The General Chatter Thread.

I see no evidence that people do it out of spite. The only person to ever say this is you, Goldenfox. I think you're inventing excuses as to why your popularity isn't as high as it was once. That's just how it comes over.

I do have my reasons for thinking it's out of spite, actually-
 
- I do realise that it was once overinflated. I can understand that.
- Then, even after being put down to a reasonable degree (between 10-20 or so, might not be exact, particularly when it was once 40), it just kept. Going. Down.
- Each time I tried to do things to fix it, it went up slightly, before going into inevitable decline when the jealous little sh**s find out.
- And finally, as Scourge rightly pointed out earlier, the only reason they generally do it is out of spite. They want reactions. They want to see me pissed off. That's all. Regardless of what I do, they will always be there, watching my rep, and downrating if it goes up even once.
 
And that's the thing. They're just jealous that I actually worked over a long period of time for that popularity, and then out of spite, they destroy it in one united movement. Because they couldn't accept a freak like myself having any form of popularity.

what if I were to say I was pissed about hydro and scourge inflating your rep?

Well, they're the only ones who've actually stood by me through, who have been helping me with this issue, and are prepared to let it drop like it should.

Then stop mentioning it and stop reacting to it every time! They'll probably stop if you spoil their fun.

its really not an issue you just make it one

Like I say, there's been many, many times when I haven't even mentioned it. But much like having a swarm of wasps gradually appearing at a jam-making festival, it just becomes such a nagging issue that it had to be mentioned at some point or another. In other words, they still do it even if I don't say or do anything. That's what pisses me off about it.

RIGHT

Let's just drop this. Frankly, I've had quite enough of it.

To be honest, rep actually physically doesn't matter. It's how you're treated on the forum that determines your popularity, rep just being a figure to "support" that.

Take, for example, me. I am one of the worst members on the forum. That's not to say I'm a troll. I just don't contribute. At all.
And yet my rep's +3
This is an inaccurate way of showing it - as, though I may be on of the Junkyard Shepherds, I am in no way a popular and good member of the community, for obvious and reasonable reasons which I accept and recognise in their entirety.

On the other hand, boss is a kind, friendly, approachable person who contributes to the community as much as he can, and is also on of the Junkyard Shepherds, if not a Shepherd in general. Yet his rep is -1. Because people know he gets riled easily. They know that he thinks of the rep as his way of being recognised as the one to go to, the one to get advice from. And thus they tear it down. They gather in groups and tear down his entire reputation. However, his complaining only adds fuel to the fire, as the trolls realise their plan actually works and so do it more. They know that he'll eventually crack under enough pressure, so they keep on, even when he appears to be ignoring it.

I'm tired of having to wade through "My rep's gone down" posts from boss - and I realise that he's partially to blame for this. I realise that, even though it may compromise my position as his friend and contractee. But most of the blame lies with the trolls. They're merely bullies who'll find an easy target and latch onto them, whittling away until their victim gently snaps under the pressure. The kinder a person is, the easier a target they are. And picking on people is just an act of cowardice, especially when you can't tell who that person is. The people who are tearing down boss' reputation are too afraid to confront him on whatever. But revealing yourself is a trolling act in itself, as Scrap so kindly proved last page. I have more respect for the ones that come forward, however idiotic they may be to troll in the first place. And I know my respect doesn't count for much, but a very pissed off Scottish girl thrusting a flamethrower in your face is hardly a dream come true for any of you guys minus the masochistic ones.



tl;dr

By the power invested in my shield, I will defend boss and, inevitably, justice.

By the power invested in my flamethrower...
If I ever find you sneaky little trolls
I'll kill you













Alright, rant over.

and now for something completely different
