Just wondering . . .
If you don't post on the site for a long period of time do you lose reputation points?

I'm very amazed... in the past few hours, I've gotten not one, but two unsigned pos-reps. Commented, yet unsigned. And I'm not even sure how much they're worth because I have no idea how many points I had before. How intriguing.
What threads were they for? Recently I forgot to sign a rep and usually I PM the person, but kind of slipped my mind and I soon forgot the person I repped. So one may be mine.

As far as I know, no. When I first joined February about 2 years ago I think, I sort of forgot about the place and didn't come back for about 6 months. I don't recall losing any points, but then again I didn't know the "User CP" option until I had been on the downs for almost a year lol.

One was for Encaitare's Da Vinci thread for my portrayals of Heren, Fordie, 'Mer, and The Phantom Who Be Short. The other was for a sort-of recent RP post.

I got two reputations without any comments earlier, one for "The doublings are coming" and the other for "Fortunately/Unfortunately" Thanks to whoever sent them, though I'd love to know who you are.

If I'm correct Menel, I believe I might have been the one for "Fourtunately/Unfourtunately" and I forgot to sign it. What was the comment? I might be able to tell by that.

By the way, thank you to all those who have repped me lately. You have my gratitude.

I'd also like to know who repped me for My "Balrog Appreciation Month" thread.

Just today I got an uncommented/unsigned rep for this post in Crazy Captions. It's no big deal, really, but I wouldn't mind knowing who gave it to me...hint, hint.

Fea, doesn't sound like one of mine, so the mystery continues.

Estel, to add to this new mystery I got an uncommented, unsigned pos-rep for a post in the fortunately/unfortunately thread.

Erm... while in my own case, not signing is due to hitting return when I runout of space ratherthan carrying on typing (I learnt my keyboard skills on a manual typewriter), I would say that while I abhor unsigned negative rep ..... I think people are entitled to leave positive unsigned rep..... I mean, occasionally I might do it if I rep someone who has coincidentally just repped me and I don't want it to look like a quid pro quo.... but generally I sign or PM if I realise my mistake...

I did the unthinkable- I gave an unsigned rep to BW.

I had only just started typing my message when a precariously balanced book on the table next to me fell and hit the "enter" key on the number pad.

Oops.

I am sure that The BW is one of the people it matters least with - cos I am sure he can find out if he really wants. However if it were a neg rep....

Don't you have to sign if it's a negative rep or something? In any event, whether you signed it or not, negative reps in that direction can never be good.

I wonder...
Has anybody ever neg-repped you, B-W?

While you're at it, would you like to tell us where all the new reps came from? We got most of them, but I'm sure we missed out one or two - such as the Petty Dwarf.

You really shouldn't tempt one such as me, TGWBS, Mith... Confound this perverse sense of "let's see just how far I can push my luck before it starts to push back." I try so hard to ignore it...

Morally, I would say yes but actually no it is quite possible to leave anonymous neg rep because I have received them!!!!

I would guess no. I couldn't imagine the B-W making a post that would warrant a negative rep, and if he does than I must question his administration. Even if he did make a post warranting a negative rep I doubt one would stand up and do it.

Uh-oh, I just noticed I might have made my dreams to uspurp the autority of the downs too apparent, ummm...I take what I said back.

Big thanks to whoever gave me an unsigned werewolf IX rep. Won't post the text since it could be relevent to the game (Which doesn't matter to me since I am probably being lynched as we speak), and could matter to someone else. Just whoever you are, thanks a lot!

Up to now, I very rarely gave negative reps, but I have begun doing so for off-topic chat posts. There have been way too many of those recently! I will gladly negate those points with positive reps when I see that the members involved are writing on-topic, worthwhile posts again.

Oh, and I sign my comments...

(It will be interesting to see if I get anonymous negative reps for this - it's happened before, when someone didn't like my moderating.)

All you people asking about mystery reps. Gosh. I always sign mine, but it's nice to have a bit of mystery around the system sometimes. And guessing who it is in your free time is fun.

Edit: The person who just repped me for this post is HI, right? It must be HI. Maybe Fea...? Kath? Hehe.

Wasn't me! Normally I would guess but I haven't looked at my User CP for a few days and so I can't work out the points.

Okay, it was unsigned by man did that make me smile. I think my head inflated a wee bit too.

Is there anyone else with those absolutely uplifting reps that they'd like to share?

Yes. I got this one:

I'm sure that last bit will uplift Firefoot, but that first part... I had a smile for quite some time over it. A praise from the praiseworthy, as it were.

I made my way into someone else's rep? Now I'm going to have to figure out what I'm right about... Hm. Under the context, I could see it being from the "Island of Sorrow" RPG, but I'm not sure what I'm right about. Puzzles, puzzles. Oh well. I can do the phantom-thing and just take it to mean that I am ultimately right. Therefore, balrogs have wings.

Actually, it's not from Island of Sorrow. But it's more fun not to tell you who or what it's from... I just feel like being that way tonight.

Time to point fingers...
I just got an unsigned, no-comment rep. Don't know if it's the same as some of these other unsigned ones that are floating around, but I wanted to see if I could discover who it was. So I looked through the Member's List and came up with these three possibilities: Shelob, Lalaith, and NightKnight. Now, I probably missed some possibilities, but I'm sure it could have been any of those three.

So, whoever it was, confess now and no harm will com to you.

I think I should be exempt from that. I am after all a fellow Black Beorning, right? Right?? Besides, I'm pretty sure I'm not the one who repped you. I normally comment and sign mine.

I've already posted this one, wondering who it was from, but I got this very sweet anonymous rep about a week ago:

Just because I think highly of you!
It was really a wonderful thing to recieve, and many thanks to that mysterious person who sent it!

The purpose of this thread is to discuss the Reputation system generally, not individual Reps (signed or unsigned). As was pointed out some way further back on the thread, some people prefer to Rep anonymously and they are entitled to do so.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but can't administrators see who gives reps? I seem to remember The Barrow-Wight posting stats about how many reps were unsigned, and he wouldn't know that without having been able to see them.

So if a person were to give a higher up an anonymous rep, would the administrators ignore the very strong pull of curiosity and avoid looking, to preserve the chosen anonymity?

Actually, I'd say the hunt is over. Sorry, no time for the Balrog mask. I got it narrowed down to those three, but that's about the end of it.

Oh... sorry. Point taken; there shall be no comments from me regarding my personal reps received. Thanks for the reminder.


So, back on topic: It would be interesting to know if the admins can see all the reps, and the inside info of who gave them. Perhaps they stalk the rep pages, surveying all the proceedings, watching for foul play... if foul play is possible. Well, I have nothing to hide.
