Yeah this is where I have to disagree.

Sure we should be more lenient to the newer members, but this guy is just spamming.. Why would you post the same thing in the same forum section twice. How hard is it to click that link up the top that says Help. He obviously doesn't want to come back, he wants us to email him.

Also a rep is nothing more than someones opinion. Why can't we voice our opinions. Isn't that what the rep system is for.

IMO if you have a problem with someones rep Pm the user that repped the person or PM an admin.

 

Im not really sure about this. Its two sided I guess. On the one hand I agree with Sunshine but on the other I agree with Lip. The only new user I think Ive automatically negged are the many acounts krissy has created. But some new users do abuse the forums and post countless crap and spam.

No! the rep system is to give new people an indication of someones reputation on the forums, you should wait for a while before you decide what that person is like, we all make mistakes when we start doing something, and if we are treated well about our mistakes we usual develop into a good poster.
IMO the mob mentallity of some of the members on this forum scares newbies off, and stops them asking for help.

Agreed. Reputation is something you build up. You can't know someones reputation from just a few posts.

Suggestion to WDZ: Disable repping people with less than XX posts .

Please don't make me repeat your initial rep for the person i was on about..it wasn't an opinion at all!

If they don't abide by the rules, politely direct them to the rules or where to post their thread.

If they ignore this and do it again, tell them again, perhaps in a PM to get their attention.

If they still don't, then things might get a bit tedious, so just report it.

But let there be peace! <3

Will you go apologise for your "not ment for that person" rep to the person you wronged then? Think before you rep someone next time (even tho in my heart i know you're just putting up a petty excuse now). I still know what it said and tbh i don't see why one would deserve a neg rep over it, it says nothin about ones helpfulness on the forums.

It was not a petty excuse. I will apologize but don't assume things you don't know..
