Thread in question,  you can also argue that trash posters don't care if you downvote. (and that they can down vote themselves)

But then again... 

ugh.. i am not sure myself.. it depends on who we're talking too.

Are there any negatives to the reputation system? Like I can't post anymore or just I'll have a stigma of being a troll? I can see the pros & cons, but generally being a civil human being and not getting caught up on such a rating system should play out well I think.

i don't see why it's a problem to be honest.

I get people's concerns because I've noticed people just downvoting a persons posts on one thread just because.

 

But tbh who cares. You got weirdos like zombie who wanna have negative thousand and will use alternate accounts to do it. Lol

 

You have to be some kind of weirdo to think positives and negatives will change how people act on the forums. I'm still a banana and I have plenty of downvotes lmao

idk if that would really happen tho, i don’t think there’s any actual effects from excessive likes/dislikes other than the number next to your name

 

no artificial thread dropping/raising minimizes the echo chambers imo

kinda what i meant with depends on who we're talking about
But on the offset that it demotivates (be it good or bad topics), it sorta leads to that, peps afraid of the backlash of saying something controversial.

 

Edit:
the whole point of me asking before for more useless liking reactions, was also in the same vein of making the like system more of a gimmick too.

I made this suggestion in my suggestion topic. Negative karma will be abused and it just brings out a negative environment. I know on imgur I corrected people and stated facts only to be downvoted. Same thing can happen here. Dont like the truth? Downvote! Just let there be upvoting. People who deserve it and are good will have loads of points and people who are not great will have no or low karma. This way you cant even judge the person if they had a large negative karma. Its like you see their red and already dislike them or something.
