I've always thought I've been a good member of the forum, but the little urine stained ball underneath my name is saying otherwise.  I don't have an ego and I don't care if I don't have 8 golf balls teed up under my name, but the negative nonsense underneath my name is quite irritating.

You can scan through my post history and you won't find a single negative post.

As you can see on the wiki, you only need to have a value less than 10 to get that yellow dot.

I did some checking and you got one negative reputation comment, resulting in -2. Harmonious gave you a +1, so you have 9. I looked up the old reputation data and the comment was simply "poor post" and the post ID was 514772. Then I looked up the old post (I have the old vBulletin database on my local machine), and your post was:

"160ish yards.  I hit my 6 iron very well for my handicap."

http://thesandtrap.com/forum/thread/39303/what-s-your-bread-and-butter-yardage#post_514772

Since that comment doesn't seem appropriate, I've removed the -2 and you now sit at 11.

Thanks guys.

Yeah, wonder what the heck that was all about with the negative rep for my 6 iron comment.  Like I said, I just didn't want to look like a bad apple for no reason.

I goofed up on leaving a comment just now repping iacas last post above.  I accidentally clicked out of the little box.  Should have said "Thanks for the help and great investigative work."  I didn't think it 'saved' the rep as soon as I clicked the thumb.

Yeah, you don't have to leave a comment, but I hope most people will and want to encourage it.

I must admit I've never really bothered about (i.e. really taken notice of) reputation features in forums I'm active in (this one, general aviation, motorcycles).  Maybe it's a bit of the old "I'd never join a club that would have me as a member" sort of mentality on my part, or just "who cares what other people think, I am who I am".  Anyway I read Erik's link and the philosophy behind the new system does makes sense, trying to encourage thoughtful and witty/interesting posts and discouraging negativity.  Downright nasty or offensive posts are probably best dealt with by admin anyway (i.e. Erik).  We won't always agree with individual decisions but it's fine really as long as intentions are good.

Maybe I'll take more notice of the rep system now, and maybe even give some credit when I think it's due.

Please do, yes. I think having the reputation be "positive only" is a good thing. We didn't see a lot of negative votes before, but enough... it's easy - click a thumbs up logo, type something, and you're done.

The only issue I have with the new reputation is how the negative reputation just kind of pops up on me...

Not that I'm complaining about my current state, but I hadn't posted frequently in weeks and come back on to a negative rep.

It'd be really helpful if people like me could be informed what we are doing wrong in order to correct it as soon as possible.

You don't have a negative reputation, and there's no way to get negative reputation anymore.

You have 10 "points" or "skins" right now. You have a +2 via thumbs up and a -2 that pre-existed.

You have an infraction warning was well for your comments (which you know about), but that doesn't count for anything and is just a warning anyway.

I think its good that negative rep isnt on the forum here anymore. Ive seen it many places and the only way it can be used properly is when there is a list of rules posted that would fall under negative point worthy instead of difference of opinion and what not (which seems to be the majority of the negative)

Just out of interest, what happened to the skins detail link that you used to be able to click through in your own profile/stats next to each post?

I still see the link. You don't? It should only show up on your posts, I think.

Turns out something was re-set. As an admin I can always see mine. I changed it from "Admin-Only" back to "Private" (i.e. everyone can click their own). Thanks for pointing it out. Still finding my way around some of the settings here... not sure why that one would have gotten re-set, but it's now been re-re-re-re-set. Or something. ;-)

      Bryson got hit with a 2 shot penalty, after the round, for improving his lie on hole 5.  Here is a post on X, showing how he stepped on high grass when he was looking down his target line.  When they cut to the side shot, you can see how close he was behind the ball.  I think the R&A probably made the correct decision. You just have to be really careful when you are walking in the high grass, around the ball and where you are to make a swing.

      Day 27 (17 July 26) - Normally an 18 hole day, but due to commitments abbreviated the round to 9 holes (played the back nine at home course).  Had a solid session where even the worst miss (tee shot off 18) was fully playable.  Shot a solid 39 (6pars, 3bogies) - not dbls, no three putts - just boring golf.

      "Force Precedes Motion" and Flawed Physics in a TPI Video

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Overall, well said. People have to be very careful in trying to describe very complex problem in simple terms. In this case, it is a clear fundamental misunderstanding of Newton's 1st and 3rd laws.  To clarify more on the misinterpretation of Newton's 1st law. The exact interpretation of Newton's 1st Law....  "Every body continues in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a straight line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed upon it" yea, a body will stay motionless unless a force acts upon it. An object will stay on its path of motion unless a force acts upon it.  I get it, complex physics problems are difficult. There is a lot of simplification done in most physics class when it is taught. A classic problem uses a frictionless surface. Projectile motion excludes drag and wind direction. Collisions are usually elastic. The golf swing is not a simple physics problem.  Yea, I think they got caught up the data on the graphs and are not truly understanding cause and effect.  If the golfer isn't first pushing into the ground, then the ground isn't going to push back.  The internal forces of the body create the motion, not the external forces from the ground. The ground isn't like what Psy uses to start his concert. 🤣 You probably need to be connected to the ground and have those GRF to help the body produce the motion you want. Your body has to move in the right way to produce the GRF which helps you move the body in the way you want. Body motion precedes the GRF.
