    Yeah but a new member would find it more annoying than you - the thick-skinned veteran with many green gems.
    First rep I ever got given, back in the day when I was oh so newbieish was a neg. From Trigger. Who has been on here longer than I have and had mucho reppo - it gave me a sharp sting!

    Some people are stalking me on here it seems. I've been negged in lots of unrelated threads where my posts are positive and balanced and have nothing contovertial in them. Also not for some reason I'm being quoted on threads and then seem to be being blocked on them. I think I know who the main person is and they seem to be quite high up on TSR so I don't know if it's them. Any ideas? Any ideas why I might be 'blocked' from threads for no good reason :/ I can't see the thread anymore on the homepage where it was listed etc
    Since you're not a sub, how do you know you're being negged by the same people each time?

    not in the slightest. I express my views as I see fit. As consequence I get negged more or less as often as I get pos rep. That's why I don't think it's the end of the world being negged.

    edited to add : after 7 and a half years of being on TSR, don't you think I'd have more green gems by now if I had "altered my views to supplicate the rep happy heavies" ?

    In your opinion. What you see as ok, others won't. Some people will rep (neg or pos) for any reason at all.

    Depends on how good you are at supplication.

    :blah:

    Being blocked from threads - posts have been moved to the recycle bin. As you're not a mod, you can't see what's in there and it comes up with some stuff about no permissions.

    People negging you - You haven't been here that long, I doubt it's the same person negging you, because it will still take time for that happen, no matter how rep-happy that person is. It would seem you're pissing off people in some threads with either mannerisms or opinions if you're being constantly negged. Though, don't let it get you down, what does it all matter anyway.

    It's unjust how you can be negged for anything - Yep. Pretty much. Always has been, but it's slightly fairer on this system now. Like it or lump it.

    With regards to stalking, it's possible that some people share your interests, therefore, you will see the same people replying to each other, etc.
