    How about another feature where you can see who you've actually given all your karma too. I've such a goldfish memory that i forget pretty quickly. I'm always reaching the too much Karma given out in 24hrs and then i see another post that would have been so much more worthy....I'm pretty sure it possible to hack it into the vB...

    At least I can boast getting negative rep from Cloud. But then again, I was very naughty.

    Wow, I never thought of that - people signing other peoples' names? Should have thought of that BEFORE this new feature, that would have been much fun! Just think of the possibilities for pure evil....

    Does my Karma count? (general) : 10 (You must have more then 10 Karma points before your Karma hits count on others)

    Is this where the grey apples come from - typo-negatives ineffectively giving rep?

    Ya I got a negative rep from Mr Melody who said he never reads my posts because I'm on his ignore.

    Plus he gave it to me for saying
    I doubt it 3 million would be out of Villa's range, but I would love if he did come.
    :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

    Ps Thanks Redleslie for your very kind positive reps :D

    Anyway my point is, your going to have low level rep people afraid to comment on high level people because any tit-for-tat is going to do more damage to them.

    .

    Just continue on this thought for a while...is there anyway to highlight the reputation strength a user has. I know there is a list of rules but that takes ages to figure out. Be great to see that, say, Hobbes can give/take away 22 or an admin can give/take away 50 or that i can give diddly squat!! :D

    This is BRILLIANT!!!

    I can now see that the person who went all the way back to a thread from the end of august on sunday with the relevant and telling comment "have some back" (BEWARE: Explicitly sexual and political content and LOTS OF designer ultraviolence http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=1880783#post1880783 ) was EXACTLY who I thought it was...

    *chuckles*

    I am not going to identify this person, even by gender, or by quoting some of the biting comments this person has made about people who abuse the reputation points system for spite...

    I am not even going to make too much of the fact that this person is NOT a de facto aquaintance and we do not even post in the same forums ever.

    No...I am too busy starting out on my WHOLE NEW career as a psychic...

    :D

    Please PM for readings.

    And here is a free prediction:

    Even though it is great to see who has been childish and spiteful in the past, and which friends and other workarounds they are going to use to be childish and spiteful in the future, I see the whole reputation points system as being of no real use to anyone except the bullying element on boards and the other bullying element in each of us.

    The only people who ever have, or ever will get rep points off me are people who deserve positive ones, but that's not because I am a saint, it's more because I AM A REBEL!
    :D
    G
    PS. Can we please have more smilies? Particularly an "evil grin"? I have lately been accused of being grumpy on boards, but that is NOT MY FAULT if there are NO APPROPRIATE smilies, now is it?

    Was it me?? It sounds like some negative rep I gave out a while ago, although I've never seen that thread before until now.

    /me waves at SantaHoe. I was wondering who that was...
    Hmm deary me... was that a negetive rep spree I was on last night?!
    Nice timing cloud... really.
    Sorry koneko, I'm sure I've given you good rep before a few times aswell.
    Like Hobbes says, it's a game, and I was playing it, nothing personal... or at least it was a game, now it's just going to be tit-for-tat crap where I'm sure flame wars will start in rep-comments and PM's.

    Instead of PosterX moaning that he can't see who's neg-repping him... there will be posts of:
    "FAO: UserBlah - WHY DID YOU GIVE ME BAD REP?? WHAT DID I DO??? OH YEAH?? WELL I THINK YOU'RE WRONG!!! THIS MEANS WAR!!!"

    This is bollocks tbh, you might aswell turn it off now... no point.

    Peeps like Merc_Tilt, although plump with karma, will have no affect on you because his post count is set to "0".

    AH NO...you NOT get me like THAT...

    I have made my mind up not to identify this individual by gender, quotation OR whether it is Dr Loon or not...

    ...and when I make up my mind...
