-Rep

As does having a nooby Habbo name init xxMATTGxx

I think that example is perfectly fine. Your grammar and spelling affects your reputation and what others think of you.

Well yes, if I wrote like 'ma nme is dom init i is on 'abbo atm', I would understand. But in actual fact it was for spelling ONE word wrong (a mistype).

Realistically, all that -rep does is promotes negativity around the forum. Most people only seem to -rep a post if they do not like the user, if they like the user then they probably won't leave a -rep. And when someone has received a -rep they will likely either do everything they can to get it removed or find a post to revenge -rep which they think they can get away with (or both). -Rep can often be the start of 2 people becoming enemies on the forum, it's just inevitable that if someone -reps you your attitude towards them may change which can end up sparking arguments etc. You just have to ask yourself (aimed at management); do you really want this kind of negativity around the forum? It's not always the case that -rep will lead on to worse things but it does seem to in a lot of cases. +Rep is fine, being the opposite all it can really do is promote positive things.

-rep shouldn't be removed under any circumstances.. it's given for a reason, I don't see why people can't express their dislike of users posts/users through -rep (as long as there isn't a rude comment). We obviously aren't all going to like each other on the forum and giving -rep rather than having an argument in a thread is much better - and saying the -rep will cause arguments, i've never seen an argument over it so there really can't be that many?

if it just gets removed whenever someone complains through that thread then what is the point in even having it >_>

Most "pointless" -rep people complain about isn't really pointless.

i once got a -rep because I'm a Justin bieber fan.
I didn't report it though ;P
I don't get -reps (apart from that) but if it wasn't pointless then i wouldn't report it.
so -rep shouldn't be removed.

if you're getting rid of -rep you may aswell get rid of the whole repuration idea

i also agree -rep does get massivley abused and that the report reputation thread should stay. however i also think that brandon should look into the cases more
