LOL. You get a negative rep if you give out one

I didn't know that.

 

lol, there was already a thread on this topic i think last week...

it says in red text right about the submit button that you will get a red rep for giving one

 

Yes, I was just about to dish out one (would have been my first time) becuse someone started a thread stating the same thing as an existing thread (worded salightly differerntly, of course).

Will anyone ever give out a negative rep anymore. I can see the logic though because somepeople people give out red just for fun. This will make them think twice.

 

yeah, that little blurb of red text has stopped me from doing it a few times...it's hard to part with those little rep points when you don't have that many to begin with...lol

 

well, you know now.

 

You learn something new everyday .

How long have you been here for

Yeah, it costs -1 point.. or else we'd have people red repping everyone like crazy

 

doesn't it go up to -5 for you guys [or gals] with more rep? (thought I saw that somewhere)

 

Yeah... we lose -1 points but the person we red rep loses - 5

 

Wow! qwestcommunications where have you been! It cost only -1 so your not losing much. And remember to always add your name to the neg rep.

 

which was the very reason why this system was in place.

 

i have also lost 10 points coz of single red rep,so i think its 10 points dat we loose when someone with high rep gives red.

 

I think is real hard to avoid bad intentioned peoples to throw negative words about anyone with no reason .

 

that's not possible (unless it's shawn himself redding you, but then he'll be making your username red, not your rep). -5 is max.

 

hey you already have 5k posts, still you did not know! that means you are a very good person and you have never given any one red!
actually i have also figured it pretty late, but then there are a few threads on it! rules on dp are perfect!

 

oh ok ,it may b case of 2 red reps,i got ur point now.

 

I didn't know that-thanks for the info.

I would like to name a names but i want- there are ppl who use to be obsess in giving out red rep with a lot of name calling. Having this code implanted has been a great disadvantage to them and a wonderful relief to us.

 

lol...i thought it was the same for you though...you lose 5 rep to give -5 rep...seems more fair to me...lol...

i doubt you'd (and other people with tons of rep) care about -1..lol

 

8everything, are you bragging again?

Correct me if I am wrong, five is the max that be given as red rep and ten for green rep, and you get one for each green blob.

Makes most people think twice before dishing out the red unless they have a bunch of green.

Wouldn't it be cool if we got a green for every green we give out?

 

Yeah... People with tons of reps will most likely not mind losing 1 point. But I don't believe losing rep points with a ratio of 1:1 is the way to be fair.
