And, on any other forum, it would also be admin/mod's right to punish problematic and abusive use of that rep power.

Mkays if you're going to tell fibs then make sure they're good ones. Here I'll post 2 copies for you so you can believe it.




2008 USA Presidential... 01-02-2008 11:29 AM tessa_s212 shut up already.. at least his posts are relevant

Btw Tessa where's the name where you quite clearly told me in your last post on this rep?

About a month ago the head admin took rep off us all. Does that answer your question.

Ah, yes. Now I remember. I still, however, did not tell any "fib". I stated that I do not abuse the rep system, and I don't. I should have said that more politely(for which I apologize for not doing), however the negative rep was still deserved and fairly given considering the behavior shown on the thread.

As for the last comment, english please? What name and what are you talking about?

"Now you remember". You've been owned.
What you give is what you get back. Deal with it.

As I've stated. I'm not so childish to act this way to abuse the rep system. I don't abuse it, and I certainly don't make it a point to hold grudges against people. That means if I give you a neg or even pos rep, it is not likely that I'll remember it days later. Why would I, unless of course I'd wish to act childish?

Ah, but I did not give such a rep that was abusing the rep system. You, however, knowingly abused the rep system simply because you could not cope with that perhaps you might have actually deserved such negative reputation. The posts in which you neg repped in no way deserved such reps. One was good, caring advice to a poster in distress, the other was nothing more than a one word post that had no reason to be neg repped. That my friend is largely different than my own neg rep that I deservingly so gave you.

It's seriously not worth it. Don't try, Tessa.

I have nothing further to say since I have you both blocked. You send it first you get it given back. Period.

I'm beginning to learn this. Intellectual capacity and maturity is lacking here on this forum far more than anything I have ever experienced in my time spent on the internet and a multitude of many forums. (And this would be why I tend to stay away from such teen forums - forums intended for adults are much more aligned with my maturity level and ability to behave in a respectful, fair manner even when there are others that disagree with me or anger me.)

I think, if you don't mind me butting in, that most of us live in countries where freedom of speech is actively encouraged. The way that someone expresses this right is up to them. In some cases, there is no right answer, nor is there no wrong answer, therefore the need to debate certain things. I think the point of the rep system is to allow other members to voice their opinions and to say whether they agree or not. I don't think you can abuse the system - everyone uses it as how it was intended to be.

If you believe that you're more mature than everyone else on this forum, that is your opinion, however there is no point in being allowed the right to free speech without expecting that peoples opinions will be different to those views which you have. I am also certain that there are other mature people on here, but who do not voice said opinions so forcefully.

I doubt Sayonara has a problem with you, just that she has different opinions and beliefs to yours, which, as I said, is her right.

You're more than welcome to negative rep me for this, however I am just voicing my opinion.

No, Sayonara does have a problem with her. She has a problem with everyone.

Why in the world would I ever neg rep you for this post? Even if I were to disagree with it, it was stated clearly and respectfully. Such a post, even if I were to disagree with it, would not be deserving of neg rep.

And you were correct. I do disagree. As has been my experience on the number of forums that are largely made up of adults(with the few exceptions of teenagers such as me joining in and able to make a contribution to such forums), there is a correct and incorrect way to use a reputation system, as I have already explained. One of those incorrect ways is to simply go around neg repping people because you have some kind of personal problem with them, which is what sayona did after I neg repped a post of hers that deserved it for reasons of it being rude towards another member and counterproductive towards the thread.

I don't dislike her. I dislike her opinions - quite a lot.
I only dislike 2 people on here which is pretty good for me.
