Negative reputation should be given if the person is posting something that detracts from the conversation. If the post is rude, inappropriate, breaks forum rules, is not gracious, etc; these are all good reasons to give negative reputation. If you have a personal grudge with someone, their team, etc, is it not appropriate to give them negative reputation for no reason. Giving negative reputation because you don't agree with what was said is not an appropraite use of the reputation system.

Reputation should be given to people who post meaningful, helpful, and thoughtful posts. Any post that contributes to the thread in a positive way probably deserves positive reputation. This does not mean that you agree with what was said; the point brought up may be completely opposite to what you believe, but it may be a good point nonetheless, and worthy of a pat on the back.

Patricia Pulling It stems mainly from a pair of isolated incidents, one of which occurred in 1979, and the other of which happened in the early 1980s. The first incident involved a young man named James Dallas Egbert, a 16-year-old boy who was bright enough to be attending college at such a young age. Egbert had much more than his fair share of problems; he was under constant pressure from his parents to exceed, and was hiding his drug addictions and homosexuality from them.

this time you can not get it removed. Just concentrate on getting better reputation points on your future posts if possible.

When a new user first starts out, their reputation does not count. When the user starts earning rep points, they can give out rep points, but the neutral ones they gave out at first will not change. They will still have zero value. Not all users rep points are equal. These are the factors that determine how many reputation points a user can give with each click: 1. For each year of membership (since join date) the users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power. 2.

I admit that there is some negative bias in some of my reporting. For the most part, I try to keep the really negative stuff out of the main content and instead place it on my Politics page. I do try to consider what others will think and try to adjust my commentary appropriately, but at the same time if something is really not worth your while to see, I want you to know. I am the one who authors the site, so you will not be reading the official company line.

Each member has the ability to rate you (good or bad) depending on how they feel about your participation in the forum. However, each member can change their mind and revoke a bad rating at any time. They can then change their rating to good. So there is always a second chance to redeem yourself. Similarly, a member can also revoke a good rating and change it to a bad rating, so it works both ways.

While most of us associate inflammation with pain, inflammation is a necessary part of the body's response to injury and infection.

Yes, they do. But they appear bad to the believers because they are things people don't like. Who likes breaking a leg? However, when a bad thing happens to a believer this believer is patient. He praises Allah in all circumstances. He knows Allah does not decree something unless it is for his own good.

Historically, there have been problems between the Masons and several of the organized religions. This has included a papal bull denouncing us and a litany of charges about what we say and do. The Catholic Church agreed decades ago that there is no heresy in masonry and that their members are welcome to join. There are other churches and cults that seem to feel that Masons are engaged in religious and anti-religious activities that are in conflict with their faith.

Gaining a good reputation requires a high approval rating from your fellow members. Members who like you will most likely give you a good rating. Generally, posting useful information on the forum and interacting with fellow members politely will encourage them to give you a good rating thus increasing your reputation points.

No, having a negitive reputation or recieving many negitive reputation comments is not, by itself, grounds for a ban. However, it is difficult to get more negitive rep then positive, and the same poor behavior that leads to poor reputation can lead to a ban.

No. If you make the Administrator angry enough, or violate the terms of use agreement in any way, you will be permanently banned regardless of your reputation.

Once it is healed, there is very little that will screw up a tattoo. The one exception is prolonged exposure to sunlight. (the other is scarring, but that is patently obvious). Well, unfortunately it is. The newer inks are better at resisting fading but whatever you do, if you spend lots of time in bright sunlight your tats will fade (over a lifetime, not over a week). Best to try and keep them out of bright sunlight.
