It finaly happend, I got my first negative rep. points.
Since It was not signed, I don't know who to direct my response at. I have then decidet it will be all of you. Who ever gave me my the rep actually liked my post, but gave me the - rep anyway as s/he thought my spelling was just awfull. It proberbly was and as I have said to many of you: I am truly sorry about it, but I have allways been terrible at spelling (in danish) and it does not make it easyer when I am writting in english. I will of course try do somthing about the problem, but It is not allways possible for me to check it all twice or even spot the mistakes I make. So until I improve my spelling, I hope you will have patience with me. If I make a post and the spelling realy bothers you please pm me and I will try to improve it. I think the neg rep was fair,(if not for this post then for some other I have made) but I see no reson for me to get even more neg. rep. for somthing I am trying to improve. (+ If I everybody punishes me when I do this thing, I will soon be kicked down from Taniquetil. - Rune |

Rune, don't feel bad about it - your English spelling is a damn sight better than mine in any language other than French. It isn't fair, but hey, look at it this way: the person who repped you probably simply didn't realise English wasn't your first language - which, hey, you could take as a compliment

I'm sorry to hear that Rune...but if it's any consolation your English is fantastic, for one who doesn't have it as a first language. Besides, at least this neg-repper told you s/he liked your post...
If ever it happens again perhaps you can put your location in all caps or something. |

Rune try not to think about it! Trying to cope with an entire forum in a foreign language can't be easy, and I know if I tried it in Danish I wouldn't understand any of it!

Anyway, thanks for getting me this high, everyone.

Alright, I need help here... I got an unsigned, red rep... so far I had had Green (yaye!) and sort of bluish-grey colour (naye!) but now red? I'm guessing it's a neg-rep as it's unsigned.... but how does it differ from the bluish-gray? and even more, if the misterious neg repper reads this, would he (she... it?) mind sending me a PM telling me how exactly I offended them with my post in "Gandalf blew Galadriel's Cover" ? I'd much appreciate an answer for either question.
And yes, I'm still hoping whoever negreps me to come forward, as I dont mind the rep as long as I know why!! |

A blueish-gray rep is a 0 point rep. It comes from somebody who either hasn't posted more than 50 times or they don't have enough rep themselves to give a point. So it's positive in nature just not points

It just bugs the heck out of me... I'm not collecting rep points, I won't cry if I never mount Tanquetil (did I butcher it's name?) but hey, if I say something you don't like, have the decency of telling me what that is!! and giving your name.... that way it's feedback what I'm getting.... if it's unsigned and unexplained, then it's completely useless....

Of course it's too bad that you don't have any feedback at all, Farael, & it's a little mind-boggling that people give out unsigned neg reps unless they're just trying to get a reaction out of people.
I know it can't feel good by any stretch of the imagination to get neg-repped "unjustly," especially when you have nothing to go on; but if you did absolutely nothing "wrong" you have nothing to worry about. You already said you don't collect rep points, so you have no reason to hang onto it over the points lost; and if it's for nothing then you don't need to worry about "improving" on anything because you have nothing to improve on. Sure, they're annoying and I don't blame anyone for bringing it up once in this thread hoping to get a discussion with the phantom negrepper (of course I don't mean the phantom), but I just don't see how dwelling on these things does a whole lot of good in the end. |

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.

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.

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've had a thought, (oh dear), I think that it is possible that in time, The Barrow Wight will decide to let us chose rep titles in the same manner as normal titles. Perhaps, but its the only thing I can think of.

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!) |
