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.

Don't waste time reading posts, +rep as much as you can...get your name out there. The more rep you give, the more you're going to get in return.
Never negative rep someone who has a lot of "rep power", and if you absolutely have to, don't sign it.

Just remember these two things and you're golden. or should I say green?

If someone makes legit posts, wouldn't that mean they deserve positive rep?

I hate unsigned rep as well. I like seeing who gives me pos rep (so I can give it back) and neg rep (just from curiosity). Like some douche neg repped me with "649?" referring to my at the time 651 but it's funny that Dusty pos repped me and got me up to 662. xD

Crono has much to be proud of.

I only sign '-Stefan

' as a joke, if anything it'll boost your confidence giving you a false pretence that he actually acknowledges you.
I don't ever neg rep, other than that douche imp.

ya that guy deserves neg rep!

I'm 5 positive points away from becoming a jewel in the rough. I hope the rough isn't too dirty....

I would prefer it all be anonymous so the rep system is used more for what is intended instead of returning favors.

You're going to stop people from signing their reputations, lol.

Considering how people like to sign someone elses name, whether it be for fun or not wanting the rep returned, and considering people are getting either positive rep or negative rep just for doing it to someone else, I think it would be better if no one knows, except the admins, who gives the rep, that way people will rep the actual posts more, and not return the favor, or abuse it by leaving someone elses name.
