    Im not saying all of the ideas are flawless, perfect, or would work correctly.

    But i think that some of the ideas i stated using the -rep as half a point should be implemented.

    Good outways bad.

    Unfortunatly, in your case there are more bad than good in implimenting this rule.
    Half your ideas don't make any sense, I mean, what is "full negative rep" suppose to mean? Besides, what's wrong with the current system, it's fine the way it is, and there is no need to change it if they aren't currently any problems. I love the current system, this whole "fraction" idea of negative rep will only make things more complicated. The members of this forum are used to this system as it is, it's not going to get removed, nor will it get changed until serious problems have been discovered with it. (Your reasons aren't a reason to change the system.)

    The only rule which seems to make sense is the fact that people negative rep people often for more than 1 reason, when it did not directly affect them in any way; but I'm not going to get in that issue, as it can be debated both ways, and will result in this topic getting closed, and this idea dismissed. (99.9% sure this will happen anyway by the way.)

    I never stated that, I was simply just stating my opinion on why I feel this rule wouldn't work and addressing my concerns for the topic.
    Besides, I am pretty sure I am not the only member who feels the same way; which is clearly demonstrated considering a majority of the members who posted in this thread object this idea.

    I'm with Sniper on this one, he is a very good member, and speaks well.

    I disagree with this idea, the rep system is fine how it is, well, theres alot of useless reps but still, it's better how it is.

    .Rage. If you are going to post here, and say that my idea is flawed, At least have a reason you piece of at least everyone that disaggreed with it has proven a point, Maybe you should type out your damn words and get the ---- out of this thread because all your trying to do is stir up ---- you idiot.

    I dont care how respected Sniper001 is.

    If he is wrong he is wrong.
    If he is right, he is right.
    No matter how respected he is facts dont change in any situation.

    Maybe you should stop ing stalking me through a forum and provide reasons for why you disagree with things you mindless twit.

    Nice job turning this into a flame war btw.

    I do like the basis of number 3 but it needs some touch ups.

    Maybe, the system is fine, but how it is used is incredibly flawed. I think a lot of the members here look for reasons to give -reps. I have a lot of -reps for being "racist". When I said nothing about a race, nor was I intending to disrespect anyone. One person, decided I was so alot of people -repped me for the same thing. I don't want anyone to get mad, but I think Apex does it more then anyone. (wouldn't surprise me if I get -repped for bringing up his name) I honestly think he just looks for reasons to -rep people. Either way, one -rep per offense sounds good to me. I mean, no one should be totally ruined for one thing said. Everyone deserves more then one chance. Most people aren't offended by anything said, they just want to feel some power and -rep people.

    Also, rage, calm down, bud. Sniper may be respected by some, but alot of people don't respect him. Atleaste not at the same level you obviously do. Anyways, just my opinion.

    We wont be modifying the rep system. We appreciate the ideas, but yeah..no we wont be doing this.

    We will never limit the amount of times a person can be neg repped for a screw up. Face it, you screwed up, and if you affected more people then just one, its only fair that others be allowed to neg rep you first. It just means you should think before you act, or type, or whatever.

    The only thing we will be doing to the rep system is going through and removing invalid reps, both good and bad.

    But as rebelyell said, i agree that some people just go around looking for people to -rep because they feel powerful.

    But its really not my place to front if my ideas are not implemented or used in anyway.

    Thanks for at least reading my thread.

    The amount of negative reps you recieve per "incident" shows the magnitude of how many people you affected, and will hopefully be a lesson to you not to do the same thing again. That's why this rule is not going to be altered, because this part of the rule is essential.
    Obviously somebody who ripped a tag, would get more negative reps than somebody who made a spam post. (Generally speaking.)
    Aditionally, there are some cases where an incident involved a mass amount of people. Looking back a couple of weeks ago, there was a major credit scam where many people lost credits they purchased from 2-3 members. It wouldn't seem fair if only 1 person was allowed to negative rep them for that large incident; as it was a pretty big thing.
    Not everybody goes around looking for reasons to -Rep people, people do it to ensure the person who made the same mistake once, won't do it again, and might I add that most of the time the person who makes the same mistake once, does it again. (Not all the time, but in many cases you will see that.)
    Moreover, somebody who scammed let's say 20 people at the same time in a peticular topic, would only end up having 1 negative rep (in your case), which is quite small for such big ticket item, don't you think? People might deem this person as trustworthy, as they would only see 1 case where he made a mistake instead of 20 cases.

    @ Rebel - Concerning your case about being called a "racist" if you feel that you were not being racist, you should have created a topic in the Rep Abuse section to prove your case and all of them would have been removing. In view of the fact that you didn't do that, it seems that one of them was legitimate, and if that is the case, all of them were because it shows the amount of people felt your post(s) to be rather uncomfortable.
