Reputations

[The Only Real Estel]

Many people on the downs do misuse negative repping

I don't think so. Sure, there are obviously cases of misuse of the neg rep option, but I think saying "many people" is a stretch. Especially when you consider all of the good rep being given out & just how many members there are here on the 'Downs...I'd say a select few "misuse it," if any do.

"Misuse" would also imply repeated usage of the option in a wrong way, & I really doubt that many people consistently "misuse" it...but that's a whole other subject.

Thanks for all who gave me reputation yesterday - Wilwa, Estel, Rune and Gurthang. I hadn't got rep almost for a week and that was affecting my mental health more than it probably should. Besides, I'm now on the second page of members list, if it's arranged by reputation.

well you deserved it. . . I know how you feel, I too let me affect way to much by the fact that I have not gotten any rep. for a while. (currently it is about 6 days ago)
Just ask Valesse who I spend some time complainting to. . . sorry about that Valesse

True, it makes me very happy to see that someone has liked my thoughts/ideas/humor/writing. Likewise, when I look and don't see anything new, it's not so much that I'm unhappy(not anymore at least), but rather that I just don't have that gratification that I was hoping for. Like mild dissappointment.

By the way, congrats on breaking into the top 60, Thin. *pats back*

I don't think I've posted on this thread before...

So I'd just like to go ahead and say a big snuggly thank you to everyone who's repped me. I'm now packed, saddled and bound for the Straight Road thanks to you wonderful people, although compared to most of you I'm sure I don't deserve such status. But thanks anyway!

I'm sure I don't deserve such status

Do any of us deserve our status, in our own opinions at least? I think rep titles are quite a bit like pictures. Someone might tell us that our picture looks great, but we'd never believe it; and we'd never believe that we've "earned" our rep titles/status either, no matter how often people try to tell us that we have.

So I won't waste time by saying that I think, beyond a shadow of a doubt, you've earned your status/title, Meela.

Alright, now whose the slimeball that gave me a negative rep with this tagline-

Go random neg rep points!

It was unfair and uncalled for. I deserve an apology

[Morsul the Dark]

Sleepy, I feel bad for you that you got that rep, but please refrain from lashing out. The above post could very well earn you another negative(not from me) because it's pretty offensive in itself. Though it may have been unfair and uncalled for, responding in such a way is probably not the best thing to do.

In your situation, I'd look to see if there was maybe a real reason you recieved the rep you got.
