"Even" Reputation?

Hey there mods, I have a question for you (or anyone else with the answer to this). My user CP says that I have an "even" reputation for two different posts that i made on two different threads. If I got an even reputation for somehting, i am assuming that means that i got a negative response for that post and a positive one. so i guess my question is- if two different people rated my post, one positive and one negative, how come my user CP only has one member's name listed as the 'rater'? also... (this is the bigger issue) for the posts in which i received 'even' rep for, they don't really seem to have been worth a rep at all. what i mean is, one of my posts was completely unmeaningful- it would surprise me if anyone had actually taken the time to rate it. the other post was 100% positive, i said something like "good luck with everything, let me know how it goes." so, why would anyone have rated it negatively?

i think there might be an error with the rep system cause this just doesn't seem to be adding up to me. clarification?

When someone with negative reps gives someone with a positive reps its becomes a push...

if you are hi in reps and someone hi gives you reps,,, you get more than if you were low and he was still the same,,,hi... your status counts when receiving points...

I'm not stoned now...

Ok,,,

Jenny has a red dot and she has -45 reputation...

Joe has 4 green dots and he has +325 reputation...

Jenny gives Joe a negative reputation...

Jenny's negative means shit "cause Jenny is a loser" and has no right to slay a +325 member so Joe being an upstanding gentleman in the community trumps Jenny therefore creating a push...

at least this is my assessment as this has happen to me...

I still cant even figure out how to leave rep points :o

see the little scales next to the post number in the top right corner of each post.

Click on it, it'll ask if you want to give positive or negitive.

that makes sense, and i have noticed that people with higher rep points have a higher influence when they give/take others rep points. HOWEVER, like i said, the posts that have an even rep are either positive or neutral. So I guess there is either a mistake with the rep system or there are a couple little shits giving me negative rep points for no reason:mad:

well a no pointer can not give you either good or bad,,,they dont count... so a no pointer either way is no points...

look at the name of the peeps in your CP and then look at their status,,,I bet there all no pointers,,,but look fast cause if someone like my hits them good they will be green again in a flash...

Here is something I posted a while back,,,it is the instuctions to the rep system...

I don't have time to skim it for your answer,,,hope it's in there...

even the peeps at vbulletin are4 confused as to how everything works...

....I agree...but....I am starting to think of it as a mini-PM system...

....if a person looks at the latest 5 reps....and see's 4 green squares and one dark one....is the dark one..a neg rep?....

...if so....."revenge is a dish..best served cold"...

yeah i got a black one which i think was suppose to be possitive rep.. but yeah i think the whole point of rep systems just so you can spot out the assholes easier.. some people on this forum have shit loads of rep, like skink or LIP.. how they do it.. fuck knows

they must have magical stoner powers :rasta:

Yeah some user I had never seen or heard of beofre gave me negative rep for my response in the 'what made you get high for the first time' thread,

http://boards.cannabis.com/showthread.php?t=98296

here, that was just a cute little story.. ??? I don't get it... unless it was possibly the alter ego of a user who I had pissed off previously????

The rep system is weird and SOOO easy to abuse. I wish we just had PMs instead, but of course that would become hookup central, so I can't say that's a good idea either!

I have a secret repulator... I and Lip hold the patent...

I really think the peeps that generate bad reps are probably on their way to getting banned or are banned by now...

confrontation is a bad reason for reps... if you are a good sort and helpful that should be the reason IMHO...

See that's the problem... I have pretty high standards for behaviour... I'd like to see this community acting respectably as we are already fighting to improve our image in hopes of more effective pro-cannabis legal change. Those users who are working against that really chafe my tushie. I'm here to help people grow their own medicine... and giving sound advice is important to me too... some of the talk about violence, nailing young 13 year old girls, etc... it's just not helping things whatsoever!
