While it's the courteous thing to do, "signing" a rep here is optional. I'll look into the negative you received.Quote:

No reason to weep ;), if you expect someone to add a positive rep to yours then expect for some negative too.Quote:

I like this. We should make this a part of the rep explanation thread. :thumb:Quote:

There is a link to the post on which a rep (positive or negative) was given. You can at least find out what thread it was, and probably, through deductive reasoning, figure out who.Quote:

With all do respect (for you my friend :) ) but rep system is not even close to fit in the concept of LIFE so I think your quote was sort of "outta space" ...
BTW, they also say:Quote:

Because there were a number of 'retalitory ratings' early on with the rep system, I decided that displaying names caused more trouble than not displaying names.
As to deductive determinations based on who posts in a thread, I'd be cautious with that. This forum, like the others I oversee, has a huge number of lurkers that would rate, but not post (people like myself in many cases). I'd guess that the number of lurkers is well over 90%.

maybe this might help.
Stop thinking/researching that hard....that's not the post for which i got that...moderators will handle thatQuote:

I only reverse or remove a negative rating when it is the result of a mistake or if there is clear justification for reversing it. Neither of those are true in this case so I'm sorry but I'm going to let it stand. I wouldn't worry about it though. You've started to help people in the C++ forum just a couple of weeks ago and you already received a positive rep and I'm sure you will receive more.
well said :thumb:Quote:
