Forum rep system

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

I have noticed, as well as a few people have messaged me about it, abuse of the rep system.  It is just a simple forum feature for people to have a little reaction to a singular post based on the content of that post, be it positive if it is a beneficial post or if you really like the content, or negative if it is detrimental or you really don't like the content.  Not something to have a personal vendetta against another user to down vote every post of theirs.

Personally, I feel it is ok to have both the positive and negative if the system is not going to abused.  But, if it is going to continue to be abused, I will turn off the negative option and we can move to being like other forums where it has to be a safe place and we can't have any critical thinking.

I have no problems with the rep system.

Like how I haven't even commented on hardly anything in a few days, yet my score went up 30 points to the negative. Lol I get hate for liking anything or saying anything.

Do you think before you speak, or skip a step and vomit words.

Aaron, the bigger question might be how to deal with dipshits.  Using an exception to change a rule is frustrating.  That being said, the negative comments generally don't help although they do give an opportunity to mark a post shit without quoting it.  Hard line to walk.  

I don't care about anyone's score in the rep system at all, but what I do care about is that people respect the board.  When they don't do that they should be escorted out the door permanently.

One option to prevent nonsense (if the board allows it) is to require a minimum 200 posts before you can mark anything negative.

Obviously a rhetorical question.

You do see how those two comments are related right?

*again rhetorical, no need to answer

[Randal Johnson 544]

Sean,  what you need to do is start swinging that trusty ole ban hammer around you've had sitting in the corner for ages. Just saying.

On a serious note, there is a lot of inactive moderators on this site. 

[///M5 2,833]

I've never banned anyone.

*excludes Russian drug sales people and the like

Obviously I should have though...

Why not, just ban everybody that don't agree or are new. To hard to be nice or polite and treat people with respect, so just ban everybody that won't put up with it then you 8 guys can get back to using the ssa forum as a text messenger.

Yes I know a gander is a female, obviously I was calling you a little bitch lol. I figured you guys would be sharp enough to figure that out without me having to explain. 

[Randal Johnson 544]

The goal is to help and be informative, not to be sarcastic with every post. To help everyone that post here, questions have to be asked to help with goals before suggestions can be given.

I will say the  mods here do this well. Trust me, I've been on both side of the fence with this forum. 

And I will say that I personally have learned from my mistakes and understand things ALOT better now.

So yes, I so think some good ole fashioned ban hammer swinging is needed on forums at times to keep things informative, fun, and professional.

Again you forgot to read.  Imagine that.  My 7 year old has better reading comprehension than you.

You should try reading, comprehending, THINKING and then typing.

Why not just be polite and friendly instead of just banning everyone who has a different opinion.

Trust me I understand perfectly. Anyone that doesn't kiss your ass, or has a opinion of their own, gets talked down to by you, and a couple of more guys. Arron has no problem being polite, even when someone questions one of his products, he don't get all bent out of shape and start name calling, he just logically explains his position. I respect that and will treat him with respect. But for whatever reason you just can't be nothing but rude. I have read tons of old post on here and your rude to everyone. Hell Tony D'Amore is a engineer and you bit his head off the first time he came on here. So it's not just me who doesn't get along with you. But like I said just ban us all except the few who kiss your ass and problem solved.

If you want to be respected act respectable.  The only thing I don't like is stupidity btw, so stop exemplifying it and guess what will happen.

Tony is a scum bag.  A lie and a cheat.  His engineering skills are weak.

I was nothing but respectful to you when I first came here, and the very first time I didn't agree with you, you began the name calling. I said I liked rear fill, and running passive, and didn't care about proper staging, and you lost your mind and said, ow don't get butt hurt, and do as we say. So no you want show anyone any respect, unless they kiss your ass, and blindly agree with everything you say. And old Tony is doing pretty good for somebody who doesn't know anything. I don't get you guys, you say Steve Meade, and Tony, are cheats and liars, but yet I see vids of Mark on YouTube who owns SSA, visiting Steve and giving him a demo, at his personal garage. You guys even post their dyno results on the forum, so obviously I'm missing something, or you just hate everyone, and everything, except cheap house speakers that are hard to ever get right in a car, you seem to like that.

Yea Steve is a dick, that arseho emailed me the other day to say I was wrong about something on YouTube, then told me to not comment on his vids, then the very next day put out a video saying exactly what I had said. I called him on it and asked why he would say today the impedance thing was right, when he said I got it wrong yesterday. Apparently it's only right if he said it.
