Okay, there's a lot of you out there who are upset about getting negative rep.

No, not upset at all. Slightly disappointed at the inappropriate use of the rep system by a few members, I would expect more from the CD/FIRST community, .... but the negative rep surely doesn't bother me -- in fact, if I made some silly comment in a post like "Kerry suxors" and just said that, I would be just as dissapointed if I got a bunch of positive rep from Bush supporters.

Oh, let me elaborate on what I said, if that comment was directed towards me. I really couldn't care less about reputation points. They are meaningless; and, even if they did mean something, I'm mature enough to look to myself to judge my own worth, and not what other people who I don't know are saying. I'm not trying to be uptight, and to the comments that I talk to Brandon, I'd rather not bother him for something I don't even want changed at all. I just thought some attention on the subject would be a good thing, specifically as to what is appropriate and what is not. It seems there has been some discussion on that, and while I did search, it was late and I came back from a long day at work, ... so I missed some things, for which I'm sorry if I offended anyone.
I'll just say that of course the system isn't perfect, but it does have it's place ... the question is just determining what it's place is, and how to improve it with formal or informal rules. (And even though there were old discussions relevant to this subject, it sure seems that people have more to say.)
