I like this idea, it would do some good to discourage people from giving out pointless reputation. The reputation system has been causing problems here and there for sometime now, it's nice to see someone offering a possible solution .

i disagree, negative rep yes but positive no. There are many ways around it as some people have said. you can just make some random reason like 'thanks for agreeing' or just cover it up with something to do with the thread.

positive doesnt affect people and if you got it, im sure you dont report it. I dont really see a problem with the current rep system apart from peoples rep dissappearing for no reason, but this seems to have ben cleared up now because of pointless repping...

if you are going to get rep taken off for pointless repping, you should at least get a PM or have had an announcement about it before it happened..

Yeah you get a formal PM from a admin saying you have had 50 reputation points removed for issuing pointless reputation.

[Moozo]

yes.
but this would turn into a competition of who could get the most red rep.

Then just ban them "/

yh but what i was saying was what has happened.. if you read the threads

they didnt get PM'd and there wasnt an announcement, a bit rubbish really..

so theyre gonna have to ban users because of a new rule which they introduced? theyre just wasting their time which should be spent on proper moderating.

Which is pretty poor lately anyway and it doesn't take alot of effort to ban someone "/ And it's only if the user is starting to become a nuisance. Also, if rep is removed for pointless repping, if the user gets down to 0 rep they shouldn't have anymore removed and if they carry on being stupid, they should be banned. Afterall, part of managing a forum is managing its members...
