Remove D3V's repping ability.

Question for other Zel members: How many times has D3V repped you, and what was the ratio of negative/positive reps?

lol

Of the 20 reps I can view in my User CP, I have 5 negative ones. Every single one of them from D3v. Not a single positive rep from D3v.

On April 17th, I did a count of the reps I had recieved. Of the 20 reps I could view then, 8 were negative, 7 of which came from D3v (the 8th one was from Thanatos, if I remember right, when I had ASKED people to negatively rep me because of how little I care.) Here are some of the comments he has left me in the past.

"Go eat a dick you douchebag. Nobody likes you on here, Even chruser is losing respect for you, he'll eventually turn away. Just go die."

"Cry about it more."

"Wrong, you're douchebag orameter is going off the scale."

"Wrong"

"Canning it is a horrible idea, don't be so naieve"

"quit your bitching, fucking crybaby I didn't cheat anything my buddy is allowed to rep whomever he wants."

"/cry"

"......... Last time I checked this wasn't English 101"

A lot of these reps were on random posts.

I would be interested to see what everyone's rep would look like if we were to not count reps given by D3v (and consequently, Afroman.) I would guess D3v would be at 2-3 bars, instead. I think I would have recieved little-to-no negative rep.

My opinion, though, is leave it in. It gives d3v this imaginary idea that he can somehow punish us, and it makes him feel important and more liked. It makes him feel like his opinion actually matters. In all honesty, I think he's the only one that really gives two shits about the rep system. He went out of his way to get numerous positive reps from Afroman, simply to raise his rep. I guess he thought that it would give this illusion that he's one of the most liked members at Zelaron. Just the same, he seems to target other members whom he feels threatened by, lowering their rep and giving the illusion that he is liked more than them.

All in all, letting him enjoy his little game probably keeps him from harming animals IRL, and it gives us a good laugh at how he takes it so seriously. If the rep system did anything useful, I would probably care, but right now I don't. The only possible use that it potentially had was to show how the community feels about people, but allowing D3v to do what he has been doing (and still does) keeps that from ever really being a possibility. For instance, I would be willing to bet good money on the fact that if the negative reps I've recieved from D3v were not counted, I'd be at 4 bars, possibly even higher right now. I'd wager a guess that 85% of my negative reps are from D3v, maybe even more than that.

So basically, the conclusion to this long and drawn out post about stuff that really doesn't matter but is somewhat entertaining is exactly what the post started with:
