That way the person recieving negative points can fix what the problem is in future posts. This will also discourage users from abusing the point system.

^just my 2 cents

Good sources? I think just about everyone on here is a good source. If they don't know - than they probally won't post. If they do post something - i have only seen good.

I don't really care for the points. I guess they are more or less a quest for attention. I am pretty neutral about mine. Points are kinda pointless to me - i have been here since before vB - so i could see them go or stay...
