That doesn't really give an accurate summation of a person's character since -2 points won't affect the rep bar as much as +5 rep does.

Since -rep is for those occasions where you were REALLY bad, shouldn't it stand out more than positive rep? Shouldn't it be a larger penalty? Otherwise, what is to keep people from being jerks all the time? I know I would shape up quick if I was -repped DOUBLE the person's rep power for something instead of just HALF the person's rep power.

Just saying :o

Please and thank you for your responses all and powerful staff!

From my understanding its so someone doesn't -rep abuse someone and tarnish their good reputation.

+If someone is really such a bad person, you probably are NOT the only one giving them -rep. Heck, just look at Isuri's signature screenie of his rep as proof. It just shows, if people don't like you, you probably will be -repped enough to make a difference. :P

Any more questions, or is this ready to be tossed into..DUMDUMDUM...GOLDEN ANSWERS???
