Stop Neg Repping People For No Reason

[Ionic7]

I was reading through some threads today and I saw an enormous amount of people with -1 or -2 rep on their post and it was a helpful post, someone asked what the contract between a patient and cg was and get negged 2 times, I know there was a thread made about the rep system but it seems to have fluttered away, just please stop and use it seriously, Grow up and only use it when it is really needed not when you do not agree with someones post or do not like the person this is just getting ridiculous.

[phaquetoo]

does it realy matter what your rating is? not every one agrees with each other on here, we all do agree that weed should be legal! other than that we are all individuals and some people just like to give neg reps. I dont give any reps neg or poss, If I was to give a poss it would have to be a real good comment,,I realy dont care if you neg rep me, I dont care if im in the pos or neg on my profile. since I have been on here my rep has been like a yo yo and I dont give a phaq!

 

Peace!

The rating system is useless and everyone knows that so just don't worry too much about it. It's a gradeschool idea. Actually it's worse. It's like gradeschool kids being allowed to give eachother stars rather than the teacher giving out the stars. So that means cliques run wild and people will rep based on whether their coffee was bad that morning. What's worse is that the mods can't be repped even though some of them can get pretty abrasive at times.

I think sometimes it's a one-man virtual gang signing in with different IDs to harass someone they have no business harassing. That is plain abuse of the system.

People will always find a reason. If you have an opposing opinion, offer an alternative viewpoint, misspelled a word, someone is having a bad day and needs to lash-out. You just have to walk in stay in line and walk signal file.

 

Heck I received a neg for canceling a meeting. It would have been better if the person who did so had asked how I was feeling, then offered to host. BUT life on this board is what it is.

I feel that way too........

 

IDK about smartestmanalive, (I've seen things like that happen too) but.......

 

I totally believe that there are a few people on here with multiple ID's.

 

Some quite respected...................

 

 

 

We can have different opinions, that isn't a reason to neg someone. Express your opinion! Not Neg them!

 

I can't remember ever negging someone, but if I did, it would only be if someone is just being a total @ss!

I think the only way a negative rep can hurt you is if you give it a moments thought. Don't waste your precious time, the one thing we can't buy more of, trying to understand the motives of such folks. Agree that they disagree and move on. If you let their words in, and they have a negative effect on you, their goal is achieved. Remember, you can choose to not let people's words affect you. All you have to do is know that they're only words. Their power lies inside you, you can choose to feed the seed planted by someone else, the seed of hate and darkness. Or, you can say to hell with them they have no control over you, smile and have a better day.

I know it's not as easily done as said (or typed), but with practice it becomes easier. To succeed we must recover quickly, not pause and be distracted by the sight-seers along the way. Enjoy the journey, but have a direction, and let no one stray you from your course.

Hmmmmm~~Kinda like the African Proverb I have in my signature, "It's not what you call me, but what I answer to."

Definitely.

Physical oppression is easier to spot than psychological. Many people seem to incorporate psy-ops into their very being. Living a lie, creating chaos in their wake. We need them. It's a duality thing kinda I guess. Without the darkness there is no light. Vice versa. Embrace your enemies. Love them. In the end, the very end, what really matters? How well of a fight you put up? How many of those gentlemen you took with you? Sounds great while we're alive, but perhaps there's more to it all...

I sure as hell don't know, but still thinking... perhaps I need to medicate . lol

What do you think of a Membership Steering Committee to help our well intentioned all volunteer Mods better relate to the Members?

O no, I totally agree, we could be getting a bit deep here, but.......

 

Yeah, everything has it's opposite. Also, People get their energy from other people by what is called a "power struggle". There are 4 "personality types" (the method we use to get energy from others when we don't have enough of our own) 1. Poor me 2. Aloof 3. Interrogator 4. Intimidator.

Most people use any mix of these methods to pull energy from someone else. It is why one person usually feels emotionally whipped after an argument, or why you may dread that long phone call to your aunt. Because of the methods people use to fulfill their own energy void. Leave the one being drained, exhausted! It isn't even a conscious thing. People don't go around (usually) cognitively manipulating others. They just lash out, and the cycle begins.

Anyhoo~~~~The best defense is to not allow them to drain you. Sometimes, the ones that are really bad are known as energy vampires. Or Toxic personalities.

 

Either way, to NOT engage is your best line of defense!

Or perhaps... open yourself up completely to "love," or whatever one needs to call it. Thus creating a channel of "spiritual energy" for lack of clearer terms, allowing the sapper to get as much as they need. It seems to require a bit of unblocking, so to speak of one's own pathways.

If "energy healing" (again a broad term used intentionally) is in fact real, both parties benefit as long as the agent does not impede the flow.

Call me crazy, but I'm starting to see real change in my own life, in part due to another level of clarity so to speak, assisted by medical cannabis.

I agree with Ron. I don't see a lot of people here volunteering to help. Please remember these Mods are volunteers. How about a thread to recruit MORE volunteers? We can ALL do something,even if we are house bound.... if you have a PC,then you can do something. Today I am writing to Macomb County Sheriff Mark Hackel and asking him his stand on these raids by Bouchard. Hackel is running for Macomb County Executive next month. (Whatever the hell that job is) He has been silent on this issue,and I want to know his position. If you guys have noticed,Macomb County has seemed to stay out of this so far. Nothing,especially FREEDOM comes free.

[Guest finallyfree09]

anybody ever notice that ALMOST EVERY TIME "marijuana ranch" makes a post he gets a neg rep? seriously... almost EVERY time.

 

i don't think i have ever seen anything from ron that deserves a neg rep but he seems to keep getting them.

[Guest Marywanna]

Yeah I have noticed that too. Hey Ron,you on somebodys poop list or something???

i dont care for the rep system... I am not even sure I have ever given a neg rep but I know I have given out alot of +'s

This could work too, but the person (giving the energy) would have to totally prepare daily for others to drain their energy.

 

You would have to tap in mentally to whatever higher power you believe in, to recharge. On a regular basis.

 

However, what you are describing, is sorta how I "pray" for someone. Although, in your scenario, they are draining you and you allow it. I sorta visualize giving them that energy, without, or with them participating.

 

I completely believe in energy healing. You can feel the heat pulsating off your hands.

 

We are composed of electricity, and water 2 things that don't supposedly mix...............

 

And yet, when things are running smoothly our bodies are amazing specimens of grace and beauty. But, when they are not running smoothly we feel pain. And, thus the cycle of energy stealing begins.

 

However, I believe you are on the right track! Keep it up!

Its ironic to see certain peeps commenting in here but I totally agree..Just because someone doesnt agree with what you say dont negative rep them it is sooooo spineless and immature. POS REP FOR STARTING THIS THREAD!!!!!!!!

I agree with you...I surely don't want someone thinking I give bad advice or am just a dick on here. I am trying to help EVERYONE and anyone that has questions. I want to learn as well. I think the rating is good to have so we know who gives good feedback. I have been a victim of this...please help my rating. Try and read my posts...I think I give good info and answers....and thank you Ionic for posting this as a concern...because it is for me too.

I know some people don;t think the rating matters but it does to some people...
