reputations

[Papa Spot]

Then you get feuds

going between this clique and that and the members of one clique will gang up on members of another clique to drive down their reputation points (or

karma, as it's called with some code systems).

I think if we keep things clean, honest and helpful, none of this will happen.
Critical

Security has LOTS of members (7,608 to be exact). I have been a member of that forum for awhile, and I haven't seen none of that going

on.

You haven't seen none of that going on? Oops! Double negative! :'(

(Sorry, Skippy. I yank your chain 'cause

I LIKE ya. I'll let the grammar thing go now 'cause I don't want to torment you to the point of hating me.)

Well, I hope you're right. I think that the

reason that a forum that size could get away with it is the same reason that might protect this forum: its main focus on noncontroversial. Mrs. Spot

belonged to a forum of about five thousand that used a similar feature and she got regularly trashed. Now Mrs. Spot is a nice lady and, though she's

outspoken she's not mean or rude. Her only crime was to not be a right wing extremist like most of the rest of that forum. I'll see if she'll share some of

the comments that she got there. ANYONE at that forum that was any more liberal than Pat Robertson had a karma (reputation) in the negative numbers.
