*Disclaimer*
I haven't been the victim of -golding/rep abuse. Actually, I've gotten +
for posts I have no idea why. That said,
Some people are abusing this feature.
I am making every effort to find out who they are. Thumbing down users because you do not like them is not acceptable.
I've noticed this as well. Unfortunately, if most users here are anything like me, :gp:has become somewhat a "rep" standard as is in other forums (even though it isn't supposed to be). And I have noticed that some users have constantly received -:gp: on their posts, even when they don't deserve them. Users shouldn't lose "rep" just because (as previously said) they hit someone the wrong way. I think that either it probably should be made clearer that
=/=rep, or else that you can't gold people just because you don't like them (someone got repeated -
for posting a deck). I KNOW all that has already been clearly stated. However, unfortunately, *some* people don't read that. But those people should be the ones
, not the ones they've randomly decided to not like.
