It would be a tough call whether to +ve rep someone for the opportunity of insulting them. I like it.

Agreed! And friend count is the new rep!

Seriously I think that rep should only be given on posts in fora other than general or LR. I also dislike -ve rep : IMO it should be removed. Especially after spod thought it highly funny to give me -ve rep on my birthday. I reported him to CM for that.

Been requested many times. The CUK mods choose to ignore such sensible advise, unfortunately.

Most of the other sites I visit removed neg repping long ago, as it's a system that does nothing but attract abuse. Much better to have a system where posters are given "positive" feedback for their helpful, informative or humorous posts.

I don't think you have a particularly clear picture of my repping process being the other receiver of many of my neg posts for your continuous posts showing you are unable to make a decision for yourself over the last year or so. If you post pap you get a neg rep, if you post something interesting you get a pos one. The fact some people get more negs that positive isn't down to me picking on them. You need to look a little closer to home.

LOL. Must admit I do think you are quite good fun mind.

So come on - tell everyone - are you a nice guy really?

To be honest, I dont mind. NLUKs response to some of the stupider questions are quite entertaining. But I must admit I think rep is pretty pointless anyway but if NLUK has fun with it then fair enough.....

Quite a spacing of negs there. I don't think you're being victimised. If someone had bothered either way about any of your posts between 17th July and 29th August, it wouldn't have been in a row.

It's "you're" by the way. Short for "you are".

It's 'had bothered' by the way, not 'had bother'.

Does anyone really care that much about rep? let's face it if you ask a question without doing a search first you're bound to get a neg rep but then on the flip side at least you started a thread, without threads this forum wouldn't exist so I suppose it's about finding a happy medium. Each situation is different and if you can't find what you want then ask
