If you say something bad about UFC, you get huge pos rep, if you say something bad about strikeforce, you get a huge neg rep.

My experiments show that this is how it works.

My detective skills show me that you've made several negative remarks towards the Strikeforce welterweight champion, Nick Diaz, in regards to him refusing a fight with Bully Beatdown's Jason 'Mayhem' Miller.

Not that I have done this, but I would say to say some nice things about Strikeforce, Jake Sheilds, Nick Diaz, etc from time to time, and eventually the monster pos rep will be there.

Full green doesn't mean full rep. Put your mouse over the rep to see what the rank is. You can find a list of the ranks in a sticky thread at the top of this section.

As for the reps going away when a thread is removed or not going away when someone is banned, I'm not sure how that would be fixed. It would be nice to see the rep system get a major overhaul, like more bars or add stars or something like that, but it's been brought up in the staff section multiple times and it comes down to it being very complicated and difficult to get done.

Ya i tried a couple time to become a lifetime member but it says my server wont allow this process. I am on my work computer. ugh. I looked back at my posts that got negative rep and I didn't think I was being hostile or in left field in my opinions. I guess some people will neg rep you just for having a different opinion. I will hopefully work my way back up to green.

You don't deserve the rep you got... Someone heavy hit you good because I have a great rep (2.7 million) and I hit you green 3 times and your still red.

That is just kinda the way the board is set up. We seldom delete threads though unless they are spam or straight up trolling. We try to lock instead which is something I can remind the staff about.

2. Banned posters rep still sticks around, half of my neg's are from posters who aren't around anymore. One was from someone who didn't even post and was just a sockpuppet(I think I know what poster it was to).

Honestly though the reps form "puppet" accounts or neg reps from them are completely meaningless. If you started an account today and have the rep you started with it would take like a million of your reps to equal on of mine. They are likely doing single or double digit damage to your rep points. Its really minor.

It definitely takes away from rep. You're either red or green... the amount appears to be moot. Kinda lame.

There are different levels but the problem is that because peoples rep strengths are directly effected by a users level we experience inflation.

Staff are discouraged from negging members it does happen but I doubt that would be the case.

Ya looks like I just got hit by someone with a lot of rep. I am trying to buy the lifetime membership for a couple days now but it keeps saying error when I click the link. Can a moderator help me out with this.

Thanks

Nevermind I figured it out. I got hit by Rival hard it seems like when I was first posting. Guess i pissed you off. Sorry.
