longbyte1 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 For the first time on this forum, I saw somebody who received negative rep. What?! Last time I saw negative rep was when I was some stupid script kiddie over at the Wiremod forums and I ended up with two red bars. Ouch..So, can moderators hand out negative rep now?

KasperVld Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I'll have to look into it, administrators can give negative rep but it's not something I've ever seen used. The only instance of negative rep I can remember was caused by a bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norpo Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 My personal guess is that someone pressed the wrong button. or an administrator really didn't like someoneSo, I guess the rep button, for administrators, has not only "I approve", but also "I disapprove"?

Ikaneko Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Ted's given it a couple of times.Is there no limit on neg rep power, it actually being your own rep power without the cap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwhip Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Oooh, things look different from the eyes of a moderator. What do all those buttons do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camacha Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I think I saw the same thing. The caption read something along the lines of This guy's score is off the charts, so that might mean it is not a negative score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KasperVld Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Oooh, things look different from the eyes of a moderator. What do all those buttons do?Lets see, I think "Promote to article" and "Blog this post" speak for themselves, then you get the small IP button which shows me which IP address was used to post that message, then you have the reputation 'star' icon and next to that the infraction button. Finally there's the report post button that you all have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dryer_lint Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 You don't necessarily have to be a bad user to get negative rep. You might just be really good... too good...Source: XKCD (Of course...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felsmak Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I have a strange desire to aquire red bars now I wonder if you can collect them, like the green bars. And if you could eventually get orange bars and become an evil version of Red Iron Crown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vexx32 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) I have a strange desire to aquire red bars now I wonder if you can collect them, like the green bars. And if you could eventually get orange bars and become an evil version of Red Iron Crown.Yeah, when I found out someone had been given negative rep, I wanted some red bars... but Kasper wouldn't let me. And nobody is sure if there are the negative version of the light green bars -- nobody's ever had that much negative reputation... heck, it's unlikely anyone ever will. We pretty much never use it. Kaspy seems to think that collecting red bars is indeed possible, however. Edited January 10, 2015 by vexx32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madness!</programmerhumour>Now then, we need a volunteer to annoy the admins enough that they negative-rep all their posts.. Then perhaps, there could be one that could join the Light Red group?

Starwhip Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Actually, if the rep bar system is adjustable, if someone maxes the rep bar they could all go red.Then they would really stand out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vexx32 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 AFAIK, the Squad account(s) have the highest rep. Good luck catching up them, much less exceeding them. But I don't think there is an upper limit, at least one that can be easily reached; people occasionally give rep to the Squad accounts, and y'all can see they aren't red yet.

Commander Jebidiah Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Ted gave negative rep because someone said it was disgusting that we were made to pay again for the EDU mod.And seeing this kind of made me feel that it was a bit unjust especially since negrep is -5 pointsBut don't start the EDU war please.

Ival70 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I have a strange desire to aquire red bars now Zekes, if you want to do that, I could "hold on" to your green bars for you while you try it. One question though, theoretically is it possible to have so much negative rep, that the rep you give other people is negative as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vexx32 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I don't know the answer to that, but I would strongly suspect that it would be restricted to a limit of 1 or 0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
