And let's just say my negative comments outweight my positive by more than 2:1.
Looking at the points you handed out, it is more accurate to say 4:1, but all the negative ones were warranted and go along with you being a mod, IMHO.
I would rather see a MOD pinging on someone through rep as the first heads up, then through PM or over a thread post, gives the poster an opportunity to realize that they are out of line before calling them on it in the post. But I will leave it up to the MODs discretion on how they best like to handle it.
Someone else mentioned something about how reps were being used overall. Well, going through the WHOLE list, the vast majority of it is constructive comments. You do have those silly ones from sexometer and other made up screen names, but they are useless since they are nuetral, I just laugh at the effort to create another account, register, reply by email, then go find the post and give neg rep, kind of sad actually. No, I haven't done an IP comparison, though I might tonight just to see who it was for my own personal curiousity.
It is also interesting to see both sides of a heated topic, you get a single individual getting neg and pos rep for the same post/thread, as you have two different perspectives supporting/detracting from them...
I am holding off on more votes, and opinions before I do anything. I would like to hear from the ppl that voted no, just to get their viewpoint and criticism. My skin is thick, and I don't honestly have a vested opinion here, just want to see what you the members of this forum want.
