I'd love to have this button with so many dumb threads starting now, about paper designs, subs and similar. I would even make myself more forum accounts just to negrepp them into oblivion...

Neg rep was a wonderful thing, it set the bad posts apart from the good ones. If a helpful poster starts getting neg repped, we have so many more positive reps than negs to hand out that the negs would be cancelled out

I think it's slightly better to have it gone. It does have merits but it can also be abused. Nobody is going to get abused with +1s.

@ OP +2

 

@ Crag, sorry buddy, no rep for you.   :Smile_trollface:

 

This is a ongoing issue with any and all forums.  Board software provides a back office view of these activities, while invisible to the community, is easily tracked from an administraters dashboard.  This issue has not escaped this board either, and I suspect why the staff disabled negative rep due to it being abused.

No it is 5-7-5, though strangely it is not actually by syllables, but sounds, which evidently means there is some sort of difference.  The one I posted is a 5-7-5, the one I was referring to was a 5-8-5.

 

So no, he didn't (5)

But it was in fact very close (8)

There are pro's and con's to both. I for one would support reinstating negative rep, but it wouldn't just be like positive rep(# of uses).

 

I am not sure how negative rep worked before, but what if they made it so you could only give out say 3 neg rep a day and 6 positive rep. Something like that could possible discourage negativity overload and also make it so others could easily cancel out any undeserved neg rep.

 

just my two cents.
