Gumby
I must admit you are a master at selective interpretation. I have asked you to read and understand the issues I raised but you seem to only want to selectively respond often taking it out of context. Your strength is in mocking so why don't you stick to that? When you want to articulate objectively then I am happy to communicate.
Read "O" once and its idea of a purple circle was sumwhat diffrent to yoursQuote:

This purple circle thing however is implying that once any member of the purple circle sends a red then all connected will follow
I have seen one instance where a new member was bombarded with reds because one forum member took offence to the newbie reply . one in a couple of years, usually the reds flow because of the crap posted and the top 20 hitters are the ones who look at the forum a couple of times a day and contribute daily, as they have done for years and have made this forum as good as it is , not because there is some secret covert gang
It becomes hard to draw a line for me in that I havent yet been disturbed enough to send a red ( though doug's new avatar if non changed may be my first) I don't like to see new members shot down in flames when my interperation of there threds is diffrent from others and they get bombarded , in those cases I pm offer some "hang in there advice" and sometimes give a green if the post warents it under the forum rules
There have been lots of ideas as to how to improve the reputation system , If EVERYONE followed those rules we wouldn't have a probem
who here has only ever given a green because
Reputation should be given to people who post meaningful, helpful, and thoughtful posts. Any post that contributes to the thread in a positive way probably deserves positive reputation. This does not necessarily have to mean that you agree with what was said; the point brought up may be completely opposite to what you believe, but it may be a good point nonetheless, and worthy of a pat on the back. "Giving positive reputation to someone because they are your friend and deserve to have a few more green dots next to their name isn't a good reason to give positive reputation."
Or given a red because
Negative reputation should be given if the person is posting something that detracts from the conversation. If the post is rude, inappropriate, breaks forum rules, is not gracious, etc; these are all good reasons to give negative reputation.
If you have a personal grudge against someone, it is not appropriate to give them negative reputation for no reason. Giving negative reputation because you don't agree with what was said is also inappropriate use of the reputation system. People are entitled to their own opinions, just because you don't agree doesn't mean the user was wrong or not contributing to the conversation.
Sometimes its good just to read the guide lines again
Pardon.
Can you run that past me again?
Preferably the condensed version. :confused:
If you don't think you can handle it mate, then you can. :DQuote:

With regard to the purpke circle, my thoughts are as follows:
Quote:
I think I'm in. which means I'm really out, because if you think you're out like Doug does, then you are definitely in. If I say THEM, it's to make you think that I think I'm out, when actually I think I'm in which is proof positive that I'm out.
Purple Circle??? I think you're headband is too tight!!!!:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
Ooh ouch! my head hurts :DQuote:

Those who log on to the forum most, are most likely to give red/greenies
Purple circle paranioa does not occure often but has happened
A copy of the rules when to post red or green points
And the story of "o" had a diffrent deffinition of a purple circle
