.

I think the only neg rep I got was blank. So I have no idea why they didn't like my post, only that they didn't like it. A name would've been nice, so I could pm them and pursue the issue a little further and perhaps resolve and/or improve it.

Wow. What a huge scumbag.

I only got one neg-rep, and it was unsigned, but I think it was from a new user who probably had yet to "get" the whole rep "thing". It was for a post with which the neg-repper simply disagreed, though he/she/it didn't actually dislike my tone or style or something neg-rep worthy. But, because I'm relatively sure it was a newly dead Downer, while the disagreement should have been addressed through a responding post rather than a neg-rep, I don't actually hold any hard feelings about it. Though...I have some Sicilian cousins who do little jobs for the family, and they may be taking a plane trip when I find out who it was...

I got one from the same guy!

It said: "Please try and use inteligent speech like Morth and Gwathagor! ~Angrist" At first I thought it was Morth or Gwath under a disguised name, but I guess that I was wrong.

If it wasn't a ne'er-do-well talking (Angrist, that is, not Groin), I'd take that as a compliment.

The only neg rep I've ever gotten was well deserved, but I got this positive rep that was blank, I don't know why I got it and there was no comment with it, it wasn't even signed... I don't know why... maybe the person was just dealing out rep points? But I think that if you're going to give rep, then you should give it for good reason...

I repped you. . .but I am quite sure that was signed.

Yes, it was...

How many rep points do I have to get before I get two boxes, Thinlomien or Legate? Any idea?
