Yeah, that's true, some people have ruined it for others (you know who you are, you fscknuts) which is a sad thing (pathetic losers) because others who do post good things are afraid to put something up because they too will be slammed and then have points posted negatively on their account by someone who does have some status (did I mention pathetic losers already?) based on some dumbass reason like "you talk too much, smartass" (something I got from some fsckin' moron who "forgot" to sign his/her/it's name) or something otherwise stupid (idiots).

For this system to work, everyone has to join in. Post positive when you see good posts, post negative when something is misleading or hateful but use discretion. I posted negative to someone because of a very bad comment concerning the Sept 11th attacks but then looked around and found a good post from them and posted positive a day later. Why? Because I'm not an ass. And I'll continue doing so too, because people who post good deserve to have points assigned to them. For those of you who post negative all the time, once again, see my aforementioned posts stating that it must be a sad life you live where you have to constantly put someone down or feel that you're in some sort of 'power' position where you can just post negative and nobody would know if it were you.

I'll invariably get negative points on this, but hey, nobody can ever come back and say I wasn't open and honest about something.

Overall, the antipoints system is a good thing. It does add a bit of credibility to someone if they post good stuff or prove that they're full of shite if they don't. It just has to have the group effort to be successful. Hopefully, we'll all jump in. I know I have, and I'm fairly sure others have as well.
