Rep Points, the Universe and Everything, Now with MAGNETS

Is it somehow possible to know, who gave me a bad reputation point?

[Anubis]

I don't believe it is possible, unless they state their name. I'm not even sure if mods/admins can see this feature!

Heh, yah, at first i wanted to know who have been giving me reputation (bad and good), and other than giving their name in their comment, i think its better that we don't know. Because some people, or maybe a lot of people, will just easily give that person who gave u a bad repuation a bad reputation point, then it would even be a more flawed system...

I got a bad one myself and didn' t understand why...or who....

I'll give *you* a good one now....because you've been so helpful! *Danke!*

I once got a bad rep. point because I said I liked the Atlantis gate better then the old one. Of course anonymous and no comment, as usual when dealing with bad rep.

I guess I got mine because I said something about languages...which I always do because I've studied linguistics - but I think some people don't like being told they're wrong...I don't think I like this reputation thing....

I like reputation Too bad not many use it¨

Wish I could see the rep I've given too.

[Iskandra]

That's the problem...if everyone used it maybe things would be different. But the way it usually is, you collect a few points here and there, and if you manage to pi$$ someone off

I wish I could see the individual points some people have

I got my first Bad one for an extremely mild and inconsequential post about how I liked both Weirs but the blonde one better. It seemed weird to get it for perhaps the most innofensive post I've ever posted outside of the fluffy threads!

Don't anyone worry too much about the bad rep points you get. As far as I can tell most people give far more positives than negatives (I'm certain that there are fewer 'ITA' and 'ROFL' posts here than there used to be on Delphi and I reckon it's cos people are giving a rep point instead). So eventually it evens out and more.

I like my REP points being anonymous. There are funny little comments in them and - okay, I'm probably being sad here - I think it's a bit more exciting when you don't know who sent it.

[veneticuss]

Well, thats too bad. I dont care too much, but i think i just got a rep point just for nothing
Can the mods see who gave you the point?

[TameFarrar]

I have never gotten a bad one....but I am like Madeline.......I really don't always want to know who.....but I do like to know why........did you like my post....did you think I was funny.........Was my opinion spot on or spot off but thanks for trying.............. and again I am very lucky....I have a note next to each one that has come my way so I guess I am spoiled. But I also try to be sure that when I give out rep points that I say *why* I am giving them. I don't think I want to sign them...because it is nice to do something for someone anonymously and if I am giving a bad rep I would not like to be badgered about doing it. Although I have never given one. I normally express myself in thread

[Anubis]

I've only ever had one bad reputation point, but if people knew who gave thm a bad point, they'd probably go and give that person a bad point too for being given one or probably send a private message or email questioning what they did. I think anonymous reputation works for the better in the overall situation.

[veneticuss]

But do the mods know who gave whom a rep point?

[Roatbaum]

I'm guessing that if they had to identify themselves, no one would get a bad rep point. If this has been said already, I apologize, I didn't have time to read them all, sorry. this is my opinion.This is why I hardly come here anymore.

Hey, on this topic, I know it's a stupid question, but is it true that the Shipper threads are "protected"? I've never heard anything like that before, so is it true? Or is it just some understood rule? I voiced my personal opinion in one of them yesterday (hey, I was bored...), and over SIX of them gave me a bad rep point for posting my ONE argument in a "protected" thread! And they ALL had something to say:
1-(not activated)-Trolling in the Shipper Thread? Bad form.
2-This is a protected Sam and Jack thread.
3-I think you have poor manners!
4-This is a protected pro-ship thread. Take it to the ship discussion thread.
5-bothering shippers on a clearly marked shipper post
6-Spamming in a protected thread is not accepted at GW
7-Protected thread
Maybe I did deserve it, and let me tell you I'll never enter one of those horrible threads again, but I still can't find anything about "protected" threads in the Gateworld FAQ. Can someone help me out here? (And if anyone would like to donate some spare green rep points to me for any reason, whatsoever, they would be greatly appreciated. ) Thanks!
