I just had to share this because it was so funny to me. I was playing Halo 3 last night and it was a capture the flag match big team battle on Valhalla and everyone on my team kept ignoring the banshee so i kept taking it, well i got a few kills finally died we captured a flag so i was doing decent, i died in the banshee they captured one on us, then i got in a warthog me and another guy took the flag but anyways i got the banshee again by jacking it from someone friend of mine got ours at our spawn and we were bombing the ever living crap out of the other team for like 5-10 minutes straight and i ended up having like a killing frenzy and all this and an overkill where i ran 2 people over with it then shot a bomb and killed 2 others chasing our flag carrier but anyways my score was like 38 kills and 4 deaths or something nuts at the end of that and during the whole match i was in a private chat with my friend. So it was a hilarious time.

Anyways after the match i took a break to grab something to snack on and all this i come back and i see my rep it says 14% avoid me now, it was a lot lower before and the other times that people negative rep me were matches where i tore them a new one in Rainbow six vegas. Thing is i never trash talk or anything like that but now showing 50% unsporting and 50% trash talking on negative rep 14% avoid me. Funny thing is after all my games where we can chat with the other team win or lose i always say hey great game or whatever i try to be polite but yet people still submit that stuff? I know it doesn't matter so much but to me it just seems so petty and stupid. Was curious if anyone else has ran in to this as well? Just the more i play online games on the 360 i always run across these jerks on there and figure maybe if i'm not a jerk maybe less people i play with will be jerks but of course it still happens but anyways am curious to hear if others have ran in to this?

In my opinion - rep isn't a very good part on the service. I think it can easily be abused. I wish that you were unable to view rep and so you could still prefer/avoid players for better matchups but instead you wouldn't know who has done whatever action to you.

haha yah no kidding i probably wont run across them again. I think i'm just getting more and more surprised over how petty some people are over losing or getting beat down. For example i received a video message out of the blue from someone i assumed i was in a match of halo with at some point. It was a territories match where this guy got 2 spike grenade sticks right there in a row. The first one was me running up on his territory and he stuck it right to my crotch and then another guy came up behind him and stuck him. I sent him a message back saying hey awesome job on the stick and it was hilarious you got me right on the crotch and all that and thank you for sharing cause i did get a good laugh at it and all that. Getting the impression though that if most other people on live got that they would be all mad or something over that or flip out. The guy responded to my message as well and sounded really surprised that i wasn't all pissed off basically saying hey thanks for the compliment the file share is such a cool feature to not use and what not.

Its definitely something i believe gets abused a lot but yah figured i would share all that plus i just wanted to blow off some steam because i think its retarded to get pissed because you got owned in a match or something or smack talk it just gets on my nerves

True. If you play well, then people will end up saying you cheated, or give you the unsportsmanlike conduct. I like the fact that you can leave all that feedback, but I wish other people couldnt see. People only use it to give bad feedback, so the system is a lil bit flawed because your supposed to give good feedback too, but people dont use it for that.

Don't take your rep too seriously. I don't use my rep to hurt someone, just to avoid someone. There are some people I will never play with again. No matter what.
