It's nice to see I wasn't the only dummy asking this question. I looked everywhere but here for an answer, and Ignacio promptly sent me to the right place a few minutes ago.

I was concerned I might have stepped on some toes recently, which I try not to do, but now that I understand how this works, I won't lose any sleep tonight. At least nobody has sent me any nasty PMs calling me names.

A member said he'd try to help me out with my WTB request today, so I must still be doing something right.

 
So I'm a little slow on this one. Does the rep-o-meter do anything other than indicate how many times your comments have been anonymously liked or disliked? Seems kind of useless, or worse, potentially disruptive.

On the subject of being disruptive, I have an idea. Let's modify the system to send a PM that says something like, "XXX did(n't) like what you typed," where XXX=the voter's screen name. At least there would be some accountability for folks who would want to press the magic little minus button without ever giving any actual feedback to the person who made the post. I can just imagine the butt-hurt possibilities.

Better yet, anyone up for a competition to get the most negative rep? We could have prizes, set a beginning and end date, come up with some ground rules. Anyone?

Wouldn't that complicate the system with more flame wars?
Yeah, you're probably right. But I should still -1 you for it. :p

I looked for the buttons to -1 my own rep for mentioning such a stupid idea, but no dice.

 
Well, how's a girl supposed to get a bad rep around here then? Sleep with Old Michael???

:p :eek: :p

That's how I got mine.
How does this work, Mike? Do you play Romeo to Michael's Juliette?
madjackdog: On the Old Michael/SacramentoMike "baseball" team, it is really hard to tell just who is the pitcher and who is the catcher! It is not like Tim Lincecum and Buster Posey of the World Series Champion San Francisco Giants, where you definitely know who is the pitcher and who is the catcher!!!

Well that's why. If you piss off the admins with those disrespectful comments, they pull your privileges. Remember guideline no. 7.

And you REALLY don't want to know what happens the SECOND time you piss them off.

SacramentoMike, you go to the best damned parties! You NorCal guys attend parties with bare butted girls you can spank and everything! You go to a party at CFR with Bustanut joker, yamafitter and RaYzerman19 and it is just a bunch of dudes and a bottle of Crown Royal!!!

ummmm....Mike?

A situation like that is NOT a deterrant to this chicklet. In fact, you may have given me the impetus to incite a riot here

J'es sayin'

:yahoo:

She should have been able to do that 1,200 posts ago.
