User Rep Poll: Should it Stay or Should it Go?

[Talking Poker]

I disagree with this. I can't speak for everyone, of course, but I know the Rep I give out has nothing to do with liking or disliking someone.

But even if that was the case, back up a bit. What made that person be liked or disliked anyway? I doubt anyone here is disliked for the superior poker knowledge they have and all the great poker strategy posts they contribute to the site. I also doubt that anyone is liked for their bullshit posts, scams, and that sort of thing. Think about it....

If you got negative rep for creating a new account and fake arguing with yourself, for example, I'm guessing it WAS because of the quality of those posts. That sort of thing is a waste of everyone time, and adds nothing to the board. Not only that, but people will undoubtedly feel like you are trying to "trick" them, which is also a good reason to give negative Rep, IMO...
