Chat style messaging to be used during games so I don't have to keep hitting the refresh button

I don't think comments vs. no comments would affect negative rep behavior (I wasn't here for negative rep, so this is what I'd expect and not an observation from the past).

I like the idea of negative rep costing something to both parties. I would hope, though, that issuing negative rep would only affect my rep points and not my rep bar or label (e.g., "diamond in the rough", "reputation beyond repute", etc.). Naturally I would expect those to take a hit when I'm on the receiving end of negative rep.

...or require justification in the comments for the neg rep and let the moderators determine if it is applied, or not.

I vote no on the bolded part. We are already considered by some as being lower on the food chain than algae.

It would be helpful if the ads did not have streaming video:

They slow the site loading way down.
Could be inappropriate in the work place.
Are simply annoying when a fixed ad would do as well.

All these really fancy ads are just bandwidth eaters and slow my browsing experience to the point of annoyance. Simpler ads that, if one is interested in the product or service, one may click on to go to the retailer's website. I know these ads keep CF free, but they shouldn't detract from a viewer's experience either.

it took no time to get a cyclone hockey forum added but yet we've been told for almost a year now that a fantasy sports forum was going to be added and it has yet to be done ...

I don't know about that. A lot of us are big fans of algae.

Or is that Angie.
I can't always tell the difference..........................

There are no lifeforms on Earth lower than algae, so mods = algae.

You be 12 sheets to the wind if that happens.

We'd probably end up with more Hawk posts, because more gold would confuse all the Hawl trolls, and they couldn't distinquish whether they are on one of the Hawk sites or CF.
