All in Favor of Banning the "Negreppelian" ?

I think we should expand the rep system to include "neutral" rep. For when you want to tell someone that you don't care. If you got enough, you could get yellow squares!

I've only gotten one, but I see others have had 3 or more and are very angry.
Who is this masked dingus?

EXPOSE HIM !!!! (or not, please vote)

Just for the record: I voted yes. I've been handing out reputation in spades, left, right, and centre. Good and bad. I find the rep system a a useful tool, and if I disagree with a post (which I seldom do), I like the ability to give the poster an indication that he did something not everybody necessarily likes.

You cant please everyone .. all of the time.

Someone is bound to get sore sooner or later.

So many factors go into the negative rep giving, that to me it is almost fruitless.

Through my eyes:
- The positive rep catches my eye in a positive way.
- Negative rep means the guy speaks his mind.

Unless the reciever of the negative rep is quite dastardly with his deeds (and not words), I dont find much issue with it.

I officially love you. Welcome to "hero" status in my book.

I was thinking "Man is born free, but everywhere lies in bad rep".

Well, if it was a trick, it works. "open link in new window" gives thanks.

Still haven't figured out how this neg rep thing works.
