Think Before You Give Somebody a Negative Rep

[Peyton]

Ok, want to go over something with folks.

On that other board, negging is anonymous. Here, it's not.

It's very likely that you give somebody a neg here, they are going to slap one back on you. Maybe two...or three.

And then it goes back and forth a and then next thing you know you both hate each other and you both have negative reps.

The admins have had to sort out a number of these neg wars since the sight started, and frankly, it's just silly and feels a little bit like baby sitting.

So.....if I were all of you, I'd only use the neg button if I felt so strongly about something that I was willing to take a hit to my own rep...because that is almost certainly what is going to happen.

And another thing.......I am not going to be the one to try and decide what is a good reason and what isn't a good reason for someone giving a neg......don't send me messages asking me to sort that out.

If the other admins want to wrestle with that.....well you can take up with them. I'm not doing it.
