Rep. Points......??

[squirt_12]

ok so if someone has gave you a negative thing....would it show up as red and the positive green???

thanks.

[gm72]

Not red, no, just negatively affects your overall rating.

[squirt_12]

well i was looking at my rep points and there were like 4 green ones and then a red one....what does the red one mean?????

[gm72]

Oh, oh, yes, it would show up as red there, I thought you meant out in the forum, but red for a negative in the User CP.

[squirt_12]

yes it is in the User CP thing.

o well that sucks then..... :(

[gm72]

I wouldn't worry about it too much, you are a great member here. Sometimes a negative is left just due to a misunderstanding. Unfortunately once left it can not be removed. Just like eBay's feedback system.

[squirt_12]

i am not worried but i just want to know what i did wrong....lol.....and it was in the chatterbox section (i believe) about Eriks frame that he built for his future 40g tank that he is making.

it just puzzles me.

EDIT- it was in the General Aquarium Forum spot

well click on it and it takes you to the exact post that you've got that rep for.

i think bad rep reduce 1 point from your rep points. once i was +11 by a good rep then got a bad rep and become +10.

[gm72]

The more rep points you have the heavier the weight giving one becomes.

i did that and this is all i said:

wow...very nice....the tank should look b-e-autiful once it is all done...great job,......i can't wait to see what the final product comes out to look like.

copy and paste

but i honestly don't care that i got a negative but like i was just wondering what the red ment.

thanks everyone for the help.

[gm72]

I am guessing someone just hit the wrong button when posting that rep point. Certainly no reason for a negative there!

[squirt_12]

thats what i thought and well i don't care anyways...i just wanted to know.

and for the person who did this.....i am not mad at you i just wanted to know what the red means.
sorry if i make you feel bad. i am NOT trying to make you feel guilty or anything.

[gm72]

There is no way for anyone other than the person who gave the negative rep to know who gave it.

[crackatinny]

I am guessing same as GM, that it was accidently done, I have given you some rep to counterweight it, but like GM says, the red will stay, when you hover over your rep box in your posting box, it still gives a good comment for you, so I would not take it to heart.

[squirt_12]

thanks crack :thumb:

i wasn't taking it to heart....all i wanted to know was if the red ment negative or not.

[Algenco]

I gave you a little bump:thumb:

[squirt_12]

I gave you a little bump:thumb:
thanks.....you all don't have to do this.....it didn't even really affect how many points i had anyways. (the negative one)

[themusician]

Where do you go to see how many positive and negative rep points you have? I'm not finding it in the User CP.

[cocoa_pleco]

just hit user CP, and under your subscribed threads will be a chartish thing

[A340]

Didn't even know you can give negative reps. Surprised I haven't gotten any yet .... lol!

Not something that is encouraged, once given they are there for good.

I can see no reason anyone would give you bad rep Patrick, you may be outspoken about some things, but everyone has there right to there say, within reason of cause.
