Just wondering . . .
If you don't post on the site for a long period of time do you lose reputation points?

I got two reputations without any comments earlier, one for "The doublings are coming" and the other for "Fortunately/Unfortunately" Thanks to whoever sent them, though I'd love to know who you are.

If I'm correct Menel, I believe I might have been the one for "Fourtunately/Unfourtunately" and I forgot to sign it. What was the comment? I might be able to tell by that.
By the way, thank you to all those who have repped me lately. You have my gratitude. I'd also like to know who repped me for My "Balrog Appreciation Month" thread.

Fea, doesn't sound like one of mine, so the mystery continues.
Estel, to add to this new mystery I got an uncommented, unsigned pos-rep for a post in the fortunately/unfortunately thread.

Erm... while in my own case, not signing is due to hitting return when I runout of space ratherthan carrying on typing (I learnt my keyboard skills on a manual typewriter), I would say that while I abhor unsigned negative rep ..... I think people are entitled to leave positive unsigned rep..... I mean, occasionally I might do it if I rep someone who has coincidentally just repped me and I don't want it to look like a quid pro quo.... but generally I sign or PM if I realise my mistake...

I did the unthinkable- I gave an unsigned rep to BW.
I had only just started typing my message when a precariously balanced book on the table next to me fell and hit the "enter" key on the number pad. Oops.

I am sure that The BW is one of the people it matters least with - cos I am sure he can find out if he really wants. However if it were a neg rep....

I wonder...
Has anybody ever neg-repped you, B-W?
While you're at it, would you like to tell us where all the new reps came from? We got most of them, but I'm sure we missed out one or two - such as the Petty Dwarf. |

You really shouldn't tempt one such as me, TGWBS, Mith... Confound this perverse sense of "let's see just how far I can push my luck before it starts to push back." I try so hard to ignore it...

Big thanks to whoever gave me an unsigned werewolf IX rep. Won't post the text since it could be relevent to the game (Which doesn't matter to me since I am probably being lynched as we speak), and could matter to someone else. Just whoever you are, thanks a lot!

Up to now, I very rarely gave negative reps, but I have begun doing so for off-topic chat posts. There have been way too many of those recently! I will gladly negate those points with positive reps when I see that the members involved are writing on-topic, worthwhile posts again.
Oh, and I sign my comments... (It will be interesting to see if I get anonymous negative reps for this - it's happened before, when someone didn't like my moderating.)

This morning, I woke up and found myself in an unfamiliar place. I would have been quite puzzled but for the note that I found on a table.

I just got a rep from someone without a comment or name. I'd like to find out who it was if they don't mind telling me that is.
By the way, I thank you all for getting me to have a place at Aragorn's court, I feel so special. I get to sit with a King!! YAY!!!

I got a rep from someone for a post in Crazy Captions that said simply 'lol'. Just wondering who it was from if they don't mind telling me. I like to know who I've pleased

All you people asking about mystery reps. Gosh. I always sign mine, but it's nice to have a bit of mystery around the system sometimes. And guessing who it is in your free time is fun.
Edit: The person who just repped me for this post is HI, right? It must be HI. Maybe Fea...? Kath? Hehe. Last edited by the guy who be short; 09-11-2005 at 01:47 PM. |

I made my way into someone else's rep? Now I'm going to have to figure out what I'm right about... Hm. Under the context, I could see it being from the "Island of Sorrow" RPG, but I'm not sure what I'm right about. Puzzles, puzzles. Oh well. I can do the phantom-thing and just take it to mean that I am ultimately right. Therefore, balrogs have wings. |

Time to point fingers...
I just got an unsigned, no-comment rep. Don't know if it's the same as some of these other unsigned ones that are floating around, but I wanted to see if I could discover who it was. So I looked through the Member's List and came up with these three possibilities: Shelob, Lalaith, and NightKnight. Now, I probably missed some possibilities, but I'm sure it could have been any of those three.
So, whoever it was, confess now and no harm will com to you.

I think I should be exempt from that. I am after all a fellow Black Beorning, right? Right?? Besides, I'm pretty sure I'm not the one who repped you. I normally comment and sign mine.

The purpose of this thread is to discuss the Reputation system generally, not individual Reps (signed or unsigned). As was pointed out some way further back on the thread, some people prefer to Rep anonymously and they are entitled to do so.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but can't administrators see who gives reps? I seem to remember The Barrow-Wight posting stats about how many reps were unsigned, and he wouldn't know that without having been able to see them.
So if a person were to give a higher up an anonymous rep, would the administrators ignore the very strong pull of curiosity and avoid looking, to preserve the chosen anonymity?

So, back on topic: It would be interesting to know if the admins can see all the reps, and the inside info of who gave them. Perhaps they stalk the rep pages, surveying all the proceedings, watching for foul play... if foul play is possible. Well, I have nothing to hide.
