Re: What pisses you off?

I don't have that much time, so I didn't read all of the 7 pages, but:

When you view all the threads in a forum, and then go back to the main forum (ie: read all the subforum posts in the *NIX board), then press back in your browser, it still says they're unread until you refresh the page. I dunno, just kind of an annoyance more than anything.

I find that reputation given by new members (which doesn't count for anything) is a little annoying as a lot of the people who hand out reputation are new members - so it counts for nothing
yeah i know. Like 90% of my reps come from people who post about once

Are you having difficulty with the definition of 'reputation'?

Re: What pisses you off?

Well that is perhaps uncalled for. On the contrary, I find JBennet a great asset to DaniWeb - he is always eager to help others and he is very knowledgeable. He has corrected me on a few occasions and I respect him for that. I think these slanderous remarks are unfair and that DaniWeb is not the place for such comments/personal attacks. Or am I missing the point here and you are kidding?

Re: What pisses you off?

Well, I find that he posts the same thing as other users (John A, myself) just rewording the answer. It thought it simply amazing that he has 11,000+ posts, but if you look at all of his posts, they're all either "yeah" or "yep" or "i agree" style posts.

Hey, this is a thread about what pisses you off about Daniweb. There's another thing.

Re: What pisses you off?

I understand that, but how is that problem linked to daniweb - are you saying people should be penalised for posts that others disapprove of (even if they are perfectly harmless). had thought there was a Neg rep facility for that, although I see that facility can be abused.

One of the biggest grievances appears to be people not using code tags, which is about individual posts, and then linux said what pisses him off about jbennet, which is about individual posts. Both are about posts so there is not that big of a difference. I think it is linked to Daniweb because what we post gives potential members an image and we want to give them the right image. No one said we were going to penalize him, that is what reputation is for, as you stated. I personally believe jbennet is quite helpful but every now and then he does reword what someone else said or posts an "I agree".
