"Would you consider giving someone a negative rep for selling something harassment ?"
Do you mean, that people spam you trying to sell shit?
Damn, I hate those telemarketeers!!!
I hate them, IRL and I hate them ingame!
When I get them on the phone, I use that moment to vent some steam. Always feels very relaxing afterwards
Ingame I just ignore them.
On pcf, I just put them on ignore if they keep doing it.
No need to neg rep.
Weird.
The way I read it, it seems that CozMoDan was selling something and ended up getting neg repped for it and thus came asking if its considered as harassment.
Sorry, I was trying to sell something in the selling forum and got a neg rep and I am not sure why other than he does not like me. Seems a bit childish as I am not making some kind of statement just selling
This sounds like a clear violation of the reputation system.
There is a "Report Reputation Comment" feature that should be used if you feel that a reputation was given inappropriately. We will then investigate the comment and remove it if inappropriate, which will restore any lost rep points.
Just have to send a PM to 711 with the subject:
“Report Reputation Comment”
I received a -Rep point in this thread from my secret admirer too.
Notes
All reputation comments are subject to the same rules as public posts on the forum. This means you should not flame, insult or threaten another member with your reputation comments. There seems to be a recent trend toward very hostile reputation comments. Such behavior will no longer be tolerated. Forum admins (MindBuster and myself) have the ability to review repuation comments left by members if a complaint is made. If any member feels they have been attacked in such a manner, please send a Private Message to MindBuster or 711 with the offending member's name, and we will investigate and take appropriate action.
Moderators and admins also make use of the reputation system, so members should not be surprised to see both positive or negative reputation comments from forum staff.
It would have been me that Geo was referring to.
Geo I gave it to you because you were Virtue Signalling. By all means give a + reputation, but its not a good look to proclaim your good deeds loudly at the marketplace as it were.
If you think it was unfair by all means run & complain. I gave you the reason for the - rep I gave you.
