There are always going to be immature persons to roam our lovely premise, but that doesn't negate the fact that we need to be open about the failures and the achievements of both the community and the individual user.
I think you should read over some of the debates against that in this thread
Quote:It's not pointless at all without minus rep. Positive rep doens't have to go up if people don't deserve it, and that cancels out the minus rep. Like Sickshot said, it's not your job to warn members, if you see them spamming though, you don't give them minus rep for it, you report the post.
Positive rep doesn't have to be given to those who don't deserve it.
Negative doesn't have to be included for that reason, and it only causes revenge rep, whether the original -rep'er deserved it or not.
