Why don't you, arcguy, create your own "free forum" that has no rules then share to us how messy your forum looks after a day. Then manipulate your own rep points so you won't end up having a red blob.. lol
fwee fowum! joe- the cost of red was in place because previously anyone could give anyone red without reason or purpose, and there were too many thread whining about reds given for no reason. when the system was in place, it was retroactive, meaning, it deducts the rep points from the day you started giving them out. my rep points at that time went down by 30.
Thanks i just hate that everytime i go into my usercp it constantly tells me that i have red rep.. any way to get rid of that veiwing part/
