I kind of like it even though my boring posts seldom get rep. I'm just a lonely 3 or 4 green cuber.

I was going to ask about negative rep a week ago or so because I wanted to black flag somebody. I was afraid to push the rep icon for fear of giving him good rep instead.

It would be interesting for someone with bad rep to be limited from posting. Triple red would put them in the penalty box and they would have to sit out for a spell, of something like that.

If we don't have neg rep, then it is really pointless to just have the positive rep. I + rep posters when they post something I really agree with or if they make a good point and I - rep people, mostly trolls, when I think they make an *** of themselves.

rep is totally worthless if all you can do is tell somebody good job but you can't call them out for being an idiot. Kinda like the PC world we live in that doesn't fail a kid in school because it will mess with his mind.

My 2 cts worth.......

This is the Division one football! This is the Big 12. If you don't like negative rep, go play intramurals, brother!

Dang, this means I can't get my rep busted down for ridiculing Ed Wilson for yapping for 3 hours straight about a funnel cloud *possibly - yet not confirmed* rotating overhead of Colo or Minburn or Tinytown, Iowa while they're supposed to be showing a live event that can only be seen on their network. More reasonable options for showing weather warnings be damned.

I shant miss it.

I hate when some people openly post in a thread that they are giving rep like "+1", etc.

No one cares that you gave them rep and your comment adds nothing.

I think most people have long moved on from the idea of rep being a valuable tool since it's too open to rep-bashing. The only reason it's still around is because a lot of people like to give people positive remarks regarding posts and it's valuable for that. For anything else it's pretty much useless.

I'm glad it's gone. It's not about hurt feelings, it's about anonymity.

I do like the positive rep. It gives me the chance to compliment someone without having to derail the thread.

I feel privileged being one of the few that has received negative rep from you.

Explains why I haven't been Neg Repped by all my NeoCon buddies.

I for one am crazy happy that the negative rep is gone! I had some pretty hurtful things said to me via the negative rep. It was not right. I like the change. Now, if we can just do something about the overall font....

What kind of tool can you give an Iceberg?

I take it the EIU/kNu/SDSU posters were taking some hits.
