Do you ever give negative rep?

[brighamosity]

We all rep each other when we like someone's post, but do any of you give people negative rep? I personally never have, mainly due to the concern that they would give me negative rep right back out of spite. I'll give someone rep if I agree with them, but if I disagree with a post, I generally just ignore it. Or if I really don't like it, I will reply. But I really just don't see the point in negative repping someone, because it seems rude to me. What do you guys think?

It's been a year and I haven't yet. The closest I ever came was recently when someone insulted the show Lost (Lost is like my baby to me). If someone ticks me off enough I will reply to them or ignore them. At the same time though, I understand why people use it to get a message across.

I used to use it when someone opinion's infuriated me and had no good reason behind them. Now it's just to the odd troll.

 

[Nate DaMac]

All the time.

 

[hatehabsforever]

Just once in almost 5 years.

 

[Khalifa]

I have a few times only because of when I feel like they did the wrong thing or just being a complete tool. If I disagree with a post I wouldn't do it but.

 

[The Crock]

Yeah, I do.

Prove it.

No

Liar. I red rep all the time.

 

[Awesome_Miz]

No

^ That's the truth.

 

[ScreaminNormanSmiley]

Check your rep!

 

[Tiger Chaos Theory]

A few times, generally I prefer a green rep with an insulting comment.

 

[justinsayne]

yup

 

[Pay Per Ghost]

Check your rep!

May you be lucky enough to get some too.

 

[Straight-Edge]

No.

 

[LilacFray]

Rarely. I've red repped only about 5 times or something during my stay here, two of them being tokens of gratitude for Carpathian Florist.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Used to do it a lot when I was a mod. Instead of giving people infractions, I would red rep their post, explain what they did wrong in the rep, and then delete it.

 

[Mr. Artistic guy]

Yes, in the hope it inspires people to be betterer.

 

[Davi323]

Rarely, but if someone says something particularly stupid, I might. I maybe red rep 2-3 times a month on average...

I rarely give out red rep although sometimes I would like to. Especially to those who I receive red rep from (Hi Jose), although I emulate Cena in these cases and 'Rise above Hate'.

For me receiving red rep will not make me change my ways or my opinions, in fact it may make me do the opposite and go on a reactionary rampage and start slating others with written diarrhea.

 

[Daniel]

Yeah. If someone's being stupid or a dick, I see no reason not to.

 

[Serious Mozzarella]

I used to do it when I needed to spread rep around, so I just dug my hand into the barrel of shit that was the wrestling sections. I just haven't felt the need to lately, unless your post is particularly stupid.

 

[Hulk Hogan's Brother]

Not unless someone red reps me multiple times. Even then I just don't sometimes.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

The post has to be exceedingly ignorant or stupid for me to do so. I don't simply hand out negative rep to someone I disagree with. Disagreeing does not (necessarily) equate to being wrong, so IMO it's wrong to simply red rep someone because you don't agree, provided their post was thoughtful, informative or at the very least was posted with reason.
