I find the rep and groan system pretty weird here.
I was recently banned for using it too much. I've hardly groaned anyone recently and there are already controls in place to stop too much rep being given (positive or negative)

Most people are positive and fun. | | | | | Context, my dear, context.
Selective quoting of posts removes the context and is not clever.
You’re comparing apples to oranges there as those two comments related to totally different things.

That, or serial and unreasonable groaning.

| | Re: reputation and stars | Quote: | |  | | | That, or serial and unreasonable groaning. | | | | | Tom Ticino was never banned though....neither many other ("popular") characters who crossed the line many a time here.
IMO, even if now all these bans seem aleatory, there is no doubt the said characters deserve it. On a proper forum, at least a couple of people here would have been permanently banned a long time ago. There is a lot of tolerance here, but not the right kind of tolerance...

| | Re: reputation and stars | Quote: | |  | | | Tom Ticino was never banned though.... | | | | | Is there a way for a mod, and for a non-mod, to look up who was banned and when? Or the current list of banned users, and until when they are banned?

Not condoning it or anything but it’s a public forum with a spectrum of opinions. ‘Rubbish post’, while not particularly helpful isn’t nasty or insulting. I think I’d laugh
Personally, I love the rep comments from people who are off their tits with anger and are unable to mask how petty they are. A whole paragraph of righteous indignation. Doesn’t happen often, but when it does - bingo - comedy gold!

I don't always agree with him but I think he adds a dimension and depth to discussions, and shows there are other ways of looking at the issue, which is why I enjoy reading him. People who have a problem with that need to be looking at themselves, not at him.
Which doesn't mean to say he couldn't express himself a tad more diplomatically at times. But couldn't we all ?

I prefer constructive like telling the person that their post was awful.
Sometimes I just leave a .

Red reps shouldn't need any explanation and if you need one a polite PM could be sent (and probably ignored)
