Im gonna change the line of discussion here a bit.
On almost ALL of the posts I got negged on, I also got a few positive reps from. Usually I end up ahead.
The fact that only HALF the rep is taken on a neg allows for pos rep to gain at a decent pace.
Ive been here like what? a month or two? and Im nearly 200 rep. In my opinion thats pretty fast. Even with the so called serial neggers, if people are posting things others deem worthy they get pos repped.
And Ive been pos repped by people who flat out disagreed with me. According to them it was because I could present my argument with a semi lack of retardedness ( I said semi!!! )
If someone is getting negged repeatedly, then MAYBE that person is posting stupid racist nonsense and deserves it. It seems to me that if the moderators themselves are going to allow for racist, sexist and homophobic remarks from obvious nutjobs without repercussion, then negging is the ONLY means by which the members of the forum have to police themselves.
Personally I dont see negging as working as a self policing technique or the nutjobs would settle down and place nice. So , depending on the owners long range goals for this board, MAYBE its time for an actual rule change about the offense content thats posted on this board rather than a reputaion change.
