You're all pretty terrible posters now tbh. :realsmug:
I was in a rep circle.
A rep bombing circle.
fuck youQuote:

there was no elitist conspiracy to control the forums, we just had a bit of a giggle dropping bombs on people who made bad posts or had bad opinions, something everyone else would have done had enough of them actually had the sense to organise.
i concede i was a fucking awful poster four or five years ago (shit even four or five months ago), but considering the main bombing targets were people like stealth, linkandkvel, and talkingrain (until he simmered down a bit at which point i began trickling him +rep as encouragement to improve his posting), i really don't see where you're getting that we were some of the worst posters on the site.
edit: also it had nothing to do with being ex-gbx members, although that was mostly how it fell together by chance. it was about bombing bad posters, not bombing non-gbx posters. get your shit straight, son.
edit 2: "strategic rep command" was me and maybe snaf and one or two others, it was largely a joke. in reality there were a number of smaller groups which would occasionally band together for a bombing, but were entirely separate entities. there were a hell of a lot more cliques on the forum back then than you guys seem to realise, and most of them weren't all that close. bombings were a function of someone scouting the offending post/user and posting it where we could all see it, then individuals bombing at will, not any actual group action.
what's this "now" businessQuote:

If people feel sadden by the fact that their little green rep bars are being depleted because of negative opinions (-rep),
-OR-
If people feel like slapping their salami because they went up a green bar due to a positive reaction,
Then they have some serious issues.
But....but....two bars is better than one. :(Quote:

I have enough rep power to rep bomb someone into max red with one -rep now.
Talk about abuse.

The fact that I haven't received any additional rep in over a month, and still retain a spot in the top 25 is a testament to how little we actually wanted rep back. Does anybody actually use it anymore?
I do....I spread it....but honestly it serves no function other than for those who dislike others' posts to do so without having to actually shit-up a thread that they will shit-up with infuriated posts anyways. Just what I saw when we had full rep restored. Oh wait, you mean current rep system?Quote:

yes, that was supposedly the intent, but apparently it is haraam to hurt bad posters' feelings by letting them know they are, in fact, awful fucking posters with bad opinions and stupid arguments that don't support their outspoken idiocy in the slightestQuote:

I'd be willing to bet the majority is being spent on projects that are going to ultimately be shelved and on naval ships. I could probably put some research into this to come up with an accurate assessment, but :effort:.
You only have yourselves to blame for that.Quote:

If you didn't demonize social healthcare so much it might not be in such shambles.
The voting public have a long and proud history of doing private business' dirty work for them.

I also want to note that the "demonizing social healthcare" is not the sole cause of the country's woes and has not led us to shambles. There is a lot of other shit that's caused that! I just want that clear, but considering how often we chat I know what you mean.
This. Also they are by and large ignorant and uneducated. They actually passed a bill in my state that prevents land transfer taxes on large plots of land. Only two people in the whole state own enough land to be effected by it :smithicide:Quote:

Look at Freelancer, the only person in the world clearly that came to terms with being hated, even to the point signs were hammered into his lawn advising him to stop posting. If he managed to overcome the hatred and the rep abuse I am sure he suffered and even become a moderator, it's clearly not a reputation problem, it's a people problem.
LOfuckin'L I hardly ever actually helped in these attacks but that's what I figured was going on.
freelancer is a much cooler person when not on the internet, presumably because he realises saying Stupid Shit irl will have repercussions
I'd say about three quarters of the -reps I received were just from people on a bandwagon, or people who had an irrational hatred of some of my posts. I'd get -reps on posts just because people didn't like a different post.
Some people still hate my posts, and a few people even stopped posting when I became a moderator since they had another irrational fear that I'd abuse my power to ban them or some shit.
I haven't banned a single legitimate user on this site, though I've been tempted to a few times. People on this site need a slap in the face when it comes to attacking an opinion or post, and attacking the person who posted it. There's a big difference, one is discussion and/or debate, while the other is flaming and malicious remarks about an individual.
he did try to kill me once thoughQuote:
