Tight-arse.
Well I got a pos-rep, which made me chuckle. I think that (mainly) it's just a noticeable difference between here and the previous forum I used that had a rep system. Horses for courses, and all that.
One forum I was on (a few years back) was the first time that I encountered a rep system in forums. It wasn't a pleasant experience. There were some seriously fucked-in-the-head members, there. And I really do mean that literally, not figuratively. It was a hang-out of a friend, and she suggested I join.
I got my fair share of positive rep, but if you fall out with the wrong person... ooo boy. I'm pretty confident that, to this day, they're still counting down to midnight each night so that they can neg rep me again. I'm vaguely intrigued to visit that forum to see if they've blown the max-allowed number.
So, yeah... neg reps aren't such a great idea. They really can result in tit-for-tat wars.
