New Rule Suggestion

[Heli0s]

I can completely understand when people get -rep'd by people who have negative opinions about them. That means that you've obviously done or said something that didn't sit right with somebody. That's the purpose of the rep system, but to -rep somebody stating they said or did something that isn't true and didn't happen is totally foul play. Since this forum is all about helping people and getting to know one another, why is it that anonymous negative -reps even exist? Positive ones are fine, but if we're being -rep'd by somebody, we should be able to see who it is so that we can talk it out and come to an agreement about why the -rep was implemented and/or how it can be overturned. Otherwise, in my opinion, it's completely unfair.

Look at me, for example. I got -rep'd because somebody didn't like the music I listen to. Completely irrational and uncalled for by the person who left it, but I just have to accept it because that's an opinion by somebody who, for his/her own reasons, wants to remain anonymous. An act of cowardliness, I say.

Just recently, I was -rep'd for posting installs here (Thank you, Nemmy, for bringing it up on this thread earlier). I mean, come on, people. First and foremost, I don't even know what an install is. Secondly, I've been inactive for nearly a month due to personal reasons and vacation time. Now, I'm back and I see a big anonymous -rep saying I'm posting installs. Contacted Omni about it and he said it was "of little importance." If I was complaining about somebody's opinion, or how somebody was treating me, or if I made an inappropriate comment and I offended somebody, I could understand why my request was ignored. In that case, it's completely my fault. But in this case, I haven't done anything wrong. I'm left to suffer because of some random newbie with too much time on his hands just reached 100 posts and decided to -rep somebody.
