Yes he has. He feels they are playing childish games. And with the rep comments I've seen, he's right.

You are in no place to guarantee anything Dani might do. And the rep system is not meant to be abused, either.

"Because I don't feel nice."

Childish bullys are picking on him, and I have lost respect for them.

Dani in fact should do something about this.

Is this a case of the pot calling the kettle black? You seem to be acting quite below the professional level yourself, bucko. Don't give advice you aren't going to follow yourself.

Do some research before airing an incorrect analysis.

And new members don't know this. I would have the same concern.

Again, research it. See my post above and tell me if bad rep was subjectively given.

I am free to believe as I wish. And I do not believe Dani will shut down the rep system.

hahaa.. Those aren't all my reps. I never said all the rep I gave him was deserving.. but most of it was. Besides, it's just reputation! WaltP, you need to stop getting so emotional about petty matters.

I don't know if you just can't read or what. I said to post professionally around the professional forums on daniweb. The Coffee house is not professional. People are free to do as they wish in there. However, when I do venture out into other parts of daniweb, all of my posts have been professional.

Next time learn to read. Thanks.

I'm not getting emotional. You and your friends are bullying a member. And you posted crap in this thread, I'm simply responding.

Excuse me? Since when is the Coffee House not professional? The Geek's Lounge is the non-professional forum. Here in feedback we conduct ourselves professionally. It's how we get information to Dani. It's not for your trying to justify petty vendettas.

I am bullying nobody. Giving pointless bad rep to people happens all the time. Don't believe me? Look at a few negative reps I've received:
"Hate the Fed, Mr. Ron Paul man! :p"
"awww... **** you josh"
"Is Sturm your boyfriend?" This one was from the dude

Am I advocating giving infractions to all these people, too? No, that would be silly. It's reputation! I couldn't care less.. You are making a big deal out of nothing.. And your poor victim 'the dude' did the EXACT same thing back to me. He gave me bad rep for no reason. Yet, I get the infraction... You are the one who is actually being unfair.

First of all, I guarantee that Dani will not disable the rep system just because you are complaining. Secondly, the rep system is not meant to be taken this seriously..

And finally, all the bad rep you got was deserved. I mean, all you ever do is post random links. If you want to do this, then I advise you to stay in the Geek's lounge. But once you go on to the more professional forums of Daniweb, it is expected that you behave differently.
You been so lucky now, I was giving you bad reputation for this post but forgot to change to disaproval

PS: If this get into flame wars, post will be lock dude & josh namely

I've looked through your posts, The Dude, and determined that a certain measure of harassment through the reputation system has violated Keep It Pleasant. The parties involved have been dealt with accordingly.

If you could send me a list of the posts that have rep you feel was part of this attack, I'll see about getting the points and comments removed.

On a side note, if anybody feels any reputation has broken the rules, please report the post where the reputation was given, and make it clear that the reason the post was reported is due to rep[1]. That way the mods can make a decision quickly and nip things like this before they turn into a big deal.

[1] Otherwise we'll look at the post itself, which would be counter-productive.

Finally, this thread is getting a little hot and going nowhere, so I'm closing it.
