Broken rep system fueled by drugs/satan/videogames.

The rep thing is getting out of hand here. Good example Ive received negative rep for a bump/news update(in the words of a mod a "double post") which is not discussed in the project recruitment section. Even if its a general forum rule the fact that an edited doesn't appear as a new post makes the updates nearly impossible to detect since no one checks a topic with no new posts. My suggestion is to create more defined rules or create a punishment/appeal system for the people who abuse neg rep if it is not solved in pms.

...And who was it that gave me negative rep for treating this guy like an idiot?

The same person who probably will still give you negative rep for treating him like an idiot. Just because he doesn't know doesn't mean you can treat him like an idiot, unless of course you want to be a troll.

Death, the thing about rep is that it's just rep. It comes and goes and it doesn't really effect anything. Just try and do more positive things and get more positive rep. You can't really gain much from fighting the system. A lot of people have tried; none have succeeded

First of all, we have a section stating all the rules of this site and it clearly indicate that you are not allowed to bump a pages in within 48 hours after your last post. If you accidentally double post, you should just use the delete function we provided to delete your post instead of leaving it that way.

The Hive Workshop - A Warcraft III Modding Site - FAQ

If the thread have been dead, probably 2 months without reply. You could revive it provided you give a good reason for it.

Also, we already have the appeal system currently available and have been posted by Archian. It indicate that you only could appeal after 2-4 months from the last neg rep provided you give a good reason and behave well.

Those thread which have been pinned up at the section is called side rules which only apply for the section. As for the link i provided above, that is the rules apply for all section at THW website.

Meh it was just me venting. The rep doesn't really bother me its more of the fact that people here take rep as the word of god.

People complain about others taking rep too seriously, but I've never seen any evidence of this. It's kind of ironic actually.

Good behaviour = +rep
Bad behaviour = -rep
-> deal with it ;)

Plus, Gilles is right

Either

1) Wait at least 48 hours (24 if it's in WEHZ), then bump.
2) Copy and paste the contents of your previous post into a new post, add the updates to that post (HINT: use [hr]500[/hr]), and then delete your previous one.

Be sure to check if you can even delete your post, as some forums have that option disabled.

According to the site Rules, you can only bump after 48 hours of inactivity. We forgot to add, however, "unless otherwise stated in the respective forum's guidelines" - The World Editor Help Zone, for example, consents thread bumping within 24 hours of the last post (and I believe that's the only forum that changes the rule).

Oh, is it 48? Whoops.

Ive seen a lot of threads with this account and one that I had for a good 1.5 years before this one where people are turned down for help because of low/neg rep. Some of the threads requesting help were stupid so yes I can see why no one would help. But others have required rep to get help and most threads made by people with low rep are totally ignored if they don't have enough rep to rep other users.
Just go to the requests forum or any forum asking for help. Whats more is even if I play the nice guy and do help out people I get posts deleted for handing out links to existing models. Its absolutely stupid.

I always give rep to those deserving it, not caring if they have a low or a high emeraldcount

That's an admirable trait. Do you help others regardless of how "noobish" their problems are if they are legitimate issues?

Lies, Squiggy , you always rep me cause I rep you.

You deserve it by the way
