mind you the total neg rep between those 10 posters over ALL time is equivalent to 2 days worth of rep for only the "Hook 'Em" reaction and not event he haha, like or any of the other ones that are used.

In fact, the "Fuck You" Emoji is the least used active emoji, even less than the "drool" emoji. 

In short, you know literally nothing about what you are talking about.

Jimmy James was not in the top 5, so I willl pay up later. Right now I am going to bed.

I am not entirely sure I trust your methodology though. You queried among the set of all posters, which posters gave out the most negrep? In other words, who are the angriest most hateful posters.

Nevertheless, that's very interesting. Two women in the top 5. Bevoette would never had done such a thing.

The others I don't even recognize for the most part. Who are VRHorn and UnivTex34 and Felix? 

Different topic, but what is your opinion on posters spree repping? Meaning, they want someone banned so they go and find every post you've ever made and negrep it.

weird that has nothing to do with burnt ends at all, which you still can't seem to comprehend. Thats the whole point of you being a moron, you literally are talking about something that has nothing to do with the entire fucking topic because you have some opinion with you and your 5 moron friends who vote a certain way and are afraid of negative internet points. 

Oh my!

Sorry I didn't get the memo. But, @PenelopeWitherspoon is leading in what?

Neg rep. Ok.

dude I don't have any insight into the traffic in here but that's flat out crazy talk. The vast majority of us are going to be here because of football. We stick around because the other threads are pretty good too. But, it's football that drives this place.

That is a non-issue nowadays. It was a thing for a small bit, but we told people to knock it off and made it a bannable offense, I haven't heard of it since then. 

The query was literally all neg rep, all time, all posters, all posts sorted by count of neg reps descending. Then I ran the same thing with a time bound of Jan 1 at midnight 2023 until now. 

Fatwa is still 100% allowed and happens and is glorious when it does happen on the football/9.95 boards.

100% on the football fatwa, nobody disagrees.

penelopewitherspoon has dished out 5114 negreps in total.

Felix has given 4240 negreps.

VRHorn has given out 2477 of them.

Safe sex has done it 2457 times.

JimmyJames is a piker. He has but a mere 2259. Most of them directed at me LOL.

For some of these people, they are doing like ten negreps per day every fucking day of the year for years on end.

Bottom line, your query was correct.

Got damn that’s a lot of hate..  I love Penelope’s travel posts and never had a problem with her, but I’ve seen a lot of random negs towards her in the travel forum for no reason.  While cloakroom might not be the leading board in negs, I bet most of these people’s negs were gave out in cloakroom or stemming from it.  The random negs on normal posts in other topics start somewhere and end up elsewhere and they go both ways.  To me it’s crazy posters carry a feud to other topics but it happens all the time.

I got on the medal stand because of the copious amount of neg rep I gave to one poster that absolutely deserved them and still does under the various amount of new handles they have used since their original name. 
 

I don’t care about getting a negative rep because this is a message board where we all have varying viewpoints. There are people I read and both agree and disagree with in different forums on here. In a nutshell that’s how we mostly are as people. We find common ground more often than not on things, but sometimes we just do not.

It’s not incorrect. You actually can’t do math. 6 years is 2192 days if there were 2 leap years in those 6 years. That’s less than 3 neg reps a day. Even at 3 years that’s less than 6. 

also your assumption of my query being incorrect just shows how fascinatingly stupid you are. 2 days of hook ‘em is 3500 reactions. Sorry it’s 6 whole days of hook em instead of 2. Point still stands I was swagging that statistic because it was just so hilarious how little neg rep there is, which is a point I illustrated with a visual graph before. 

if you actually care this much about neg rep then maybe, just maybe you are a thin skinned bitch, or wait for it…maybe you are the fucking problem? What if this neg rep that is actually rare as far as rep is concerned is concentrated on posters that aren’t even around for “years at a time” who come back to threads and say shit so obscenely stupid and not supported by data that shockingly paint them as a complete moron who doesn’t have the cognitive function of a basic high schooler. It could just be that you are actually a shitty poster who gets most of the neg rep because of how fucking stupid you are?

imagine commenting on this thread, giving no money to NIL, not subscribing before the LiBrUlS took over the board and never donating a single dollar and having any kind and having an opinion on why specifically NIL subs to a well defined, multi year, every year expanded program is seeing a downturn. The fact is the program was anchored by ~80 users having a 15-20 person churn in a year and nearly all of those people having events in their life that directly correlate with belt tightening and still supporting at a lower tier. It’s not like we aren’t going to pay the tight ends.

Keep your fucking money, $100 isn’t even enough to cover a year of burnt ends the lowest tier subscription for supporting student athletes (over 400 of these btw), or better yet I can give that to one of the student athletes to tweet that thetexashammer on surly is everyone’s favorite poster to neg rep.

Thank you.  I keep the negging in the Cloak Room and rarely will have one outside of it.  Some posters here need a safe space and can't take any sort of criticism.

Sorry you get called out on being full of hate and supporting people who support treating anyone who isn't a white male as second class.  

It's funny that the main people who complain about rep and the Cloak Room are our right-wing posters who are totally cool with the destruction of the Republic and absolutely hate being called out for it.

I’m not phobic anything. Ok on the rest of your post. You’re delusional and you don’t really want feedback. I’ll leave you alone. 

How the fuck am I delusional? Do you even know what that word means? 

"characterized by or holding false beliefs or judgments about external reality that are held despite incontrovertible evidence to the contrary, as a symptom of serious mental illness"

I'm the opposite of delusional. I am looking at the hard data telling me something real and you are talking about some shit that is immeasurable in a galaxy that doesn't actually exist. 

Quote

but you’re failing to consider business that walks away - business to which you were totally oblivious - because of the bullying left nature here. Keep believing it’s “strange” features of a good economy. 

This is what ACTUAL delusion looks like. The data shows NO supporting evidence of this, you cannot come up with any and you are continuing to perpetuate a narrative that simply doesn't exist. 

Try to gaslight some other weak brained room temperature IQ moron in whatever field you work in, but this is straight up nonsense. You have given no feedback whatsoever and have simply given me anecdotal stories about you and your 5 friends who could apparently pay for burnt ends all on your own, but don't because "tHe LiBeRaLs On SuRlY aRe BiG mEaN." You are so far outside the realm of sanity that I can't even begin to imagine a world where feedback you give would in any way be helpful.

I'm happy to set up a fucking NIL deal for you guys direct to the players, walk you into compliance, write the fucking contract for you and get the money to the players with a 0% cut. You aren't interested in NIL, you are interested in pushing some fucking agenda where you are a victim of something, I'm not even sure what.

Ok

I am an independent. I don’t like some of the beliefs of posters in the cloak room. However some of the views have completely changed my mind on a topic. It’s a mixed bag. The behavior of the entire Republican Party right now is sensationally bad. There are certain important issues where I don’t agree with the Democratic Party. 

All these things are true, and yet I don’t feel like I’m being picked on, or the site is a left wing echo chamber. Have you really not stepped back to consider for a moment that maybe you aren’t the perfect prince you seem to think you are? Maybe you still have some things to learn. And not contributing to NIL solely because of the issues you raise really makes you look worse to the independent crowd. You do have maga solidly supporting you. That’s like saying the theological dictators are in your corner.

Is it possible this is happening on a grander scale than my handful of acquaintances?  I have little doubt it is. None of these guys are MAGA or even talk politics much. All are high earners. One is a heavy donor to UT after selling his company for $170 million several years ago. 

Dude. No one cares. 

I've been on shaggy or surly for lord knows how long. The day after election day in 2020 was my first time ever visiting the Cloak Room. Before then, I had absolutely no fucking Idea what the prevailing political lean was, despite posting in a half dozen forums. Shit, I actually avoided it because I assumed it would be hard right being full of older Texas white dudes and all.

People who are "scared off" by surly politics are actively seeking them out to have yet another thing to be butthurt over.

So instead of just sitting there with your rich friends and being a sycophant, how about trying to educate them on the fact that this site supports freedom of speech and has a wide range of viewpoints? 

The reality is that anyone who tries to wade in to the CR right now supporting just about any issue of the right has no basis for their position, so they get their ass handed to them. 

Take any issue. The debt? The Republican President along with tax cuts put us in this mess and the Democrats can’t do anything even if they wanted to because of the House. Immigration? Republicans shat a turd on that, and proposed a dumb ass wall that Mexico would pay for (right). Foreign policy? Republicans sucking Russian cock in exchange for campaign funds is not a good look. Dealing with China? Trump put up a fake tax that did nothing, while Biden is at least strengthening our chip plants before China invades Taiwan. Foreign policy with allies? Trump was a disaster who was widely ridiculed by every foreign power. Abortion? The Republican party is firmly on the wrong side of that issue, despite the party’s supposed mantra of “keeping the government out of our lives”.  Views of Trump by his own administration? Every single member of his cabinet, along with hundreds of generals have pointed out he is unfit for the office. AG, Chief of Staff, Secretary of State, etc.

And then there are the multiple indictments and serious charges of turning over our county’s most sensitive secrets to the Saudis, maybe Russia, and who knows else. Then there is the defrauding of his own charity foundation. 

And I haven’t even touched the surface of dozens of other serious issues of the Republican nominee for President of the United States. His dishonesty. His corruption. Etc.  

And you sit here and say this web site’s political views are the reason rich alumni won’t support their university? Do you realize how insane that sounds? Instead of blaming the site owner, how about you pull your head out of your ass and help other independents educate the rich right who haven’t realized yet they’ve aligned themselves with terrible unAmerican clowns.

I think I'm still averaging about 1 neg rep a month, if that over the last couple years.  Admittedly, if we went back to that system where you can add a line about why you neg repped somebody, I know myself-I'd probably do it more often.  But the whole crowd-sourcing/oblivion thing is just childish.  I mean, don't me wrong---somebody actively encourages another person to commit suicide or hurt themselves, that actually does happen in real life (that's been proven out by real data), that's ban-worthy.  Somebody keeps posting somebody's real name or location, that's banning material.  Or uses a lot of racial slurs that easily come up if somebody were to find it hit top of page on google or whatever, we don't need that shit either.  But Somebody's just trolling or being an asshole or overly-insulting, keep the rep system but we don't need cast too big a light on the whole issue.  

Although, anecdotally...I enjoy the semi-annual post by Rex where he lists out the ten posters he has on 'ignore', and the vast majority of them are posters he actively engages/argues/cites on myriad threads.  I compulsively read everything he puts out on the O&G thread, but he can remind me (and he's good people in real life IIRC) of that girl in junior high that proclaimed, "I'm never talking/listening to you again" and then 5 minutes later passes you a note with a bunch of "circle yes or no" questions on it.

well fuck me. When we switched ad providers I left the placeholder for where the ads would go, but wasn't calling the loader script for anyone logged in. This helps on some of the ad revenue dropoff explanation. Fixed today, also you may see a floating video player that shouldn't be too intrusive, that is going to start playing OTF and Surly Horns Podcast content + a mix of some other Texas stuff.

NIL program specific revenue is down and I’ve answered that pretty clearly. If you don’t want to pay players because of some shit that happens in cloak room on this website then whatever. I don’t make any money off it. I lose 3.5% because I gross up the payment processing fees. 

half of the potential market for surly is not turned off/away/leaving/gone/whatever the fuck it is you are insinuating because of cloak room and the general discussion which is similar everywhere, not just on surly.

True. At least it’s mostly contained here, with some leaks. Other boards do similar, but ones that don’t tend to end up with a shitfest.

It’s not like Surly itself is endorsing anything, or anyone, in the political realm. Surly’s position is “we love the longhorns.” That’s it. (Well, we can’t forget tits.) Any users opinion is just that; a users opinion.

I stay out of there, easy enough to do.

You showed data after I had already tuned you out due to three or four unnecessary insults. And your data is irrelevant to my point, which you continue to fail to even consider. Not every reason can be explained by your metrics. 

I never cared too much about getting neg repped or pos repped, and I didn’t ask for that list, but it is very instructive to my point because I’d say most people DO care about rep to some degree about it (including me). Most of those people have one strong thing in common: the CR. They stifle conversation, make the entire community appear like the left version of Marjorie Taylor Green, and ultimately affect $ whether they go to Surly or NIL. You’ll probably respond I’m an idiot because Surly hasn’t been affected financially, but you’re failing to consider business that walks away - business to which you were totally oblivious - because of the bullying left nature here. Keep believing it’s “strange” features of a good economy. 

My memory isn't what it once was, so somebody kindly refresh it. 

Is Rex the guy that was a proud member of the frat that sang (still sings, probably) the song with the N word?    

IIRC (and I'll stipulate that I may indeed not) it was "there will never be a (n word) SAE". 

 

IF that's the case, then yes, I'm sure that today's version of CR is too "left" for his tastes.  And, if that's the case, then fuck him and fuck his "buddies".
