Okay can someone explain "Repping" someone, what it's for/ how do you do it? I have seen you guys "repping" eachother- then today I discovered I have 188 points... Is that good? LOL

I also discovered some pssy gave me neg reps but was too spineless to sign his name to it- I guess whoever it was didn't appreciate my comment about the smoke ban in Ohio. heres the neg rep post-

( Ohio now smoke free...... 12-06-2006 01:55 PM stop breathin-and jo jerk it)

Dude whoever you are- if you want me to stop breathing- I'll give you an opportunity to make it happen- just PM me and we'll work out the details...

anyway- I appreciate all the pos reps from you guys/girls and am sorry I didn't return the repts- I still don't even really understand what it's all about.

The rep system is nothing more than a popularity contest. It has no effect to you whatsoever. It's just a way of showing someone that you like them or that you don't like them. The attention whores on the board live and die by it though. :lol:

don't take it personal if someone gives you a neg rep... I've come to the conclusion that not everyone is going to agree with my opinions... surprizingly enough my opinion may not go along with the majority of the world but I could care less if someone wants to neg rep me for my opinions... especially if they are too much of a wuss to sign their name with it...

no need for personal attacks or threats there tommytom... that type of stuff will just get you a short vacation from the boards and someone like that is not worth the time it took to type...

use the search button and type rep you will get quite a few posts... :dthumb:

oh okay... well I appreciate the points- but if they have no effect I guess I won't worry that someone gave me neg rep... But it is still spineless to tell someone to stop breathing and not sign your name to it. It ranks right up there with keying some guys car cuz you're to scared to face him.

If I do want to rep someone- how do I do it?

Your neg rep may be worthy of asking Gas man to find out who it is, the mods can see who reped you. We don't need people threatening each other in secret. Plus, they violated the rules of this board with that rep.

To give reps click the little scale icon (middle one between the online/offline indicator and the warning sign for reporting posts) below the person's avatar in the post you want to rep. It will pull up a little window to give an approval or disapproval rep.

See the little scale at the bottom of your post, at the left below your screen name? Click on that under someone's name and you can rep them. If you "agree" it's positive rep. If you "disagree" it's neg rep.

If you don't sign any reps then thats fine... but when some people will sign their positive reps in hopes of return rep love then don't sign when they disagree with your opinion that is just lame..

I believe that negative rep points should be given for people who violate forum rules like personally attackin another person... not attacking their opinion but the person themself... or if someone is postwhoring in a non approved forum.... these things shold get negative reps...

I don't remember when the rep system came into existence, was it there for that? Seems like that was awhile ago. I rarely pos rep, much less neg rep, so I don't know.

The rep game has morphed into either an agree or disagree on a post and funny/cool pics or words. Some people share pics that wouldn't be appropriate in public, so we put it in the rep comments. I think it's a cool little system. Is it used correctly? Yes and no. Most of us like it, whereas some people get their panties bunched up over it.

And some of us feel about it the same way we feel about the "infraction points" system...

It wouldn't be the first time Gas called a neg repper out. I wonder who did it, that would be funny if it was me and I don't remember doing it. I am not a big hater of smoking, so I don't think I would do it unless I was trying to be spiteful to someone or screwing around with someone. :lol:
