What Is Considered Trolling with Rep?

Both El Chup and Faceman have accused me of using rep to troll outside the Red Room.

I thought Negative Reps were something we were free to use anywhere regardless given that rep doesn't really mean anything anymore?

I hereby request to ban Dayton as well as El Chup from MC. Really, people would like to discuss stuff in there and you two just keep stinking up the place with your bickering.

Make them an Arena subforum and put both of them there. Make another called Coliseum where the rest of us can applaud and/or boo them while they're going at it like Gandalf and that fire monster thingy

Most would likely boo. What is there to cheer? @Dayton3, I have not seen these complaints, but generally it's okay to use rep outside of the RedRoom to indicate disagreement. I don't think there is any kind of objective standard to apply, though.

Your question is irrelevant since you admitted you were giving neg rep to troll.

I never said I was trolling.

El Chup claimed that.

Still not whining Kitchens?

No. I'm asking for rules clarification.

Sparked by both you and Faceman lying in Media Central.

Interesting, Dayton. I answered the question by saying it was a legitimate way to express disagreement, but now I just came across this in Media Central:

So you admit, that in your case, it's not about disagreement, but is in fact an effort to troll other members in a no trolling zone. You would have been better off pretending that your use of and regarded disagreement with the post. Now you have painted a target on yourself. Every time you neg rep in Media Central, staff will now rightly conclude that you are trolling. I suggest avoiding the tactic going forward.

Yet others are allowed to use it?

Tell you what I will only use negative reps in Media Central when I disagree with what is posted.

How's that?

At any rate I never claimed to be trolling. I said I was simply retaliating against those who were.

Poowe widdwe Dayton.
It's never his fault.


Why, if no one ever made fun of him, he'd be a jolly little gummi bear, bouncing around, and throwing Tootsie Rolls to the children.

We MAKE him be bad.
How can we live with ourselves?

Yet you started this thread, again with the point of "using the mods as weapons", why else start such a thread unless you were looking to have other warned or banned for using board functions that have been allowed. This has already been explained to you before, changing the wording does not change the question being asked. And @gul has already told you before, any such restrictions would most likely be enacted upon you.

That's a risky choice, now that we know you use rep to troll.

You are lying.

Learn to read. Both El Chup and Faceman claimed that using the negative reps in Media Central were trolling.

They lied.

... and we're on again

Best quit while you're not further behind, Dayton.

I'll simply say gul it is annoying to come back to the board and receive 20 notifications. all people neg repping you. Usually just one or two people at a time. And not nearly all the neg reps confined to the Red Room.

Now you know one person hasn't had a chance to read 10 posts carefully and consider what you are saying.

So now you're telling me that I cannot retaliate against them by negative repping them?

Don't want neg reps, stop posting. It's quite simple really. Or a little less simple, but still obvious, stop posting dumb shit that gets you the neg reps.

Have you ever stopped to consider that maybe the people doing that genuinely disagree with you?

Nah. Who am I kidding? Of course you haven't.

Of course now you've let everybody know that you can be successfully trolled through rep, so I suspect you'll be receiving even more of it now.

Have you ever stopped to consider that maybe I genuinely disagree with people disagreeing with me?

Of course you haven't..............

No we weren't. Gul quoted the post that was the basis for my claim. You're only lying to yourself now. I hope Jesus will forgive you.

You claimed it was trolling when gul himself said there was no such rule.

You are lying.

But with you that is typical.

We did consider that until you admitted that you did it to retaliate. That suggests that you didn't care about the content.

Oh sure. You say that now.

this from someone known for lying about what is posted.

Not when you admit in the post I quoted that you do it as retaliation.

Goddamn you can be fucking stupid.

You are being insulting. Insulting someone is the sure way NOT to inspire self reflection.

This is the saddest part of it all.

Despite all his failures in this area, Dayton think he's diabolical, and fools us.

So are you saying you didn't start this thread with the hope of having @Goldstein the Space Jew and @Faceman getting warnings? Or were you just trying to ask a question that has already been answered?

Sometimes insults are necessary to call attention to one's shortcomings, as long as you are unaware of what your faults are you can't do any self reflection, so @shootER is actually trying to help you. Not insult you, and you cannot determine what is insulting, that is up to others.

Dayton, you wouldn't self reflect if the world blew up, then Q appeared, and took you through flashbacks showing how you caused it.
He'd send you back to prevent it, and you'd do it all over again, because that's how right you think you are.

If you're in my shoes, what's left to do with someone like that, but throw tomatoes?
Oh, right, that'd take self reflecting, and..well...

Or he'd claim he was simply retaliating against those that insulted him in the past.
