How many different members do you have to give rep comment before you can give it to the same person again?

Assalaamu Alaikum

I don't think we have restriction like that here. You can't give rep to the same post. But I won't be too sure.

[Iqra]

when I click on the reputation button, this message comes up:

You must spread some reputation around before giving it to name again.

[Iqra]

How many different members do you have to give rep comment before you can give it to the same person again?

Answer = 19! and you (or maybe just me) can only give rep comment to 10 people in 24hours.

[I_Am_A_Hermit]

Answer = 19!

seriously sis?

We have to pos rep people 19 times before we can give it to the same person?

I don't like that.

[Iqra]

I don't like that.

well I have too but I'm not sure if its the same for everyone. I was reading about the rep system and it varies. It can be from 5 to 100. I think it depends on the number of active users.

[Um Ismail]

question, how does rep on a particular post get to be EVEN, when there are only two choices, "approve" and "disapprove"?

Sorry sis, I don't understand what you mean by 'even'.

[Skillganon]

Maybe she is asking for a neutral rep?

[UmmAbdulMalikStorm]

What's this rep business and how do you give points?

[Skillganon]

Ok you see the balancing scale on the top right corner of my post?

Yes click on that, making sure the approved box is checked, press add to reputation. You can leave a comment aslo.

[UmmAbdulMalikStorm]

Ahhhh.

Jazakallah khair..and for that I shall proceed to give you a point.

[Um Ismail]

what i mean is for one my posts it reads "your reputation on this point is even", I thought it can only be approved or disapproved of. So how does it get to be even, could it be that two different people repped me for that post, one approved and the other disapproved? Weird...not a big deal though, just curious

[Nu7]

I get rep'ed for the weirdest things. I even got rep'ed for a "lol". Alhamdulillah atleast it was a positive.

[Um Ismail]

neg reps and pos reps are always going to be there, I don't think one can avoid it. I haven't been checking my reps in a looong time because I did not want to be bothered, but the other day I accidentally saw them and I'm not concerned whether or not it was a neg rep, I just wonder how one can give an "even" rep to someone on their post...

[I_Am_A_Hermit]

Personally, I don't see the benefit of this system. All it does is create unnecessary suspicion, and a platform for cowards to say things.

Ok Here is what I got from the FAQ.

Reputation may be positive Positive Reputation Icon , negative Negative Reputation Icon or neutral Neutral Reputation Icon. Negative reputation may only be given if the administrator has enabled this. Neutral reputation is only given when the person giving reputation does not meet the criteria set by the administrator to affect someone else's reputation.

Ok, I am not saying that you mean me, I'm only reiterating that I am asking HOW it is possible to give a neutral rep point (reading through posts it was explained already,i.e. the persons' comments do not "qualify" as valid basically). So I was curious about the technicality of it. Believe me, if the neg rep points bug me so much I will say so.

I got given a positive rep for taking a mocking swipe at another brother...the repper thought it was funny.

Also, I think this rep. system is greatly abused. Negative reps are heaped onto a person that you just don't like and when they come out with good stuff, justice (in the form of positive reps) isn't done (due to personal/ideological vendettas). I'm thinking of the two brothers we have on this forum with red reps, may both be forgiven for their 'little shameful behaviour in the past'.

[Turaabie]

Positive Rep = RED
Negative Rep = GREEN

nearly all members can give Neg/Pos reps out...

However, ONLY LIMITED members can give neutral reps (meaning they have no affect etc) not because of anything special but because they do not have enough threads/posts on the forum or they have only recently joined the forum etc. Basically it means they have limited power to do damadge!

It seems you have to meet the following criteria in order to "give" a neutral"

Neutral reputation is only given when the person giving reputation does not meet the criteria set by the administrator to affect someone else's reputation

I agree mostly with this, but point is akhi, people do take it to heart, as most comments do tend to have nothing to do with justice, they are very malicious in nature, so naturally as Muslims we feel hurt, that other Muslims are doing such things, especially anonymously. I don't think you can expect people to dismiss their feelings, we're all different. But the main principle I do agree with, we should not let it get to us so much.

Akhee al-kareen, it makes one feel quite dejected to be so shamelessly and cowardly put down, especially since one is not at fault. Some brothers and sisters (mostly the moderators) who have genuine concern for the well being of their Muslim brother (well at least some of them) give constructive negative rep. They tell one why he is being reprimanded. Most of these other members are quite vicious. Often they leave a negative rep. without any comment, leaving one feeling quite vengeful. This is, I believe, the start of the serial neg. repper, who then goes on a rep spree. It's usually the innocent non-combatant who take the brunt.

On other forums there is an option for a user to personally turn off his reputation level. His rep color becomes black (as opposed to green or red), and he can't receive any rep after that. Would be quite useful.

What's funny is that those words are coming from you! While you go to Hermit's profile and acts as her solicitor (as if all people do here is go read her comments [just comes to show how much these forums mean to you, eh?]) and for what? Because I advised her to stop complaining and repeating what AZ said another thread here and there and go on about people neg repping her?

Says You in her profile messaging section:
subhan'Allah, this thing is still going on. I don't think sister Hermit is necessarily saying "this or that person accused me", I think she feels the same way sis Umm Ahmed felt when Abu Maysara commented on her PMing him. Notice how he did NOT say anything specific about the PM, he did NOT say that sis Umm Ahmed SAID anything inappropriate per say, yet everyone understood certain implications from his words, and rightfully so, because it is often the UNSAID that leads to assumption. As far as i remember everyone was upset about his comments, since they COULD cast suspicions on the decency and chastity of our sister Umm Ahmed. Likewise, the PUBLIC comments as to WHY posts and threads were deleted etc, COULD lead to assumptions about the decency of sister Hermits' character. Aside from this issue, there was the issue of certain comments exchange on sister Hermits' profile. The reason why sister Hermit requested a mod to delete those comments on her personal page is because I MYSELF advised her in PM that she do so, although I believed that the comments exchange was innocent in nature, there was nothing "inappropriate" per say in them, but I could see how people would criticise it given that lesser has happened BEFORE them for which she was criticised.

I hope people are able to draw parables between this and what happened recently to sister Umm Ahmed, and then everyone should understand insha'Allah how such things make a Muslimah feel.

- the issue with her is no where near what happened with Umm Ahmed and Abu Maysara.
- there are numerous people that have complained about the messages in her profile (who contrary to what you think, are brothers)
- regarding what you said about you knowing who's repped you, fyi: i haven't repped you once!

lastly, before you start going on about how i could've pm:ed you and advise you privately, i'm responding to you right here because you chose to write your messages and that^ in particular in her profile for public comsumption (don't start saying no no it's private unlike the main forums, even the way you wrote was as if you were addressing people), so here i am responding to you too.

What are you laughing at?



:D

This was a positive rep given unnecessarily. But since it was positive, you would only be warned without your rep powers taken away.

And Um Ismail, I think you are over-reacting. I cannot see any rep given to you (save the one above) which I would consider abuse of rep system.

Anyone else wants me to check their reps?

Check mine, check mine!!! :D

hearandobey;141217]What's funny is that those words are coming from you! While you go to Hermit's profile and acts as her solicitor (as if all people do here is go read her comments [just comes to show how much these forums mean to you, eh?]) and for what? Because I advised her to stop complaining and repeating what AZ said another thread here and there and go on about people neg repping her?

Goes to show that you do not realize that what I posted on her profile happened BEFORE you advised her here on this thread. So my comment there had NOTHING to do with what you said here, or with anything you said in general.




- the issue with her is no where near what happened with Umm Ahmed and Abu Maysara.

that is your opinion. I am entitled to mine.


- there are numerous people that have complained about the messages in her profile (who contrary to what you think, are brothers)

She was TOLD it was sisters, I did not "think" it was sisters baselessly.




- regarding what you said about you knowing who's repped you, fyi: i haven't repped you once!

Did I mention YOUR name anywhere? Or anyone elses for that matter? No, so why would you even bring yourself up?

lastly, before you start going on about how i could've pm:ed you and advise you privately, i'm responding to you right here because you chose to write your messages and that^ in particular in her profile for public comsumption (don't start saying no no it's private unlike the main forums, even the way you wrote was as if you were addressing people), so here i am responding to you too.

Look, moderate the forum, no need to moderate ME. The way you are adressing me after I stopped posting in this thread makes it look like you are purposely trying to instigate drama.

Assalamu alaykum

[Um Ismail]

And Um Ismail, I think you are over-reacting. I cannot see any rep given to you (save the one above) which I would consider abuse of rep system.

I stated on more then one occasion that I was curious about the technicality of an "even" rep. So beyond me clarifying that, there's not much else I can do, if people choose to believe that I am having such a huge problem with the negative rep points, well, that is their decision to make. Half of my posts are actually very lighthearted in nature, only I don't use lols and smileys with the oposite gender so I can see how one would assume something else from my words. Most of the time I say certina things in a dramatic way, such as some things I said in this thread, in order to highlight the pettiness of those who cry over every single negative rep comment.

Assalamu alaykum

['Abd al-Kareem]

That's a rep given unnecessarily. Morbius isn't a Muslim and he has every right to ask these questions! And we are supposed to be good representatives of Islam!
Akhi, check his post again:

"You need to establish Islam in your own lands and prove to me (and to the world, of course) that Islamic social system can still work in these modern times."

"..because right now you have a car whose parts fall off when you close the door..." (He's referring to Islam.)

He's being rude and arrogant as usual, as if the fate of Islam depends on whether or not we prove to him whatever it is he wants proven. And then he attempts to ridicule Islam and Muslims in his entire post. He deserved that negative rep, I don't know what you're talking about. Him being a kafir it's obvious that he doesn't believe in Islam. I wouldn't give him a negative rep just for that. But he doesn't have a right to be arrogant and attempt to mock our Deen, I don't care what religion he follows.

edit: Akhi, if I was after morbius just to give him a hard time, I could look through his posts and find sooooooo many that truly deserve negative rep and I could make a job out of that (Hey that sounds like a great idea...), so I don't think I would try to sneak around the system and give him a negative rep for the one or two posts that he might make that don't actually deserve one!

[Nu7]

So it was Skillagnon who gave me a bad rep? lol.

I see, well it's on like King Kong!!

[Umm Ahmed]

Check mine, check mine!!! :D

Yes we have seen yours .

[Abuz Zubair]

jund, you are over reacting to morbius's comments. Since he isn't a Muslim, he has the right to say to us: show us how your system works because I haven't seen it working anywhere, and he is right. None of us have seen it working yet, and we will iA soon see it working.

[Hamza]

yea chk mine pls. ta

you have never recieved a negative rep masha'allah

im sure i saw one? when the rep system was first introduced. but Ok thanks bro.

There's a difference akhi [between what we know he will say by default (being a kafir), and what is crossing the limit even for a kafir like himself]. Morpheus is rude and arrogant, any way you look at it.

Over-reacting? Allahul Musta'aan. If 'Umar (RA) was here I've no doubt in my mind that he would have sliced morbius's head clean off and no two rams would butt heads about it. But a negative rep point well-deserved is over-reacting. Don't defend this kaafir, he clearly hates Allah 'azza wa jall and His Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم) and you've allowed him to over-stay his visa here long enough. A kaafir with more posts than many of the Muslims here and his arrogant attitude has not left him. Allahul Musta'aan.

Vargkampf (http://forums.islamicawakening.com/showthread.php?t=15322) the self-confessed nationalist and socialist has much more respect than this clown.
George (http://forums.islamicawakening.com/showthread.php?p=137173#post137173) (aka 'godf') has much more respect, and some members treated him in a bad manner.

Check my rep history, have I ever given Vargkampf or George or even Claymore any negative rep just for kicks? Nah.

Anyway, like I said before I couldn't care less about the rep system. [But I am arguing this case because] I think you're being unfair in favor of the kafir morbius and this is clear to see for anyone with eyes. He should have been banned a long time ago: as soon as he decided to open his fat mouth to attempt to mock the Deen of Allah. But it's your forum, your decision. If it's for the sake of da'wah then at least let the other kuffar know that we do not tolerate any attempt to ridicule our Deen. The da'wah is for the sake of Allah in the hopes that Allah subhaanahu wa ta'aala will save him from Hellfire. He can ask whatever questions he wants, but if he cannot stay his tongue with the rude comments and insults then we will gladly inform him that he can go elsewhere to learn about Islam because the honour of our Deen is more important than his matter.

[Surat Qaaf 50:24] أَلْقِيَا فِي جَهَنَّمَ كُلَّ كَفَّارٍ عَنِيدٍ

May Allah make a mockery of that clown on the Day of Gathering as he attempted to mock our Deen in this dunya. O Muslims, say Aameen!!

[Abul Hasan]

Ameeeeen.

You hold a good argument akhee Jund al-Islam (maybe it just seems like that to me, because I've been saying the same as you for a while now).

[Abuz Zubair]

abbccdd could you plz stop spreading your unwanted love amongst the brothers and especially the sisters? This ain't some hippy forum, and it is abuse of the system.

[Abuz Zubair]

jund, morbius is arrogant no doubt, but you cannot start giving negative rep to every post he writes.

As far as this particular post is concerned, as a non-Muslim he has to right to ask questions about what we are advocating. It is quite natural for him to be cynical about what he doesn't believe in. He is just airing his opinion, and I don't think 'Umar would have reacted the way you are reacting.

And there is nothing wrong with defending a kafir if one thinks he has been wronged.

His argument is that Islam is outdated and doesn't suit our modern civilisation. This is the argument that needs to be refuted objectively and not with neg reps and insults.

If he doesn't accept the obvious truths then yes, go ahead tell him what he deserves to hear (or read) but before that, at least give him a chance.

Look at the Prophet SAW at Hudaybiya when the pagans refused to recognise him as the Messenger of Allah. The Prophet SAW didn't have any qualms about it because it is quite obvious that they don't recognise him as the Messenger, even though, all of it seemed quite insulting.

We need to control our emotions and think more from the head.

['Abd al-Kareem]

Akhi, like I said in my post above yours. It is known by default that he rejects the fact that Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) is the Messenger of Allah. Therefore we cannot consider that to be an offense. But his comment "...because right now you have a car whose parts fall off when you close the door..." in clear reference to Islam is enough to see his arrogant attitude. And he is not just criticizing the Muslims today, he is attempting to mock the Deen itself, which is clear if you read his posts.

And there is nothing wrong with defending a kafir if one thinks he has been wronged.Agreed.

...at least give him a chance.Hahaha, that guy has more posts than I do.

Just answer [for yourself, no need to post it] the following question akhi:
Has morpheus insulted Allah, His Deen, and His Messenger on your forum in the past? (Crossing the bounds.)

I do not wish to argue with you over this clown, truly no two rams would butt heads over him so why shall two Muslim brothers?

[Abuz Zubair]

But his comment "...because right now you have a car whose parts fall off when you close the door..." in clear reference to Islam is enough to see his arrogant attitude.

He means that we have failed in our attempts because something is inherently wrong with Islam. He is making an analogy, though wrong and being cynical. This sort of attitude is expected from a Kafir.

I would say the same sort of things about his failed civilisation and he would realise that this is how we speak in such debates.

Just answer [for yourself, no need to post it] the following question akhi:
Has morpheus insulted Allah, His Deen, and His Messenger on your forum in the past? (Crossing the bounds.)

Yes he has and that has been appropriately dealt with. This is why I am saying, if he does something unacceptable, we will be the first ones to deal with it, by rewording his argument in a better way and warning him not to speak in that manner again. Often, he wouldn't even know exactly how offensive it is what he has said. He is from a different culture and a different religion and background, so you need to cut him some slack for that.

[UmmAbdulMalikStorm]

Skillgannon, apologies, I didn't mean to give you a "neg rep", I thought I had done the opposite. I'm pretty sure I clicked on approve post so I don't know why that happened.

Anyhow, why do I have zero??

If you guys are so keen on repping ppl, why not throw some positivity my way even if it's for no reason. Im already feeling sensitive :(

[Skillganon]

I would. Currently I can't rep but would later for those who make good and worthile post.

I also have Zero (mines be reseted).

p.s. your one was an honest mistake by me, not you.

[UmmAbdulMalikStorm]

*gasps*

I have 2 now!

aww thanx :)

[Ibn Muhammad]

Pardon me for not reading through the 14 pages of this thread, but I see myself as having 2 repp points, no idea why...so how do I check what I was repped for?

[Skillganon]

I had so much positive rep point (+ rep power) until I was unfairly robbed of it by Abu Z.

[Rakan]

we probably can but that would take the fun out of it..............I add my nick when I leave neg reps ... that's the MANly thing to do.

[عُبَيْدُ رَبِّهِ]

The reputation thing is delighting. It teaches me that somebody reads my posts and I get very happyhappy joyjoy. Negative reps give me a good feeling and remind me that not everybody loves what I say even though I love everything I say dearly myself. It makes me feel more alive in this deep dark sewer system where we seek love, respect and position for our identities.

And come on guys, stop acting too much like you don't care about the points. All that, "I checked my reps 4 months ago you animal and all you red reppers go eat dog doodoo" stuff is just dry like my vegetables.

I check my reps whenever I'm on screen and got some time to sip coffee or other refreshing drinks.

I just find the concept of an "online" sum'ah quite amusing. It doesn't depict reality in many cases anyway. Why not insert a "thank you" button instead?

[rambant]

No I think it'd be more fun to see who negatively reps you. That way we can all fight and argue etc...

The reputation thing is delighting.
I'd word it differently (or use delightful...) but I think its interesting. I didn't think people gave reps and I recently learnt how to check mine and I see that people do use the system- joy.
I got a negative rep and I wonder if it was fair or not, it made me think more about what I type.
