Reputations

[The Only Real Estel]

Many people on the downs do misuse negative repping

I don't think so. Sure, there are obviously cases of misuse of the neg rep option, but I think saying "many people" is a stretch. Especially when you consider all of the good rep being given out & just how many members there are here on the 'Downs...I'd say a select few "misuse it," if any do.

"Misuse" would also imply repeated usage of the option in a wrong way, & I really doubt that many people consistently "misuse" it...but that's a whole other subject.
