The 'Rep" Feature

***ahippiechic*** · 08-21-2008, 04:09 PM

The "rep" feature was added so you can leave other members comments about a post they make. The rep falls under the same rules as posting and sending PMs. You can disagree but no name calling etc. If we have to start spending all our time editing hateful rep, then we'll just disable it altogether. There is a reson that the "I disapprove' rep is disabled for members. And before people start PM'ing us to edit all their rep, we aren't going to be editing it unless we think it necessary. This isn't the huggle snuggle board. We are a big and diverse group with strong opinions.

To leave someone rep, click on the scales on the left, under their username and info and add a comment. To see rep left for you, go to your User cp.

Yes, but some people also get in a hot mess if someone makes a comment about their post that isn't a hug or something. So it goes to both extremes.

I always see people saying that if you can't say something nice don't say anything at all. Well that isn't realistic. Not everybody is going to be nice. It's life. LOL If you ask for opinions you should expect to get some that you aren't going to agree with.

I don't mind opinions that don't agree with mine (even though, let's face it, that should be illegal lol) but what I hate is when there is a post about a subject and someone brings up old drama that had nothing to do with the original post.

lol.. well asking for opinions and rep are 2 different things... at least in my opinion.. LOL

seriously though.. I always thought the rep function was if you wanted to compliment or agree with a post... it never crossed my mind that people used it to be nasty or put down a post...

lol.. yes.. I can be naive at times..

I rarely ever remember the rep feature, so leaving me a nasty message would pretty much be a waste of time. - lol

I am with mosdata on this one. LOL

now I gotta go look to see if I got something negative...but first... does anyone have some popcorn??

I seem to have missed something along the way.

I haven't checked mine in forever. lol All of this started because of someone not agreeing with a comment that was posted in one of their threads. It then spilled over into the reputation. What I was trying to say is that you just can't expect everyone to be nice. It's not that way in real life and it certainly isn't that way on the internet. lol

dangerousfem · 08-21-2008, 11:18 PM

well why not??? I think your opinion sucks.. and now I'm going to leave you some nasty rep!!!
