I think reporting a post does the same thing as neg-repping a post, just more effectively and fairly. Neg rep does turn boards into popularity contests, and message boarding turns into a kind of gaming. I know I'm not Mr. Popularity on here, but I do try to contribute thoughtfully, and would hate to be negrepped out of privilege to this board just because I'm me.

I may be biased, but I think I'm fairly OK.
