No offense, but really, if you didn't care... you wouldn't bring this up.

I brought this up because I wanted to address to the person who did the de-rep.

What I don't care about is my FF reputation.

My concern is the act, not the effect.

you're concerned with what people on the forums think of you obviously, but remember, its the internet. I've gotten plenty of de-reps before, not once have I said anything about it.

Do I have to repeat what I keep saying? People in the forums can think of me as anything they want. Cause in forums is way different from IG and IRL.

And yes I know it's the internet. That's why I dun care about what people think of me as, unlike IG and IRL where my real self is what I present to people. Though I do care about what they'd say if I'd have anything to comment back to what they do say.

I found it disrespectful to call out the people who de-repped you because its meant to be anonymous, not only to you, but to the community. Sometimes people want to express an opinion on your posts without making it public, thus avoiding drama.

person*

The only other time I made a thread cause of de-reps was when Omies was still around, cause yeah. That one was stupid as well XD

In the SS in my first thread, it may have shown 2 de-reps but I meant only the last one. The one that says "I don't strip -.-" is out of this, cause I know Luna would give me that one lol

And if that person wanted to express an opinion on a post of mine in the thread "Serodin" without making it public, why not do it through a PM? That way I could have reacted to him pleasantly, I'd know who he is, take his comment even at the least consideration I'd take at, and communicate back, saying what I wanted to say about it ("Look at my other posts in the thread, that would be a good feedback to your comment.")

Cause a PM ain't public, aye?

If he'd known better, he would've delivered the comment through a PM, cause if he delivered it through a de-rep which he did, he'd figure out that I'd wanna reply to it, but I can't give a straight reply since he is anonymous, which would result to me provoking him in public.

Generally my concept on this particular matter is~

If he would've PMed me the comment, the whole thing wouldn't have been exposed to the public, and I could have replied/reacted in a proper manner.

If he de-repped me, I would've made a thread provoking him in order to know who he is, resulting to me being able to reply to his comment, plus this whole thing being shown to the public thus creating a little mess and havoc.

^ out of those 2, the 2nd thing is what happened.

Now, if you were in my place, his/her place or even in the admins' place, which of the 2 situations would you rather prefer?

Yes, generally it would be impolite and disrespectful to provoke or even just call out the anonymous person who gave a + or - rep. But it all would depend on the comment, if it's worth replying to, if it's worth pondering about. Only the comment recipient can judge on whether or not the comment WOULD BE worth replying to or not since he is the one taking it, but it'd depend on his/her sincerity on taking it.

EDIT~Bedtime for me now, it's midnight. Talk to you people again in 7 hours.
