Large Scale Central

Question??

General Discussion
#1

Just wondering why everyone has Share, Thank, Add Reputation, Report, at the top and not me?

I e-mailed Bob about a month ago and no reply.

Thanks

Don

Probably because you cannot “Thank,” “Add Reputation,” or “Report” yourself for your own posts.

Otherwise Rooster would have tons of “Thanks” and an incredible “Reputation.”

-Kevin.

Edited because Rooster would want it that way.

#3

Actually Rooster has publicly stated that he doesn’t give a hoot, or is that a cluck, about his reputation.

#4

Partially because he was hammered as soon as it came out!

There was a flurry of activity when the reputation features came out, and a lot of tit for tat.

Looks like it is there to me.

Yea, Paul, you can see it on his post, but you won’t see it on your own posts…(http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)

#7

As the dismalguy said; We don’t have them on Our posts, we can only rate others, as if it matters.

Don, seeing as you felt slighted, I just boosted your rating by one point to; Well Respected, join the crowd.

Make sure you are signed in and not viewing as a guest. Only members can report those things.

Devon,

I doubt if his profile would show in lurker mode… I don’t see that header in my post above, just as it shouldn’t be.

Perhaps it’s personal?

Well, probably not. I think this is typical for every post you make - others can do things, but you can’t. (Would you really Report your own post?)

#11

Thanks guy’s!

Don

#12

Don this is the best I can copy what I see when I read your post. If you’ll note the date line then shows those keys you can’t see when you look at your post. Like others have said they are not needed for you to use against your own post(http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif)

Greg, and it still goes on from time to time. But, no matter what it says, Respected or slime-ball, each person will have their own feelings toward each member. I just don’t want to be looked at as a slime-ball, even if that is what rating I end up with one day.

#14

Well Dave, since you are one of the most thanked members, I surely would not even consider worrying about it.

I zapped a couple of people, and they spent a couple of days finding posts of mine to give me a negative reputation… pretty obvious, but there’s always people like that.

It’s what the long haul shows, and like rooster, I pretty don’t give a rat’s patoot …

Greg I do not know if a thanks translates into a reputation point, but since there are different buttons, I suspect that it doesn’t. And yea, I have been dinged that way myself. But I am not worrying about it.

My philosophy is that I do not want to become an adult, because adults are unhappy people who are always worrying about stuff that usually never happens. And if it does happen, its not as bad as they thought it was going to be.

So, I am not an adult. I just play one in real life.

#16

Nope, a thanks is separate, and the top 10 people with thanks can be seen on the main forums page.

I don’t want to grow up either, playing is what I work hard for.

Greg

p.s. you have the highest number of thanks of anyone on the forum, in case you have never seen the stats…

#17

I was just wondering, when the web site was down for a while, then came back up they were there. Then disappeared.

I guess Bob was still working on somethings.

I really don’t give two hoots about the reputation. I never give a negative one and rarely give a positive one. They are anonymous and really don’t tell much of what is going on. I do like the “thank” button as it shows publicly that I appreciate someone for their contribution. As far as getting reputation points I don’t really care. A thanks is nice once in awhile but even then that has been over done and I have received thanks for things that weren’t really thank worthy in my opinion.

As for being an adult I did that for far too long. I am clawing my way back to childhood.

#19

Childhood is the most wonderful time of life, for many thankful adults. To be able to allow yourself the privilege of returning to that great age, even for a few hours a day, can help a person to laugh, smile, play, and even enjoy sharing with others. Actions that often in adulthood are lost, forgotten, or egotistically thrown away.

Devon makes a point; when he basically says, that a “Thank You”, when deserved, once in a while, is nice, but often overdone.

I often wonder if we used the “Share” tab, we would be doing more good. Sharing others’ good ideas and thoughts, might do more good than anything else in this crazy, often selfish World we live in.

It is too bad, that all the share button/tab does is repeat the original message, along with whatever you want to add; and only shares the original with people who have already read it.

It would be nice if “Share” actually meant SHARING with others who are not attending or reading the forum. it is actually just a form of “Preaching to the choir”, and does practically nothing, but take up band width…
