I've noticed a certain person with negative reputation has been in the lounge a lot lately. And almost every post is grey. Thing is, he's been trying to change his posts. Very few are whining, very few are attacks, and in fact most of the recent ones have been jokes, jests, poking fun at himself, or in general trying to change to not be a complete douchebag. And they keep 1 voting him. I don't get that. Yes, he has a history of being a twit, I get and understand that, but if his post is not deserving of a 1, he is sincerely trying to change and he is behaving, why give him a 1? I realize people may be expecting him to get stupid later, but for now why not use positive reinforcement to encourage him to keep trying to not be a douche? I may be a post whore, but I try and have fun and hope others do too. If he can change so that people aren't pissed at the universe whenever they see a post from him, why are we not helping him see it is a good thing? anyway /end rant

So what you are saying is a person with negative reputation, will have his post in grey. Wow, I didn't know that.

No, it is just that people keep 1 voting EVERYTHING he posts. And some of the posts have not deserved it. In fact, recently a few have made me laugh so they have gotten a 5 out of me just to try and counteract what appears to be blind hatred.

No the grey denotes the post as being voted as 1.

It seems that he, CPianism, came to the attention of the Mr Graus, the Oberlieitenantfheurer (fuck me thats hard to spell) of CP due to a number of runins and bad advice. Chriatian the Christian just couldnt turn the other cheek (sorry, couldnt resist it) and hauled him before the august and self elected meisters of taste that constitute the lounge. Since then he has, of course, become whipping boy de gout. I say be as obnoxious as possible and fuck the incumbent smuggies!

Agreed, in fact I have given some of his posts a positive vote as they are worthy. OK, so he was a pratt before, but he said he was going to change, and to be fair, he is making the effort. I say give him the chance, if he screws up then fair enough, he is one-vote-meat again, but until then let's reserve judgement.

I assume you mean CSS. I've noticed a number of reasonable posts from him in the lounge, and I try to make a reasonable response, because I think it's a good thing that he matures to the point of knowing which side of his personality to show back here, and which to show in the public area.

For the record, I think you're a self righteous, hypocritical moron. I have recently posted about a few people in the lounge, who blew my mind because I answered their programming question, and they then attacked me for it. However, I don't recall ever having a run in with CPianism, although I do recall speaking to him, I don't believe I am at the root of people's attitude towards him. He did post recently about his desire to change how he posts, and I advised him to do it instead of talking about it. Either way, it's kind of ironic that you'd make this post about me, when what you're doing is making me YOUR whipping boy, as is your wont. I guess you got mad at me for responding intelligently to your mindless AGW posts ?

Alas not. CSS has been known to be angry, as far as I know, has never complained of negative reputation. Fat_Boy, I believe, has identified the CP member.
So it would seem. With his usual flair for hypocrisy, too.

Yeah, sure, like you didnt create an entire thread about him in the Lounge and how bad his behaviour is. And that is why the Loungites vote him 1. You did it, and the loungeites, and wannabes, and suckers up to you and Chris and so on take it upon themselves to chastise him. Its actually quite a disturbing aspect of herd mentality. Find someone to occupy the postion of whipping dog and keep on whipping. Same thing happened with CSS in the SB. And, now to move on to your opinion about me, yes, quite probably self-righteous, most people unless imoral do think they are right, hypocritical, yes, I too feel the herd temptation to take up the whip on occasion, but I try to resist. As for moronic, no, I am not a moron. My IQ is to high to be classified as moronic.

Oh wow. I can see that the unpopularity you generated by insulting people in Oakmans forum has stung. If you put yourself in the potition of being a whipping boy then I cant do much about it. Perhaps drop the personal attacks, and intentional misunderstanding of what people write and you might be a little more popular. That is if you care about popularity.

Yea, I have noticed CPian's posts trying to be funny, and not to be a douche. He really is trying, sometimes a bit too hard, but he seems to want to change. Don't get me started on fat_bastard. I love how he keeps trying to ignore the ban in the lounge on obviously political posts. AGW is not going to be anything but a political post the way he goes about it.

Oh really?[^] This is the only article I can find dealing with a univote in the first 100 pages. I don't recall ANYTHING like that in the lounge by Crhistian prior to this one. Note he wasn't talking about CPian. Let's see how he did react to CPian, shall we? Cheek, turned...[^] He indicates he is willing to give the guy a chance, and it appears that he has. Heck, other folks were making jokes about 1 voting in a thread after that one I just linked. Yes, Christian has harped on him, no doubt. Christian being mean[^] But this is older than that other post. It was before CPian told everyone he would try and fix how he behaves. You know what pisses me off about the Republicans in the US? Their inability to understand that with the current level of tech, every one of their stupid, obnoxious, and transparent lies can not only be disproven, but it can be done in a matter of a few minutes, and with little to no doubt as to what was actually said. You attributed something to Christian that was false, attacked it and made your position seem stronger. You used a strawman. I hate them and everyone here knows I call them out. You do it again with the Oakman comment. I have yet to see Christian univoted by folks based on that event. I see his posts with 5 votes frequently. Acting like he is not well received while your posts are regularly in grey text or simply deleted is attempting to attribute your own situation on another person and then attacking it. I'm calling you out on this one too. The last line is pretty telling in that. You really feel the need to attack someone to be popular, go ahead, but pretty much everyone that read that line suddenly realised what your real beef is. Christian may be a jerk sometimes, destroy any piece of tech that

With support and hard work, some folks manage to stop being addicts. He's trying to not be a complete jerk, and his posts should be judged on their merits. I don't go downvoting people just because it is them. I do when they post crap.

I don't know the story about this guy, as I've been preoccupied of late. It could be the case that he has been given "a second chance" before. Maybe a third, fourth, fifth, etc. At some point people won't just have it anymore. Such is the case with for instance CSS and fat_boy. They just don't know what social rules are. Even though people tell them they don't want to hear their endless rantings, they just can't stay away. CSS has more manners than fat_boy on this subject, and CSS is a drug head!
