-rep suggestion

If you -rep a post does it display -1 in a red box at the bottom of the post? (Don't really want to try it)

No, it does not. I personally think it should although it would most likely end up backfiring on me

No, and it's not going to.

Mainly because it's quite bad to publicly label something a "bad post" (not rule breaking post) and that definitely isn't the atmosphere we want.

As I said in my post to Saurav I really think we need to reform the way pointless -rep is dealt with, infact +rep too. We're planning to discuss this at some point in the next few days so if you have any ideas mention them here and I'll bring it up when I talk with Brandon and Garion.

As opposed to showing a red box could the green box possible be modified to show the negative reputation providing that it doesn't go past zero? (for example, if a post got +5 and -3 it would show +2 as opposed to +5)

I like that, if possible.

Clamping down on pointless +rep adds value to reputation. I think the ideas mentioned above about the number in the box going up and down etc are a bit too complex and a bit unnecessary really, if a post is going to get -repped validly then it's unlikely the post will get +repped, so if the number isnt gonna go below 0 then it's pointless
