I am going to use the post quoted below as the most recent example but it is clear that certain members are 'targetting' their reputation votes and voting down specific members regardless of what they say ......
:annoyed: :annoyed: More Red dots, what the hell for this time?!! I only asked a question this time and 2 people see that worthy of a red dot, i didn't know if Sky had this as they have one half of the Old Firm live and i thought next week was Rangers' turn, i don't get why that is worthy of a red dot :annoyed:!!
Bottom line, its getting to the stage where we do one of three things .....
1. We remove the feature entirely (which I feel is unfair on users who are not abusing it).
2. We remove the facility to add any negative votes at all but still allow positive rep.
3. We remove the voting privilege from those individuals we feel are abusing the sytem.
There is also a fourth option, and one which I would hope we can try and do ..... use it in the way it was intended !!!! vote for posts you think make a valid point or where you agree with the opinion and vote for those posts where you disagree with the opinion expressed. Voting a post down when it is a simple question seems quite ludicrous
Are folk seriously bothered about what reputation level they have on an Internet forum? Deary me.
IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER
Do you not think that it is the clearly mature, inteligent, descriptive, articulate and attractive individuals who get the most green dots awarded to them ?

How old are you btw?? I don't think anyone takes them seriously. If you get this wound up over a virtual red dot on an internet site then people are going to just keep giving you more!
And don't
