    My take is that someone important thought they were a real rip-snorter of a cracker-jack good idea and is incredulous the entire player base is not totally enamored with them.

    Can't say I agree with the aformention rate, but I would sure consider that reflect option.
    The problem with reflecting them is that it makes the "reflector" just as childish as the original user.

    So? I'm not in a popularity contest here. It's just one more action/counter-action choice to be aware of. It's a moot point, though. They'll never do something like that, since the use of the forced emotes would be seriously reduced if they did. More so than if an opt-out is implemented.

    There is one other option. Make the forced emote effects client-only. The person doing them will see the effects on the characters around them, but the other players won't see them at all. That's a gaming-the-game type of idea, though. Even so, they get the chance to see the effects.

    They get the chance to see the effects in a reflector solution, too. In fact, they will have an even better view. Win-win, right?
    So long, and thanks for all the boars.

    Actually, no, it doesn't, at all. It's an entirely passive and invisible action unless a griefer comes along, then they get griefed instead.

    Actually, yes it does.

    There's no minimum amount of rep you have to have handed out before you can give -rep, your rep just has to be at a certain level (no idea what it is, though).

    IIRC, 1500.

    The only people who can give out negative rep are the ones who have spent a long time proving they're a valued part of this community. The flipside of that is those same people are also loathe to -rep someone except in extreme circumstances, and merely voicing a dissenting opinion doesn't qualify. Negative rep is usually saved for rudeness, personal attacks, and other things that almost but don't quite qualify for the 'report this post' button. Oddly enough, the kind of people who are able to accumulate that much positive feedback also aren't the kind to abuse a little bit of power. Funny how that works out.

    I will have to politely disagree with you on this point. Some of the 'valued members' of the community can still get pissy if you offer a dissenting view from theirs and get under their skin. There have been times when I did the same action as one of these 'valued members' who don't abuse their power and was neg repped for it. I am not going to say I am perfect, but I certainly would not put those able to give neg rep on a pedestal as paragons of the community.
