Are you kidding? I used to hang in Consoles just to give out neg rep!I didn't really see any evidence that there was much deterrent effect.

Let's hear it, in detail. . . I didn't really see any evidence that there was much deterrent effect.
What's your point, I still miss it!How is that deterrent effect? That sounds more like entertainment value.

The reason that neg-reg didn't have much of a deterrent effect was because of how the configuration deployed neutured it. The -5 as the upper bound on neg-rep given was too limiting. That made it so one could receive a handful of neg-reps, or several handfuls of neg-rep with one pos-rep, without being marked.
Can't some things have 2 purposes? :smile:How is that deterrent effect? That sounds more like entertainment value.
But the silliness factor went off the charts when people started announcing that they gave/plan to give reputation points...I mean wtf is that about? Is it now fashionable to give rep and let everyone know you're doing it?

Announcing neg-rep has been done (myself included) because it takes away the underhanded-anonymous-knife-in-the-dark nature of the process. That way the repper exposes himself/herself to checks by the larger community, and if it was unjust, can receive the appropriate backlash.<...>

What would be evidence of a deterrent, people stop posting altogether??
I think you saw alot of posters adjust their posting style after recieving negative reps, which is all you could realy ask for.
