Feedback Red/Green - where is the FAQ page for this

Not that it need much explaining but is there anywhere that explains how the reputation system here works? I can't seem to find a FAQ or help page.

 

hehe try searching for "reputation" You'll probably find over a hundred threads

 

red you bad, green you good. A good way to get red is to start a thread like this or express any political oppinion.

 

Thanks for your help, guys. Aaron's link gave me a brief idea (if not of "reputation" itself at least an appreciation that one's ability to award points to others rises in a number of different ways).

I obviously don't understand the system, then. Asking for help typically annoys people enough for them to give you "red"? And why should I care if I get "red"? Even if it happens repeatedly?

I'm surprised that nobody ever considered this an important enough subject to be covered properly in the FAQ. This being, appropriately, the Suggestions and Feedback section, I suggest a comprehensive explanation of the reputation system (or a link to where it's already covered)

 

Stop worrying about what people think of you, just dont be annoying and you will be fine...

 

It was a valid question and not one whining about "why did I get a red?"... I agree, if it's not in the faq, it should be.

 

It's kind of like an online popularity thing. You see people with a lot of green and it's like hey looks it's the funny guy or the helpful guy, but overall not really important. It's funny though for something being so unimportant people love to whine about it.

Sometimes people don't like to do business as eagerly with someone who is in the red, because sometimes people get red from the buy, sell, trade forum because they might not end an auction when they should, etc.

The reason why people sometimes red rep people for asking about rep is because it gets asked a lot. Actually people complain about it alot and anytime someone sees a a thread about it they automatically get ready to red rep someone.

If you look around a little bit you'll see there are a lot of threads asking about rep so that's why they said you're lucky if you don't get repped for that. There probably should be some easy all inclusive FAQ though.

I hope that helps.

Warning some of the above my not make much sense because my girlfriend asked me about 100 questions in the middle of writing this.

 

What were the answers?

 

How com is some chicken of the sea, but it tastes like fish?

 

30 minutes after your workout you need a good protein carb mix. .8 g carbs and .4 g protein per bodyweight

I like to eat 1 hour after I work out

It's good to eat 1 hour before you workout

Yes

No

Because 30 minutes is a good time frame

25 pound monkey

zombie emercency plan



There are a lot more, but that's just a few off the top of my head.

 

The funny thing is.... I figured out the questions....

 

That's because I'm imformative.

But even the questions to

25 pound monkey

zombie emercency plan

 

a) ouch, what is on my back?

and

b) I have a big juicy brain, what sort of disaster preparations should I make?

 

Hodgy, I think you might have forgotten these answers:

I don't know baby, it's never done that before.

Well never mind the quality, feel the width.

Yes, sweetie and don't forget to let the hooker out the closet.

Wrap it a bit tighter round that post, we don't want to break it again.

Oh and...

No, thanks. Not now.

 

With the monkey comment

she said "did you almost see me fall".

Me"25 pound monkey"

Her"What"

ME"All it would have taken was a 25 pound monkey to jump on you and you would have gone down."



The other one was

Her"can you help me plan this?"

Me"No"

Her"come on"

Me"You never help me plan anything"

Her"you don't plan anything. Ok fine I'll help you plan anything you want."

Me"Ok. zombie emergency plan"

Her"what"

Me"you know in case we get attacked by zombies"

Her"That's dumb"

Me"See. Well all that girl stuff is dumb"

Her"Well I always thought that if we got attacked by zombies you would be able to handle everything."

Me"And you can handle all that girl stuff. That's what makes this relationship work."



And that's a typical 5 minutes of my relationship.

 

Easy for you to say, Mr. "Look at Me I have Twelve Green Pebbles" Hodgedup!

 

what shits me is that most of the people who complain about rep threads are nearly always in one somewhere....some private high roller rep threads just go on and on, with stuff like "you must spread rep around before giving anymore to that other high roller you want to kiss ass with".

There's an abundance of DP'ers here with shitloads of rep just for masturbating some other Dp'er with loads of rep.

I know that some people really do deserve their rep for whatever reason - funny, cordial, informative but others who's whole purpose seems to be rep.

It's some form of social acceptance for some people, who without the use of a keyboard, wouldn't have very much "rep"

 

I've never touched anyone sexually at DP....yet...

 

Cute_Lara was getting the hormones running around here though eh...na Hodged you are a genuine player...kiss kiss (leaving 2 big red smudged marks on the screen.)
