You really have to be some kind of idiot to not know who's been having fun with the shitty and pointless reputation system.

Where is this rep number or has it been removed already?

Go to a user's page, it will show you there.

How dare you accuse me. Since the start of all this bollocks, I've been saying how stupid it was to a) abuse the reputation system and b ) get worked up about it. Yes I know who is abusing the reputation system, and yes I have given them my opinion on the subject.

Do your homework before you start accusing people

Aw, someone's bitter. I said I wonder if, not accusing you outright. But I also wonder exactly how I'm supposed to "do homework" on who is voting anonymously. Or are you supposed to be such a great guy on here that it's self-evident to everyone that you'd never do something like this? And being the first person to come in and tell everyone to get over it, the people who enjoy this lukewarm sort of popularity contest would never tell people to get over it! Right..?

Really I just don't like your attitude very much, or at least the posts where you're berating people like this. I only noticed the reputation thing yesterday, so I'm sorry for "whining" about it for a month - I guess if I got a life like you suggested I would have noticed much sooner, eh?

A & B from Nova's post are accurate if you look over the forums


The rest of your post (Exo) was just a pointless personal attack.

 

[Exophase]

Okay, I'll bite - since I'm so oblivious/not paying attention, who is responsible for the rep abuse?

Kind of funny what passes for personal attack. Okay Nova, I'm sorry I said I don't like your posts where you come off as berating other people to me. If you want me to explain what posts of you came off to me as being berating (aside from the one on the first page of this forum, of course) then I guess it'd be better if that moved to PM.

DaClassicGamingMaster did it.

I'm not getting involved any further, there really is no need for the exchange of PMs, if you find my posts offensive, that's fine. My point was that there is no need to get so worked up, it's just an Internet forum at the end of the day. The fact that a random person from China, Belgium, Texas or wherever assigned you a negative vote, or some small group of scriptkiddies assign you 100 of them has no reflection on you as a person. Drink a beer, smoke a joint, read a book. Just chill, mis amigos, it's all good in the hood.

I cannot take sole responsibility for it, because you see, I have no coding knowledge.

But yes, I had a bit more fun with it than others. I hope no one contemplated suicide because of my actions.

Aha, no suicide over here, I'm pretty sure Xian is safe too.

And I only said you as you did act a bit more like a dick over it.

I'm mostly just interested in what your motivation is. I hope that I can ask questions like this while still conveying that I'm curious and not pissed off. Did you attack people you dislike? Did you want to upset others? Was it random? Were you looking for a reaction?

I'm always interested in exactly what drives a lot of the trolling (or whatever you'd prefer to call this) on the internet. Which I suppose to many people is like questioning the basic forces of nature, but I can't seem to help it.

So you just went scouring the boards clicking on that negative reputation box constantly :blink:

To me that seems like it is much more work than it is worth.

No, I was the one that did that.

Rico coded a program to do it.

That makes it extra useless of a "feature". You don't even have to give someone a bad reputation the hard way, you just code a bot to do it.

gp32x went down the drain deal w/ it and move on

 

[finty]

 

[daclassicgamingmaster]

Yeah, I used a script that Rico created. Why on earth would I waste time doing it manually? Only Naw would do something like that.

I targeted people that pissed me off, yes. Also people who I knew would totally flip out- like Naw (and man did we get a great reaction from him).

But look how popular I am now!

so, to summarize, dcgm took advantage of a broken system against people he didn't like. the end.

Exactly, it's a terrible system and dcgm pointed this out by having a bit of fun with it. I dont particularly think it was the best idea ever, or even indeed a good one, but it's done the forums no harm, hopefully none of you guys who were affected are too upset about it and I personally know of one other person who is abusing the system in a much more substantial way. (wonder why most threads are full of -1s?)

awww, and now it's gone. Nice going guys.
