Should we choo-choo a Neg Train on Colton?

[Dr. Jones]

No it hasn't. I don't care about this Cy-Nikkk thing, but I do want to voice input on how I prefer things to be. I don't like the current system and would hate to see it tightened even further because two posters pushed the modstaff over their limits.

It may have ended here today but it hasn't ended in the behind the scenes decision making.

#liberate rep

I admit I haven't thought through this stuff at all.. so I'll just trust your end stinks on it.

I personally think Colton handled things a bit immaturely or even unprofessionally.. but we're all human and prone to make mistakes.. even mods.

Perhaps I made a mistake in how I handled things, but what's the proper response from an admin when a user indicates he feels he's being bullied by another user? I looked into the posts that were neg repped, and didn't see anything particularly neg rep worthy. Plus the rep comments were, and I quote, "negged hard", "yup", "stop being a loser", and "losing mentality", so it seemed to me that Hotttnickkk had a legitimate gripe. I decided, however, that it didn't really seem infraction worthy so it seemed that the appropriate response was to neg rep the neg repper. Which I did, after giving Cyrone a warning which was promptly ignored.

I'm actually not trying to be overly critical, which is why I have included you in my empathisizing. I also said I may have done the exact same thing.

Like I have said earlier.. it may have been better to say, "you've gotten on my last nerve and if I see it again, I'll give you a 6 month ban."

That takes away a poster's ability to martyr themselves and cause more chaos. It's all hindsight though.

My end on what made this forum so great stinks? Okay, opinions suck. Thanks for the pat on the head too.

If there was a vote to abolish rep I'd be for it, and I honestly didn't give much of a **** before this.

Instincts

Is there srsly a chance frank missed that joke?

I never even contemplated that possibility when reading his reply. I guess that would answer things though.

Cy has used rep in the worst ways. I'd be very curious to know whether he has ever negged someone with a higher rep power. Doubt it. It's always some stupid stupid power play.

Use to neg Trout back in the day all the time. Negged PKM many a time before (though that may have been when we were at equal rep).
