Ever since we decided to use the reputation system, pos-reps and neg-reps have been exchanged regarding any number of things. I think it has helped improve content. And not just from the possibility of a neg-rep on a shitty post. The rep system itself and the use of it have spurred content. I like reputation and use it more so to give pos-reps than negative.
There are some individuals on this board that seem to take it way too seriously. A repeat offender that immediately comes to mind is Mr. Blonde.
Here is his latest faux pas.
Shame on me? For what exactly?
I honestly don't like much of what you post on the "Electronic & Instrumental Music" thread. Once in a blue moon I might voice my dislike of a song you post, but I don't recall ever neq-repping you for anything on there simply because I didn't like it. I don't often give out negrep at all.
So one neg-rep is enough to make you act as though I stomped on your sand castle? Enough for you to retaliate and rage-rep with reckless disregard?
Perhaps I just don't take reputation seriously enough. You tell me.
