Well,
I've seen more people giving payback negs because they have a neg of -4 or something. And as there are many more people joining our community I think we should add a new feature.
The feature being: Not being able to rep people until you get too neutral.
I think this is a good idea because people know they must be doing bad (because of there rep) so they will try extra hard to get rid of the red underneath there name & to get back the privilege of repping people.

So what do you think?

Its only rep, i dont see why people care about it so much tbh.

Seems like a good idea

It is a good idea, but really if you see someone who has just done a rep-back then you should report the rep. Although it is hard to do this as we're not going to notice rep-backs that easily and stuff.

I know it's only rep - but for some reason people do care about it.
And if it helps the community it is only doing good.

No.
Shouldn't be allowed until neutral because then they would rep people positive to get positive back - just because they repped people pos.

I like this idea. Only people with a good reputation should be considered apt judges of others

I also hate when spammer people with bad rep, neg rep you and then they get banned so they cant change the rep and thats too annoying

It was a concious decision by the community as a whole to install the reputation system, and so we should try and make sure it has integrity.

Altough my rep doesn't bother me that much, it bothers other people, and people are more likely to get help if they have a positive rep. What they say also carries a lot more weight if they have a higher rep.
The rep is a sign that the community respects you, and gives an indication of where you stand in the community.
