I've just recieved my first rep, :clap: complete with cheeky comment!
However, I can't seem to see the name of who was so kind to send me them (though I think I have a fair idea!)

I'd like to thank them with my own suitably cheeky comment, so how can I find out who sent it?

Apologies if this question has been asked oodles of times before!

I have just received my first too but it stated in the comment, who it was.

On another forum which this forum software you get to find out if you subscribe. I don't know if that is the case here yet. I have only been here 24 hours or so!

To identify the sender, you need to become a silver member or an investigative journalist.

I always sign rep, if its someone who has silver membership (name is in bold) I probably just sign it L, but if a regular member I put my name so they know who its from.

(Oh, and nice way to get lots more rep!)

Thanks Lynn! You're actually considerate to people on the forum - unlike some others!! He He. :D I'll get to the bottom of it.
And I'll send you some rep when I work out how to do it!!:flower:

I think for me it would show 4:4 where it normally says Rep Power:4 but no change to rep (and no change to rep power, it just changes how its displayed). To view the rep effect just refresh the screen. I have no idea why it does this!

Rep "punching" power is increased in some areas, this being an incentive to post in those areas.

Hey, I’m glad I started this thread!!
Yesterday I had the obligatory 10 rep points and all of a sudden I’ve gone up to 56!!
I like this!


Thanks to everyone for their rep and comments. :flower: Rep going back to you all – apart from one, obviously!


Now 46. So someone has neg repped her. What on earth for? I hope they signed it!

Apparently “rep is boring”! :eek:

But now I’ve upgraded to Silver I know who you are!! :D

Thanks Beo and Spiky Steve :hug: for countering –ve rep from that sad, lonley individual.

Cheeky comment on its way S38!!

By the way, before anyone else gets offended (and not referring to DS, I hasten to add!) this is all just a bit of fun! Not to be taken seriously!!

Hey, it's Friday with dancin to be had at the weekend!

Keep smiling!

Not to be taken seriously!! Best way to view rep. :D Its the comments that matter to me, the fact that someone clicks on the button and gives a comment on my post - that's what I like, it doesn't matter whether its worth 1 rep point or 10.

The 'rep is boring' comment is bizzare, if someone thinks that why bother to read this thread? And then to use neg rep as a way to comment on thinking rep is boring... :rolleyes:

Its called irony :) - as you say, the "best way view rep " is to not take it seriously. Ironic that you criticise the use of rep when you're not talking it seriously, unless you too are being ironic ;)

Its just a shame that I'm not wearing a shirt today, all this irony would be doing it a world of good. Dress down Fridays - I'm wearing a leotard :)

As others have said "A traffic jam when you're already late" is not ironic, its bad planning :)

Ironic that you criticise the use of rep when you're not talking it seriously, unless you too are being ironic ;) I did wonder if it was irony - it would have worked perfectly as irony if it was positive rep saying 'rep is boring'. ;)

And Shea is new to the rep thing, it would be nice to let her have a few days of getting rep before applying the neg rep.

(That leotard is very fetching on you!)

:yeah: DS's rep was amusing but I got another neg rep comment from someone else who in my opinion seemed to take it all a tad seriously. But I better stop now before I get my wrists slapped again for complaining!! (that was a joke! Phew, this forum's hard work!) :grin:

but the conversation was all about the positive aspect of rep, so neg made it extra ironic, not signing it - even more so :)

What, and make her think the forum is some luvy duvy place of positivism ? nah. Sooner or later she'll stumble into a Barry thread ;)



Who would want to neg rep you??? you are fab xx

Neg rep does not affect; job prospects, ability to win a Nobel Prize, your chances of signing for Man Utd or your fab ratio. No really!

There is occasional an element of that glimpsed on here...

Is there a way of seeing rep from a few months back? Someone left me a very interesting rep comment and now I'm a silver member I can't find out who left it because it was months and months ago when it was sent! :tears:

I believe if you ignore everyone who recently sent you rep you may be able to backtrack.
Alternatively, you can click the scales next to the post you made that was repped.

Sorry too busy to read the manual.

After a really busy time at work I have finally had the time to investigate.

This not actually answered in the FAQ. Although it has been answered in a thread about rep.

Silver membership allows you to see who has sent negative rep as well positive rep.

Would you like to know what spineless person threw a stone through your window. In the case of a window you will probably never know and you have to fix your window yourself.

You can negate the extra insult of anonymity of neg rep by getting silver membership starting from £6 for three months and takes seconds with pay pal.

Definately worth the money in my opinion.

I think there might be a couple of ways...

If you know what post generated the rep, click the rep icon on that post and you will maybe be shown it.

Otherwise, PM a moderator with details, and if they've got the time they might take the trouble to digging through to find it.

Blimey, let's get a bit of perspective here, huh?

It's a comment saying that someone disagrees / disapproves of a post, that's all. It's not like someone assaulting you or something.

Although, that said, personally abusive comments on reps / PMs, if reported, will be treated in the same way as publicly-posted abusive comments. This forum is not a flame-zone.

I hate to admit it, but the "can see who sent rep" feature seems to be one of the biggest selling points of Silver Membership...

Thanks David.

It's the not knowing who gave the neg rep. It feels underhand and the FAQ implies this is done to cause offence. You get a few neg reps and you imagine all the different people that don't like what you have to say or the fact that people are generally being forum hotshots and unhelpful.

When you know you can realise it's just one or two people and suddenly the rest of the community becomes a lot more friendly.

Yes rep is nothing physical. If I were to walk up to you and make a rude gester or swear at you again that's nothing physical, but matters of the mind can be tricky. Something can happen one day and you laugh another day it invokes a different reaction.

All that said, I had gone off posting due to neg rep the major thing being it cannot be debated without attracting more neg rep. Now I am happy. I can deal with any feedback be it negative or positive. I just mean a simple PM to gain clarity for example.

I am so happy today that I cannot rep again until tomorrow.

The great thing about the current system is that it allows you to be happy in knowing who is sending you rep, and it allows me to be happy in not knowing the same thing.

Happiness for all!

For me I happy with people who encourage and are helpful and who emphasise before criticising. People who give out as much positive vibes and feedback as they give out negative.

For me I can ignore the people who are only ever negative toward me. For me their feedback becomes worthless and invalid.

Does it :what: ? Ooops - I can't even blame Gadget for that, either, I wrote all that myself I believe... :blush:

Hmmm, re-reading it, it says:

Also, please be aware that if your comment is unsigned, an unsubscribed member will not know who the comment is from – and this anonymity may cause (more) upset to the recipient.
It certainly wasn't my intention to say "Don't sign it if you want to cause extra annoyance" - my intention was to say "Please sign all your reps". Perhaps I should just have said that...


You get a few neg reps and you imagine all the different people that don't like what you have to say or the fact that people are generally being forum hotshots and unhelpful.
They're not meant that way - or they shouldn't be. They should be meant as expressions of disapproval of a post, that's all - in the same way that +ve reps are expressing approval of a post, not of a person.

Although, funnily enough, no one ever complains about +ve rep.

And I suspect you'll find that criticizing MH about his -ve repping habits is water off a duck's back, he's even got a large thread devoted to it (http://www.cerocscotland.com/forum/chit-chat/6705-negative-rep-martin-h.html)... :rofl:
