so does anybody else think ppl give out boo's to easily or often?
does anybody actually like having the option to get booed or boo someone i think it brings negativity to the site and scares away new members
why not just have a reputation system where users can give someone a +1 to someone
for example whatlez and coliwobbles are great members of the site and give well respected advice but still has so many boo's i know they have lots of cheers to
i prob care to much about it and will prob cop more boo's for this post but wanted to have my say
I like the mention, but yeah like on body building websites have like rep. You get a rep power and it gets bigger. I like that.
Also don't you want your name changed to kilbluff1985?? Lol

lol many sites have the rep idea not just body building
and yeah i would like my username changed but not looking likely lol
yeah agree boo's are totally unneccessairy, a bit of a deterant from posting rubish, but agree with the points you make, people who post rubish will do it if they get booed or not, booing because you disagree with a post of someones is where most of it comes from.
:) take the good with the bad, doesn't bother me personnaly but new guys asking stupid questions "because ther are new" and getting booed 20 times is a good way to send them looking for another site.
Hard to sort the trolls from the noobs at times.. Noobs we want, grow the site - trolls we don't !
maybe we need a troll button :D
I think most people by nature hand out boos more frequently. How often do we criticise rather than praise each day?
Personally do not pay much attention to it as I comment on how I see the answer to question being asked or put my opinion on topic and that satisfying enough to me.
Agree the hardest part of the forum is identifying trolls and I think most of us have been caught in the past.
Cheer/boo ratio will not stop me posting on this excellent site especially coming from Queensland where we are AFL news is not the most important sport for media.
mods should be banning trolls more often,,i understand they will just create a new profile,but still...
...anyhow the system is flawed, but i doubt anything will be done about it.. half the time u cant even get on this site
cheer for you Ringo ;)
I remember I posted a handy info topic and got 5 boo's solely for that.
A boo/cheer count to me just says ur willing to put ur opinion forward, which is what the sites for

Hmmm... I think people get annoyed that I want to help ???
No LaHug gets cheered when he gets the captains right.
When he gets it wrong he gets boo'ed lol.

I deserve them too! I mean, if your opinion and attempts at predictions are wrong, you're obviously a bad person who shouldn't give advice :P. The boos indicate my advice isn't worth listening too ::)
But on a serious note, aside from the week when I got lots wrong and was actually a little bit pissy about the boos I was getting, I just ignore them entirely. Take the "cheer" count as an indicator of how good/helpful someone is (or interesting) and take the boo count as an indicator that the person isn't afraid to voice their opinion or try to help even though they could end up being wrong...
I dont mind getting Boos the only thing that detracts me from it is qood posters seem to have the most Boos and they normally have more boos than cheers. If people new to the site see this they might not take the advice of a quality poster with lots of Boos.
The younguns' of fanfooty obviously think its funny to boo people.
I wouldn't call myself a good poster so meh. I get what I deserve ;D
I just threw some cheers at you boys, you all deserve it. :)
Got booed yesterday for my Donut King post. If you stick your head up there'll always be someone willing to take a pot shot at you. Whatever, I'll keep doing my thing.
All that matters to me is getting double the amount of cheers to boos.
Then I'll have a positive K/D C/B ratio. :P

Well heres a cheer whatlez, i'll be the 1st on your struggle
I actually liked being booed. It means I'm doing my job an not being a 'yes Man' in agreeing with everyone but rather bringing forth my own opinion. If they don't like it or me, tough titties.
aka
*we all just hate you
:P

Stop having opinions or I'm gonna boo you!
Didn't take much to get boo'd ppl hand out boo'd. U hav to earn ur cheers but boo's r for free
Someone obviously has a grudge against me, been booed 10 or 11 times recently for mundane posts. They should grow some balls and have it out with me. ::)
Yeh, how much better would it be if u got to see who boo'd u!.. I gav u a cheer.... Jus coz... I figure thats y ppl boo
I wonder if the counter can go into quadruple digits...? Maybe we should just get everyone to 999 cheers and boos to mess with the system!
Ok good idea i started with u lahug, but its 1 per hour lol Long way to go yet

Yeah, there I am saying how it sucks getting 11 boo's in a week and that's an average day for you. :P
Do you have the most cheers at FF? I can't think of anyone with more. That says more about you than your boo count.

You did! It just went up one more! Why would you do that?!? Monster :(
i just get annoyed people give out boo's without a second thought yet people start threads asking for help and never give cheers or rarely do anyway
we could start something up and cheer each other whenever we can
? I've got no idea what you're all talking about...
personally I don't pay attention to my cheers and booes- I understand, some people love me cause I'm awesome, and some people hate me cause they're jealous, I don't need it quantified ;)
Lucky I'm pretty thick-skinned!!!! and I take it with a grain of salt, but we talk so much these days about cyber bullying and it is a form of cyber bullying.
I'd hate to see a couple of young guys come through, who are on FF to try and engage with the ppl, try and do the right thing, who might not be as thick-skinned and might take things [like that] a bit more to heart.
It could end someone's profile or give someone depression if they're constantly copping stuff like that.

i have a possible answer to that question.
The people you are helping all have under 50 posts, thus unable to cheer/boo. ;)
