yeah... the problem is that the only people who give out negative points are
a. lamers
b. good users punishing lamers.

i mean... it would be nice to have the AP's for cases where some jerk posts in the middle of a good thread "YOU ARE LAME AND GAY" or "HOW DO I HACK HOTMAIL" these things can happen and there needs to be someway to address them. moderators is one way. antipoints is another, cause once the person goes negative enough jp kicks them out. so i see you point, but i tend to think they are necessary in some capacity.
