As I noted, it's an experiment right now. I have it setup in the same way as PM's, in that you need to have a certain number of posts and time on the forums in order to specifically give negative reputation, so some newbie alter-ego cannot come here and slam everyone. This might change, at this point I don't have enough imperical data to make a decision on it either way.

Oh...OK...thanks. I normally wouldn't give a negative reputation anyway. I was just trying to bust Mountaineer since he did it to me. Thanks though. I appreciate you getting back to me.

My vote is to do away with this reputation junk. Who leaves comments like this?
I wish you could see who left comments, then people wouldn't be so rude.

Just so everyone knows, I am out of reputations for the day, I can't give anymore until tomarrow. Even if I ever do leave a negative to anyone then you will know who it is, becasue I will tell you.
