Reading through some posts here, you sometimes read where members feel they have been given Negative Reputation in a spiteful and/or vindictive manner. So it occurred to me to consider whether or not it is a good thing to have this Negative Reputation - Red Brick system here.
I note that not all social networks have it. For example, on Facebook you can "like" what someone has put there, but you cannot "dislike" it. There is no facility for doing that. Another example a bit closer to home is a forum, somewhat similar to Living in Indonesia, called Balipod. It deals mainly with matters for expats in Bali. Like Facebook it has a simple facility for "liking" a post or comment, but not for "disliking". (Technical note - Balipod uses vBulletin Version 4.2.0).
Now I am aware that the whole topic of reputation was discussed here between March and May of 2011, but that was then and this is now. I'm sure there are many newer members who did not take part then but who may have an opinion on this matter that they would like to express.
Perhaps, therefore it would be useful to know what members currently feel about the concept of Negative Reputation - should we have it here, or not?
So I invite members to take part in a simple poll, and to add positive constructive comments here as they think fit.
