Forum Changes: Negative Reputation Disabled Indefinitely

[Pa. Patriot]

... I hope this brings back some members we havent seen on in a long time.

If someone left because they were neg repped...... I can't say I would miss them. Or want them back.

It doesnt matter who knows more then who-

Actually, it does. That is, if we want to have meaningful conversations.

i think this is a great idea it controls the Rep Bosses from neg repping alot of members out of orbit cuz they dont meet their criteria level. maybe alot of members will feel comfortable and come back on and feel more confident to open freely talk their opinions without having to worry about being neg repped out of orbit.

It doesnt matter who knows more then who its all about freedom of speech and freedom of free responses. I hope this brings back some members we havent seen on in a long time.

Spoken by the neg rep posterboy

You are actually the best argument for neg rep. You came here talking all kinds of nonsense, and got red squared. Then you started to realize you couldn't post nonsense and that you should actually think before you post, and you got green squared.

It isn't all about free speech here, it is about making sure the information that gets put out is factual, and that your free opinions are labled as just that, opinions, not facts. Now there will be no one to correct you, have at it son...

NegRep is a form of speech, too. Every culture has its ways of demonstrating disapproval. This is ours.

If we have a functioning community, we're all teachers and students here. I still learn things from folks here in the forum, and I hope folks learn useful things from me as well. Besides, "corrective debate" can only happen between willing participants. Sometimes, people are so bull-headed that that's just not possible. That's where NegRep comes in.

I learned a couple things today..... Like most days.

I never considered myself a bad poster and never gave trolls positive rep but just wondered why my posts went from 108 to 40-some.
Maybe I am missing something. Can someone please elaborate me?

I am a little confused now. If it was something that I did wrong or said then please except my sincere apology.
