Jack White Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Mr. Simkin has determined that JACK WHITE HAS A BAD REPUTATION and says so on my "profile". This is a violation of forum rules that no ad hominem attacks be made on members. This should be removed immediately! Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a violation of forum rules that no ad hominem attacks be made on members. This should be removed immediately! Jack Hey Jack, That doesn't sound like John Simkin. Though he is responsible for what is posted, especially under the terms of the moderators, it just doesn't seem like like he would do that sort of thing. It's not his style. Now I don't know about Andy, who I know doesn't like you, but I don't think Simkin would do something like that even if he didn't like you. I can't wait to get to the bottom of this, though.

Evan Burton Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Jack, that's other people rating your posts. Have a look at the bottom right hand corner of other people's posts. You'll see there is a + and a - button. If you think the post is good, then you can choose to rate it by giving it a +. If you disagree with the post, you can rate it with the - button. You can rate a post only once, and with only + or - 1. You can give up to 5 positive and 5 negative ratings per day. After you rate a post, you can see the total positive or negative rating, based on how members have rated that post. As people rate your posts, you develop a 'reputation'. If most people rate your posts positively then you'll get a 'positive reputation', etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BK Bill...Simkin is responsible for this forum. That he allows enemies to anonymously make personal attacks is reprehensible. I am sure all of my attacks came from Len Brazil, Chief Burton, Craig Lamsoon, and others...AND SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED. SIMKIN SHOULD REMOVE THIS FEATURE FROM THE BOARD!

Jack White Posted August 8, 2010 Author Share Posted August 8, 2010 I suggest that everyone check their REPUTATION in their profile, and protest this feature like I have. Tell us how your reputation is rated, and whether you consider it a personal attack. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Burton Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 It's not a personal attack, Jack. It's how others rate your posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hogan Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 It's not a personal attack, Jack. It's how others rate your posts. Evan Burton has a 41 rating (excellent) - by far the highest I saw in a cursory search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Burton Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 BTW - you cannot rate your own posts. It's what other members think of your posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure your rating was very well-deserved. I wonder who is in second place, and how far behind you they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack White Posted August 8, 2010 Author Share Posted August 8, 2010 I protest the continued ad hominem attacks by those who disagree with a member's postings. I request that this feature be deleted. It is not a useful feature and provides an anonymous tool for enemies to make false attacks. Of course we could use it to report negatively about every posting of Burton, Lamson, Colby, et al. But that would only highlight the negativity of this feature. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
