I have to admit I am becoming disappointed in how people are choosing to use this feature.

I just figured out how to see reputation points... and found I had generated a negative one today based on my Talkboard Thread on expanding the GLBT Forum definition to match the Women's Forum definition. The negative reputation was "FT is a travel forum not a a tool to promote gay lifestyles". BOY... did not know that was what I was doing in any way. And considering I have not posted on that thread for a few weeks... was really disappointing.

It will be sad if people starting giving out their reputation points based on discriminations (be it race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, or nationality). If that is how it will be used, I will have a tough time supporting the feature...

I hope that others do not get "dinged" as I did in that forum for similar reasons.
