Like deja vu all over again.

I'd guess over a 90% reduction and no word in the CP.

Help <glub>

Moi

always seeking approval

I certainly had nothing to do with hitting anyone. If I feel my posts and responses are getting off balance I settle the issue(s) out of forum, if possible. If that doesn't work out I appeal to the moderator, again via PM.

This problem can be easily solved for a while.

Moi did not not say anything to deserve that reputation hit. I helped him get some back with a positive hit. It would be a nice jesture if others would do the same.

Negative reputation is not nice and especially if the giver does not identify them self. I don't believe in playing the negative reputation game and will not give it even when others are insulting or over critical toward me. We are not here for the purpose of being nasty to each other.

Noi was over critical of me for my post in the Political Forum but then apologized and tried to make amends.

Please help Moi to recoup his unfair loss.

Suggestions (if possible):

(1) Block negative reputation but allow positive reputation.

(2) Include an automatic signature of the poster for all reputation hits.

(3) Close the Political and Deep Dark Cellar forums.

That was not a good choice. How about restoring the reputation that you turned off.

Good choice, Paolo. I'd add to your reputation if possible for that! lol

Snookie you'll always be five stars to me.

So the reputation points got shot?

Mac, I think that only point 2 of yours would work.

First point kills the idea of reputation points. Negative reputation can and should be given at appropriate situations.

Third point - deep dark cellar and political forum are like a.... let's say a containment area. If it will be closed, political threads will spread like a disease on the whole forum. It is either contained, controlled and quarantined in one place, or it will be all over.

Probably, switching off the reputation points for the political section would be a good idea, but I do not know wherever vbulletin software allows such setting.

What is interesting is that when I looked this AM, Moi had not received any negative hits at all. He has had 2 positives in the past month till last night. So perhaps some pips converted to a star? Hallucinations maybe?

If the rep points come back - I'll leave that to Paolo - there is no function to force ID anyone. But anyone who leaves bad karma without a name is a coward and should be ignored. Negative karma cannot be blocked. The Cellar and Political forums will not go away - fhunter has it exactly correct. They are useful at times and certainly are a containment area. Everyone needs a place to pee....

The ethics of a post seemed to go above and beyond.

It was not a matter of agreement.

I issued and signed off on a negative reputation.

The first negative I have authored in ages.

I was PM'ed.

We PM'ed a few times and two things became apparent.

1) I did not understand my weight when issuing a reputation.

2) Two seemingly respectable people had a difference of opinion.

So, I deferred to kristoff with a copy to the new PM partner,

for kristoff to restore or not as he saw fit.

And then.

And then all my Suns aka Yellow Bursts, where gone to one.

Some 15 Bright Yellow thingies - gone except one along with a few green bars.

No mistake. I was raided, again. Not a password issue. How could I do it with my password? So how could anyone else with my password?

I enjoy the feedback when I write something well and have been giving positives also. I do hope the system comes back but, anyone who will not sign their user name should stay out of it.

Then again, I'll do anything for approval.
