How do I get my reputation points up?

Holden Pike

If members like you and what you have to say, they'll give you positive rep points. They'll accumulate over time.

The best way is not to ask for them though, just let it happen.

Tell ya what. Just speak ya mind, as long as it isn't dirty, cruel, or just plain annoying. And you'll pretty much do find. You will, of course, from time to time run into little snafus and you'll lose points but, don't worry. I always speak my mind and look where I'm at. BTW, welcome to MovieForums!! Where the MoFos play in the idiot's way. :D

Here's some ways to get rep.

1.) Oh Garret, someone just told me your hamster died here you go have a hug. Reason for rep: You were nice.

2.) Tell a joke. Reason for rep: People laugh.

Ways to lose rep.

1.) Well, sure Garret. I'll give ya some $*%@ing rep if you shut the %$&@ up and don't mention that @&*$ing hamster again you !#^$ing whore. ;)

Reason for loss of rep: You're just a mean, old sum-bitch. ;)

I go in Spree's with rep. Suddenly Ill get a few points a few days, then Ill go weeks without any :(. I think its because I'm just some annoying guy that has no real taste in movies :P. Anyone who's favourite movie star is Arnie is hardly going have many people agree with my point of view :P Still I shall persist an continue to annoy Mofo's for many generations to come. You here that people? I'm never leaving! You will never be rid of me! My bad tastes shall plague you forever!...That is offcourse until I'm banned.

Ok bad rep AGAIN for the aove post. It's only taking 2 off me at a time so I'm guessing it's a newbie poster. Plus, they must be giving it to alot of people because you can't give rep out to the same person straight after giving it to them.

If I had a stick I'd throw it.

I found out who gave me the anon rep, Theres a new thing on the User CP which shows you who gave you it, even if they didnt have the guts to put their name down. I wont say who gave me mine, but it was a regular member, who hasnt even posted in this thread and who has never had any gripes with me but for some reason wrote a pretty harsh message with their rep. It was beyond rude and totally uncalled for. Seriously lost repsect for this dude.

I give out lots of positive rep. Not to you, but to other folks. All the time.

I hate threads whining about rep points. Whenever they crop up, I hand out plenty of rep points, to underline that it's a stupid thing to whine about, which nobody gets and just causes more whining. If you guys would stop bringing it up, I'd stop dishining 'em out. Simple, really.


And since you're being very cavalier and claim that you "don't care" about the bad rep, expect more, Johnny McClane!


As you were. :)

I cannot say that I "don't care", but I will say that I do not let it get to me. I rarely try to step on someone's toes, but occasionally I do. I cannot remember if I have ever given out bad rep, I don't think I have. It would take a lot.

Zeiken

I dont mean to sound like a smartass- but its easy to stay away from such threads. I hate John Cusack- so, in turn- you'll never see me hanging out on the 'Better off Dead' or 'High fidelety" threads. Just dont read them.

I understand how you can pity those who whine about such stupid things- but thats all you can do. There may come a day when we all realize what a 'waste of time' this reputation thing is, but until then- just live it up, holden. Dont hold anything on us because you feel pity. In the end- were all going to have built up a lot of regret- regret of lost loves and missed opportunities- but dont let that regret be over things said on the internet. Lifes too short. Lets all stop fighting over this and move on already.

No it isn't. If these rep points are so all-blasted important, wouldn't finding out who gave anonymous good rep be just as pressing - and probably a damn sight more interesting and more fruitful, than bad rep?

But it's all equally pointless, that's all I'm saying. To be pissed at one and not elated at the other is even sillier than caring either way to being with.

You said "shut the f***k up". That's not criticism or a reason to bad rep someone by any means, it's just harsh.

I was probably running out of pithy things to leave as rep at that point. Or in a hurry. Or drunk. I don't really remember, it must have been weeks ago now. Besides, you're missing my larger point: there's no such thing as a post "good enough" or "bad enough" to warrant rep points. They're silly, and when members start taking them seriously and publicly whining, I start piling them on.

In any event, I'll stand by my "shut the fu*k up". In fact....

Yeah it would, but as those people choose not to put their names, thats their choice. And i dont think anyone has ever been given positive or neg rep four times in 5 minutes from the same person. However the thing that makes this incident totally different is that you got caught out.

I'm just explaining myself to you crybabies, in hopes of this never happening again. But if it does, rest assured, I'll be there, handing out negative rep points. The fact that my name is attached now makes no difference. I never signed my reps, good or bad.

I find negative rep points a joke, positive ones too. So maybe, just maybe, it's YOU that can't take a joke? Tiger.

That what Holden said when he gave me some more bad rep. Seriously just because you might think that the whole rep system is a joke Holden, that does'nt mean you should abuse it and ruin it for other people. I like the rep system, In the end I'm not really fussed as to how many rep points I have but I do find it interesting to see why I was given rep points. Is that such a bad thing? Does posting in a 'How do I get my reputation points up' warrent Bad Rep? Sure your probably right in the end it does'nt really matter but for some people it does and you should respect that. You also should cheer up a little and stop treating those who you consider less knowledgable than yourself a bit better. Just in another thread you shot down SamsoniteDelila because she was inetrested in your thoughts over Casablanca. You need to stop being a grump and start respecting some of your fellow Mofo's a little more.

People complaining and whining about negative reputation, lighten up. This is an internet forum, who cares about ti anyway.

My view on this rep system: Peoples rep levels raise so quickly cause the same people keep repping the same people, and the more rep you gain, the more your rep giving power increases, so the amount of rep received by mutual rep exchangers grow exponentially. The people complaining about negative reputation sound like people who complain about their post count getting depleted after a board resync, point is, "What is the big deal?" It's not like these little green bars are going to buy the weekly food supplies or anything.

Here is my take on this, and I am only guessing. A lot of people who tend to spend a decent amount of time on the internet treat it as any "real" place. Such as work, parties, movies, etc... We are sharing our thoughts and when we get into a argument or disagreement with someone we usually defend ourselves. I was in the military and I know the importance of recognition. Morale can be an extremly emotional thing, and when those of a community fail to respect one another emotions can and do fly. Some think this is ammusing: to see poeople get upset over such things, and I say that those who are getting upset are not disgruntled because of the amount of rep points they have, but instead because they feel that they were disrespected. I am probably wrong though...;)

No, I'd say you hit the nail right on the head.

And another thing, you can't really say that rep is stupid and pointless. Good rep encourages people to continue posting because their message was in some way significant to someone.

I understand where you are coming from, but if truth be told, a favourable reply in response to a topic/comment made or a private message says a thousand words more than a few rep points. New members on forum boards will generally make around 1-30 posts before deciding whether or not he/she will stay and continue posting, depending on the feel of the community and the type of topics discussed more than the reception they are given.

Without the reputation system, people would make silly hopes. At least its some kind of reward. So I agree with you. you hit the nail on the head.

Seriously, what is so incredible about this number on your user control panel on this internet forum that gets people so angry when it is reduced?


I think you make some good points about keeping the rep thing in perspective, but it does have a very stabilizing effect on people's behaviour. When I first read of the system, I thought "ew - totally lame", but having seen the contrast between here and how people often treat each other when there are NO repercussions, it does make a positive difference. That said, you're right: it don't pay the rent!

Via that path, why not just remove the ability to give negative reputation altogether? God forbid anyone disagree with you, after all. Then, everyone can be happy together. ;)

I think you missed my point there, sweets. The value I see in the system is that it removes some of the anonymity of posting here, because if you go off on someone, there can be repercussions. Places with no rep system tend to have a LOT more flaming and much less actual discussion.

Second try: (Gain by laughter) Knock, knock. Whose there? Your transvestite mother Steve! :goof:

Third: (Outright begging) Please, kind people of this forum, may I have your respect and admiration handed to me on a small, green, gif, picture platter? :bashful:

I think you missed mine, when you post something, no matter what it is, be respectful, insightful, original, but most of all just be yourself.

Negative rep points are needed just as much as positive points i think. Becaus then people can give u a negative point saying they think it was wrong to say whatever it is that you said that upset them. They can disagree with you and then you can talk about it, but they should be used when someone is upset or offended by a post you made. It's not about disagreement.

I think if you don't tell the person you're bad repping why you're giving it to them, then there's no point. Not to make a hoo ha out of it but i received a negative rep from Equilibrium saying 'me no like you', and i'd never even spoken to him before and i didn't know what i had done.

And you didn't demand an apology?

i didnt demand an apology because i thought it was pathetic, theres not a lot of point trying to appeal to someone who's being childish. Just like i didn't demand one from you holden when you were being pathetic.

I guess reputation is a good thing but look at me! Tell ya the truth, I could care less about reputation because there's a lot of people that will always disagree with you on subjects you/you can feel strong about. It doesn't bother me because I'm not a dim wit, I just get into arguments. As long as I know that where I stand on movies or actors or politics or whatever is from the heart and with reason, I could care less about reputation.
However, that's not to say you should'nt be nice to people here because most the people on the board are pretty nice. I guess you can say i learned the hard way through arguments. It's okay though because I don't argue that much here anymore anyway because it really can't be done effectivley and isn't worth it to the guests of this forum. The guests could care less about the member's opinion. Most of them are just looking for the latest news on their favorite movies. It really screws up a thread when half of it is an argument going back and forth that nobody cares to read about except the two guys arguing. Totally senseless.
The best advice I can give ya is know what you're talking about when you post something and don't get angry about other people's opinions because there sure are a lot, and a lot of dumb ones too but meh, you'll always be you and that's one thing you can count on!

the thing is, that some users have so friggin much, that they can just shrug off a small loss, but others are fighting for every point, and when someone gives u bad rep just cause they disagree with you, then it's devastating to your rep

and the only way he has to come back, since he has no argument and in life probably is cheated on by his wife or boyfriend and shouted at by his boss at work, and is jealous that others speak more than one language and he's too old and ashamed of his age to start anything interesting with his life etc etc... is to distribute bad rep.
