Re: Appropriate use of reputation points

Okay, there's a lot of you out there who are upset about getting negative rep. That's great. Instead of running right to Brandon everytime, maybe you should pause for a few seconds, and try and figure out why you received the negative rep. Most people are very hesitant to give out negative rep here, so there's usually a serious reason behind it. If you can't think of one, send a PM to the user who dished the dirt. Maybe you'll be able to have some sort of positive discussion with them, and you'll both become enlightened in some way. If people are giving you negative rep for dumb reasons, maybe you should just leave it as, "that was really immature, I'm going to be the bigger person, and move on with my life".

You really shouldn't have complain to the already overworked moderator of this board over negative rep. Unless some gives you rep along the lines of "you're fat and ugly, so I want your rep to be lower", it might be a nice idea if people try and work these issues out themselves.

After all, it's just a reputation system for an online discussion forum. There's no reason to get this uptight about it.

<Gets ready to whine to Brandon about the negative rep I'm sure to receive about this post... >
