How am I a victim, Damocletus? You make special rules for your friends, especially Legina, you make threats to ban me for porn, Rule 14, yada, yada, yada, yet I'm still here. How does that make me a victim?

You tell me, here you are crying again about stuff that is nonsense and still off topic to the thread.

Why make a change at all except to cater to your MAGAt victims of bad ol' Dutch's neg repping?

The question is, should all the points count the same since they contribute to the goal of the site, which is for both sides of the political aisle to interact. It would change none of the interaction. Each time things change, you believe it is "because" of you, and that you are victimized by it. The only way you could possibly be "victimized" by this is if you think the points matter, that you would not have spent weeks and weeks neg repping old posts.. if you thought it might not subtract "points" from some random total...

The fact remains you bend over backwards for them. Fine. All I'm asking for is that you admit you're a MAGAt and are using your powers to manipulate the forum in their favor. I respect honesty even when I disagree with it. I strongly dislike liars which is why I dislike people who use socks to attack others and bolster their own ideology.

Nobody is doing this "for" anybody, shoot I haven't decided anything on it at all, I just wondered what people thought...

What I will be doing "for" that particular thing, I have notably stated so before the migration to the new server, is creating the reaction ignore feature so that folks can simply choose to not get reaction notifications from specific posters... You get to give them "points", they get to get notifications only when they want them. It's a win-win....

This idea is something I thought about when I started with reputation points back in the day... Why should any be "negative" when the goal is interaction? So. I wondered if anyone else thought the same as I did. Should it matter that the reaction is a "barf" emoji? They'll know you didn't like the post regardless of what random value I give to them.

I can also make it so no points are given or taken. It would be a zero sum game, literally. However, I think the goal should be to reward those that bring the most board participation/interaction.

I'd also like to add, that once again, there is an actual thread for this conversation and this thread is not that one... And that it makes you look totally like you aren't whining when you cannot stick tot he subject of the thread but instead have to demand attention from the manager... Karen...

I may move these posts from this thread so it can get back on topic.

It's your thread, Damocletus. It's you pushing to get rid of neg reps because all of your little MAGAt friends are victims of it. It's you who is gaslighting others about who is and who isn't a victim. It's you who encourage socks to both post and vote in order to control the narrative.

Why don't you come out of the closet and admit you're a MAGAt? If it walks like a MAGAt and talks like a MAGAt, the odds are good it's a MAGAt.

Do you want to be the next leader of Dark MAGA like your hero Elon? Is that it?

This is not that thread....

I created a poll to find out what people think of an idea. You created the "victimhood" angle, Drunkle Karen.

And now, yes.... I'll be moving these posts to that thread so that this one can get back on topic.

Awesome. You have the power to push JPP in the direction you want, Damocletus.
 
Dutch Uncle said:
Damocletus allows it as long as it support MAGAt ideology. If it went the other way, is there any doubt he'd change the rules again? :thinking:

The "points" are not a rule. Why is that only confusing to Drunkle "the Karen" Thinskin? Well, because without his purposeful pretense, he cannot make himself a "victim"! LOL

What rule has he not changed or even proposed changing?
You’ve shown a complete disdain for posted rules in the past. Why so much whining about an issue that has nothing to do with any rule now?

You're free to deny you set up the system this way, Damocletus.

Hide behind all the verbiage you like, but everyone can see why you are pushing this change now: Your MAGAt friends are victims and you want to protect them just like you protected Legina from mean ol' Dutch. :rofl2: :ROFLMAO: :rofl2:

So far it is a tie, and a group that loves walnuts and leftover chips with oxidized guacamole.

lol. <smh>... Drunkle Thinskin... conservative, when it comes to his negrep...

Seriously, you are the whiniest... It's astounding. Everything is a "rule"... Each step taken to improve how the site works is somehow a "rule" and "against" the Thinskin... even if it isn't anything anyone has done and just a question... It somehow is "against" the good old Drunkle...

No porn.
"12(a) - No Porn. This is not a porn site. It will be deleted. If it is constant you will likely lose access to the board. The board is for debate not sexual content. This includes nude photos and links to such as well as graphic stories of sexual encounters. This is a politics site, not a site for sexual gratification."

I would show ya where ya did that, but like it says in the rules, it was deleted. Because your porn posts violated the rules.

The goal is interaction, you get to express how much you like or dislike the other person's post. Since the interaction is happening should it all be positive points? I can create more "reactions", and I think it may stop those who think these points can be spent like cash from constantly reacting...

Ya know, this was done @ USMB, all reactions except 1-2 merit positive points now.
Maybe even only 1. I wasn't onboard with that, but they did it anyway.
Shiet, Earl gave me like 250 STFUs, and I didn't complain to the mods, because I knew they'd take it away, but somebody else he did the same thing to did, and they took it away. :(
It is what it is. :dunno:
Earl was just trying to find himself. It's similar to what's going on here.
They're just trying to find themselves. 😆

How much fun is this ^ to watch?:corn:

Not sure whether to classify this as a whinefest or a meltdown.



 
If Damo made all reactions positive, there would be a lot of this from those votes in the middle people:

@TOP would probably be #1 rated poster here. :blowup:
