I don't think this forum needs to reinstate the negative reputation system. The neutral is a bit idiotic in itself.
The negative reputation just gives those who are already negative a new weapon.
Reading the threads in this forum, and taking note of the attitudes atheists possess, the negativity speaks for itself.
Some of the most vile, immoral, trash talking, lowlife scum of the earth post in these forums. And they claim to be atheists.
I've browsed fundy xtian forums and there isn't the degree of hate there that there is amid atheists here.
When a group of people become unhinged and enter into a flame war against someone who has morals, the negative reputation option is redundant. The negative reputation those certain atheists here give this forum speaks on board and across the net.
Theists might be deluded, but the atheists that post in this forum are sociopathic.
If that's what holding faith in nothing creates in a human psyche, one is better served if they worship the floor, than to end up like certain posters in this forum.
So don't worry about needing a way to identify the trolls. Most everyone on this forum that claims they're an atheist, are!
