If someone posts enough bad to have negative reputation; posts enough crap people just disagree with or don't like, I'd consider them useless, wouldn't you? If you consistently disagree with everyone, and continue to post contrary things in spite of people making it obvious that they simply don't like it (via rep!), I'd consider you useless. You'd be wasting everyone's time with your posts.
Your reputation is just that. Your
reputation. You don't get a bad reputation just for spamming. You can make legitimate posts and still be a loser. And if you fall victim to what you're calling "abuse" of reputation, you must've done something to deserve it.
