toxicTom: Who would downrep you of all people?!
genkicolleen: That's why I'm not worried about it, because anyone who is truly a part of this forum knows what kind of person I am, regardless of the number under my name ^__^ Sometimes people have poor rep for a reason, but even people like Foxy can be targeted. It's a flaw in the rep system that has not yet been resolved.
... Maybe people with below a certain rep -- say 50 -- shouldn't be allowed to downrep posts? That might help, as I know that the trolls use alt accounts to accomplish their dastardly deeds XD
I've been here for years and never understood the rep thing. Actually, I just changed my forum sub-name last night. I;ve been a new user for 5 years. What's a guy to do when he only games and posts when he has a gaming question. :-(
