Curiosity - what about the Rep Points that just appeared?

[Party of one]

It just seems to me like karaoke contest hurt feelings, not a good thing. I'm here to learn and be informed not to put others down. I can see where this could turn out to be a mess that's all. I'm not the brightest guy and I make honest mistakes. I take what i say to heart. Do we really have that many people blowing smoke I hope not. When I make a mistake I own up to it. I hope we are all pro's here. I feel like I'm back in school and waiting for my report card. I can see where different opinions from other people be payback. Like hey that guy didn't like what I said I won't like what he said. I can see A can of worms opening up. I have had a lot of respect for MTU in the past. I think we are working in a danger zone here that's all.

I can see where you are comming from ... and I think, after consideration, that it would be agood idea where only MTU personel could add or subtract from a person's rep points....

I'm also giving MTU the benefit of the doubt here as far as not subtracting from a person's rep count just because someone disagrees with them ... but from all I've seen I don't forsee any trouble there ... all I have talk to seem to be fairly level-headed on that count...

hey admin, how did you get that many rep points that quick ???? I think the fix is in !!!!

Guys,
I think they are trying to give users an indication as to what information to rely on as far as fixing problems. Anyone registered on line is able to post here, and some people will intentionally give bad advise.

Sometines this could lead to system problems, and even computer failure. I think When finished this should give you a better judgement in who to listen to.

For instance if someone told you to use a grounding eliminator to reduce, and he had a rep factor of -2 and someone else with a rep factor of +10 recommended a $50.00 piece of gear to do the same thing, and both works, who do you believe?

What happens if the guy with a -2 happen to be right and the other guy wrong. Now you out $50. I'm sure my rep is very bad but I started a post about sweeping that MTU wasn't even aware of. MTU has a high Rep but it was one you that solved the problem. That's my point there. Do you think anyone would take me serious. Now if I have a problem people are not going to listen to my problems. I stayed with MTU cause my problems get solved mostly by you kind users here. We have a lot of smart people here. SO why put down the not so smart people by labeling them.
Just one party of one opinion
