We differ in opinion. Different opinions, as you nicely pointed out, are not wrong, and are to be respected, nightmare.

I personally have realised my mistakes when people have said something and then I didn't do it again and in turn I haven't received any negative rep for it (furthermore, I haven't even received a neutral, but thats not the point).

Just wanted to point out that reps are just opinions.... anyone can give me a neg because we disagree...(as its already done )....

Exactly.
What some people forget is that the guy who triggered these refused to listen to most regulars and admins (WDZ), you do know that patience has an end....

Just a comment on mass negging here. If I neg, it is usually because the user deserved it, and I do provide proof in my descriptions (PIDs or TIDs). I do not look at a user's previous reputation before negging. Same applies for my positive responses. I either give proof or a general comment about the user which applies to the majority of his posts.

But with the thread/post IDs, it's important to remember that posts can always* be deleted or edited to get rid of the evidence, which could render your vote reason useless.

* Unless the thread is closed.

Yes... but who closes or deletes the threads... The important part of the reputation system is to help the admins and moderators identify problematic users. This is why I rep, and I report (as you might of noticed) alot of users and posts.

YAY for Nick!

Looking back at my PMs, he did really change a lot. A lot of noobs go for the post count at the beginning, then once they realize, they stop. That was why he did stop spamming (with the help of others), and became a 'normal' regular.

Now, he's getting along with pretty much everyone, and his rep soaring, while mine is stuck around +17...he also made lotsa friends too!

I would just say that if we dont spaz each time a new-comer spams, the spam will eventually decrease themselves, as the way people think tend to change.

I'm pretty much tired of everyone being so angry on here.

Every time someone posts something they don't care about, there's always a flock of people right there to spit in their face.

The Flamer attitude that people have causes anger to the Flamee.

The Flamee retaliates to some extent, be it big or small, in more anger.

Flamers, with big enough post counts, use their privilege of giving reputations to degrade the Flamee to the extent that he is even more angry.

The attitudes of many forum members, make that community members are too much.

This may just be my opinion. If so, I need to find somewhere else to visit.

Is this just my opinion?

(You'll probably see a couple posts that resemble the ones of which I'm speaking)

now you know how i feel

Yeah, i completely understand what is being said here, and i admit i am one of the (apparent) 98% forum members who neg rep a newbie. after reading this thread, i have indeedly decided to delete my rep from .2007's (and others) reputation to try and make it easier for him/her/them to repair. However, i am against people doing rep-backs (Pos. and neg.)

You do consider sometimes people refuse to listen, and that it does not work sometimes?

Sometimes.

I thought the rep system was there to show people that you think they are a positive or negative addition to the forum...
Everyone was a newb once... true but not everyone had a negative rep when they just joined...
And when people get mass neg reps then (most off the time) they deserve it...
By making this kind off threads you change someone's opinion about someone else...
ebfl (for example) should change his rep for .2007 and others because he thinks they changed, not because off this thread...

The rep. system only shows necessity in that It would show someone whether or not to trust the poster. What else does it do for the forum? Remind you that you hated that guy?

I'm not saying the rep. system needs to be removed, or even changed,  there just needs to be a better usage of the necessity.

There are arguments about whether the new people don't follow the rules correctly, or whether or not they should be given leeway because they are new, saying they should read the rules.

There is also the Swearing rule, which states not to use such words toward another member. I've seen a few people disregarding this, including myself.
