[Brute Forcer]

I don't like name and shame but since it's public on my reputation, might as well.
Apparently my signature "A good magician never reveals their secret.
A good programmer never reveals their source code.
I guess I'm a horrible programmer.

Ask me for help in Java, especially beginners!

My Java Swing Tutorial" can get neg rep.

I'm just confused because i'm being sarcastic and it makes me feel horrible that someone would do this. Despite me helping so many people with their posts. I thought these forums wouldn't have people abusing their power to make people feel like leaving the site. Im just asking if this is a valid use of negative rep.

Just ignore it, there's no point in complaining.
You'll always get the odd few people.

Yeah i was so excited to get 4 rep (I'm new) but when that guy just negative rep'd me in a matter of minutes, it made me feel horrible.
Thanks btw, your post made me feel better.

Like everyone else is going to tell you on this thread, just ignore it. If you really are helping people out like you say you are you'll get more positives in no time.

[Coton Pker]

reputation is personal opinion.
if that person thought you're an idiot, he's entitled to that opinion.

you just have to eat it, and move on.

Why do you have to make a whole thread about this? What the hell do you want us to say? Do you want pity rep? Stop making rep such a big deal, soon you'll realise the way to get negs is to not be afraid to speak your opinion, and the way to not get negs is to be a little bitch and never slightly offend anyone. Rep is useless, ignore it.

[Marky Marky]

I feel bad for you but just ignore it, everyone but very little has bullshit negs including me. However we see past that and by being positive accumulate more.

[wellager]

Do you deserve it? Hell no, at least in my opinion. Is it going to get removed? Hell no.
I'm sorry, the best thing you can do is just take it and forget about it. Rep comes and goes.

[Sasori]

who cares about it, keep doing what you've been doing
its just a number

[Argyle]

Why do you have to make a whole thread about this?

He is a relatively new member. I am sure he does not know any better. He is just asking a question but in a slightly non-good way in my opinion.

What the hell do you want us to say?

A response that should end all threads created by a OP that may have not though about this:

Talk to the user. Try to explain your reasoning with him. If he is listening to your reason or disagrees, then so be it.

[Kuso]

That's your first problem. If you were out to help, you wouldn't care about negs. Instead, keep moving on and help out people in honesty and people will soon oversee you and start giving more positives outweighing the negatives.

Oh on a side note, most people who give out dumb negatives usually and eventually get their accounts closed, banned, and result in removing rep. I used to have about 9 negatives, most were pretty dumb and those people usually who give dumb negs are usually the type to act dumb resulting in account closing. Negs will be removed.

No. Just no. OP is human and everyone is affected by rep. Saying he wouldn't care about negs is saying his ego is void and that he utterly doesn't care about what anyone thinks about him here.
It's not a dumb neg imo, just a ub3r taking advantage and negging for a stupid reason because OP is not upgraded and he's had a bad day.

Tbh i understand what you're saying. But im new to this. And this is practically what i was asking.

reputation is personal opinion.

Both his, and your posts makes sense. I'm sorry if i seem like a brat though, im just new and I don't want to be one of those guys that noone trusts because of neg. rep and doesnt get anymore positive rep because of that. Just like Elo Hell in league.

[Xahusee]

I spoke an opinion on a thread and now I'm neg repped for "being rude" lmfao. Also never try and get around 35 char rule, you'll get a warning level D:

your rep isn't what is going to make people not trust you.
it's your lack of time/upgrade/vouches that will make people not trust you.

I'm just saying.
I got 500rep and almost 4 years reg time, and people still don't trust me because I've not done a whole lot of exchanging/trading.
