Reputation issue and user conduct.

*Indeed! I agree with Flippy somewhat that responding only stokes the flames even more. I have seen your posts while browsing and I will say that it's seems its a bit difficult for you to 'let it go' per say; which causes a lot of your statements to come off antagonistic as you keep pushing. This will lead others to respond in turn and just cause it to spiral.
*I'd say just relax and take a breath! These internet points on a niche part of the internet means nothing. If multiple people disagree with you that's fine, just step away and leave it alone. Even if you think you have the best way to do things it's not worth your headspace being mad about it if others disagree. Sometimes there might be a good reason for people to disagree that you might not think about, or it's something that means more to others than it does to you (or vice versa).
*I have a close friend on the spectrum and it is hard for them to understand other people's perspectives. They tend to get mad when other's don't agree with their ideologies, and they end up going into flame wars. There are many reasons for people to feel or say things that you might not understand, either for very good reasons, or just to try and egg you on on purpose so you get mad and make a fool of yourself.
*Just remember, when you feel yourself having the urge to come back and keep defending yourself, just breath and leave it alone. It's okay! Don't let minor inconveniences overwhelm you. -
They have descended into madness

@Flippy many replies I get ARE antagonist energy...... Just look at half of what @shadowangelking posts, especially on here where none of that is helpful or wanted. And I get downvoted, lol.
@CoolSkeleton95 If what you say is true "These internet points on a niche part of the internet means nothing" Then why should I stop? It's not that I am being flippant in my responses warranting forceful removal from the platform, it's that because of my persistence that I am getting downvoted. The fact that people downvote me for not leaving something alone while they do the same is the ultimate irony here.
If you didn't want to argue, then don't argue and leave it, but don't downvote me for doing something you are doing as well. I am fine with discussing it as long as it stays on topic, that's why I don't mind continuing. It's not about rep at this point. It is about continuing to show the double standard of some people here.I can get -4 rep for being nice, and someone can get +5 rep for being a jerk. That is the problem I see. It goes beyond who is actually right and wrong, that stopped being relevant as soon as people started downvoting to silence people.

@PrIsMaTiSm *Oh dear, I was trying to be a little deeper about it but it didn't quite hit.
*The bottom line about this situation is when you don't back down from things like trying to help when nobody asked for the help, especially when it comes off as nagging, you annoy others a lot. You were caviling, which caused you to get downvoted, people argued against it (and some made jokes), which caused them to get upvoted. People tend to upvote the things they laugh with, or agree with. (The other downvotes on your unrelated comments were probably leftovers from the argument you already had in the same sub.)
(I also don't see the double standard you mentioned here, as this is an issue I've only seen with you. Every blatantly rude comment towards an innocent member I've seen have been downvoted like -11, which has only been a couple. Every other nice comment gets upvoted.)
*When you're disliked you're not being conspired against or being harassed by the evil forum goblins. Step back and think why this is being caused in the first place. Maybe your good intentions were unintentionally stepping on others toes, and you built a reputation from that.
*That's all the advice I can give and will be the last I personally mention of this.
As another random fellow member of the internet I cannot force you to see other's perspectives or show how your words effect people. That's something you have to kind of learn by how people respond to your actions. -
You are probably right. You are persistent in justifying that your actions are right, while everyone else is wrong and/or their actions is not to your liking.
You have 2 post here that is upvoted, I don't see that as silencing. People are using it to express whether they agree or disagree with what is being said.
You think you are doing something helpful even though you were told by multiple people that it isn't. Instead of improving on their advise, disagreed with it even after multiple conclusions were provided by others. Making it seem like the forum should be catered to you, and giving off a bad impression of yourself.
You are right, you shouldn't stop. No one is stopping you because they can't, the same way you can't stop others. However the consequences that come with your actions will be based solely on your decision, and that applies to everyone.
If this has gone beyond reps and you can't control people, then arguing will not further any positive development.

Hi ya'll im here just to get the most rep in this thread. Rep me up!

@PrIsMaTiSm I see you are not over this so I will put my hat in the ring once more. You say you are over the point thing yet, are envious when I get points cause
"Just look at half of what shadowangelking posts, especially on here where none of that is helpful or wanted. And I get downvoted, lol." Is a clear sign you are not over this.
If you want to label or antagonize me, I'm fine with that but don't be talking shit unless you are ready to see what others feel about it also.

Honestly I found this thread due to often seeing people getting told off for bumps or arguments in the comments of looking for requests about you calling people out. I understand someone bumping every 5 minutes like it was at one point can be a bit bothersome as its hard to see what new assets people are looking for without having to scroll past all the bumps from one user. However, someone posting every few hours to each day isn't as much of an issue in my eyes as it still leaves room to see new posts. I think for now if you want to build your rep its best just to keep your head down help with looking for assets where you can. It's not worth arguing with people in this post as it only ruins your reputation more which you seem keen on protecting. As already mentioned by others people don't like to be modded for things by someone who isn't a mod it's a bit like being called out by the teachers pet you just end up disliking them. Not trying to insult just saying it for what it is, probably best to lay low and stop engaging with people here as it only gets worse. Hope everyone enjoys their day and makes some cool avatars!

I will make a poll in updates about disabling downvotes and people can vote.
-
@SpookyVersace I think that would be a good idea as it gets rid of the tension. However downvotes are still useful for individuals who may be a bit unsavoury or up to no good on the forums as it makes others aware to be careful when dealing with those individuals. I suppose reporting is a thing but theres not much that can be done if a person is doing something that isn't exactly against the rules but not really liked by people either. However it does seem that downvoting does seem to cause issues as seen in this thread as some people can get too invested in their reputation on the forums not that its a bad thing to like having a good reputation.

Please discuss this in the new topic that I have made. Will be a lot easier to follow along.

took the time to read this thread. stop arguing with everybody what's your issue man? over half of the people here have given you solid good advice (keep your head down for while, stop acting like a mod when you are not one, help others in forum posts when they need it, etc.) and you literally push back on them and even argue. THAT'S why you're getting downvoted. you do not seem like an enjoyable person to be around. it's insane to me it has gotten to a point that spooky felt the need to bring up removing reputation. stop modding people around when you are, in fact, not a mod. stop fighting with people who were just trying to help you and the problems you created over your own actions. and just a suggestion: maybe follow the advice you were asking for and was given? by numerous people? because what is the point of this thread given you have not taken a single persons advice yet so far and have continued to do nothing but say the same things over and over and argue? glad to see over 60% agree in the thread spooky linked people agree to keep it. and surprise! the people disagree with you in that thread too. i still see you around after all this time STILL complaining about reputation. please stop. it isn't changing. most of us don't WANT it to change, as proven in multiple forum threads. the reputation system is not the problem, you are.
