It was a while between the two - so you would have given me a red rep.

No - but I'm interested to know how you plan to police your plan?

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

Which part or give them a few weeks to give out an invite or at least return to this thread to tell us they dont have the ability do you not comprehend?

I dont - but the person who invited you to join from this thread should just keep an eye out to make sure that at least one of your invites makes it back to another member on the list at some point in the future (see response to your first question).

Jesus people READ...

I'd say you should leave it up to Richard, after all not only did he kick this thing off, but he also has a position of authority on the site.

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

I can read perfectly well thanks :rolleyes:

Anyway - I'm through going off topic. So I'll say no more on this.

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

Well as I've only had one invite to give out and did give it out here because of the round robin idea,instead of giving it to my daughter who really wants one too,if anyone hasn't given out at least 1 invite to a CF member who asked you should be heartily ashamed of yourselves.
It's not in the ethos of the site after all.


However I don't think we should red rep for selfishness.Red reps should be for abusive or trollish postings and behaviour like that.

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

I do want people to come back and invite at least one person from this thread, that was the whole point of it.
I started this whole thing because I knew what an excellent service Gmail was and wanted to share it around - people should do the same in return.
Having said that, red-repping for not inviting people is not what the system is intended for.

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

I agree, I don't think shaming people in to inviting other members is such a bad plan but offering some form of punishment in the form of negative reps is a bit pathetic.

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

hehe....so as were back on topic.....anyone have any invites going ???

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

So let me get this straight - you want to humiliate people other than giving them a red rep - which nobody else but them can see?

Its not as if they wont know they have done wrong and as Richard says...

What does a red rep do - it loses them 10 points or something - what does shaming people on the site do - possibly drives them away.

You overestimating the power of the red rep, like its some kind of Start WW3 button.

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

Are you unable to tell the difference between shame and humiliation?

You've been told it's not what the rep system is meant to be used for, how about you just drop it now?

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

Tetchy..

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

Not tetchy in the slightest, grow up.

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

No - just not bleating on and on about something that's been covered.

I suppose you would have called ME/US tetchy after being accused of not being able to read, if I'd posted a similar response.

Re: Get your GMail invites here!
 

All im doing is having a discussion about how to protect the members of this thread form people stealing invites then dissapearing, and you two seem determined to have a go at me for it.

Now you two seem to be getting really annoyed because i have a differing opinion than you.

Well, life a bitch lads aint it. :D
