KristineIN Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I have a disapproving reputation, a message was left but no name. Just curious if you give people disapproving reputation, and if you do, do you do it because you don't like the person? or just really don't approve? Even if I don't approve, I'm not going to single a person out and give them disapproving reputation, to me it's just being negative. If you leave a disapproving reputation, do you leave your name? What about positive reputation, do you leave your name then? Anyone else have a disapproving reputation? Knowing me, this came across wrong and I'll get a few more after this thread. Oh well!

GreenKitty Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 No, I have not. That part just seems like it would be passing around negativity. Too bad it's not just for the sale/swap board, that would make more sense? I do like when people leave their name, that way I can give them one too.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angela in ohio Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 did you only used to be able to leave approving reputation. I only used it twice in the first day, and it never gave me an option to leave messages or disapprove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kristine When I scroll over your green thingy (?!) it says you're on a distinguished road. Am I missing something? I clicked on the scales once, on JudoMom's post, I think, just to see what they did. :) It asked if I approved or disapproved of this post, and gave me a space to leave a message. Good grief. Now I'm worried I have a bad reputation and don't know it. ;) I really think that function is......stupid. *gasp* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angela in ohio Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Okay, I just checked my CP, and I have a list of them with messages, but they don't say if they are positive or negative (they all say basically "thank you" so I am assuming they are positive?)

Rhonda@LivingWater Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 And NO WAY I would do it, not for any reason! How in the world do you know if you got one anyway?

I've bought 5 years of their products so I'm a member for life (no charge) or something like that. The irony is I haven't bought anything from them in over 5 years. I wouldn't pay to use their forums. I don't like how they've set it up (to charge people)- and people complained loudly when they made the switch (made WTM's switch seem very tame comparatively) - but just like here it's their playground and they're all nice enough to let us play in it :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herding Cats in NC Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Well, this is a new format, so I'd probably just chalk it up to someone testing a feature. Along the lines of "hey, what does this button do?" I can't see why anyone would leave negative feedback. Even if someone disagreed with you there'd be no need for them to do that.
