View Full Version : Green/Red Rating System

The practice of rating other people's posts has got to go.

It only exacerbates the infantile element that is already too well represented on this site. I cannot imagine taking the time to "neg spek" somebody and write a comment along with it to boot. I can't remember, perhaps I have actually done this once or twice during the three years I have been on this sight. If I have, shame on me.

Here are some of the brillant comments that have been attached to some of the neg speks I have received..."vg", "nut sammich" "anti-sooner f*g" "ha ha, now you will never get green". Sadly, these were made by grown men. Frighteningly, these same men probably have the right to vote in elections.

For those of you who disagree with my posts, "neg speking" me doesn't bother me and confirms my belief that your mom/dad didn't give you enough gold stars on the refrigerator when you were a kid.

So if having a terminally red rating doesn't bother me, why write this? Because if we get rid of the system, my hope is that many of the grown children were so revere it will get bored and go to another site, thereby raising the level of discussion and debate for those who remain.

I just about never neg folks mostly because if I hate a post, I'm loathe to waste any more of my time on it.

That being said, this is the gayest thread ever.

You know if you don't like it then just turn off the reputation feature, or just don't look at it. No one is making you go to your control panel and look at your spek.

I stay red at least half the time. I don't even look at it and in fact don't know how to neg or find it. If they have all this time on their hands, let them neg me all they want. It doesn't change my thoughts, post or life so no big deal!

d00d,

You come on here with your 25 posts a year, of which about half are arguments with other SF posters about their opinions and the other half is grammar and spelling smack:

Go learn the difference between "you're" and "your" before blessing us with more of your considerable insight.

There are plenty of other message boards that don't have the spek feature that you can go visit for a few months a year and start all the fights you want...or, you can just stay here and be red.You won't get a "neg" from me. You won't get a "heh" either.

Is that okay?

I don't know why I keep clicking on this thread. I guess I'm stupid.

1) As a general rule, most of us seem to like the spek system. As such, simple majority opinion is enough to keep it in place.

2) If you really want to make some reasoned argument against spek, you'll need to be green first -- otherwise, everyone will assume you're just complaining about your own red-spek status.

3) Direct attacks on other posters will get you banned. More important (to me) is that you don't need to make them. No matter how much I disagree with someone, I see no reason to make it personal. Nothing improves once you do.

You're new here, so I'm sure you're unaware that this topic has been brought up before and by equally new people who have started threads that have gotten similar responses that this one's received thus far.

The end result is that a mod gets ticked and locks the thread and nothing about spek changes. I am not complaining, I am just telling you how it's been and how this will end.

i love the rating system, the comments people leave when they neg you are hilarious. For instance, JLEW negs every post I make, but he never spells anything correctly on any of them. It's a lot of fun keeping track of which posts have the most misspellings in them.

ck sooner tosses out a lot of red too, but he does great work on the recruiting board, so it's worth it. Also, he can spell (aside from the whole you're/your thing that he can't figure out.)

No I can't. I got banned for telling a guy to kill himself. Well, those weren't my words, but they were interpreted that way... which is bullsh*t. How could someone think that just because I told a dude to go into his garage, close the door, get in his car, start it, and then take a nap...? It's ridiculous the way that some people twist the language around...

For the record, the argument was about Longar Longar. This guy thought he was going to be an All-American. I thought that he was a guy who never improved while he was at OU. Sure, he got better-"looking," in a basketball sense... but his numbers never improved more than marginally, meaning that the guy was arguing with me about whether or not a guy who turned the ball over almost three times per game, couldn't shoot 50% from the field, and had career averages of 7.2 points and 4.3 boards per game was going to make the All-American team.

Personally, I think that I was in the right on that one...

10/2/2009, 07:07 PM
And, to save some poor soul the pain before they go and look at his averages and go, "Hey, he averaged blah, blah per game his freshman year, and then blah, blah per game his senior year... that Skull's all kinds of wrong, and I'm going to tell him so," I could give a sh*t about his per game averages. ESPECIALLY when comparing year to year, it's a lot better, especially in regards to player improvement, to look at per-minute averages...

...and the fact that he got WORSE from the field every season, not better...

If a guy makes a difference whether you win the Whole Schabang once you reach the Final Four...then I'll really talk him up. Blake Griffin and his Bro gave it their all trying to win for the Sooners....Longar Longar....not so much.
