    Exclamation Abuse of negrep function

    Hi guys

    I want to bring this under your attention. The ability to give negative reputation to posts you disagree with is a privilege of funding members. This is all fine and well. However, when you give someone 10 or more negreps in a matter of minutes just in order to bring down their reputation, it is considered a form of harassment. This is not what negrep was intended for.

    We appreciate all you funding members, not just for the money you put in, but for your general support of the forum. Therefore it is really difficult for staff to act upon instances like this. Please don't make it difficult for us. Harassment of other members is not cool, and will be acted upon by staff, regardless of funding member status.

    It really seems disappointing to me, from a regular, non-admin pov, that some people view funding as a way of buying the right to act like a jerk with money.

    The only thing i can say that would help the situtaion is to name and shame them? and if it turns out to be Murphy carpet the blighter!
    Have you noticed that if you rearrange the letters in ‘illegal immigrants’, and add just a few more letters, it spells, ‘Go home you free-loading, benefit-grabbing, resource-sucking, baby-making, non-English-speaking ********* and take those other hairy-faced, sandal-wearing, bomb-making, camel-riding, goat-f*****g raghead c***s with you.?

    I suppose we are all guilty of having a casual attitude from time to time.

    Yes, it's only rep, but what Murphy did to turin wasn't really acceptable, this is a community and we all invest time and effort here.

    People need to keep it clean.

    You don't get it, do you?

    By the way, you are not the only offender.

    Well perhaps you should look into my suggestion of putting limits on the negative reputations. Or in fact reputations all together. For example you have to pass the rep around before you can give it to so-and-so again etc.

    I don't doubt it. Though others appear to..

    Does that imply you are unable to control yourself? You are an intelligent young man, I expect more from you.

    Then don't put actual restrictions on, give me a number and I'll stick with it.
