    I have never issued red rep. But some people have at times been the recipient of some particularly ironic green rep from me...

    At the risk of a jolly good infractionating...I'm calling you a liar, having recd a red for 'posting on the wrong forum'.
    Admittedly, it was a while ago and, with therapy, I'm over it now.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    That's an infraction, not red rep.

    No no, cookie boy. 'Twas before infractions became popular, and it was a truly terrifying sight....a solitary red, from Hitcher, nestled amongst an otherwise faultless page of green.

    I presume an "infraction" is something the mods dish out to the naughty people then....

    A green bling only system wouldn't work, you need some sort of balance - ying yang etc

    Some soft cocks do use the red rep system to bully other members, which is quite pathetic IMO. And if anyone believes they are being beaten up by another member using the red rep system then they should report it to a mod.

    Mods can only do something about it if it's reported to us.

    I voted if you missuse you loose.

    It's been said before, it's not the colour of rep, but the comment. Some people have PM'ed me all bent out of shape over nothing more than the red rep itself, but they just need to pull their head out of their arse.

    Where's the poll option for 'abolish the entire rep system'?

    It's been said before here, if you are receiving inappropriate/abusive red rep you have the option to complain to a mod, it is their job to take the necessary action, whatever they see fit. Apart from that who really gives a rats ass about it? Personally I have found most times rep is a great source of amusement whether it is green or red.
