Not to derail this thread, as there was the other one that was more on topic, but there are so many posts i read where in my head, all i hear is - "was that really necessary to post?" Something that has had little forethought, little contribution to the thread itself, and an infinitely small chance of actually generating interesting discussion. But then, you dont want to neg rep these posts because a comment saying "dull, was that necessary to post" can be seen as elitist and non-productive. But then to neg rep without a comment feels even worse...

If neutral rep is introduced, it hopefully has an "i'm bored" emoticon. As I presume the neg rep system was introduced to shame those that are posting vile or insulting comments. But then there is a whole lot of filler posts as well. If you haven't put forethought and proof read what you are writing (or taken the small amount of time to split it into paragraphs), well then maybe there should be a way to give someone a small amount of neg rep. Reading that sentence again makes me sound like an elitist jerk though, which is not the case at all. But why not something simple (in theory, it may not be simple for you coding guys) where 3 negative comments = -1 rep. If others are also bored, maybe they should be giving neutral rep also, but there will never be enough of it given to seriously affect a rep score.

Just a thought, and definitely not a requirement. I love sc2sea, best site and community i have been involved in.
