Well, most people will get tired of this very quickly (for different reasons),
but there will always be those with a nasty side that comes out when
'nobody is looking', and they can do their bidding and shilling anonymously.
I'm glad that some have gotten something positive out of this, but I wonder
if they have considered other people's experiences beyond their own personal
(beneficial) experiences?
The 'Reputation game' is, and will continue to be, a popularity contest, and
an index of Political Correctness.
Those people that NEVER engage in any controversial arguments, and NEVER
engage in political/religious discussions, will do well in this game. We should
re-name it the "PC Index"...
An update:
Yes, it is possible to have negative points. I made one innocent post in
the ('self-regulating') Air Canada Forum, and am now in negative territory.
One comment seemed to indicate that they did not get, or understand,
any relevance of the post - - but is that a reason to 'ding'? Hmmm...
