View Full Version : The MoFo Bad Reputation
Sorry if this topics been used before.
I have a 1 negative rep so far in my tenure here (well until this thread that is), and Im curious if theres someone or somoenes that have a considerable amount of "thumbs down" votes. With all the debating and analyzing that goes on here Id think it inevitable to collect some. Especially amongst the posters with huge post counts.
My guess is Yoda has the largest negative rep count (though Im sure its overshadowed by his massive positive rep count) due to being a moderator, and having to lay down the law at times. Really a negative rep imo isnt the scarlet letter A. Especially if theyve posted here a long time.
Any high "neg" rep counts out there? Any funny stories attached to them? Please share...

Click on the "Quick Links" tab in the top right hand corner and then click on the "Post Ratings" tab. This will answer some of your questions. And no, Yoda isn't the negative rep leader.
Thanks Harry. Yep that answered the actual count part of the question, and Im surprised who #1 is. Usually its the most opinionated person will carry the most baggage.
Dont think of it as people giving you a bad rep! Its more like the grill of your car collecting lovebugs.
I have 5 neg rep, I think it is pretty good for being here just under a year. I do know that 2 of them were accidents though :laugh:

No, he hasn't.
I think I have, like, one negative rep in the last 5-6 months.
Most of the ones I give out are to quota spammers and things like that.

I have two negative rep points, and one of them was given to me by accident.
If you guys are certain they were accidental, you can have the person who gave it to you drop me a quick PM and I can zap it for you. :)

Notice I give very little neg rep. I tend to ignore posts I don't like. Oddly, I don't mind receiving -rep much.
I have three negative rep. Two were from Vertical Gunn, when I was trying to get him to stop making so many multiple . . . everything. He said I deserved it, of course. He got a few of us that night, including Mark, who also deserved it. What a turd he was.
That's about all the story I have with mine, Tongo.

I have 22 neg reps... and, if I remember right, several of those were from Vertical Gunn too... which I thought was funny because he was a acting like a child having a temper tantrum. Several of the others I have were from another "member" who is no longer here who had a tendency to just randomly hit people with negative rep.
As for me handing out negative rep... I have a few times but I don't think any of the ones I hit were regular members...
Negative: 0.49%
I'm more prone to say something about a post I don't like in the threads than hit someone with negative rep...
Mine is at 3.43% Negative.
I don't negative rep regulars, either. I'm stressing the word "regulars". I hit spammers, from time to time, but I usually forget to. I negative repped Vertical Gunn after he hit us all that night. Oddly enough, he plus repped some odd post of mine, roughly 5-10 seconds after I did his. He then sent me a "I respect you" comment, and posted that "Apology" thread. You're right, Caity. They were tantrums.
It's a pity his negative rep didn't leave with him. :p
I have 15 negative rep points. Most of those are accidental, I think, but I know I've received a few from here-and-gone spammers who usually don't like what I have to say about the ridiculous threads they start.
As far as giving out negative rep, my percentage is 0.13% (all to spammers).

I am a mod, so I accrue a negative here and there in the line of duty. I am also an overbearing hot-headed jack ass, so that nets me a few, as well. I think a good 10-15 are from Meatwadsprite, as we didn't get along at all when he first joined. I think the kid's the berries now, though...
Wow, spammers negative repping. That's crap. That should disappear when they are banned. Those little . . .
Hell, I've never even seen one stick around long enough to negative rep someone. Of course that might have something to do with me banning them right after the spam thread goes up. :p

I have three negative rep points.
My first ever MoFo post was neg repped by Yoda because I hadn't put any spaces between paragraphs; it was a review. A little harsh, but he probably thought I was a spammer.
Probably, but then again, I think everyone's a spammer at first. ;D
Anyway, yes, many have remarked on Holden being among the most negatively-repped MoFos, but he's among the leaders in positive rep, as well. It's more about ratio, anyway; Purandara and Django would have scads more if they hadn't been banned.

Everyone needs at least one negative rep point. Maybe I'll give you one and then positive rep you somewhere else so that it doesn't change your overall count but still allows you to say you have one negative rep point.

I had to rep you a good one Toose as that damn song was going thru my head when I made the thread.
A public congrats to Destiny becoming mod. Im very out of the loop but not a finer decision couldve been made. She introduced me to this place. (Dont neg rep her!)
I remember where my only neg rep point came from! I was guessing it was Holden for me comparing Unforgiven to Tombstone, but it was Lennon. Reason was I made the "Images Of Film" thread, and being newby put one pic in a post. He thought I was artificially boosting my post count (I really wasnt just at that .Org place it looked better one at a time), and I called him a spammer. Since then weve had good talks, and I discovered the pics do look good grouped together here.
Actually Holden Pike is living proof why a neg rep count aint bad. If you cant argue with passion...then why? I always read his posts.

By the way, I'm certainly not complaining about or crying over the negative rep I've received during my tenure. Because unlike most of you, I ain't at all afraid to dish it out. In fact, I've given out more negative rep than positive. Positive = 41.88%, and Negative = 58.12%.
Yup. But that percentage is coming down. I think not all that long ago it used to be at over 61% negative, so I reckon I'm softening in my old age.

As I recall, none whatsoever. I've put it down to two reasons - one, they're too busy trying to spam and two, they're too stupid to figure out there's a rep system in place.
And I definitely remember getting a few pieces of -rep from Holden Pike. Of course, I deserved it as I was being a passive-aggressive dumbass towards him, when I got the post comment that I still haven't forgotten four years later...
"Do you want to get into a pissing match with me?"
Anyway, current rep count?

Ah, yes, I can attest to you not being afraid. My only negative rep point was dished out by you.

Of course, that was in response to my giving you one of the very few neg points I've ever given. I thought you were so mean! (I was new then, I didn't understand Holden's "style.")
Reading this thread, I'm pretty shocked that so many of you have neg rep points. You're all like the core of this website! But then again, when you all refer to spammers and those that were banned, I never know who these people are.....or were.... :confused:

Holden hit me a few times... and if I remember correctly, it was because I mentioned something about having a problem with a member handing out negative rep left and right... and I assume he thought I meant him... but I didn't. It was the other member (who is no longer here) who used to just randomly hit members with as many negative rep points as the system would allow at a time.... this was all back when all of it was anonymous and I assume he got his kicks by doing so… anyway, I thought I knew who it was who hit me by the comment they left... but was 100% sure who it was by the comment he left after I made another post accusing them of having certain body parts missing... :p :D

If you stay around here long enough, you're bound to get some negative rep from someone... I even got one in the quote thread once from a regular member just because they didn't understand the quote I posted...
I would give out more negative rep, but I get warned by Yoda to cool it.
I actually love the neg rep I have. I am not saying: I love neg rep. I deserved the hits I have been dinged with ftmp. There are quite a few gratuitous hits, but I probably asked for those also. What I am saying is that sometimes I push a button or smack an arse ;) on purpose. Sometimes my butt gets slapped back :eek:.

Not necessarily posts, but posters.

Here's some examples;
I've got more rep than you, so I have more creditability.
I've got more seniority.

Someday maybe we'll make a run to Scarecrow Video and rent some rare films.

I have amassed 92 negative rep points during my 5 years here. That works out to 18.4 a year and 1.53 a month. Of course, in reality, 80% of those negative reps were acquired during my first 2-3 years here. In fact, I was on the all-time negative list up until awhile ago. Man, I was a pain in the arse. :D
As of late, I have only gotten a few negative reps (mostly from Yoda and a few were bogus, IMO....that's right Chris, I said you gave me BOGUS reps! ;)). As for the rep I dish out only 5% of it is negative. I don't give it out just because I disagree with someone, like I used to do, but rather when someone is unfairly attacking another user. There are, of course, other times when I'll neg rep someone, but I can't even remember the last time I did it.

It also helps me to have a list going in there.

There's nothing wrong with getting to know each other. We share our faces, our children, our pets, our hobbies, some of our problems, what we're doing from day to day, etc . . . I'm not sure why that bothers you. If you'd rather not know any of us any better than what we think of movies, that's fine, but it shouldn't bother you any that we do.

I was thinking of that too. I can't remember the last time I gave someone neg rep. I guess I'd rather give positive rep and ignore opinions that I consider different than my own.
However, the way some of you have been so insensitive about the passing of Michael Jackson, I'm encouraged to rethink my philosophy. Maybe rethink some of my MoFos...
For the longest time, I didn't even know I was getting or how to give reps until someone clued me in--I don't know much about the ins and outs of forums other than just posting messages. I don't often remember to check notifications and am not good at responding to private messages, just a klutz when it comes to computers. But it seems to me that punching thumbs up or down on someone's message doesn't tell the original writer much--someone agrees or likes what you said, but why? Someone disagrees, dislikes what you said, or just got up on the wrong side of the bed that day, and still you don't know why. Guess it serves some minor purpose but it's a far cry from a public exchange of ideas and opinions in the forum.
No, but thanks for the compliment. ;)

+15, and why do some members get little or no rep?
Some of the Movie Reviews are outstanding, time consuming.
+3 or less?
Ah, maybe a simple solution could be having reps in less movie-related sections being worth 'half'? That lets everyone do all the community-building that's another important bit of Mofo, but keeps the emphasis on the flicks :)
(I'll leave Yods to work through the headache of how 'halves' would work in practice ;))
People like pictures. :D
In all seriousness, you're right, reviews should be at least matching that total. But I don't mind that the pictures get rep; the way I see it, people here put a special value on sharing yourself. Thus, long stories about your life, wedding, personal experiences, etc, like pictures, are considered to be part of a group bonding that makes the more substantive posts more interesting.
I definitely see where you're coming from, though. I've worked pretty hard over the last couple of years to put more and more emphasis on user reviews, from giving them their own section on the Reviews page, to putting them on special individual pages therein. I mentioned this in another thread, but giving them even more exposure is the next significant project in line for the site. They'll be highlighted and emphasized more as time goes on, because I do think they're among the most important things here.

There should be social reputation and film reputation, i.e. misc chat, site stuff and bday/intros should be graded on a different scale to movie related comments but i interpret reputation to correspond to movie knowledge more that anything else.

I completely agree Loner. It's partly a popularity contest that's why. People who rep lots of users all the time, and have been here longer, invariably receive more rep back themselves. That doesn't mean to say those very same people don't make a worthwhile contribution to the site (in many cases they do)...but still...posters who aren't as prolific or well known often don't get as much rep for great posts as they maybe deserve. I think the lines between MoFo as a film appreciation site and a social networking site have become ever more blurred recently. Ultimately though it's down to the individual how they use the site, at least the flexibility's there.
Personally I'm for doing away with the reputation system all together. But I'd be lying if I said I don't like receiving rep; it's addictive and keeps people hooked on the site, which is why it'll never go anywhere. I just think there could be something better in it's place (or additionally), like an annual MoFo Oscars ceremony for the best reviews/posts etc; just a thought.
The bottom line is that I love the site. It's head and shoulders above all the other film forums on the net in my opinion. So the farcical rep system is a more of minor irritant than anything else:)
The problem I have is the amount of rep given for these posts.
+15, and why do some members get little or no rep?
You'd have to ask the one's that give it out. Personally, people either like me or they don't, but I don't do anything to try to get them to. As in, I am who I am. I don't bullsh!t people. I'm not into popularity contests. I never have been.
Yes, I've received pretty much a record high amount of rep for my photo. I'd like to think that it's because they liked the joke concerning the final photo, and my need for moisturizer. I don't truly know why I received that much, though. Maybe because it took me over three years to finally post it. It'll probably be another decade before I post anymore.

It only takes a second to look at a picture and click a thumbs up or even down... as the case may be. Reviews are a little more time consuming... I try to rep every review I read... the key word here being read... because I haven't gotten around to all of them yet and I am sure the same can be said for some of the other MoFos...

I have 35 negative rep points... one was just given to me yesterday by Rufnek for merely mentioning that I was experimenting with smoking recently. I'm not sure if I should be grateful for the neg rep or not.
Funny thing is the rep system here is the best moderator, and draw to this site. I got alot of rep points for my nature & film pictures but Im also getting a healthy clip of thumbs up for my posts now. Did I feel my rep was cheaper for my pics being the reason? Just a little, but I shouldnt have. Someones never going to be as articulate as many here, but could bring that charge to their posts anyway.
Im sure the lifeblood of this place could be the reviews not that Ive read any. Seriously when I went to the review section there were so many damn reviews I gave up at the gate. Probably the only reviews Id read on here would be Yodas (insight), Holden Pikes (passionate), and Sexy Celebrity (funny).
IMO the review section should exist but there should be a link from whenever a reviewer posts. Example - Yoda posts in the Forrest AIDs thread, someone likes what he wrote, sees the reviewer button/label thingy near his name, and youre transported to his latest reviews. Otherwise the review section is the mall during christmas season.
Final note. The future Fantasy Football threads should have all repping disabled. It will be obvious why when my team runs rampant on y'all.

Oh lord. I can't help but think that, despite my nice words about MJ, I might be one of the MoFos included. I mean, I am using an avatar of a gimp and saying it's Michael Jackson's former gimp. (Hey, I didn't make it Quentin Tarantino week the week that Michael Jackson died. Whatever comes out of my creativity comes.)
I'm often getting hit with negative rep for making some comment about a recently deceased celebrity, such as David Carradine. I don't know what to say except that humor is how I deal with grief. You should listen to me when my own relatives die.

No, not you Sexy. I just got a little agitated when someone posted that MJ's passing is just like Elvis Presley's, then someone responded with "take that back--it's not the same!"(or something to that effect). It's exactly the same!
No matter what you think of MJ, he did the same if not more for the music industry than Elvis and probably more. And listen they both had their personal problems, and dare I say both entered "freak show" status.
It just seemed so insensitive, and I have to wonder why would people take that stance. I'm probably old and grumpy.

Thank you TONGO. I get it.
I should remind you that Pricilla was only 14 and Elvis 24, when they started their romantic relationship. Is that odd to you? Or do you approve of a 14 year old girl sleeping with a 24 year old man? But, when he died nobody brought that up.
All I'm saying is that MJ was no saint, but he did influence the music industry and some people are being very insensitive to his death. That's all.

Excuse my ugly inner tattle tale ("Donna"), but I was the one who said that MJ is like Elvis Presley, and Destiny! (:eek::eek::eek::eek:) was the one who said "Take that back!". But it was all done in the MoFo Shoutbox on the day Michael Jackson actually died.
Thank you TONGO. I get it.
I should remind you that Pricilla was only 14 and Elvis 24, when they started their romantic relationship. Is that odd to you? Or do you approve of a 14 year old girl sleeping with a 24 year old man? But, when he died nobody brought that up.
All I'm saying is that MJ was no saint, but he did influence the music industry and some people are being very insensitive to his death. That's all.
No I dont approve, but it does pale in comparison to MJ. Jerry Lee Lewis married an underage cousin. Maybe its my hypocrisy or just what I can stomach Idk.
Oh yeah . . . It was me . . . and how is it the same? How everyone is feeling about this death, is nowhere near the same as how everyone felt about Elvis' death. For starters, you didn't have fusses about it, because of the guilty/not guilty child molestation thing.
So unless you all are talking about something else, it's not the same.

Well Destiny (OMG I Love you!) Elvis is Guilty of sex with a child. Sorry. I love you, did I say that already? The difference is that Elvis is guilty with having sex with a child, whereas MJ may be innocent ( I do have my opinion tho).

Anyway, back on topic...
I think its pretty hysterical how many folks are beginning to actually complain about receiving positive rep. What's that all about really? Buncha negative nelly's...

I think it's so funny that Michael Jackson is starting to infiltrate threads totally unrelated to him!

I think that was my fault.
Back on topic: is it fair that a new member who may or may not stick around for more than a few days can give neg rep?
You know what's funny? If you check the post ratings for the day the top five are all for posts in the "Movie Theme of the Week" thread. Pick an avatar, get rep.
Not me. I handed them out when people joined in on my theme week, but I normally/usually don't rep for those posts, so I normally don't receive any either. I do receive them for making avatars, though.

I'm not complaining, but there are times when I wish I received replies, instead of rep. If it's a good enough thread to rep, then why not add a reply to it!?!
p.s. Where is this other chat at? The one on Michael.
I just found the thread, and I despise debates like that. I don't want to start dissecting his life, all that did/didn't/maybe happened, or anything else. I do however want to defend myself, so since this is where the posts were made to and about me, this is where I'm replying . . .
I think that was my fault.
Yep, and I've got to say that I don't appreciate how you are being with this. If you had a problem with what I said a few days ago in the shout-box, then you should have addressed it then and there, instead of making this remark about me here . . .
I guess I'd rather give positive rep and ignore opinions that I consider different than my own.
However, the way some of you have been so insensitive about the passing of Michael Jackson, I'm encouraged to rethink my philosophy. Maybe rethink some of my MoFos...
Anyway . . .

No matter what you think of MJ, he did the same if not more for the music industry than Elvis and probably more. And listen they both had their personal problems, and dare I say both entered "freak show" status.
I never even mentioned their careers. I haven't said one word about it. I make one comment, that to me is pretty obvious, and suddenly my personality/morals need to be questioned/rethought upon. As far as the other topic goes, why don't you ask Priscilla and some of those little boys if it's exactly the same thing, and see what they say? Why are you defending something you know nothing about? Are you saying that you know what that affair/marriage did to her? That you know what those boys are feeling/going through? All you are doing is proving what I said to be true. I said that their deaths are nothing alike, and they're not. You agreed when you said that no one cared to bring up Elvis' affair with Priscilla. None of us know what happened in either situation, because we were not there, but they are not exactly the same. That would be impossible. One ended in a marriage, a child, a divorce, and she's pretty damn famous. The other ended in criminal charges, investigations, a jury, etc . . . How is that exactly the same?
As I said in the shout-box, I'm not an Elvis fan, either. I'm not defending anyone here but myself, and the fact that these situations/deaths are not the same.
whereas MJ may be innocent ( I do have my opinion tho).
If it's that you "think" he is guilty, then I'm even more-so insulted. You can rethink who I am all you want. You never knew me to begin with.
If you have any replies to this, then quote them in the appropriate thread.

I'll leave rep a lot of the time without saying anything... sometimes out of pure laziness but most of the time it's because I'm just too tired to say anything... but still want to acknowledge their post...

Yeah, that makes sense. I do that with reviews. I hate reading anything at all about a movie I've never seen. If it still appears to be a nice review, I'll rep it. I've even repped nicely written reviews where they hated the movie I loved, or they loved the movie I hated. My problem is, I rarely ever go into that thread, so it takes me awhile to catch up on them. I randomly go in there, and do pages at a time.

..er...sorry. Boy, I'm going to get myself into trouble here: my only opinion on your comment in the shoutbox was based on why you thought Elvis' death was different than MJ's.
and honestly I wasn't attacking you, because I really didn't remember who made the comment. But as you pointed out, and I apologized for, this is not the thread in which to discuss this.

Yes, but you didn't know why I thought that. I never said why. So, before you post that you're rethinking who I am as a person . . . ask me why.
OK, let's get back to some Bad Reputation. I'll snag Toose's post . . .

Maybe you should explain why before you ask for someone to take something back that makes perfect sense in relation to the nature of the conversation.

Personally I'm for doing away with the reputation system all together. But I'd be lying if I said I don't like receiving rep; it's addictive and keeps people hooked on the site, which is why it'll never go anywhere. I just think there could be something better in it's place (or additionally), like an annual MoFo Oscars ceremony for the best reviews/posts etc; just a thought.
I would like to have an annual MoFo awards ceremony too.

Your idea, Best Reviews and so on.

I am trying so hard not to rep that Sexy ;)

Do you really want to keep stretching this out? It was a shout in the shout-box from days ago. I never once insulted him, and I did that out of respect for the member's here. Those members who may still like him. If you had an issue with it then, you should have asked me about it then and there, period. I assumed it was pretty cut and dry, and didn't need an explanation. Their deaths were not the same. That was it, and it did not deserve you saying that you need to rethink who I am.
I'm not sure what your problem is on quoting this . . . this that you got started . . . and placing it in the proper thread, but I'm not asking you again.
I'm done!

From past experience L awards can still put people's noses out of joint a little, even though they are kinda fun too. (Yoda beating me in the 'best debator' category last time was clearly a fix tho ;))
I like some of the topics there incidentally. Don't think we had rookie, 'most improved' or 'best reviews' ones before.
A thread for awards has been started 2-3 times in the past year. It keeps getting put in the mod section, and the idea passed on. If you all are really wanting one, maybe start a thread, take votes, ideas, etc . . . and see how it goes. I dunno!

That wasn't a threat. This isn't the proper thread. So since you won't stop placing this in someone else's thread, I'm moving them all to it now.
Give me a few minutes, and hope I don't **** up.

...and then you go onto making 2 or 3 posts more in the MoFo Bad Rep thread when I moved my response to the Michael Jackson Is Dead! thread.
Sorry had to edit my response. I spazzed.
