    The best path is to post bad jokes in the D&D and Hangout. Get to it!

    So I earned a "negative rep" because I said "all you haters can suck on it!" because I was excited that McGrady was back?

    I didn't use explicit language or refer to a specific individual.

    I'm curious as to who gave me a negative rep. I'd like to give you a high five for your awesome moderating skills.

    someone would have reported that post and one of the garm mods would have to give you the negative rep.

    not really sure why it not really a bad post IMO but i can see why someone could get mad at it. I am pretty sure whenever someone reports a post if they do not put in a good enough reason as to why (if its not obvious from the post itself) the mods probably ignore it.

    maybe someone thought it was gloating? i mean the article Clutch wrote was more about how tmac turned his back on the city not necessarily that he wouldnt play again


    i guess my bottom line answer: beats me

    lol I just want to know what was so offensive that it justified a bad rep?

    I could completely understand if I specifically used another members name or used explicit language but come on, "all you haters can suck it!"? Give me a break...

    Guys just checking...If I see nothing on the front page of my user cp, does that mean I have no rep yet?

    Been away from the site for quite a while due to commitments, so this whole rep thing is still pretty new to me.

    you got a gray square under your name, that means you dont have rep.
    when you got a green square(s) you got repped.

    Expect 5+ people to rep you when you show pictures, share a Rockets' experience (see YoYo in Vegas)

    4 people will rep you for either liking or "hating" McGrady and you make a comment they agree with depending on what side of the fence you are on.

    3 people will rep you when you are the first to post an article that has great information. Saying "thanks"

    2 people will rep you for if you spend time stating what the party lines are in regards to the views of McGrady. Both of those people though have rep'd you too much and they need to spend more time spreading it around before those rep points show up...

    A single person will not rep you for posting insider information because they will doubt what you are saying. I have been there. See Clutch and Doc Rocket's rep as well.

    Just argue with me, that is how a lot of people get repped up.

    ;)

    Anyway, you are a very good poster, you will get there.....

    I would post more often in the GARM, but most of the posts are crap. Like the whole Tracy-only fans drama.
