Better off not to continue the chat with someone that gave you the anti as nothing good can come of it anywho. Its almost like a mirc channel with all Ops a good formula for a meltdown.

The idea behind this - as I see it - is as a deterant to people giving you negative antipoints for stupid reasons, so you can see who is doing so. Lets say 'fred' gives out lots of negative points for stupid reasons, then maybe something could be done about it. I think it will be a good addition to AO.
:hiphop:
I'm sorry I gave that impression :( , I was referring to 3aDmOnKeY's post on the handle-appending (and partially to Antihaxor's comment-required post). I fully agree with your original post, and apologize for further derailing your thread.Quote:

And you shat all over that.
I won't even go into the comments I've recieved just recently, but lets just say I'm getting followed around by someone who loves CP FW-1 and doesn't like the fact I don't use it or like it.........
Anyway. Antipoints don't mean crap cause the system is so badly abused.
I don't think that's what I (or Korp) meant. The point is you still *can't* see who is doing so, but it makes the possibility of a dialog while minimizing the possibility of major antipoint-wars.Quote:

Just what I meant. No harm, no foul, Terr.
I just thought "Wow! that looks familiar" and then I thought "Wasn't it Terr that said No."
Great idea Terr, and of course, you have me behind you 101%. But, I can almost put money down, that a new concept will errupt: AntiPoint Flaming. This will only lead to more arrogance and hate for one another. Yet, two intelectually 'advanced' [to the common member] could make something of it and start a private forum if further discussion is needed. And I'm sure there will be times when it will. Yet I hope this will not sooner-or-later evolove into where the giver's handle is givin while AntiPoints are being sent. That must be the line. I agree, it is 'nice' to know who gave you those positive with that rad comment, but honestly...
Yet, some ignorant, unneccissary flames will come up (as I mentioned). This is my main concern. Because I'll know I'll be in the midst of at least one. And while I do enjoy them (the educated flameing...the constructive flaming (criticsm)...that I love), I don't think that will happen any time soon with the new system.
Resistance if futile for those who oppose this idea, though, I beleive. I am certain this will go through. And I wish it the best of luck.
If someone is making negative comments about you, then I think to know who is doing so would be of benefit. Not because of giving negative points back, but from the view that it might stop getting negative antipoints in the first place for meaningless things. If someone does not like what your saying its their right to say 'no your wrong', but to do so in anonymity leads to petty antipoint use. But if the sender of antipoints knew that their name would be added, then giving antipoints for pointless reasons might decease.Quote:

I couldn't agree more that minimally the name of the person leaving the antipoint needs to be listed. I've already recieved my first neg and I have no clue why. My best guess is they didn't like my trying to dechipher what the original poster meant. Who knows? But how can I correct myself if I have no idea what irritated the person bad enough to leave me a negative antipoint?
Argh..
So?
*smiles*i like this idea of begin able to reply to antipoints would be nice to be able to post thanks or ask about comments for greater expansion on them. Hope jp considers this though i can see that it could get abused but then it could have great gains as well.

i have to agree with that... it seems that we cant ask questions to posters without being told were posting nonsenseQuote:
