Here is a thread for the whole matter, you're welcome to read it through. Wink

A rep war sounds like fun. We could gang up on the unwary, and after they dip into the negatives, they could be sanctioned with having their future posts subjected to moderator approval! Yeah! Win/win for everyone...

Aw hell no! Post moderation is such a hassle '-_-
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Yeah, doing away with neg/neutral rep is like making everyone wear a hijab.

Oooooh, someone might be tempted to abuse it. Pussies.
