What is strange is that it must be someone with more than 50 posts to actually make a dent on your rep and appear red. There treachery afoot! To the Barrow cave!

I hope it does not get to the point where negative reps have to be reviewed by a moderator before being sent to stop this kind of thing. But if it gets out of hand, then perhaps that would be something we would have to conceder.

That means it was a pretty high up Downer! I mean, I remember the phantom saying he'd like to randomly neg rep people. but I didn't think he'd actually do it! Or anyone for that matter.

No the phantom only joked about that and he doesn't actually do it.

I support the use of negative rep when it is justified but I do not hold with the use of negative random rep.

I know nothing about the web or computers(im lucky i got this far) but i think as far as negative reps go we should choose what amount to give out of our given amount say I can give 15(im guessing i dont know) I should be able to choose a number between 1 and 15 to give because sometimes you just want to a warn a person about a post not punish them I just gave a negative rep where I felt half of my possbbile points would have been effective i almost feel guilty about it

Edit:actually if i calculated i have 14 rep points to give only one off from my guess thats not too shabby

Someone recently gave me a rep (a possitively, happily, haha) and didn't sign. Thanks much whoever gave it, but I'm more than curious to know who it was. . .

If you just want to warn somebody, not punish, why don't you send a pm?
