Good Negative reputation point:
Situation: I teased Big Mike on the Segway
Neg. Rep: Katie Reynolds give me a negative reputation point says its not too good


Bad negative reputation point:
Situation: how fast is your robot? me: 10ft/sec theoritically, but seems much faster
Point: stop exagerrating, you 25 scumbag

Now, although Big Mike is my good friend, I really shouldn't make fun of him in public, especially on a forum, so I thanked Katie for it and deleted the psot

The Bad reputation point, I love team 25, its my team, I've done heaps for it, and someone hurt me, WHAT!!! UGHH, I WANNA KILL HIM, !!!!
Nah, thats never my attitude, its simple, you wanna hate, go right ahead, you wanna do WHATEVER go right ahead..

On an overall, the reputation system should not take you in the wrong direction. i.e. you shouldn't have 7 neg. rep points at one time unless you've done something real wrong.

So don't really bother with a few negative reputation points and especailly their comments, Yes, they hurt, real bad sometimes, but forget it, the other person just needed his/her 5 minutes, let them have it and you can have the rest. Seriously fellas, I know how disappointing it is, long ago I had many red dots in my user cp, and i used to get depressed looking at them, but its not worth. Eventually it will all be fine, so just take it easy and give the other person their 5 minutes if you think its not justified.
