There should be an option like "I could care less", but I'm all for trying the theory that "no rep system == better forums".
Maybe we could try it for a couple of weeks?
You know, simply "hide" it and see if the admins see a difference.
Or maybe there should be a limitation as to how many negatives new members can receive? Like, say, three a day. There's no need for 20 guys to say the same thing about spammy01 or cluelessnewbie01.
But I'm kind of tired of these discussions, so don't expect me to waste study time in any new threads of this nature. I'm mostly an observer, these days, anyway.
