Negged to Smack?

[Snake]

I don't think that's true... the mods do keep some order, but even they can't be on here and see every single post.

Do like rodeo said and report posts...

Reporting post seem to be useless TBH, Not that its not a good idea but by the time a Mod reads it they more then likely have already deleted the post. Also I never said the Mods didnt keep order its not that, its the fact that we all can do it faster with Neg to smack then they can because they cant see everything all at once. Neg to smack was managed well and I never saw a poster there that didnt belong there. Some Trolls are funny and harmless and they never made it there, but the vulgar and nasty ones always did and very quickly.

It won't be back, as far as I know. It got to the point where any dissenting opinion/posters were neg-repped to Smack when it was uncalled for. You know how the homers roll.

Dimbee has a point... it got to where the posters couldn't be trusted to use neg rep wisely... people were piling on for reasons other than trolling. Negging for a dumb post is one thing... negging when someone just disagrees with you is childish... and it seems that's a common theme on here. I just ignore 85% of what's posted and I'm good... if you can't do that, then idk?

Words that should be well-received by many posters on this forum.

I cant speak for everyone but most of the time that was an exception more than the rule and why is it a no mans land after there in Smack. Why cant they be allowed to return.

I mean it kinda hard to punish that system when you have mods infracting people as jokes and infracting people like Fiz for his posting style. Yea he is Bi-polar but its just kinda his style and he makes good points also.

TBH I think we are talking about the 1% and ignoring the 99% rest. Yes there are some people that would do that but if you have a few bad apples you don't go chop down the tree. To say just ignore it is kinda like saying Crime will take care of its self.

Zod put together a spreadsheet of posters that were neg-repped to Smack and inserted a pivot table showing the posts they were neg-repped for. The disparity was really, really sad.

No system is perfect. I really cant speak on it because I used it for the right reasons. I enjoy a good argument but can you really say that anyone that got put in the red from Monday till now didn't deserve it? Maybe if its presented in a way that if that stuff happens again then it will be the end of Neg to Smack forever or those posters that do that will lose all there rep points. TBH most huddlers probably didn't know that was going on, I know I didn't.

Sadder than the current situation?

lol

it seems that people here get upset over a lot of troll posts, it would be great if we could just somehow add people to our very own list so that we dont have to see their posts...

OH WAIT

[ladypanther]

Voted "No." That's what we have mods for. Too many here do not understand the difference between not liking someone's opinion and it being smack.

doesn't stop them from getting quoted so you still have to see their posts and entire threads hijacked with it.

nah....i think most people in here can tell the difference between smack talk and differing opinion.

what we had yesterday was a bunch of smack talk from a wave of trolls from saint report that found out about a discussion going on here.

so have you found a non-sad way of dealing with the poor visitors that keep on getting unjustly neg-repped?

Gotta disagree with this. Grown man should be able to ignore posts on an internet. If they take it so serious that they really get upset they have bigger problems. Comparing it to crime which actually hurts people is absurd.

if everyone didn't bite the bait and edited their ignore lists frequently, then we wouldn't have this problem
