OP: I rated you down. It was me. Here. Why? I'm no actually sure.It was an unspoken rule on the old forums that anyone who mentioned ratings would be rated down by everyone
I often check down rated posts to see if I agree and if not, I try to cancel it out with an up vote. I'm curious to what my up to down vote ratio is.
Rip-off and Hodgman make some good points and judging by their ratings, they do that all the time . I wouldn't worry too much about reputation, after reading a gazillion amount of posts I often look at the users name instead of his/her reputation. Their reputation is stored in my brain and is based on all their posts I've read, not the number under their name. There are a lot of members in this community that I would follow blindly because they've build up their name, not their reputation.
