I wrote this post in a reply on a thread in which someone created a dummy account on which everyone could dump negative points, in order to balance out their antipoint-status. Somewhere between reading that post and writing this answer, that thread dissapeared. I think it was titled "Balancing Antipoints" or something close to it.

Even now that the thread has dissapeared, I wish to express my feelings on the sudden antipoint rage - partly because I think I have a valid point, partly because I spent 15 minutes typing this text.

Hmm... although this is a clever find, I wonder if it will do any good in the end. Consider my case, for example.

I agree that I have neg'ed way to few people. I did not see any harm in not-neg'ing, and figured that JP and the moderators would filter out the bad apples in the community. After reading the 'balance is key' notification, and the discussions caused by it, I must say JP has a point.

On several occasions, JP told us that the antipoint system included numberous balances and checks in the form of different algoritmes. Why stress those by starting to create 'kick-me!' accounts? Although seemingly innocent, you could be disrupting some parts of the antipoint systems by trying to balancing your antipoints the quick way. Instead, try to adjust your antipoint-behaviour. Your balance will come, eventually.

Another unrelated but unwanted effect of this new balance-rage is that some newbie who askes just one wrong question as almost instandly banned from the system, as illustrated by the 'Balancing Time!' posts that are appearing. Like I said, don't search for posts you can dump your neg's, just adjust your spending behaviour.

This is a note to one of (anonymous) persons that assigned me antipoints, you know who you are. You are either completely ignorant or the brilliantly sarcastic. I had a good laugh. Oh, and forget about that "I wish to contact you" thingy, I was merely trying to get this message across.
