Wings of fire, I know you're only trying to help, but this is online, not offline, it's a completly different world, we wouldn't act like this in real life becuase you can get away with things alot more and there's no direct contact or communications so to speak.

Don't patronise me.
I'm beginning to sound like a broken record here, if you're so worried about your rep then for the love of God get this into your skull. You are sitting on a computer, he/she is sitting on another computer, they read your comment and judge you as reputable or not by how valid your argument is so don't think the online/offline thing protects you from losing rep if you say something others find offensive. Yes there will be differing views and yes the whole rep giving thing is entirely subjective but if you can't back up your argument (As you couldn't, your reasons for ethnic cleansing being quite trite) you WILL lose reputation in the eyes of that collection of pixels who live half the world away.
For the record I pride myself as being an extremely honest person and act exactly the same online as I do offline.

The reason older members get rep more easily is becuase they're either famous/ infamous, well known,

This is exactly the point I made. Please be sure to fully read the post before responding.

or people are afraid of loosing them, our numbers are down enough already

This is stupid.
I can't think there is anyone immature enough to leave these forums (especially the older members) because they have a low number which at the end of the day doesn't mean a thing. To the best of my knowledge we have a moderator who has less than 10 rep and I don't believe he's left yet.

And T-nex, whilst it's not your fualt for suggesting it becuase you could of never forseen this, it's not the end of the world, but it's proving to be the end of some forum members, or at least helping.
|
If a member leaves because of this then it's their loss for being socially neurotic arseholes.

I agree with Carnix, people should be more encouraged to give out good rep points, bad should be for more servere things, otherwise, we're nitpicking each other's posts and we have to make every single one of our posts perfect and agreeing with everyone's oppinion, which is hard no matter what annoyone says.
|
You don't have to agree with everyones opinions, your argument has to be valid enough to deem you as reputable and not contain any
Fallacies of argument.

And as someone, I think it was T-nex said, there's no real guidlines on what to rep people for, but expectations, but could we please get a FAQ or something that tells us specifically what to look out for and avoid? Since it's no longer a question of obbeying or disobbeying the rules.
|
You really do worry way too much about this.

*Edit* Oh and can a mod please check my rep points? I don't want to complain now when I can avoid it, but "Stupid mother fucker" is not a reason to give someone bad rep, an actually, saying that's against the rules isn't it?
|
You don't want to complain yet you do? This is illogical and unlikely to score you any of those points you so desperately crave.
