Unjust negative reputation

Expand Post »
Hello,

I wonder why am I getting negative reputation for starting threads in the geek's lounge.

Take a look over here.
http://www.daniweb.com/forums/member115698.html

When I put the cursor on the link to geek's lounge, the screen tip says, "A random forum for chat about anything... ". I did not say that Murphy's Laws explain everything. It is just a thread dedicated to Murphy's Laws, nothing else. I don't think there was any valid reason for iamthwee to do this.

Regards,
-Jishnu.

Note: iamthwee is refering to something in this http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread102006.html thread and the negative reputation is given for some other post.

It doesnt matter anyway. Rep from the geeks lounge, coffee house and resrtricted forums does NOT count toward your total rep but it is listed in your profile.

Re: Unjust negative reputation

The point is, I don't like red spots on my profile just due to the wierd nature of someone else. I would not have started this thread if there was a valid reason for the neg rep..

Re: Unjust negative reputation

As has been said, you just have to live with it. Reputation, both good and bad, is given at the whim of the person giving it, it is their opinion, and as such we cannot say they are right or wrong.

However, they can only give you the one bit of rep a day, and rep given in the lounge does not impact upon your displayed score.

Just ignore it...

Sorrie jishnu, I can't give you any more neg reputation today, but I'll be sure to remember to give you some tomorrow. That way you'll have two red spots together so it will look less random and more uniform.

[aside] I'm mighty popular all of a sudden, that's really flattering[/aside]

Maybe his user name explains that.
