I just found out about this service today and I have three negative posts. I guess I am a rude, negative troll!!!!! lol I must inform my family, friends and all the charities I work with so they are aware of this!!! lol lol lo I must come off pretty poorly on this board because I have never been called those names before. Even by my ex-husband!!!
Have a good weekend!!!l

yeah let it roll off your back. I get nasty remarks all the time because I'm opinionated, some people just don't have anything better to do.

Hey Kathy, don't let the negative feedback upset you. This sort of thing reminds me of junior high! I guess some people really get into the User CP thing and use it to vent their anger. I use it when I really agree with someone's post or think they said it in a good way.

I like your opinions and I think you should be able to express your opinions. Funny, don't you think, that those who cry for freedom of speech so loudly and think everyone should be able to say what they want are probably the ones who have given you the negative feedback, am I right? So I guess it's okay if "Rosie" says what she wants without repercussions but not you!!

Kathy, don't let it upset you, life is to short to worry about it!

Derepping isn't always kept "behind the screens".A person can let everybody know you derepped them and embarass the #### of you,lol . I thought repping was a nice way to say thankyou to a person whos post helped you or you learnt something from,and never dreamed I would ever derep someone but it can happen. We are all human with feelings sometimes that can be too overbearing for us.I thought a negative was way to keep the flames off the board but ,thats not going to work .I think derepping should be made unavailable ,because all it does is hurt peoples feelings.

Could someone tell me how to give someone reps? I cannot figure it out for the life of me.

To give reps (or take them away):

Along the top roght of the post you want to rep there is a number (yours is #8) and picture of scales and a caution sign. Click on the scales and it takes you to another page. You can then add or (correct me if I am wrond) remove rep points and agree or disagree with the poster. You can also leave a comment about why you did what you did. (I have never taken rep points away so I am not sure if it is that easy.) The person can the check their "user CP" and see who reped them and what their comment was.


As far as this topic goes- I would try not to let people bother you. I do not pay much attention to rep points and I am sorry your feelings were hurt.

That's the problem with the rep points its all a popularity contest. If people like you you get them if not than you don't. Admin's please end the misery and end the rep points.

At least take away the option to disapprove. Make feedback a positive thing.

We are all adults here and should be able to express our feelings without being torn apart for it.
If we were all alike, this whole board would be useless.
I have had to bite my tongue ( well, in this case...my fingers, I guess) many times but then I remember that this is place to "spit it all out" among friends without being afraid or emabrrased or whatever.
If a few decide to take it back to Jr. High, let them and let it be their problem. Most of us here are fairly open minded or at least respect everyone else's opinion. Just ignore the immature ones and keep speaking your mind to the rest of us!

AMEN!! I agree!

Of course I'm not mad at you or anyone. It may not seem like it but it take a lot to get me really mad at someone! I'm just very passionate, which for the most part, is good! See my repsonse to your topic!!! I was just surprised that people stoop low enough to call people names. Thanks for the support!!!

I see several people posted positive feedback for me!!! THANKS!!!!!

I am like Kathy I found out about them just yesterday, probably in the same post she did! I had one women blast me but, oh well you can't please everyone.

Kathy I would never call you a name other than "my rosie"!!!! I certainly wouldn't hurt someones points!!

I think the rep points are dumb-if you look amongst the rep pts. that so many of us have, we are all neck-to-neck... 214,ooooooo-really, who cares? If you like my post, reply. If you disagree w/ my post, reply. If you think my post is totally boring-ignore it...Let's not have to do math on every post given here.

I don't have any rep points Sob. I feel like such a wallflower. Oh, well.

One of the reasons I like boards like this, is to hear everyone's different viewpoints. I like being exposed to new ideas or different ways of thinking. I might not change my mind about something, but I do expand my mind and grow as a person.

I just read all your posts,and they are all VERY nice.I'm 100% sure that the negative rep was done by accident and was meant to be a positive.Anyway,I'll fix it for you and give you a rep.

So how do you read someone's else's comments, and how do you fix something if you did it wrong? I was playing around yesterday and accidentally had that I disapproved checked on the comment -- when I didn't. As I hit send I saw that I disapprove was marked in error. Is there anyway to fix that (if I can remember who I did it to)?
Chaos, I sure hope it wasn't you.
I'm still learning.
Donna

I don't know how to read anymore than the ones that come up. is there a second page for them? I know I had three negs, one calling me rude and one calling me a troll but they aren't on there now. I don't know it works!

I am sorry there are some people who feel they have to be rude. I learn from things other people post especially when it is in disagreement with my own beliefs. It is too bad people don't feel strongly enough in themselves that they feel so threatened they pick on others.
Again Kathy I am sorry for this happening to you. We should all be able to get along in a mature way.

I believe that the rep points should probably be disbanned. I say that if there is a post that is rude, defamatory, vulgar or just nasty, then there should be a "report post" option so the mods can look at it to see if it needs to be deleted. But, to be able to deduct points because you disagree with the post does not seem fair or constructive to me. I have read some posts on here on some subjects that I feel strongly about, but those topics are such hot button/topic issues that I would rather not contribute to some of the negative and personal things being said. If I have a strong belief/disbelief in a topic, I will put my convictions to work instead of trying to berate someone into thinking as I do.

When the whole rep thing was introduced, I felt it was not only incredibly confusing, but like others have said, a popularity contest. I figured I just wouldn't play. It seems so High School....which was a time in my life I prefer to forget.

There is a 'report post' link. Top right, red triangle in each post.

I still have no clue how this works....
