Negative rep a no no conversation?

[Zarador]

The pettiness of this system is rearing its ugly head now that more people have farmed enough rep. The neg rep is getting handed out for anything and everything. Its a stupid system and was never needed. Just another bad choice by Turbine. This forum at one time had a civility to it, even though some disagreed, there was usually some form of rational discussion to be had.

If anyone really gives a **** about the community, head over to some of the sub forums, hand out some rep to the posters that actually contribute something besides caption this, pics of bacon, and the other "Witty" threads here on the general forum.

Something funny, since a certain poster has gotten to his/her rep goal, havent seen any more "caption this threads" have we?

One good thing about canceling an account, your forum account goes with it.

Great work Turbine.

So your fellow players disagree in the manner that someone presents them self in a thread, somehow Turbine should "fix" that? Just like I have no way of knowing what **** could possibly mean, far to clever for most to figure out.

There have been threads that were entirely on the other side of debate that got their point across and received positive reputation for doing so in an intelligent respectful manner.

How is it that so many very controversial posters managed to max out their reputation? Could it be that they know how to make a point without making a point a flame?

I do however agree with the part about canceling the account removes the forum account. I always abhorred the posts from people who left the game and still kept up the old tiring arguments explaining how two years later, they still don't care about the game. Let it go!
