    Red reputation in no way 'balanced things out.'
    You are more than welcome to express your opinion about anybody's post still, so long as you do it in a cordial way (no direct insults, etc.). There is no difference between responding to someones post in a appropriate way and letting them know how you feel about that post, and leaving them a red or green rep. If you wanted it to be read privately, private messaging is available to, so long as it too is done in an appropriate and polite way.

    Red rep was continually used as a tool to belittle and attack people's posting style, their personality, their opinions, etc. It caused problems every week. People got offended by the comments, and upset at loosing reputation.

    Also, in some cases, red rep was used as a group tactic to discourage or demean people.

    As much as we'd like it to be used constructively, as a way to 'balance things out,' it wasn't.

    The wheels of survival are greased more readily by easy lies than hard truths.

    It did slow down rep inflation just a little bit and would have worked better if people weren't so hesitant to use it.

    And some people deserved it. You know it's true even if you won't admit it.
    Wow ... it's been a really long time.

    I took rep inflation seriously ... I think I even red repped Mati at least 5 times, can I get a 'master repper' custom title from Dawnseeker?

    If anyone deserves a 'master repper' title it's me damnit! I don't even know how many people on here have hundreds of points from me absentmindedly clicking the button to inflate rep lol. In fact that may be a thread idea. The 'I've been repped by BigNorr thread '

    I'MMMMMMMM BAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!

    Nowhere in my post did I deny that it some people deserved it. I didn't talk about whether or not it was justified or not. That's irrelevant to how it was used, er, abused.
