Yes, this is early, but I am going to be gone most of the day tomorrow.

People who rep you just to tell you to rep them back. Tacky. Very tacky.

I suggest you advise 2goldens if this happens to you. And also advise 2goldens if someone leaves you a nasty message in the rep box.

Not only do I hate it, but it is against T.o.S. I REPORT IT EVERY TIME! Again, that is because it is against T.o.S. It is very tacky and I will NOT rep them back if they say that. You don't beg for reps, it is a privilege. Begging just isn't right. This forum is not all about reps, people need to realize that.

Yes, it is a pet peeve of mine too Alice.

So much agreed Alice. I've DM'd offenders. It's just plain rude.

Sunnydee · 09-13-2009, 06:55 PM

Good one, Alice! I think this bothers a lot of people.

(I'm sorry, I still eat my pizza with a knife and fork which I know bugs you.)

Really. Have you ever gotten a nasty rep? That is really wrong. Why would someone waste their time? That would really tick me off and upset me. I say "kill them with kindness" lol.

I know reps are a privilege and I love to spread the love but that's because I like you guys.

What about the people who start threads for themselves? That to me seems very tacky. Like "hey look I got a star". Very strange.

They are people who are probably just used to the whole "feedback" circle on eBay.

Oh yes, I have gotten nasty reps before. It's very childish and disgusting. Again, if you ever get a nasty rep or somebody begging for a rep in a rep, inform a moderator ASAP.

I just got a mean post. Will you all beat her up for me, lol?

Just recently I had two people ask me in their reps, to rep them back. They are nOoBs, obviously not familiar with all the TOS. We, as seasoned vets should set them straight tactfully, and be patient.

I've received a nasty, unsigned rep a while back. I just laughed it off. I did get an insulting rep just last week, that really hurt my feelings.................but hey, what ya gonna do???

Just pull up your big girl panties and deal with it!!!

If I could trade my reps in for cash I could understand it. The way I see it if I take all my reps and $1.00 I can get anything off of the $1 menu
